基于覆膜砂激光快速成型的无模快速铸造方法研究

用激光扫描覆膜砂,当激光功率足够大时,覆膜砂的树脂膜会发生过烧和炭化而失去粘结作用。利用此特点,本文提出一种以激光扫描零件轮廓边界为基础的直接生成铸型的方法:用大功率激光逐层扫描出零件各层的轮廓边,相当于在覆膜砂上扫描出目标模型与砂型的分割面,对砂箱整体进行加热固化后,可得到三维的目标模型和砂型。本文给出了由此方法实现快速铸造的工艺方案,并进一步实现了金属零件的快速铸造。该方法有别于SLS工艺的面域扫描,具有分层简单、成型时间短、速度快、成型件强度高的特点,实现了铸造零件CAD/CAM的计算机集成制造,对缩短新产品开发周期和降低成本具有重要的意义。

Effects of process parameters on dimensional precision and tensile strength of wax patterns for investment casting by selective laser sintering

Turbine blades, produced by the directional solidification(DS) process, often require high dimensional accuracy and excellent mechanical properties. A critical step in their production is the fabrication of wax patterns. However, the traditional manufacturing process has many disadvantages, such as long-term production, low material utilization rate, and the high cost of producing a complex-shaped wax pattern. Selective laser sintering(SLS) is one of the most extensively used additive manufacturing techniques that substantially shortens the production cycle. In this study, SLS was adopted to fabricate the wax pattern instead of the traditional manufacturing process. The orthogonal experiment method was carried out to investigate the effects of laser power, scanning speed, scanning space, and layer thickness on the dimensional precision and morphologies of the SLS parts. The SLS parts showed a minimum dimensional deviation when laser power, scanning speed, scanning space, and layer thickness were 10 W, 3000 mm·s-1, 0.18 mm, and 0.25 mm, respectively. In addition, the tensile strength and fracture morphologies were closely associated with the laser volumetric energy density(VED). The tensile strength reached a maximum when the VED was 0.0762 J·mm-3, with an evident brittle fracture morphology. The wax pattern manufactured in this way meets the accuracy and strength requirements for investment casting. This research offers a novel path for the production of wax patterns for complex-shaped turbine blades by SLS.

Titanium castings using laser-scanned data and selective laser-sintered zirconia molds

Titanium casting molds, made of stabilized and unstabilized zirconium oxide, were created using a combination of selective laser sintering (SLS) and colloidal infiltration. The mold material system was chosen for its thermal shock resistance and low reactivity with molten titanium. The starting material, stabilized zirconia powder mixed with a copolymer binder, was laser sintered into the desired green shape. The binder was removed during pyrolysis and replaced by unstabilized zirconia. As infiltrant weight gain increased, the density, flexural strength, and surface roughness improved to levels adequate for titanium casting trials. A half-scale casting mold for the ball of a human femur bone was produced from laser-scanned data and cast with Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The castings exhibited an as-cast surface roughness (R _a ) of 8 μm and a typical microstructure. This work demonstrates a feasible method of producing complex titanium castings for one-of-a-kind and custom components without the necessity of part-specific tooling or wax patterns.

Casting of microstructured shark skin surfaces and possible applications on aluminum casting parts

Within the project "Functional Surfaces via Micro-and Nanoscaled Structures" which is part of the Cluster of Excellence "Integrative Production Technology" established and financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG),an investment casting process to produce 3-dimensional functional surfaces down to a structural size of 1μm on near-net-shape-casting parts has been developed.The common way to realize functional microstructures on metallic surfaces is to use laser ablation,electro discharge machining or micro milling.The handicap of these processes is their limited productivity.The approach of this project to raise the efficiency is to use the investment casting process to replicate microstructured surfaces by moulding from a laser-microstructured grand master pattern.The main research objective deals with the investigation of the single process steps of the investment casting process with regard to the moulding accuracy.Actual results concerning making of the wax pattern,suitability of ceramic mould and core materials for casting of an AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy as well as the knock-out behavior of the shells are presented.By using of the example of an intake manifold of a gasoline race car engine,a technical shark skin surface has been realized to reduce the drag of the intake air.The intake manifold consists of an air-restrictor with a defined inner diameter which is microstructured with technical shark skin riblets.For this reason the inner diameter cannot be drilled after casting and demands a very high accuracy of the casting part.A technology for the fabrication and demoulding of accurate microstructured castings are shown.Shrinkage factors of different moulding steps of the macroscopic casting part as well as the microscopic riblet structure have been examined as well.
