Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and particularly to a method for regulating heat accumulation in arc additive manufacturing of aluminum alloy based on fuzzy game equilibrium. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of additive manufacturing technology, aluminum alloy has been widely used in the fields of aerospace, automotive manufacturing and high-performance structural component manufacturing due to its excellent specific strength, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. As one of the important metal additive manufacturing paths, arc additive manufacturing technology uses a high-energy-density arc heat source to achieve layer-by-layer deposition forming of metal wire materials, which has the advantages of high forming efficiency, high material utilization rate and low equipment cost. However, due to the high thermal conductivity, large solidification shrinkage rate and extreme sensitivity to heat input of aluminum alloy itself, problems such as uneven heat accumulation, excessive temperature gradient and molten pool instability are extremely likely to occur during the arc additive manufacturing process, which in turn leads to grain coarsening, uneven microstructure, residual stress accumulation and even crack defects, severely restricting the popularization and application of this technology in the manufacturing of high-performance aluminum alloy components.
[0003] In the prior art, researchers generally adopt a constant or preset process parameter control strategy, such as fixed current and voltage, constant wire feeding speed and cooling flow rate, and manage the heat input through limited feedforward temperature control means. However, this type of method often ignores the dynamic coupling relationship between the micro-scale molten pool heat fluctuation and the macro-scale deposition layer heat distribution during the manufacturing process, lacks a response mechanism for multi-scale heat feedback, resulting in the failure to timely reflect the thermal field changes in parameter regulation, and being unable to effectively prevent local heat accumulation and the expansion of interlayer temperature difference. In addition, some studies attempt to introduce a closed-loop feedback control method to drive parameter correction through real-time temperature monitoring, but mostly based on a single control target or a linear regression model, which can only roughly adjust individual variables and is difficult to achieve high-precision control under complex conditions of multi-process parameter coordination and multi-objective conflict regulation.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat regulation method with dynamic response ability, fuzzy reasoning mechanism and cross-scale cooperation strategy to effectively deal with the thermal instability problem in the complex manufacturing process and improve the quality stability and process robustness of arc additive manufacturing of aluminum alloy.

[0095] Embodiment 1:
[0096] From October 2024 to December 2024, an aviation structural parts manufacturer conducted process research and thermal control optimization experiments based on arc additive manufacturing technology for a new generation of lightweight aluminum alloy frame beam components. The frame beam component is a large curved structure with a length of about 850mm and a wall thickness of 5mm. A total of 62 layers need to be deposited. The component is made of 5A06 aluminum alloy wire. This material is prone to local heat accumulation, interlayer grain coarsening and thermal cracks during the arc additive manufacturing process, which directly affects the mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy. It is a typical structure sensitive to thermal accumulation control.
[0097] Under traditional process conditions, the enterprise used a fixed-parameter additive path, setting the arc current at 135 A, the voltage at 21 V, the wire feeding speed at 2.8 mm / s, and the cooling air speed at 10 m / s. During continuous deposition, the system could not sense the evolution of the interlayer temperature, and only relied on preset cooling intervals and thermal imaging manual inspections to control the heat input. However, in multiple test batches, the temperature in the area from the 28th layer to the 40th layer of the component remained above 410 °C for a long time, far exceeding the recommended critical temperature of 385 °C for grain stability of aluminum alloy, resulting in microcracks and arching deformation near the 30th layer, seriously affecting the structural stability.
[0098] To solve this problem, the experimental team introduced the present invention for deployment testing on the actual production line. The system used a high-precision near-field thermocouple matrix (resolution 0.5 mm) to be embedded around the molten pool area, and combined with a FLIR T1040 infrared thermal imaging device to monitor the overall deposition area, collecting micro-scale temperature field and macro-scale temperature field data. When manufacturing each layer, the system obtained the molten pool temperature, average layer temperature, and interlayer temperature difference information in real time at a frequency of 2 Hz, forming a multi-scale thermal feedback data set.
[0099] During the manufacturing process, the system used the constructed micro-scale temperature control sub-game model to adjust the arc current, wire feeding speed, and local cooling. At the same time, it combined with the macro-scale main game model to dynamically optimize the deposition path angle and global cooling strategy, and used a cross-scale coupling scheduler to correct the weights of the control variables. In the critical heat accumulation area from the 29th layer to the 40th layer, the system automatically identified an abnormal state where the interlayer temperature gradient was greater than 3.5 K / mm, and immediately reduced the arc current from 135 A to 121 A, the wire feeding speed from 2.8 mm / s to 2.3 mm / s, while increasing the local cooling air speed to 13.5 m / s, and fine-tuning the deposition path angle to disperse the heat flow direction, controlling the trend of total heat accumulation.
[0100] Under the action of the thermal control strategy, the average temperature of the component from the 30th layer to the 40th layer was maintained at about 376 °C, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of local grain coarsening. The surface size deviation of the final product structure was controlled within ±0.18 mm, the maximum interlayer thermal gradient was 3.1 K / mm, significantly lower than 4.9 K / mm under the traditional process, and there were no crack defects in the X-ray inspection, meeting the aviation structure certification standards.
[0101] To verify the performance improvement of the method of the present invention, the project team compared 10 components manufactured by the traditional method with 10 components manufactured by the method of the present invention.

[0106] The present invention introduces a hierarchical fuzzy game modeling mechanism driven by multi-scale thermal feedback to realize the collaborative regulation and feedback closed-loop update of local-global thermal behavior. By constructing a unified multi-scale thermal feedback data set and establishing a hierarchical fuzzy game model including a micro-scale temperature control sub-game model and a macro-scale thermal equilibrium main game model, the dynamic change law from micro-local thermal perturbation to overall temperature distribution can be captured and expressed in real time, significantly enhancing the system's response ability to thermal anomalies. In the model structure, the control quantities are mutually induced and adjusted between different scales through a cross-scale coupling scheduler, thus establishing a multi-layer game feedback control closed-loop with self-adaptability.
[0107] The present invention constructs a fuzzy control cost function driven by micro-scale temperature deviation and macro-scale temperature gradient, introduces a fuzzy membership function set in multi-variable regulation to perform weighted penalty and fuzzy evaluation on the regulation cost, effectively coordinates the mutual restraint relationship among parameters such as arc current, wire feeding speed, and cooling flow rate. By constructing a joint optimization target and introducing a fuzzy game equilibrium solution solving strategy, the system can achieve a global optimal regulation point between production efficiency and thermal equilibrium quality, significantly improving the parameter coordination ability.
[0108] The present invention formulates strategy output rules under three types of working conditions according to different thermal field states (local overheating, excessive interlayer thermal gradient, or both occurring simultaneously) during the manufacturing process, combined with the real-time numerical values of key indicators in the thermal feedback state vector, and forms a feedback regulation strategy set to guide the dynamic adjustment of the manufacturing parameters of the current layer. This mechanism not only realizes the intra-layer optimal output of process parameters, but also supports the inheritance and model update of subsequent layer strategies through the accumulation of manufacturing history data and regulation records, and has good transferability and process memory, providing stable support for the thermal control quality of aluminum alloy component manufacturing.
