The invention relates to a density improving method for an additive manufacturing
metal material. The density improving method comprises the steps that
metal powder with performance parameters meeting printing requirements is screened out; establishing a to-be-formed part model, and performing
slicing treatment and path planning; determining a first range of the depth of the
molten pool according to a relational expression among the layer
cutting thickness, the actual
powder laying thickness and the depth of the
molten pool; determining a second range of the depth of the
molten pool according to a calculation formula between the
lap joint rate and the depth of the molten
pool; the intersection of the two ranges of the molten
pool depth is obtained to obtain a third range, namely the final molten
pool depth range; determining a scanning melting process parameter range according to the third range; and selective melting forming is conducted. According to the method, control over the
powder performance is matched with process parameters, the depth range of the molten pool is determined according to the
cutting layer thickness, the actual powder laying thickness and the relational expression between the
lap joint rate and the depth of the molten pool, then scanning melting process parameters are determined according to the depth range of the molten pool, and the additive manufacturing
metal component which is compact in interior and fine and uniform in microscopic structure is obtained.
