Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal additive manufacturing, and in particular to a device and method for improving the structure and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys manufactured by arc fuse additive manufacturing by rapid cooling. Background Art

[0002] Magnesium and its alloys are the lightest engineering metal materials, known as the "green engineering materials of the 21st century". Due to their low specific gravity, high specific strength and stiffness, recyclability, good biocompatibility, and excellent castability and machinability, they have attracted increasing attention in the fields of aerospace, automobiles, 3C (computers, communications and consumer electronics), construction and biomedicine, and have great application potential. Traditional casting / forging processes are widely used to manufacture magnesium alloys, but they have many limitations, such as low cooling rate, difficult to avoid casting defects, high equipment requirements, limited design freedom, low yield and material utilization. However, wire arc additive manufacturing, as an emerging directed energy deposition technology, can rapidly form large components with complex geometric features and customizable microstructures, providing an effective way to manufacture complex structural components.

[0003] Arc-fused wire additive manufacturing has the advantages of high deposition rate, large and complex parts, simple equipment and operation, low equipment energy consumption, high material utilization, and easy real-time repair. Despite these advantages, research on magnesium alloy processes based on WAAM is still limited because there are not many materials that can be used for filler wire, and the alloys that can be used for this are not specifically designed for welding or additive layer manufacturing, so their performance is limited. In addition, during the manufacturing process, as the number and width of the stacking layers increase, the heat dissipation conditions of the components deteriorate, the heat accumulation is serious, and the molten pool is overheated, which will lead to the growth of columnar grain structure, resulting in poor tensile properties and anisotropic mechanical properties.

[0042] Step 2, using a magnesium alloy AZ31 extruded plate as a substrate, pre-treating the surface of the substrate, the substrate size is 120 mm×8 mm×4 mm, and the pre-treatment is: first grinding with 600-grit sandpaper, and then wiping the surface of the substrate with anhydrous alcohol to obtain a pre-treated substrate;

[0043] Step 3, build an experimental platform, first fix the pretreated substrate obtained in step 2 on a liftable platform with a clamp, and then fix the two cooling plates described in step 1 on both sides of the substrate (not on the liftable platform);

[0044] Step 4, using magnesium alloy AZ31 with a diameter of 1.2 mm as a filler wire, adopting arc fuse additive manufacturing technology, and cooperating with cold metal transfer (CMT) mode to weld a single-pass multi-layer workpiece, with the horizontal direction of the substrate as the traveling direction of additive manufacturing, and the vertical direction of the substrate as the stacking direction of additive manufacturing. After determining the starting point P1 and the end point P2 on the substrate, a two-way reciprocating travel path is adopted, and the welding gun first deposits from point P1 to point P2. After the computer temperature reading cools to 48-52°C, the engine is started to lower the lifting platform by 3mm, and the welding gun is then deposited from point P2 to point P1. After the computer temperature reading cools to 48-52°C, the lifting platform is further lowered by 3mm;

[0045] Step 5, repeat step 4 until 12 layers are deposited, and finally obtain the thin wall of magnesium alloy AZ31 manufactured by arc fuse additive manufacturing.

[0048] The workpiece finally obtained in this embodiment was observed through electron microscope for microstructure. Figure 5 As shown in (a), it can be seen that the grain size is 58 μm.

[0049] Comparative Example 1

[0050] This comparative example provides a method for manufacturing magnesium alloy by arc fuse additive manufacturing through natural air cooling without using the above-mentioned device, comprising the following steps:

After determining the starting point P1 and the end point P2 on the substrate, a two-way reciprocating travel path is adopted, and the welding gun first deposits from point P1 to point P2. After the surface temperature of the workpiece is naturally cooled to 50°C by air, the welding gun deposits from point P2 to point P1;

[0054] Step 4, repeat step 3 until 12 layers are deposited, and finally a thin wall of magnesium alloy AZ31 is obtained by arc fuse additive manufacturing. The size of the obtained thin wall is 95mm×8mm×4mm, and the welding process parameters are: welding current is 90A, welding voltage is 12.3V, wire feeding speed is 6.2m / min, and travel speed is 6.6mm / s. The welding gun moves in a "Z"-shaped swing mode with a swing width of 7mm and a swing length of 3mm, and the shielding gas is high-purity argon gas with a gas flow rate of 20L / min.

[0055] The magnesium alloy thin wall obtained in this comparative example was sampled in the stacking direction, and the room temperature tensile strength was 188.1 MPa, the yield strength was 103.2 MPa, and the elongation was 9.2%. Figure 3 (b) as shown.

[0056] In the additive manufacturing process of this comparative example, it takes a long time to cool to the target temperature, and the time taken to obtain a final magnesium alloy component is 2200s. Figure 4 (b) as shown.

[0057] The workpiece finally obtained in this embodiment was observed through electron microscope for microstructure. Figure 5 As shown in (b), it can be seen that the grain size is 119 μm.

[0058] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the grain size is refined through the water-cooling-assisted rapid cooling strategy, so that the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the workpiece are greatly improved.

[0059] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the time for depositing a workpiece is greatly reduced and the deposition efficiency is greatly improved through the water-cooling-assisted rapid cooling strategy.

After drying, the substrate is fixed on the substrate mounting seat (11), with the formed surface of the substrate facing upward; Step (3), adjusting the height of the left water-cooling plate (6) and the right water-cooling plate (7) and clamping the substrate and the substrate mounting seat (11) through the automatic lifting system: the control system (2) drives the stepper motor (14) to rotate, thereby driving the left water-cooling plate (6) and the right water-cooling plate (7) to rise and fall, so that the distance between the molding surface of the substrate and the top of the left water-cooling plate (6) and the right water-cooling plate (7) is the height of the single-layer additive manufacturing, and then the control system (2) drives the pneumatic valve to open, and the clamping cylinder (12) applies pressure to clamp the left water-cooling plate (6) and the right water-cooling plate (7) to clamp the substrate and the substrate mounting seat (11); Step (4), starting the water cooling system: the control system (2) starts the water cooling machine (1) to work, and the cold water from the water outlet of the water cooling machine (1) enters the water inlet of the left water cooling plate (6) and the right water cooling plate (7), and returns to the return water outlet of the water cooling machine (1) through the water outlet of the left water cooling plate (6) and the right water cooling plate (7) and takes away the heat; Step (5), start additive manufacturing: start the welding gun (3) of the electric welder to complete the first layer of additive manufacturing, during the manufacturing process, the infrared thermal imager (5) detects temperature changes, and the water cooling system continuously cools the molten pool and the additive straight wall component (10); Step (6), after completing one layer of additive forming, the welding gun (3) of the electric welding machine stops working, and waits for the temperature of the additive straight wall component (10) to drop to a preset temperature, and then the control system (2) drives the clamping cylinder (12) to release, and drives the stepping motor (14) to make the lifting system work, and after the left water-cooling plate (6) and the right water-cooling plate (7) rise to a height of one layer, the clamping cylinder (12) is driven to clamp and start the next layer of additive forming; Step (7), repeating steps (4) to (6) until the desired height is reached and the forming is completed, releasing the clamping cylinder (12) and removing the additive straight wall component (10).
