Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing, and in particular to a device and a method for using the device to improve arc additive forming accuracy and microstructure refinement. Background Art
[0002] Arc additive manufacturing is a process that uses arc welding technology for additive manufacturing. It mainly deposits metal wire or powder layer by layer through arc welding equipment to manufacture complex three-dimensional structures. This technology has high material utilization and relatively fast manufacturing speed, but it also faces some challenges, such as precision control and microstructure refinement.
[0003] However, the prior art has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The top of the original arc additive deposition layer is convex, which causes the liquid metal to flow to both sides when manufacturing a new deposition layer on it, which is not conducive to maintaining the height of the deposition layer. After interlayer grinding, the convex surface on the top of the deposition layer becomes a plane, which prepares a good foundation for the manufacture of subsequent deposition layers.
[0005] 2. Arc additive manufacturing parts have a coarse internal structure due to the high heat input of the arc. Interlayer grinding is beneficial to the inter-crystallization of the split grains, refine the internal structure, and improve the mechanical properties of the additive parts.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention proposes a device and a method for improving arc additive manufacturing accuracy and microstructure refinement. Summary of the invention

[0019] Step 1: remove the surface oxide film on the additive component substrate, and fix the additive component substrate on the workbench through a clamp;
[0020] Step 2: Turn on the multi-axis motion controller, program the multi-axis motion controller, control the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 and the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 to drive the X-axis synchronous belt linear module to drive the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 and the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 to move the interlayer grinding work head and the welding gun to the specified starting position above the substrate of the additive part;

At the same time, the X-axis synchronous belt linear module drives the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 to drive the welding gun to move along the program-set path to lay the additive deposition layer. At the same time, the X-axis synchronous belt linear module drives the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 to drive the interlayer grinding work head to perform interlayer grinding on the top of the manufactured additive deposition layer.
[0024] Step 6: When one additive deposition layer is completed, the welding gun needs to extinguish the arc first, and the interlayer grinding work head controller is paused before manufacturing a new additive deposition layer. The multi-axis motion controller will control the X-axis synchronous belt linear module to drive the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 and the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 through the program to move the interlayer grinding work head and the welding gun to the specified starting position above the manufactured additive deposition layer;

[0030] 2. After the top of the additive manufacturing deposition layer has undergone a certain depth of interlayer grinding, the convex surface of the top of the deposition layer becomes a plane, which lays a flat foundation for the subsequent manufacture of new deposition layers, reduces the tendency of the subsequent deposition layer to flow to both sides when it is liquid metal, ensures the consistency of the height of the subsequent deposition layer, and avoids the situation that the top of the ordinary arc additive deposition layer is convex, which makes the subsequent deposition layer easy to flow to both sides when it is liquid metal, causing the height of the subsequent deposition layer to become thinner and thinner, thereby reducing the deposition efficiency.
[0031] 3. By performing interlayer grinding on the top of each deposited layer, the inter-crystalline grains are cut and the internal structure is refined, thereby improving the mechanical properties and avoiding the coarse inter-crystalline grains caused by the large arc heat input during ordinary arc additive manufacturing.

After the interlayer grinding work is completed, the interlayer grinding work head controller 17 needs to click to pause, and the multi-axis motion controller 12 will control the X-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 to drive the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 2 and the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 6 through the program to move the interlayer grinding work head 3 and the welding gun 7 to the specified starting position above the additive deposition layer that has been manufactured.
[0058] When the additive manufacturing work is completed, the multi-axis motion controller 12 is used to control the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 11 and the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 18 to drive the X-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 to drive the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 2 and the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 6 to move the interlayer grinding work head 3 and the welding gun 7 to a safe position away from the additive part 15, leaving enough working space for removing the additive part 15, turn off the multi-axis motion controller 12, turn off the welding power supply 13, turn off the interlayer grinding work head controller 17, and the work is completed.
[0059] The beneficial effects are as follows: by utilizing the cooperation of the X-axis synchronous belt linear module 1, the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 11, the Y-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 18, the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 1 2 and the Z-axis synchronous belt linear module 2 6, the welding gun 7 and the interlayer grinding work head 3 can be driven under the control of the multi-axis motion controller 12 to manufacture three-dimensional arc additive parts of any shape, and the automation efficiency is higher; when the top of the additive manufacturing deposition layer undergoes interlayer grinding of a certain depth, the convex surface of the top of the deposition layer becomes a plane, which lays a planar foundation for the manufacture of subsequent new deposition layers, reduces the tendency of the liquid metal of the subsequent deposition layers to flow to both sides, and ensures the consistency of the height of the subsequent deposition layers; by performing interlayer grinding on the top of each deposition layer, the inter-crystalline grains are cut, the internal structure is refined, and the mechanical properties are improved.
