Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solid phase additive technology, and in particular to a friction stir welding additive device and an additive method. Background Art

[0002] Friction stir welding is a mainstream method of solid-phase additive manufacturing and an additive manufacturing technology based on the principle of friction welding. The working principle of friction stir welding additive technology is to use a consumable rod to rotate through a stirring tool to contact and rub with the substrate. The heat energy generated by friction will soften the end of the rod, and under the extrusion of the axial force, it will flow out from the outlet end of the stirring tool and deposit on the substrate. As the rod moves laterally and gradually presses down, a single additive layer is formed on the substrate. The frictional heat and friction deformation work will cause the additive layer to form fine and uniform grains under the action of temperature field and plastic deformation. The material will not melt during the friction deposition process, so that the mismatch between the substrate and the additive layer has less influence, and thus the combination of dissimilar materials can be better achieved. The grains of the additive layer are small and uniform, and the mechanical properties are good.

[0003] When the existing friction stir welding additive device is in use, in order to ensure the continuity of additive, it is necessary to continuously feed the rod raw material.
