The invention discloses a method suitable for improving the structure uniformity of an AZ-series
magnesium alloy manufactured through an
electric arc additive. The method comprises the steps that firstly, a hot-rolled AZ31 plate is selected as a base plate; 2, performing three-
dimensional modeling and
slicing treatment according to a target
magnesium alloy workpiece, and designing a deposition path; 3, preheating the substrate, adjusting the distance between the
electrode and the substrate, and introducing protective gas; and fourthly, according to the deposition path,
electric arc additive manufacturing is conducted in an inner layer rotating deposition mode, and the AZ series
magnesium alloy workpiece is obtained.
Plasma arc welding is used as a heat source, the preparation speed is high, heat
input control is accurate, the arc stiffness is good, splashing is effectively reduced, and the workpiece
formability is good; a rotary deposition mode is adopted, thermal circulation is effectively controlled,
abnormal structure growth is avoided, meanwhile, the means of interlayer hammering deformation is assisted, a deposition interface is optimized, the obtained AZ series
magnesium alloy workpiece is uniform in structure, fine in grain, few in defect and excellent in strength and
plasticity, and the process is simple and easy to popularize.
