A rapid prototyping device for metal components

Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid metal component forming device, belonging to the technical field of metallurgy. The rapid metal component forming device comprises a power supply, a consumable electrode, a refiner and an additive manufacturing mechanism connected with a computer, wherein the additive manufacturing mechanism is used for 3D printing out the shell of a metal component on a bearing plate; the lower end of the refiner faces to the inner part of the shell of the metal component, and the refiner is filled with refining slag; the consumable electrode is positioned above the refiner, and the lower end of the consumable electrode extends into the refining slag in the refiner; one end of the power supply is connected with the consumable electrode, and the other end of the power supply is connected with the bearing plate. The rapid metal component forming device aims to overcome the defects of low efficiency and low quality of the current rapid forming technology during forming large-size structural components, combines the advantages of the rapid forming process and a special metallurgical technology, and can significantly improve the production efficiency and product quality of rapid forming of large-size metal components.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and more specifically relates to a rapid prototyping device for metal components, which is suitable for component manufacturing of iron and steel materials and other metal materials. Background technique [0002] At present, the technologies that can directly obtain irregular parts are mainly casting technology and rapid prototyping technology. Casting technology has been developed for a long time, and molten steel can be directly formed, but the production efficiency is too low, so it is suitable for the manufacture of complex parts. Rapid prototyping technology is a new processing technology that appeared in the late 1980s. It integrates the latest achievements in the fields of modern numerical control technology, CAD / CAM technology and material science, and can automatically and quickly transform design concepts into Prototype parts with certain structures and functions or directly manufac...
