Based on the research of laser heating property, powder thermal physics parameters and laser sintering process, a numerical model of the temperature field during length-alterable line-scanning and laser sintering of polymer-coated molybdenum powder was presented. Finite element method (FEM) was used to simulate the temperature field during laser sintering process. In order to verify the simulated results, a measuring system was developed to study the laser sintering temperature field. Infrared meter was introduced to measure the surface temperature of sintering powder; the temperature of its inside part was measured by thermocouple. The measured results were compared with the numerical simulation results; the conformity between them is good and the relative error is less than 5%.展开更多

The laser sintering experiments of polymer-coated molybdenum powder were conducted by using the self-developed selective laser sintering machine (HLRP-350I). The method of microscopic analysis was used to investigate the dynamic laser sintering process of polymer-coated molybdenum powder. Based on the study, the laser sintering mechanisms of polymer-coated molybdenum powder were presented. It is found that the mechanism is viscous flow when the laser sintering temperature is between 100 ℃ and 160 ℃, which can be described by a two-sphere model; and the mechanism is melting /solidification when the temperature is above 160 ℃.展开更多

In China, the consumption of the MoSi2 heating element continues to increase with development and upgrading of industries. However, the MoSi2 heating element .from local manufacturers still has poor quality and thus results in waste of precious molybdenum resource. In this review, the recent research results of production process of MoSi2 heating elements were briefly summarized. The purity and particle size distribution of starting MoSi2 powder as well as the mixing and sintering processes were identified as major impact fators on the performance of MoSi2 heating elements. This review points out the improving direction for local MoSi2 heating elements.展开更多
