Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of SLM Forming of WE43 Rare Earth Magnesium Alloy

The work aims to get the variation of deformation field and stress distribution during and after the forming process of WE43 magnesium alloy selective laser melting (SLM), and to get the room temperature tensile mechanics model of WE43 in SLM state. The cantilever beam and tensile specimen of WE43 magnesium alloy were prepared by SLM method, and the intrinsic strain model of WE43 magnesium alloy was obtained by matching the height of cantilever buckling after local cutting of cantilever beam with the numerical simulation value, to realize the simulation and deformation prediction of SLM forming process of WE43 magnesium alloy. Tensile test was carried out on WE43 magnesium alloy in SLM state, and microstructure and fracture morphology were observed by metallurgical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The tensile test was simulated by the Normalized Cockcroft & Latham damage model to analyze the tensile process of the SLM state WE43 at room temperature. The tensile strength of WE43 in SLM state at room temperature is 313 MPa, yield strength is 236 MPa, elongation is 7.6%, and there are defects such as irregular holes in the specimen. The intrinsic strain values of WE43 magnesium alloy in the SLM forming process are −0.002 5, −0.002 5 and −0.011 5 for the values of exx, eyy and ezz respectively. The simulation results show that the maximal equivalent force in the forming process of cantilever beam is 12.3 MPa. and the maximum buckling height is 1.99 mm. When the critical damage value of NC&L is 0.1, the simulation of the room temperature tensile process of WE43 is closest to the tensile test results, with a prediction accuracy of 93%.
