The invention provides a preparation method of an
electric arc additive of a 7-series aluminum
alloy. A 7-series aluminum
alloy electric arc additive manufacturing method comprises the steps that after overall modeling is conducted on a component, layered
slicing is conducted, and a forming track is planned; cleaning the surface of the substrate; arc additive manufacturing is conducted in a cold
metal transition mode, the current ranges from 80 A to 90 A, the
voltage ranges from 9 V to 10 V, the wire feeding speed ranges from 5.5 m / min to 6.5 m / min, and adopted protective gas comprises, by
volume fraction, 40-50 parts of Ar and 50-60 parts of He; after printing is completed,
solid solution heat treatment is carried out, and then water
quenching is carried out immediately; and the quenched component is subjected to aging heat treatment. According to the
electric arc additive manufacturing process, variable polarity cold
metal transition electric arc additive manufacturing is adopted, the 7-series aluminum
alloy wires with low Ti, Zr and Sc contents and process parameters with low heat input quantity are selected, no auxiliary device needs to be additionally arranged, and the high-quality aluminum alloy component is obtained.
