Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and specifically relates to a continuous twisting extrusion rod feeding friction deposition molding device and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Friction stir additive manufacturing is a new solid-phase additive manufacturing method. It relies on the shoulder tool to convey and drive the material to rotate at high speed, and under the action of axial thrust, the material and the workpiece surface are rubbed to generate heat, so that the material is plastically deformed and then forms a deposition layer. It has broad application prospects in aerospace, rail vehicles and other fields. There are many ways to implement friction stir additive manufacturing, mainly in the form of powder, wire, strip, and bar feeding. Compared with the friction stir additive manufacturing of powder, wire, and strip feeding, the method of using rods for friction stir additive manufacturing greatly reduces the difficulty of feeding. The bar feeding relies on the shoulder tool to drive the bar to rotate at high speed, and under the action of axial feeding thrust, the friction stir additive manufacturing with the substrate generates heat, so that the bar reaches a thermoplastic flow state, and the feeding process is easy to implement. Compared with the feeding method of powder, wire, and strip, the friction stir additive manufacturing of bar feeding has the advantages of high efficiency and strong material applicability. The raw materials can be processed into bars without further preparation into powder, wire, strip, etc.
[0003] Although bar-fed FSM has great advantages, the current technology is still subject to many limitations, among which the problems that need to be solved are: 1. How to achieve continuous feeding of rods. During the friction stir additive manufacturing process, the rods must rotate at high speed and be fed axially, which involves the movement of the rods in two directions. Most of the existing friction stir additive manufacturing processes using rod feeding are discontinuous feeding methods. In addition, when the rods are consumed, the machine needs to be stopped and replaced with new rods before the friction stir additive manufacturing can continue, which seriously affects the efficiency. Moreover, after the machine is stopped to replace the rods and restart, defects are easily generated at the connection position due to the interruption of the process. Therefore, discontinuous feeding seriously reduces the efficiency of friction stir additive manufacturing, and there is an urgent need for a device that can achieve continuous rod feeding to solve the above problems.
[0004] 2. In order to make the bar material rotate synchronously with the shoulder tool, the side of the bar material is required to have at least one flat surface, and the corresponding feeding channel must also have a corresponding shape, which greatly restricts the shape of the bar material. For example, aluminum-based composite materials, titanium alloys and other materials on the market are mostly plates and bars. In order to meet the bar shape of stir friction additive manufacturing, it is often necessary to further machine the existing plates or bars so that the side of the bar material has at least one flat surface, which requires a lot of work in bar machining.
