Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing and relates to magnesium alloys, in particular to a numerical simulation method for microstructure evolution of magnesium alloy laser selective melting. Background technique [0002] In addition to the inherent characteristics of pure magnesium with light weight and high specific strength, magnesium alloys also have excellent creep resistance and high temperature resistance, and are widely used in aerospace, transportation, machinery manufacturing, and communication electronics. However, defects such as porosity and shrinkage cavity caused by traditional die casting methods restrict the further improvement of the performance of magnesium alloys. [0003] Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology that directly manufactures parts. It can not only process complex shapes that are difficult to achieve by traditional casting, but also prepare high-density forme...
