AI Technical Summary
Traditional additive manufacturing methods for metal wires suffer from problems such as high heat input, coarse microstructure, high residual stress, and unstable interfacial bonding strength. These issues are particularly problematic in the manufacture of large components, affecting the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the formed parts. Furthermore, nanocomposite modified materials lack sufficient chemical stability at high temperatures, making it difficult to achieve precise control of interfacial resistance.
A solid-state additive manufacturing method for metal wires using alternating contact resistance heating is employed. By coating the surface of the metal wires with cerium-zirconium co-doped yttrium aluminum garnet-titanium nitride nanocomposite modified material, Joule heating generated by alternating current is used for interface heating. Combined with graded temperature control and infrared monitoring, selective fusion and metallurgical bonding at the interface are achieved, and the material is deposited layer by layer to form the final shape.
It significantly reduces heat input, minimizes thermal deformation and residual stress, improves the dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of formed parts, achieves uniform distribution of interfacial resistance and high-temperature stability, and is suitable for near-net-shape forming manufacturing of various alloy systems.
