High-efficiency high-quality multi-wire multi-arc additive manufacturing device and method for ultrasonic vibration wire
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency high-quality multi-wire multi-arc additive manufacturing device and method for ultrasonic vibration wires.
Background
The additive manufacturing is a modern manufacturing process method for forming a product by establishing a digital model and accumulating materials from bottom to top, and mainly comprises laser, electron beam, electric arc additive manufacturing and the like according to different metal additive manufacturing of a heat source. Has the natural advantages of high deposition efficiency and low cost.
Compared with single-wire arc material increase, multi-wire arc material increase can further improve deposition efficiency to achieve the purpose of rapid prototyping, and Chinese patent with the patent application number of CN202310577473.X discloses an arc material increase multi-wire feeding device and a using method, and various wires with different types and diameters can be fed through the device at the same time, so that the material increase efficiency is effectively improved.
However, the improvement of the multi-wire multi-arc additive efficiency is accompanied by the increase of heat input, and the excessive heat input can cause defects of coarse structural grains, stress deformation and the like of a formed part, so that the anisotropy of the material is caused, the mechanical property of a component is reduced, and the application and popularization of the multi-wire arc additive manufacturing technology are limited. In order to reduce heat input, the common method is pulse arc, externally applied cooling, low-temperature gas introduction, wire feeding and the like, and compared with other methods for reducing heat input, the wire feeding is more convenient to apply, and the deposition efficiency can be improved while the heat input is reduced. To further refine the grains and improve their performance, ultrasound field assistance is introduced herein. At present, the ultrasonic-assisted arc additive manufacturing is mainly divided into two types, namely, ultrasonic vibration action is used on a substrate or a deposition layer, and ultrasonic vibration action is used on a wire or a molten pool. The former has disadvantages in that the range and intensity of the ultrasonic vibration are affected by factors such as the shape, size, thickness, surface roughness, etc. of the substrate or the deposition layer, and the direction of the ultrasonic vibration is inconsistent with the moving direction of the molten pool, which may result in uniform action of the molten pool, and the latter has disadvantages in that the range and intensity of the ultrasonic vibration are affected by factors such as the diameter, material, feeding speed, etc. of the wire, and the ultrasonic vibration may affect the conveyance of the wire and the transition of the molten drop. The ultrasonic device applies a certain pressure to bear on the deposition layer, but the surface of the deposition layer is not necessarily smooth and flat enough, so that ultrasonic energy loss is caused by overlarge friction. In summary, the prior art remains to be solved.
