Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of arc additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a plasma arc additive manufacturing device and method based on silk-powder coaxiality. Background Art
[0002] Arc additive manufacturing is an efficient and low-cost additive manufacturing technology. Due to its high deposition rate and ability to adapt to the manufacturing of large-sized structural parts, it has gradually become one of the preferred technologies for the manufacture of large-scale metal components in the industrial field. The existing arc additive manufacturing technology mainly uses metal wire as the wire feeding material, melts the metal wire through the arc and accumulates it layer by layer to form parts. However, the additive manufacturing method that only uses metal wire as the raw material has problems such as single material selection and difficult to control the alloy composition, which limits its flexibility and diversity in certain specific applications. At the same time, metal powder additive manufacturing technology is more flexible in the selection of material types, but its deposition efficiency is relatively low, and the cost of laser equipment is high. Therefore, a plasma arc additive manufacturing technology based on wire-powder coaxial is proposed. This technology introduces metal wire and metal powder into the plasma arc at the same time to achieve synchronous melting and deposition of the two materials, which can not only effectively improve the efficiency of additive manufacturing, but also flexibly control the material composition, and further optimize the mechanical properties and microstructure of parts during the manufacturing process.
[0003] Patent CN113385778A adopts the method of hollow tungsten electrode wire feeding-laser cladding powder feeding to realize wire-powder coaxial plasma arc additive manufacturing, but the hollow tungsten electrode is difficult to prepare and easy to burn.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation cases, which is intended to help understand the technical solution of the present invention, but does not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0028] The present invention provides a plasma arc additive manufacturing device based on wire-powder coaxiality, including a plasma arc power supply, a cooling water mechanism, a plasma welding gun, an air supply device, a wire feeding mechanism, a powder feeding mechanism, and a wire-powder coaxial welding gun. The plasma power supply generates a stable high-temperature electric arc for melting metal wire and metal powder; the wire feeding mechanism and the powder feeding mechanism are respectively used to coaxially feed the metal wire and the metal powder into the plasma arc to ensure that the two materials are melted and deposited at the same time; the wire-powder coaxial welding gun is used to accurately control the conveying path of the metal wire and the metal powder to ensure uniform melting and deposition of the material. The cooling water mechanism is used to protect the copper nozzle to prevent the copper nozzle from burning under high-temperature plasma. In addition, a control system is also provided for adjusting process parameters such as the power, wire feeding speed, and powder feeding speed of the plasma arc to meet the manufacturing requirements of different materials and parts.
[0029] The manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0030] (1) Material preparation: Select appropriate metal wire and metal powder according to the requirements of the target part. Metal wire is usually used to provide structural strength, while metal powder is used to regulate the composition and performance of the part.
[0031] (2) Process parameter setting: According to different material types and workpiece requirements, set the plasma arc power, wire feeding speed, powder feeding speed, deposition path and other process parameters to ensure that the metal wire and metal powder are melted and deposited at the appropriate temperature and speed.
[0032] (3) Synchronous melting and deposition: The metal wire and metal powder are fed into the plasma arc simultaneously through the wire feeding mechanism and the powder feeding mechanism, so that the two are melted synchronously and then deposited on the substrate to build the target part layer by layer. By adjusting the powder feeding ratio, the alloy composition and microstructure of the control part can be flexibly adjusted.
[0033] Combined with Figure 1 The present invention provides a plasma arc multi-wire powder coaxial feeding device for additive manufacturing of high entropy alloys. The device has a compact structure and has the characteristics of accurate wire feeding and powder feeding and stable melting control. The device mainly consists of an argon powder feeder 1, a cooling water tank 2, a tungsten electrode 3, an ion gas 4, a shielding gas 5, a ceramic sleeve 6, a wire feeder 7, a welding wire 8, a copper nozzle 9, a powder feeding port 10, powder 11, a wire feeding port 12, a shielding gas outlet 13, an ion gas outlet 14, a welding gun housing 16, etc.
[0034] The welding gun housing 16 serves as the framework of the entire system, and is used to support and protect the key components inside, ensuring that the device operates safely under high temperature and high pressure environments. The welding gun housing material must have strong heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0035] The argon powder feeder 1 conveys the powder 11 to the powder feeding port 10 through the argon flow. Argon has good inertness, which can effectively prevent oxidation reactions at high temperatures and ensure that the powder enters the molten pool evenly. The powder feeding angle is between 30 and 45 degrees to ensure that the powder is fed into the center of the arc. At the same time, the wire feeding angle is also between 30 and 45 degrees to ensure that the welding wire is fed into the center of the arc. In addition, the wire feeding angle and the powder feeding angle are the same, which helps the wire and powder to enter the molten pool at the same time. The cooling water tank 2 is used to provide cooling for the welding gun and key components to prevent the device from overheating during operation and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0036] The tungsten electrode 3 is the core component for generating a plasma arc. Under the action of the ion gas 4, a high-temperature arc is formed to melt the welding wire 8 and the powder 11. The ion gas 4 is delivered to the working area through the ion gas outlet 14 of the copper nozzle 9, and the shielding gas 5 is delivered to the working area from the shielding gas outlet 13 of the copper nozzle 9. The diameter of the ion gas outlet is the inner diameter of the copper nozzle 9. The ion gas 4 is used to stabilize the arc. The control of the plasma gas flow rate is very important. The gas flow rate is controlled at 0.5 to 1 L / min to ensure that the powder 11 is stably delivered and will not be blown away due to excessive airflow. The shielding gas 5 is used to protect the molten pool. The gas flow rate is 10 to 20 L / min to prevent the oxygen and nitrogen in the environment from reacting adversely with the metal.
[0037] The ceramic sleeve 6 is located at the outermost layer of the welding gun, and is used to protect the tungsten electrode and gas flow channel in the welding gun, and prevent the welding gun from being damaged by spatter. The wire feeder 7 accurately controls the feeding speed of the welding wire 8, and introduces the welding wire 8 into the molten pool through the wire feed port 12, ensuring that the welding wire 8 and the powder 11 enter the molten pool coaxially to achieve uniform melting.
[0038] The diameter of the shielding gas outlet 13 is 1-1.5 mm, the diameter of the ion gas outlet 14 is 4.5-5.5 mm, the diameter of the powder feeding port 10 is 1.2-1.5 mm, and the diameter of the wire feeding port 12 is 2-3 mm.
[0039] The present invention further discloses a plasma arc additive manufacturing device based on silk powder coaxiality, and the use steps are as follows:
[0040] 1. Equipment preparation: Check the tightness of the welding gun housing 16, ensure that there is enough cooling water in the cooling water tank 2, and the tungsten electrode 3 is clean and intact.
[0041] 2. Material preparation: Select appropriate welding wire 8 and powder 11 as needed, and load them through wire feeder 7 and argon powder feeder 1. Adjust the air flow rate to ensure smooth powder and wire feeding.
[0042] 3. Operation steps: Start the plasma arc, generate a high-temperature arc through the tungsten electrode 3, adjust the flow of ion gas 4 and shielding gas 5 to form a stable protective atmosphere to prevent contamination of the molten pool. At the same time, the wire feeder 7 and the argon powder feeder 1 accurately control the feeding of the welding wire 8 and powder 11.
[0043] 4. Melting and deposition: The wire and powder are fed into the molten pool at the same time, and are melted layer by layer under the action of the electric arc to perform additive manufacturing.
[0044] The following detailed description of the silk powder coaxial plasma arc additive manufacturing device and method of the present invention is combined with embodiments to help understand the technical solution of the present invention, but does not limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] The Al-4.5Mg-20Bi alloy is prepared by using the device of the present invention to make a wear-resistant bearing material having lubricity
[0047] Al-4.5Mg-20Bi alloy is an excellent bearing material. This is because the aluminum-magnesium alloy is light in weight and has good corrosion resistance. Since the melting point of Bi is only 271.3°C, the addition of Bi (bismuth) can form uniformly distributed hard particles or lubricating phases in the matrix, significantly improving the wear resistance of the alloy and reducing the wear of the bearing. At the same time, Bi's low shear strength and good self-lubricating properties enable the alloy to reduce the friction coefficient during sliding and improve the working efficiency of the bearing. However, the boiling point of Bi is only 1564°C and the Bi powder is light in weight. In the traditional side-axis powder feeding process, the arc blowing force will blow away the low-density Bi. At the same time, part of the Bi powder will reach the boiling point at the edge of the arc before entering the center of the arc, and vaporize and volatilize. The silk powder coaxial additive manufacturing device in this study can directly feed the Bi powder into the center of the arc and directly enter the molten pool with the arc, minimizing the powder loss. The specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0048] 1. Material preparation and pre-welding parameter setting
[0049] According to the predetermined part design requirements, suitable metal wire and metal powder are selected as raw materials for additive manufacturing. In this embodiment, aluminum alloy wire (such as Al-4.5Mg alloy) is selected as the main matrix material, and an appropriate amount of Bi powder is selected as the powder raw material, and the powder diameter is between 5μm and 50μm.
[0050] Plasma power supply power: set to 50 ~ 80A to ensure that the aluminum alloy wire and Bi powder can be melted at the same time.
[0051] Wire feeding speed: set to 3m / min, that is, the wire feeding mass is 8.4g / min, ensuring that the aluminum alloy wire can be continuously and stably fed into the plasma arc zone and completely melted.
[0052] Powder feeding speed: The powder is fed into the plasma arc through argon gas. According to the mass ratio of Al-4.5Mg welding wire and Bi powder of 4:1, the powder feeding speed is matched to 2.1g / min.
[0053] Powder feeding gas flow rate: Argon gas flow rate is 5-8L / min, which is suitable for common powder feeding systems. It can effectively transport Bi powder and avoid powder loss or excessive flow causing blowing away from the molten pool. During the experiment, the powder can be started from 4L / min and gradually adjusted to observe whether the powder feeding is stable and whether there is powder accumulation or dispersion in the molten pool.
[0054] Nozzle spacing: Set the height of the nozzle from the substrate to 5-6 mm to ensure the stability and uniform deposition of the molten pool.
[0055] Plasma gas flow rate: set to 0.5~1L / min to ensure stable burning of plasma arc.
[0056] Shielding gas flow rate: set to 5-10L / min. The shielding gas flow rate does not need to be too large, because the powder delivery gas is also argon, which has a certain protective effect.
[0057] 2. Manufacturing steps
[0058] (1) Substrate preparation: The pre-cleaned aluminum alloy substrate is fixed on the AM workbench to ensure that the surface is flat and free of contamination.
[0059] (2) Coaxial wire feeding and powder feeding: The plasma arc generator is started through the control system to generate a high-temperature plasma arc. The wire feeding mechanism and the powder feeding mechanism are started to synchronously feed the Al-4.5Mg alloy wire and Bi powder into the arc zone. Under the action of the high-temperature plasma arc, a molten pool is formed and accumulated layer by layer.
[0060] (3) Layered manufacturing: According to the designed path, the nozzle is controlled to move on the substrate, and the parts are deposited layer by layer until the part is completed. During the deposition of each layer, the stability of the molten pool is monitored and necessary parameters are adjusted to ensure uniform material deposition and the quality of part formation.
[0061] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0062] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
