Abstract

The invention discloses an online monitoring method for laser additive manufacturing. The method includes the following steps that the center temperature of a molten pool and the diameter of the molten pool are collected in real time; and when the collected center temperature of the molten pool or the collected diameter of the molten pool does not conform to the pre-stored relationship of the laser power P, the center temperature of the molten pool and the diameter of the molten pool, the laser power P is adjusted according to the relationship so that the collected center temperature of the molten pool and the diameter of the molten pool conform to the pre-stored relationship of the laser power P, the center temperature of the molten pool and the diameter of the molten pool. By the application of the online monitoring method for laser additive manufacturing, online monitoring and control purposes are achieved, afterward detection is changed into intervening in the process, and the beneficial effects of good controllability and high machining efficiency are achieved. The online monitoring method can be better applied to large-size and large-area online monitoring in the field of ships, rail traffic and the like, the online monitoring method can better adapt to a flexible manufacturing environment, and more far-reaching practical significance is achieved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and more specifically, to an online monitoring method for laser additive manufacturing. Background technique

[0002] The process of laser additive manufacturing is different from that of traditional materials. After casting, forging, and processing, traditional materials use X-ray, ultrasonic and other testing methods to determine whether the materials are qualified. Unqualified products are scrapped or welded. method to remedy. However, because laser additive manufacturing is produced by layer-by-layer stacking, it is significantly different from traditional manufacturing methods in terms of quality monitoring and monitoring.

[0003] For additive manufacturing, typically, each laser scan melts and resolidifies several layers of powder, typically 20 μm to several mm thick. After each laser shot, additional powder is scraped from the work area (powder spreading) or fresh powder ...
