Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of additive manufacturing, and in particular to a method, device and medium for simulating an electron beam selective melting additive process. Background Art

[0002] Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM) is a high-energy-density additive manufacturing method with the advantages of high energy absorption rate, concentrated power density, fast scanning speed, and low residual thermal stress. It can improve the quality and efficiency of additive manufacturing of metal parts and is a metal additive manufacturing technology with great prospects. The heat source characteristics of EBSM additive are highly concentrated local energy, instantaneous and keyhole effects. Especially for the keyhole-type selective melting process, the instantaneous change of the keyhole directly affects the quality of additive manufacturing.

[0003] Numerical simulation based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an effective method to deeply explore the evolution of keyholes and the mechanism of defect formation in the EBSM additive process. Compared with experiments, it can more comprehensively and deeply study the real-time evolution of the molten pool, the surface quality of the additive, the mechanism of defect formation, etc. in the EBSM additive process. The reasonable construction and application of the heat source model is an extremely important link in the electron beam selective melting simulation, which essentially determines the rationality and effectiveness of the temperature field and flow field simulation.

[0004] At present, the research on the heat source model and modeling method of electron beam selective melting mainly adopts the Gaussian body heat source model with regular shape. The body heat source model applies the heat source in a regular geometric area. However, the actual molten pool geometry is irregular and there are gaps (space close to vacuum) between the powder particles in the powder bed. The use of the body heat source model will inevitably apply part of the heat source energy to the gap instead of the deposition layer or substrate below the gap, which is inconsistent with the actual situation and leads to inaccurate simulation results. Summary of the invention

[0028] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

The server 104 can feedback the simulation calculation results to the terminal 102. In addition, in some embodiments, the electron beam selective melting additive process simulation method can also be implemented by the server 104 or the terminal 102 alone.

The IoT devices may be smart speakers, smart TVs, smart air conditioners, smart vehicle-mounted devices, etc. The portable wearable devices may be smart watches, smart bracelets, head-mounted devices, etc. The server 104 may be implemented as an independent server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or may be a cloud server.

[0031] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a method for simulating an electron beam selective melting additive process is provided. The method is executed by a computer device, and can be executed by a computer device such as a terminal or a server alone, or by a terminal and a server together. In the embodiment of the present application, the method is applied to Figure 1 The server 104 in the example is used as an example to illustrate, including the following steps 201 to 207. Among them:

[0032] Step 201, establishing a finite element model of electron beam selective melting.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, step 201 includes:

[0034] (11) Establish the geometric structure model of electron beam selective melting. Figure 4 As shown, the geometric structure model includes a substrate 401, a deposition layer 402, a powder bed 403 and an approximate vacuum region 404. If a single-layer deposition simulation analysis is performed, the deposition layer 402 is not required. The powder bed 403 is composed of a plurality of powder particles. The size of the substrate 401, the size of the deposition layer 402, the distribution and size of the powder particles are consistent with the actual ones, and the height of the approximate vacuum region 404 is greater than twice the maximum powder particle diameter.

[0035] Specifically, a geometric structure model of electron beam selective melting is established according to the actual powder spreading situation or the powder bed distribution obtained by simulation calculation.

[0036] (12) Meshing the geometric structure model, giving material properties, setting the initial temperature, initial liquid phase volume fraction and initial fluid velocity of each mesh unit, and setting boundary conditions to obtain a finite element model of electron beam selective melting.

[0037] Specifically, the material properties of each region (substrate 401, deposition layer 402, powder bed 403, approximate vacuum region 404) are set to establish a finite element model. The grid unit size of the powder bed 403 region is less than 1 / 10 of the average powder particle size, and the grid units of other regions can be gradually sparse, and the size of the largest grid unit does not exceed the diameter of the largest powder particle. According to actual conditions, the substrate 401, deposition layer 402 and powder bed 403 regions are liquid materials, and the approximate vacuum region 404 is gas material.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the finite element model of electron beam selective melting, the simulation analysis method is determined to be the multiphase flow (Volume of Fluid, VOF) model method of computational fluid dynamics. According to the actual situation, the surface tension coefficient of the material and the Lee model parameters of the gas-liquid phase change are given, and the initial settings (t=0) and material phase information related to the calculation of this method are determined. The material phase information includes the initial temperature of each grid unit, the initial liquid phase volume fraction of each grid unit, and the initial velocity of the fluid in each grid unit. According to the actual additive process, the starting position (x o ,y o ,z o ) and the electron beam moving speed v x and v y According to the actual situation, a velocity inlet and a pressure outlet are respectively set for any two boundary surfaces of the approximate vacuum region 404, and radiation heat transfer conditions are set for all other boundary surfaces.

[0039] Step 202: Determine the electron beam energy based on the actual additive process of electron beam selective melting. The electron beam energy includes the energy density acting at each point on the free interface of the molten pool during the additive process.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, step 202 includes:

[0041] (21) Obtain the energy effective radius of the electron beam, the acceleration voltage U of the electron beam, the current intensity I of the electron beam, and the energy absorption coefficient (heat absorption rate) η of the material to the electron beam.

[0042] (22) According to the electron beam acceleration voltage U, the electron beam current intensity I and the material's energy absorption coefficient η of the electron beam, the energy power acting on the free interface of the molten pool is calculated. That is, the energy power P acting on the free surface of the molten pool during welding is calculated: P = ηUI.

[0043] (23) The energy density at each point on the free interface of the molten pool during the additive process is determined based on the energy power acting on the free interface of the molten pool, the energy effective radius of the electron beam, and the position of the current heat source center.

[0044] This application defines the x-axis coordinate and the y-axis coordinate as the additive plane direction, and the z-axis as the thickness direction.

[0045] Specifically, the electron beam energy is Gaussian distributed. Assuming that its energy effective radius is r0, the energy density acting on the free interface of the molten pool at point (x1, y1) during the additive process is:

[0046]

[0047] Among them, q S (x1, y1) is the energy density acting on the free interface of the molten pool at the point (x1, y1) during the additive process, x1 is the x-axis coordinate of any point on the free interface of the molten pool, y1 is the y-axis coordinate of any point on the free interface of the molten pool, P is the energy power acting on the free interface of the molten pool, r0 is the energy effective radius of the electron beam, and r is the position from the point (x1, y1) to the current center of the heat source.

[0048] Step 203, for any moment of the simulation calculation, based on the finite element model, determine the region where the electron beam energy application surface is located at the current moment. The region where the electron beam energy application surface is located includes a plurality of grid units.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment, step 203 includes:

[0050] (31) Obtain the starting position of the electron beam additive, the moving speed of the electron beam, and the energy effective radius of the electron beam.

[0051] (32) Calculate the center coordinates of the current position of the electron beam energy according to the current time, the starting position of the electron beam additive and the moving speed of the electron beam.

[0052] Specifically, the following formula is used to determine the center coordinates of the current position of the electron beam energy:

[0053] x c =x o +v x t;

[0054] y c =y o +v y t;

[0055] Among them, (x c ,y c ,z o ) is the center coordinate of the electron beam energy current position, x c is the x-axis coordinate of the current position of the electron beam energy, y c is the y-axis coordinate of the current position of the electron beam energy, t is the current time, (x o ,yo,z o ) is the starting position of electron beam additive, x o is the x-axis coordinate of the starting position of electron beam additive, y o is the y-axis coordinate of the starting position of the electron beam additive, z o is the z-axis coordinate of the starting position of electron beam additive, v x is the speed of the electron beam in the x-axis direction, v y is the moving speed of the electron beam in the y-axis direction.

[0056] (33) According to the center coordinates (x c ,y c ,z o ) and the effective energy radius r0 of the electron beam, determine the area where the electron beam energy application surface is located. The area where the electron beam energy application surface is located is a cylindrical area including the substrate 401, the deposition layer 402 and the powder bed 403, that is, the electron beam energy application area is (x c ,y c ,z o ) as the center and a cylindrical area with r0 as the radius including the substrate 401, the deposition layer 402 and the powder bed 403.

[0057] Step 204, extract the liquid phase volume fraction of each grid cell in the area where the electron beam energy application surface is located at the current moment, and determine all free interface cells in the area where the electron beam energy application surface is located at the current moment based on the liquid phase volume fraction of each grid cell in the area where the electron beam energy application surface is located at the current moment, and obtain a free interface set.

[0058] Specifically, for the area where the electron beam energy is applied, the liquid volume fraction V of each grid unit of the powder particles and the deposition layer 402 is extracted. f If the relationship 0.5≤V f <1.0, then the grid unit is a free interface unit, and all free interface units in the electron beam energy application area are obtained in sequence to form a free interface set.

[0059] Step 205: according to the three-dimensional coordinates of each free interface unit in the free interface set, the pore interface units and the blocked interface units in the free interface set are excluded to obtain the free interface subset to which electron beam energy is applied. The units in the free interface subset to which electron beam energy is applied are energy applied free interfaces.

[0060] Specifically, for the free interface set, a vertical (z-axis direction) unit coordinate analysis method is used to determine whether there are pore interfaces and particle-blocked interfaces of the deposition layer 402 (or substrate 401), and exclude them.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment, step 205 includes:

[0062] (51) According to the three-dimensional coordinates of each free interface unit in the free interface set, the spatial range of the free interface is determined, that is, the space formed by the minimum x-axis coordinate, the maximum x-axis coordinate, the minimum y-axis coordinate and the maximum y-axis coordinate in the free interface set.

[0063] (52) The free interface units in the spatial range where the free interface is located, which have the same x-axis coordinates and y-axis coordinates but different z-axis coordinates, are regarded as a group of mesh units to be excluded.

[0064] (53) In the free interface set, each group of to-be-excluded grid cells only retains the to-be-excluded grid cells with the largest z-axis coordinate to obtain a subset of free interfaces to which electron beam energy is applied.

[0065] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, when the electron beam 501 is applied to the free interface, if there is a free interface unit with the same x-axis coordinate and y-axis coordinate but different z-axis coordinate in the spatial range where the free interface is located, it is determined that there is a pore interface 601 or a shielded interface 503. In this case, only the grid unit with the largest z-coordinate is retained as the energy application free interface 502. When all the pore interfaces 601 and shielded interfaces 503 in the free interface set are excluded, the energy application free interface 502 can be obtained.

[0066] Step 206: Apply the electron beam energy to each unit in the free interface subset to establish a heat source model at the current moment.

[0067] Step 207 , performing simulation calculation on the additive process based on the heat source model at the current moment.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment, step 207 includes:

[0069] (71) For all free interfaces of the molten pool, the gas evaporation recoil pressure is applied and the calculation formula is:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, P r is the gas evaporation recoil pressure, P0 is the ambient pressure, L e is the latent heat of evaporation of the material, T is the free surface temperature of the molten pool, and T e is the boiling point of the material, and R is the ideal gas constant.

[0072] (72) The finite volume method is used to simulate the EBSM additive process and obtain the melt pool evolution results, additive surface morphology and real-time evolution results of pore defects in the additive process. Based on the melt pool evolution results, additive surface morphology and real-time evolution results of pore defects in the additive process, the melt pool evolution process, additive surface quality and defect formation mechanism are deeply analyzed to provide theoretical guidance for the optimization and control of additive manufacturing process parameters.

[0073] This application is aimed at EBSM additive manufacturing. On the basis of analyzing the characteristics of the heat source and the actual thermal interaction process between the powder bed 403 and the substrate 401, the electron beam energy is calculated based on the actual EBSM additive process, and its energy density is determined to be a Gaussian distribution related to the radius. For any time step in the additive process, the free interface of the powder particles and the molten pool on the deposition layer 402 (or substrate 401) is identified by the volume fraction of the gas-liquid two phases in the CFD model, and all free interfaces in the molten pool area are obtained. Through the interface unit coordinate analysis, it is determined whether there are pore interfaces and the interface of the deposition layer 402 (or substrate 401) blocked by particles, and the pores and blocked free interfaces are excluded to obtain the energy application free interface, and the electron beam energy is applied to the interface, thereby realizing the heat source modeling within the time step of the EBSM additive process. The heat source model does not involve heat source shape restrictions, can be directly applied to the simulation of single-pass, multi-pass and multi-layer selective melting processes, and can be applied to additive processes with conductive and keyhole molten pool formation mechanisms.

[0074] Aiming at the actual thermal effects of EBSM additive manufacturing, this application proposes a simulation method for EBSM additive manufacturing that can automatically track the transient energy application free interface. Compared with the existing body heat source model, the heat source model constructed in this application has the following advantages:

[0075] 1) The existing body heat source model applies heat source in a regular geometric area, while the geometry of the actual molten pool is irregular and changes instantaneously, so the application area of ​​the body heat source model deviates greatly from the actual molten pool area. The present application simplifies the heat source energy into a moving Gaussian surface heat source that is only related to the radius (see step 203), and the heat source application surface can be any curved surface without geometric shape restrictions, so that energy can be effectively applied to the free interface of the molten pool. It can be directly applied to additive processes with both conductive and keyhole molten pool formation mechanisms.

[0076] 2) The present application can automatically determine the obstruction of the deposited layer 402 (or substrate 401) by pores and particles (see step 205), and can accurately and automatically track the transient energy application free interface, including the free interface between particles and the deposited layer 402 (or substrate 401), which is more in line with the actual thermal effect of the additive process.

[0077] 3) The present application can automatically track the free interface of the molten pool and apply the heat source to the free interface of geometrically complex particles and the deposition layer 402 (or substrate 401) (see steps 205 to 206), so it can be directly applicable to single-pass, multi-pass and multi-layer multi-pass selective melting without the need for parameter adjustment.

[0078] 4) Based on the heat source model constructed in steps 202 to 206, EBSM additive manufacturing simulation can obtain more accurate prediction results.

[0079] In summary, the electron beam selective melting additive process simulation method provided in this application is more in line with the actual process and has higher prediction accuracy. It provides an important basis for in-depth research on the molten pool evolution process, additive surface quality, defect formation mechanism, etc. in the EBSM additive process, and is helpful for optimizing and controlling the additive manufacturing process parameters.
