Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronics, and more specifically, to a flux-cored wire for arc additive manufacturing and its processing technology. Background Art
[0002] A flux-cored wire is a composite welding material with powder filled in a metal casing of the wire. Since its birth in the 1950s, it has been widely used in the fields of traditional welding and additive manufacturing. With the development of wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology, flux-cored wires have gradually replaced solid wires due to their customizable composition, excellent metallurgical properties, and high forming efficiency, becoming cost-effective metal additive materials. Its technological development has evolved from early carbon steel flux-cored wires to high-performance wires such as stainless steel, nickel-based, titanium alloy, and aluminum alloy. The types of filler materials have become increasingly rich, and the control accuracy and stability have been significantly improved. At the same time, the processing technology has been optimized from traditional coil core forming to continuous forming, fine powder blending, and low porosity, achieving higher consistency and quality control.
[0003] However, the biggest drawback of current flux-cored wires in arc additive manufacturing lies in the lack of compositional uniformity and droplet transfer stability. Due to uneven powder distribution or gas escape, it is easy to cause forming defects such as alloy element burning loss, slag inclusion, and pores, affecting the tissue density and mechanical properties of the additive layer. In addition, the preparation cost and process complexity also restrict its wide application in high-end structural parts. Therefore, improving the uniformity of flux filling, developing low-volatile components, and optimizing the wire structure design and droplet control technology are the key directions for future development.

[0037] Comparative Example 3: Compared with Example 3, no dry protective atmosphere is used, and compressed air is directly used.
[0038] The core powder absorbs moisture and oxidizes severely during the encapsulation process, resulting in a high oxygen content in the final welding wire; During the additive manufacturing process, the spatter is large and the smoke and dust are obvious; There are porosity defects during the welding process, and the deposition efficiency is only 75%.
[0039] Comparative Example 4: Compared with Example 1, traditional powder mixing (without ball milling) is adopted and the operation is carried out in an open environment.
[0040] The uniformity of the core powder mixing is poor, and the ceramic particles agglomerate severely; The composition of the final deposited parts fluctuates significantly, and the mechanical properties are unstable; The tensile strength fluctuates between 680 - 720 MPa, and a layered and segregated structure appears.

[0057] The experimental table is as Figure 1 shown: Table 1 Experimental analysis: The flux-cored wires prepared in Examples 1–4 showed better performance during arc additive manufacturing: Wire feeding and droplet behavior: The wire feeding of the example wires was stable, the droplets were mainly transferred by liquid bridge, the transfer frequency was stable, and the average particle size was consistent; while the wires of the comparative examples were prone to short-circuit transfer and unstable droplets, affecting the control of the molten pool.
[0058] Composition uniformity: The elements and particles in the deposited layers in the examples were evenly distributed, and the core powder was well arranged in the cross-section of the wire; while the wires of the comparative examples had segregation, agglomeration and local powder deficiency.
[0059] Consistency of the deposited microstructure: The grains of the deposited samples in the examples were uniform, the interlayer bonding was good, and the microstructure was dense; while the grains of the comparative example samples were coarse and uneven, and there were large fluctuations between layers.
[0060] Welding defect and spatter control: The examples had less spatter, fewer defects, and high welding stability; while the comparative examples had more spatter, were prone to form pores and inclusions, and had low material utilization rate.
[0061] To determine the microstructure density and crack sensitivity of the metal deposited layers of the flux-cored wires in the examples and comparative examples, the following comparative experiments were designed, and the experimental steps are as follows: In this experiment, the flux-cored wire prepared in Example 1 (hereinafter referred to as sample A) and the flux-cored wire prepared in Comparative Example 2 (hereinafter referred to as sample B) were selected for comparison, and the differences in the effects on the microstructure density and crack sensitivity of the deposited layer during arc additive manufacturing were mainly evaluated.
[0062] Preparation of experimental items: 5 kg each of flux-cored wire samples A (Example 1) and B (Comparative Example 2) Medium carbon steel substrate plates, with dimensions of 150 mm × 150 mm × 10 mm, and the surfaces were polished with a grinding wheel and wiped with alcohol GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) additive manufacturing equipment, with a constant current power supply Argon protection, purity ≥99.99%, and the flow rate was adjusted to 25 L / min Thermocouple, infrared thermal imager, XRD analyzer, optical metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), crack analysis system The experimental steps are as follows: A1. Select the above medium carbon steel substrate plates and clean them with alcohol to remove oxides and oil stains to ensure the same initial surface cleanliness.
[0063] A2. The surfacing forming is carried out using sample A and sample B respectively, and the control parameters are as follows: welding current 140 A, voltage 24 V, welding speed 8 mm / s, wire feeding speed 12 m / min, interlayer temperature not exceeding 150 °C, single-pass surfacing thickness 2.5 mm, and a three-layer and six-pass surfacing component is manufactured.
[0064] A3. Samples perpendicular to the weld bead direction are intercepted from the middle of the additive component for metallographic sample preparation, and an optical microscope and SEM are used to analyze the tissue uniformity, grain size, and pore distribution. The number of pores per square millimeter, average grain size, and inclusion distribution index are counted.
[0065] A4. Stress cold cracking sensitivity tests are carried out on the surfacing areas of the two samples respectively. The constrained plate test method with a V-shaped notch is used to observe whether thermal cracks and cold cracks appear during the cooling process to room temperature after additive manufacturing, and their distribution and crack lengths are recorded.
[0066] A5. Residual stress scanning is carried out on the surface and cross-section of the deposition layer by XRD method to compare the principal stress values, stress gradients, and stress concentration regions in the samples made of the two wires.
[0067] The experimental data are shown in Table 2: Table 2 Experimental analysis: The grain size of sample A is significantly smaller than that of sample B, and the number of pores is much lower than that of sample B. The effect of grain refinement makes sample A have a more uniform tissue structure, reduces the stress concentration region caused by micro-defects, and helps to enhance the mechanical properties of the welded joint. In contrast, sample B has larger grains and more pores during the surfacing process, indicating that its compositional uniformity is poor and it is easy to form defect regions, affecting the overall quality of the material.
[0068] Crack sensitivity: No thermal cracks or cold cracks appeared in sample A after surfacing, while multiple cracks appeared in sample B, with the maximum crack length reaching 3.5 mm. The existence of cracks indicates that sample B has a stronger crack sensitivity, which may be due to compositional non-uniformity, welding stress accumulation, and local deformation caused by thermal cycling. In contrast, sample A has improved wire composition and process, making it more resistant to the generation of thermal cracks and cold cracks.
[0069] Residual stress: The XRD test results show that the residual stress of sample A is lower and controlled within a reasonable range, indicating that the thermal stress during the surfacing process is more evenly distributed and it is not easy to generate stress concentration; while the residual stress of sample B is higher, which may cause deformation or cracks during use.
