Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for quickly removing metal supports formed by laser selective melting, and belongs to the technical field of metal laser selective melting forming. The support removal method comprises: performing annealing heat treatment on the formed part formed by laser selective melting in a substrate state; then performing wire cutting to separate the substrate and the formed part; placing the formed part appropriately so that the bottom of the support to be removed is suspended in the air, using arc welding to melt the support, and removing the support of the formed part under the action of arc force and gravity; grinding to remove the remaining support of the formed part; and finally performing sand blasting on the formed part. When processing hollow supports in traditional mechanical processing, there is a risk of tool breakage and deformation due to intermittent processing. This method is not affected by the type of support, and the processing efficiency is significantly improved.
