Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology, and in particular to a multi-wavelength beam collaborative additive molding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] SLM (Surface Mount Laser) printing is a major technique in additive manufacturing of metal materials. This technology uses a laser as its energy source, scanning layer by layer through a metal powder bed according to a pre-planned path in a 3D CAD slicing model. The scanned metal powder melts and solidifies to achieve a metallurgical bond, ultimately producing the metal part designed in the model.

[0003] SLM technology overcomes the challenges of manufacturing metal parts with complex shapes using traditional techniques. SLM-formed parts have a density comparable to castings and forgings, while their hardness and strength are higher than castings and comparable to forgings.

[0004] During the SLM process, the Gaussian beam of infrared light has high penetrability. During the rapid melting of powder, problems such as spatter and keyholes are easily generated in the molten pool. The large temperature gradient between layers leads to the formation of coarse dendrites with epitaxial growth. The longitudinal section of the SLM-formed part has a strong preferred orientation, mainly small-angle grain boundaries, indicating that there is significant texture and a large number of large columnar crystals growing along the printing (temperature gradient) direction. There is also often obvious unmelted powder in the SLM-formed part. These problems result in lower overall mechanical properties (mainly toughness and elongation) and lower fatigue performance of the SLM-formed part, resulting in a shorter service life than castings and forgings.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Example: A multi-wavelength beam collaborative additive manufacturing equipment includes a forming chamber 1, a composite laser emitting device, and a control system. The composite laser emitting device includes a continuous laser generator 42, a pulsed laser generator 43, and a femtosecond laser generator 44. The continuous laser generator 42 can emit a continuous red laser beam 2 towards the powder field on the working plane of the forming chamber 1 to melt the powder 40 and form a molten pool. The pulsed laser generator 43 can emit a green or blue pulsed laser beam 3 towards the molten pool of the powder field to achieve post-processing of the molten pool. The femtosecond laser generator 44 can emit a femtosecond laser beam 4 to cut and shape the contour of the formed part 5. The control system can control the start and stop of the continuous laser generator 42, the pulsed laser generator 43, and the femtosecond laser generator 44.

[0031] During the printing process, a red laser beam 2 is emitted from a continuous laser generator 42 toward the powder field to melt the powder 40 and form a molten pool, serving as the main melting and forming laser. Simultaneously, a green or blue pulsed laser beam 3 is emitted from a pulsed laser generator 43 toward the molten pool to stir the solidifying molten pool, breaking the coarse dendrites in the molten pool into fine equiaxed crystals, reducing cracks and pores in the formed part 5. The green or blue pulsed laser beam also enables micro-forging of the molten pool at high temperatures, which can improve the elongation and fatigue resistance of the formed part 5. The formed part 5 is melted and formed by the synergistic action of the red laser beam 2 and the green or blue pulsed laser beam. After forming, the femtosecond laser generator 44 can emit a femtosecond laser beam 4 to cut the contour of the current layer of the formed part 5, achieving in-situ precision shaping.

[0032] The above-mentioned printing equipment effectively solved the problems of keyholes and spatter in the SLM molded part 5, greatly improved the elongation and fatigue strength of the SLM molded part 5, fully enhanced the comprehensive performance of the molded part 5, and ensured the dimensional accuracy and aesthetic appearance of the molded part 5.

[0033] The continuous laser generating device 42 includes a red laser 6, a first collimation module 7, a first scanning galvanometer 8, and a first field mirror 9. The red laser 6 can emit a red laser beam 2, the first collimation module 7 can collimate the red laser beam 2, and the first scanning galvanometer 8 and the first field mirror 9 can focus the collimated red laser beam 2 on the forming position on the powder field surface to melt and form the powder 40.

[0034] The pulsed laser generating device 43 includes a green or blue laser 10, a second collimation module 11, a second scanning galvanometer 12, and a second field mirror 13. The green or blue laser 10 can emit a green or blue pulsed laser beam 3. The second collimation module 11 can collimate the green or blue pulsed laser beam. The second scanning galvanometer 12 and the second field mirror 13 can focus the collimated green or blue pulsed laser beam onto the molten pool position on the powder field surface to break up dendrites in the molten pool.

[0035] The femtosecond laser generator 44 includes an ultrashort pulse laser 14, a third collimation module 15, a third scanning galvanometer 16, and a third field mirror 17. The ultrashort pulse laser 14 can emit a femtosecond laser beam 4 (ultrashort pulse laser beam). The third collimation module 15 can collimate the femtosecond laser beam 4 (ultrashort pulse laser beam). The third scanning galvanometer 16 and the third field mirror 17 can focus the collimated femtosecond laser beam 4 (ultrashort pulse laser beam) onto the inner and outer contours of the current layer of the formed part 5. The femtosecond laser beam 4 uses a non-thermal ablation mechanism to perform in-situ cutting and precise shaping of the inner and outer contours of the current layer of the formed part 5.

[0036] The red laser emitted by the red laser 6 is collimated and focused towards a designated position in the powder field to melt the powder 40 at that position. The green or blue laser is collimated and focused towards the molten pool position in the powder field to break up the coarse dendrites in the molten pool. The femtosecond laser emitted by the ultrashort pulse laser 14 is collimated and focused towards the inner and outer contour positions of the current layer of the formed part 5, thereby refining the contour of the formed part 5 in the current layer, removing burrs and other edge marks, and ensuring that the external dimensions of the formed part 5 have ultra-high precision.

[0037] The continuous laser generating device 42 also includes a dynamic beam shaping module 18, which can shape a Gaussian beam into a uniform ring beam, flat-top beam, or Bessel beam using diffractive optical elements or a biconical prism. The dynamic beam shaping module 18 uses a diffractive ring laser beam generator to shape the red light from the fiber laser, or uses a non-diffractive biconical prism to optimize the energy distribution of the Gaussian beam into a uniform ring beam, flat-top beam, or Bessel beam, thereby effectively reducing molten pool spatter and keyhole defects, reducing residual stress within the formed part 5, and improving the forming quality.

[0038] The red laser beam 2 has a wavelength of 1064 nm, the green or blue laser beam has a wavelength of 400-532 nm, and the femtosecond laser beam 4 is an ultrashort pulse laser beam with a wavelength of 780-2526 nm (preferably 1064 nm) and a pulse width of <50 f. The continuous laser generator 42 and the pulsed laser generator 43 are arranged horizontally in a flat manner on the top of the forming chamber 1, or in a staggered, stepped arrangement. The arrangement of the continuous laser generator 42, the pulsed laser generator 43, and the femtosecond laser generator 44 on the top of the forming chamber 1 can be determined according to the available space at the top of the forming chamber 1.

[0039] The upper surface of the bottom plate of the forming chamber 1 is a working plane. The bottom plate of the forming chamber 1 is provided with a mounting port for a forming cylinder 19, and also provides a forming cylinder 19 and a powder spreading device 20. The upper end of the cylinder body of the forming cylinder 19 can be sealed and installed in the mounting port of the forming cylinder 19. The upper end face of the cylinder body of the forming cylinder 19 is horizontally aligned with the working plane. The piston 21 of the forming cylinder is provided with a substrate heating system 22. The forming substrate 23 is placed on the substrate heating system 22 in a circumferential direction. The substrate heating system 22 can intelligently heat the forming substrate 23 based on temperature control technology to maintain its temperature within a set temperature range. The powder spreading device 20 can spread powder 40 in the forming cylinder 19 and ensure that the powder 40 is horizontally aligned with the working plane to form a powder field. The control system controls the lifting and lowering movement of the piston 21 of the forming cylinder, the intermittent powder spreading by the powder spreading device 20, and the constant temperature heating of the forming substrate 23 by the substrate heating system 22.

[0040] A high-efficiency substrate heating system 22 (>350℃) based on temperature control technology was developed for medium-sized SLM equipment. By combining multi-physics fields and simulating and optimizing the thermal field distribution, the metallurgical defects caused by insufficient thermal field in traditional equipment are solved, the forming quality and process stability of high melting point metals are improved, and the stable operation of the whole machine is guaranteed.

[0041] The forming cylinder 19 includes a hot cylinder 24, a cold cylinder 25, and a heat insulation ring 26. The hot cylinder 24, the heat insulation ring 26 made of heat insulation material, and the cold cylinder 25 are fixedly connected from top to bottom to form an integral structure. The piston 21 of the forming cylinder is always located inside the cold cylinder 25. The substrate heating system 22 includes a self-stacked heating base plate 27, an upper cooling base plate 28, an upper heat insulation base plate 29, a connecting block 30, a lower heat insulation base plate 31, and a lower cooling base plate 32. Several heating rods 33 are evenly distributed in an array inside the heating base plate 27. Each heating rod 33 can heat the forming substrate 23 simultaneously. The upper cooling base plate 28 and the lower cooling base plate 32 are equipped with... A cooling circulation water channel 34 is provided, which can rapidly cool the upper cooling base plate 28 and the lower cooling base plate 32. The upper heat insulation base plate 29, made of heat insulation material, can insulate the upper cooling base plate 28 and the upper end of the connecting block 30. The lower heat insulation base plate 31, made of heat insulation material, can insulate the lower end of the connecting block 30 and the lower cooling base plate 32. A powder sealing ring 35 and a gas sealing ring 36 are respectively installed on the upper cooling base plate 28 and the outer circumferential wall of the piston. The powder sealing ring 35 can prevent the powder 40 on the forming substrate 23 from leaking downwards. The gas sealing ring 36 can prevent the inert gas in the forming chamber 1 from leaking outwards along the forming cylinder 19.

[0042] The heating rods 33 on the heating base plate 27 can quickly heat the forming substrate 23. The heating rods 33 are evenly distributed in an array to ensure rapid and uniform heating, so that the powder 40 in the forming cylinder 19 is kept in a suitable temperature range and the thermal field is optimized. At the same time, the upper cooling base plate 28 and the upper heat insulation base plate 29 initially reduce the downward conduction of heat to avoid the connecting block 30 from overheating. Then, the lower heat insulation base plate 31 and the lower cooling base plate 32 further cool down the heat to prevent the heat from being transferred to the piston and affecting the piston performance and service life. By installing a powder sealing ring 35 on the side wall of the upper cooling base plate 28, the powder 40 inside the upper end of the forming cylinder 19 is sealed and blocked, preventing it from leaking downwards. By installing a gas sealing ring 36 on the side wall of the lower cooling base plate 32, the inert gas inside the forming chamber 1 is sealed, preventing it from leaking outwards and also preventing outside air from entering the forming chamber 1, ensuring the quality of the formed part 5 and preventing explosions. Both the powder sealing ring 35 and the gas sealing ring 36 are installed on the cooling base plate, which can prevent them from failing due to high temperature. The cylinder body of the forming cylinder 19 is composed of a hot cylinder body 24, a cold cylinder body 25 and a heat insulation ring 26, so that the piston always operates in a low temperature environment. The heat in the hot field is transferred downwards to the piston through the cylinder body of the forming cylinder 19, and the upper end of the forming cylinder 19 is prevented from affecting the temperature in the hot field due to heat transfer. In order to keep the hot cylinder body 24 warm, heat insulation material can also be covered on the outside of the hot cylinder body 24 to prevent the heat in the hot field from dissipating outwards.

[0043] The heating base plate 27 is also equipped with a temperature sensor, which can sense the temperature of the forming substrate 23 in real time. The temperature sensor can transmit its sensing signal to the control system, which controls the heating rod 33 to start or stop or adjust the heating efficiency of the heating rod 33. By using the temperature sensor to sense the temperature of the forming substrate 23 in real time, the temperature of the upper thermal field of the forming cylinder 19 is kept stable, preferably fluctuating within ±5 degrees, avoiding excessively high or low temperatures and creating a constant temperature effect.

[0044] The forming chamber 1 is provided with an air inlet 37 and an air outlet 38 on its two opposite side walls. Inert gas can enter the forming chamber 1 through the air inlet 37 and carry away the dust in the forming chamber 1 through the air outlet 38. The bottom plate of the forming chamber 1 is provided with two recycling cylinder 39 mounting ports. The two recycling cylinder 39 mounting ports are located on both sides of the forming cylinder 19 mounting port along the movement direction of the powder spreading device 20. The recycling cylinder 39 can be sealed and installed in the two recycling cylinder 39 mounting ports. During the reciprocating movement of the powder spreading device 20, excess powder 40 can be scraped into the recycling cylinder 39 for storage. The piston of the recycling cylinder 39 can move up and down to adjust the powder holding space.

[0045] The powder spreading device 20 generally includes a powder spreading box, a movable powder box, and a scraper 41. The powder spreading box is used to store a large amount of powder 40. The movable powder box is moved to connect with or close the powder spreading box to achieve quantitative feeding. The scraper moves left and right on the working plane to scrape the powder, so that the powder 40 is spread in the forming cylinder 19 according to the designed thickness. Excess powder 40 enters the recycling cylinder 39 for recycling to prevent the excess powder 40 from being scattered by the wind in the forming chamber 1 and to avoid affecting the normal melting and forming of the powder field.

[0046] A multi-wavelength beam collaborative additive manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: A molten pool is formed by melting the powder field in forming chamber 1 using a continuous red laser beam with a wavelength of 1064nm;

[0048] Step 2: Use a green or blue pulsed laser beam with a wavelength of 400-532nm to break up dendrites in the semi-molten pool in situ to form equiaxed crystals, thereby increasing the proportion of equiaxed crystals in the molten pool.

[0049] Step 3: The contour of the current layer of the forming part 5 is cut and shaped by a femtosecond laser beam 4 with a wavelength of 780-2526nm. The wavelength of the femtosecond laser beam 4 is preferably 1064nm.

[0050] When the powder field is melted and formed by the red continuous laser beam and the green or blue pulsed laser beam, the forming substrate 23, which is in direct contact with the forming part 5, is heated by the substrate heating system 22 to keep the forming substrate 23 in a constant temperature range of >350°C.
