The invention discloses a
selective laser melting device and a preparation method for a
gradient material. The device is provided with 2-5
raw material bins, and each
raw material bin, a
powder mixingroom, a
powder storage bin, a
powder dropper and a control valve define a powder feeding
system with 2-5 channels, and an outlet of the powder storage bin communicates with an inlet of the powder dropper.
Alloy powder needed for each slice layer is mixed in proportion, and is printed and formed through processes of
raw material bin powder-feeding, mixing room powder-mixing, powder storage bin powder storage and powder dropper powder-dropping, so that preparation for the
gradient material with components continuously changing in a vertical direction is realized; and the obtained formed part issmoothly transited in component and texture in
macro-scale, so that component and performance
mutation caused by metallurgical bonding, formed by layer-by-layer alternated printing of various powderin the prior art, of
molten pool scale are eliminated, and therefore, integrated integral manufacturing of
structure and function is realized. Uniform transition performance indexes in space scale canavoid the problems of discordant deformation and
stress concentration, so that using performance of the formed part is favorably improved.
