The invention provides an ultrasonic and micro-
forging composite device for improving the
microstructure and performance of additively manufactured
metal and an additive manufacturing method. The ultrasonic and micro-
forging composite device comprises an
energy converter, a pneumatic slider, a pneumatic slider connection frame, an amplitude
transformer, a tool head and a roller. The
energy converter is arranged in an
energy converter shell, the energy converter shell is provided with an inserting piece and a pipeline connector, the amplitude
transformer is connected to the lower end of the energy converter, the tool head is connected below the energy converter, the roller is located between the tool head and a workpiece, and the pneumatic slider is connected with the energy converter shell and the amplitude
transformer through the pneumatic slider connection frame. By means of the ultrasonic and micro-
forging composite device, the advantages that ultrasonic
impact frequency is high and deformation generated by mechanical rolling is large are combined, the
composite effect of ultrasonic
impact and
continuous rolling micro-forging can be achieved, and the purpose of improving the
microstructure of the additively manufactured
metal and the mechanical performance of parts is achieved. Through organic combination of the ultrasonic and micro-forging composite device and the additive manufacturing method with an existing additive
manufacturing technology, the technical
bottleneck that
structure control is easy while
performance control is difficult in existing
metal additive manufacturing is solved, and innovation and development of metal rapid forming and manufacturing technologies are induced.
