Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for removing supporting metal by cold spray deposition 3D printing. Background Art
[0002] The metal cold spray deposition molding method originated from the cold spray technology (Cold Gas Dynamic Spray, CGDS), which is to directly or through the gas heater into the scaled Laval nozzle of high-pressure gas to form a supersonic airflow, thereby driving the powder particles (5-50μm) into the Laval nozzle at a low temperature (generally below 600℃), and then accelerated by the Laval nozzle to collide with the substrate at a very high speed (300-1200m / s), causing the particles to undergo strong plastic deformation, and their kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, thereby depositing on the substrate surface. Cold spray deposition molding has many advantages such as low particle temperature, particles always remain solid during the molding process, dense deposition layer, low porosity, and fast deposition speed.
[0003] Since both the substrate and the sprayed metal particles remain solid during the metal cold spray deposition molding process, the metal 3D printing technology based on cold spray deposition molding has a very important advantage, which is that it is easier to achieve deposition molding of more than two different metal materials, which is difficult to achieve with other metal 3D printing methods. By utilizing this feature, metals with higher melting points are used as model materials, and metals with lower melting points are used as support materials. After molding, the support materials are removed by heating, thereby achieving the printing and molding of complex workpieces and solving the problem of difficulty in removing support materials in the current metal 3D printing technology.
[0004] In the prior art, the support metal is removed by melting it in a heating furnace and then dripping it off under the action of gravity. This method is simple and convenient, and does not require special equipment. However, since the solid model metal and the liquid support metal are often in an infiltration state, the liquid support metal material will extend and adhere to the surface of the solid workpiece, resulting in the inability to completely remove the support metal material by gravity alone, resulting in a hanging phenomenon, and the removal speed is also slow. A better method and special equipment are needed to completely remove the support material. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method for removing support metal in cold spray deposition 3D printing. The support metal is removed by relying on the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the workpiece. Not only is the removal efficiency high, but it also avoids the problems of the prior art that the liquid support metal and the solid model metal are infiltrated and are difficult to completely remove, and the occurrence of sagging. For some workpieces with complex shapes, the effect is more obvious.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the first technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows, which is a method for efficiently removing cold spray deposited 3D printing support metal using centrifugal force, comprising:
[0007] Step 1: Install the workpiece and balance block
[0008] Install three baffles on the receiving tray, and the three baffles are respectively located on the left side, right side and rear side of the receiving tray;
[0009] Install the printed workpiece on the turntable and secure it with bolts, nuts and washers;
[0010] Adjust the position of the balancing block on the turntable until the controller detects that the vibration displacement value of the furnace frame does not exceed 0.5mm when the turntable rotates, and then fix the balancing block;
[0011] Install the fourth baffle plate on the receiving tray, and the fourth baffle plate is located at the front side of the receiving tray;
[0012] Step 2: Heat and melt the support metal
[0013] ① Turn on the heating through the controller to raise the furnace temperature to Tr = Tm + (50-80) °C, where Tm is the melting point of the supporting metal;
[0014] ② Maintain the temperature at Tr±10℃ for 30-60 minutes to melt the support metal and gradually drip into the receiving tray;
[0015] Step 3: Remove the support metal using centrifugal force
[0016] ① Start the reduction motor to drive the turntable to rotate, and gradually accelerate the turntable to 200-600r / min;
[0017] ② Under the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, the liquid support metal attached to the surface of the workpiece is quickly thrown out, and the turntable stops rotating after rotating for 3-5 minutes;
[0018] Step 4: Workpiece post-processing
[0019] ① Loosen the workpiece and the balance block, and remove the workpiece;
[0020] ② Clean the surface of the workpiece.
[0021] In the present technical solution, when the vibration sensor detects that the vibration displacement value of the furnace frame exceeds 1.5 mm, the controller performs emergency braking on the reduction motor and restarts it after the position of the balancing block is readjusted.
