Droplet-targeting laser hybrid indirect arc for additive manufacturing technology-A preliminary study

对制造精度和效率相矛盾的原因进行了分析,为解决此矛盾,提出了一种新型的熔滴主动靶向的激光间接电弧复合增材制造技术.该技术利用交流双丝间接电弧能量熔化金属丝材实现高熔敷率,利用熔滴主动靶向激光,脉冲激光辅助定量的熔滴定点过渡到熔池保证成形精度.文中对固定质量的熔滴交替形成在固定位置进行了建模分析和初步试验研究,结果表明,通过控制送丝速度和电流频率,可实现双丝交替定点定量熔化,为熔滴主动靶向激光提供了先决条件.

The contradiction between manufacturing accuracy and manufacturing efficiency is discussed in this paper.In order to solve this problem,a novel droplet-targeting laser hybrid indirect arc for additive manufacturing technology is proposed in which a couple of wires are melted using the alternating current with interwire indirect arc to achieve high deposition rate.On the other hand,droplets actively target the laser beam and detach from wire tip under the recoil pressure subjected to pulsed laser irradiating at desired position and with controlled mass for a precise bead forming.The process of alternative droplet growing at desired position are mathematically analyzed and then preliminary verified by experiment.By precisely controlling the wire feed speed and current frequency,the melting processat desired position and mass of wire is successfully obtained which is the fundamental for next-step for the droplet actively targeting laser.
