The invention discloses a
surface cleaning method for a large complex
magnesium alloy structural part formed through
electric arc additive manufacturing, and belongs to the field of post-treatment of formed structural parts after
electric arc additive manufacturing. The method comprises the following steps that a mechanical arm is adopted to drive a special
wire brush to conduct preliminary mechanical cleaning, and flexible contact is achieved through a
mechanical sensor and a floating clamp; acidic cleaning liquid is sprayed to the surface of the workpiece through an ultrasonic spraying
system, the surface color change is monitored in real time through a high-speed camera so as to control the reaction endpoint, and flushing and
drying are conducted in time; and finally, carrying out fine cleaning under the protection of
argon by adopting large-light-spot
laser with low
power density, and monitoring in real time through a
spectrograph to ensure the cleaning effect. According to the method, the
oxide layer and the pollutants on the surface of the large complex component can be efficiently, losslessly and automatically removed, the problem that the
magnesium alloy WAAM component is difficult to clean due to high
chemical activity and complex structure is solved, and the whole process is
environmentally friendly and controllable.
