The invention discloses additive manufacturing equipment for magnetic confinement
processing of an overhanging structural part and a method. The additive manufacturing equipment comprises a 3D printing device, and an external
magnetic field generating device and a
molten pool morphology online monitoring device are installed on the two sides of a
spray nozzle of the 3D printing device, the output of the
molten pool morphology online monitoring device is connected with the input of a central
control system, the output of the central
control system is connected with the control input of the external
magnetic field generating device through a
magnetic field control system, the
molten pool morphology online monitoring device monitors molten
pool morphology characteristics and transmits information to the central control
system in real time, the central control
system analyzes and compares the morphology with an ideal molten
pool morphology, adjusts parameters in real time and transmits an adjustment instruction to the magnetic field control
system, the magnetic field control system executes the instruction and changes the magnitude and direction of current in the external magnetic field generating device, and the external magnetic field generating device applies a local magnetic field to constrain the molten
pool morphology, provides
magnetic pressure to promote interlayer bonding, and meanwhile stirs a molten pool. According to the additive manufacturing equipment for magnetic confinement
processing of the overhanging structural part and the method, the additive manufacturing cost is reduced, the interlayer
bonding strength is improved, and the forming quality and the forming precision are improved.
