Abstract

The invention discloses a femtosecond laser cleaning method for a 3D printing metal surface. According to the femtosecond laser cleaning method, the combination of femtosecond pulse laser and a scanning galvanometer system are adopted to clean the complex surface of a 3D printing metal component, so that the surface roughness of the 3D printing metal component is reduced, and the surface quality is improved. By adopting the surface treatment method, the surface roughness (Ra) of the 3D printing metal component can be reduced from 20 [mu]m to 2 [mu]m, and the application range of a 3D printingproduct is further expanded. According to the surface cleaning method, compared with a traditional grinding and polishing process, laser polishing is free of pollution and high in efficiency, a heat affected zone in the machining process is small, rapid and automatic complex surface cleaning treatment can be achieved under the condition that a component base body is not damaged, micropores and cracks are repaired in the cleaning process, crack initiation is reduced, and the fatigue life of samples is obviously prolonged. The method has an important application prospect in the aspect of 3D printing metal component post-treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser surface treatment and relates to 3D printing technology, in particular to a femtosecond laser cleaning method for 3D printed metal surfaces. Background technique [0002] Additive manufacturing has the advantage of making lighter parts and better biocompatibility. It is being widely used in aerospace, medical device development, especially implants with complex surfaces, microstructural porosity, and patient-specific geometries. Although 3D printing has shown great advantages in many aspects, its forming principle determines that the surface morphology of 3D printed products is poor and the surface roughness is high, which is difficult to meet the standards required by industrial use. Compared with conventionally produced parts, the main problems of the surface manufactured by additive technology are usually higher surface roughness, incomplete melting of particles, easy to fall off, and other shortcomings. ...
