The invention relates to a cold
metal transition
electric arc additive manufacturing process matched with a 5R59 aluminum
scandium welding wire, and belongs to the technical field of
electric arc additive manufacturing. The method is characterized in that a 7A52 aluminum
alloy is used as a substrate, a 5R59 aluminum
scandium welding wire is used as a wire material, parameters are set on a CMT
welding power source, and a reciprocating scanning forming path is adopted; protective gas is adopted for protection, the first three
layers are added in a large-current decreasing mode, and when the first three
layers are arranged on the third layer, normal setting parameters are returned to stabilize material adding; and after each layer of additive material is finished, the welding gun is lifted upwards by 1.5-3 mm, after the welding gun stays for 80-100 s, welding of the next layer continues to be conducted on the basis that the additive material layer is finished, and so on until the additive material part is manufactured. The method has the advantages that the additive part is good in
formability and
mechanical property, energy-saving, low in cost, good in appearance forming, tight in layer-to-layer combination and high in
controllability. The
mechanical property of an additive manufacturing structural part based on the process is outstanding, the tensile strength Rm is larger than or equal to 400 MPa, the yield strength Rp0.2 is larger than or equal to 200 MPa, and the
ductility A is larger than or equal to 20%.
