Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an additive manufacturing gas protective cover, belonging to the field of additive manufacturing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Arc additive manufacturing technology is an effective and rapid method for manufacturing alloy parts. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, this technology offers flexible production and is suitable for various production needs, such as producing high-precision parts and rapid prototyping. During the additive manufacturing process, due to the active chemical properties of alloys such as magnesium, titanium, and aluminum, coupled with their low melting points and high oxidizability in the liquid state, the surface of the alloy molten pool is easily oxidized and contaminated, and oxides easily accumulate inside, affecting its mechanical properties. Patent CN109909592A, entitled "An Adjustable Trailing Gas Shield for Arc Additive Manufacturing and Its Usage Method," discloses a method that uses an outer shield outside the inner shield to maintain the active metal in a protective gas environment as the welding torch moves away from its surface. This maintains the stability of the arc and molten pool, prevents oxidation of titanium and aluminum during the additive manufacturing process, and improves the quality of the deposited metal. However, the shielding gas is supplied from top to bottom, failing to effectively protect the sides, thus affecting the mechanical properties of the alloy parts.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a modular additive manufacturing gas shield with replaceable side panels to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
