Description

Powder spreading quality and scraper abrasion monitoring device and method based on SLM
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of online monitoring of metal additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a monitoring device and method for powder paving quality and scraper abrasion based on an SLM.
Background
The selective laser melting (SLM-Selective Laser Melting) is a widely applied metal additive manufacturing process, and is based on the basic idea of rapid condensation, powder materials are sent to a forming substrate layer by layer, partial melting is realized according to a preset geometric model under the action of laser, rapid solidification is realized under the action of temperature difference, and metal parts with extremely small porosity are formed. The SLM forming breaks through the traditional method that only material reduction forming and equal material forming are performed, an additive manufacturing method is creatively introduced, the forming is rapid, materials are saved, a metallurgical bonding metal entity with the density close to 100% can be obtained, the manufactured part has strong mechanical properties (excellent tensile strength, high forming precision, low surface roughness and the like), and the SLM forming is particularly suitable for products with complex cavity structures and complex shapes which cannot be manufactured by the traditional method. With the continuous development of metal additive manufacturing, people hope to monitor the forming process in real time and observe the appearance and the molten pool condition of the forming process, so that the problem of the printing process is solved in time, and the intelligence and the popularity of the technical method of the additive manufacturing are increased.
The SLM is a repeated process of melting, flowing, solidifying and remelting, before laser working, a powder spreading device flatly pushes metal powder onto a substrate of a forming cylinder, a laser beam melts the powder on the substrate according to slice data of the current layer, the current layer is processed, the powder spreading device continuously spreads the metal powder on the processed current layer, and a uniform and flat powder layer spreading surface is formed. And processing the parts layer by layer until the whole part is manufactured. The whole forming process needs to be carried out for thousands of times of circulating powder laying, and the quality of powder laying is the key of forming reliability and stability. During printing, a non-vertical forming is encountered and the doctor blade will also move the blade in a fixed horizontal direction after each layer of sintering is completed. When the direction of the forming offset of the part is opposite to the moving direction of the doctor blade powder spreading, once the situation that the unstable outermost edge of the part is contacted with the doctor blade occurs, the outer edge of the part is relatively easy to scrape or lift up the upper layer of entity of the part, and the situation is called tilting phenomenon generated by the growth of the opposite doctor blade direction. The warpage cannot be covered by powder carried by the doctor blade when the next layer is paved with powder, and laser can still sweep to the part after the layer is sintered, so that excessive sintering is caused, and partial solid gasification or spheroidization is caused. The tilting and powder spreading device generates scratch and abrades the powder spreading structure, so that the powder spreading quality is affected, the vicious circle is caused, and the processing process is failed.
In addition, the powder spreading device is installed according to manual experience and repeatedly adjusts the forming cylinder by a small distance, spreads powder by moving the scraper, observes the powder spreading condition on the substrate, can observe the metallic luster of the substrate until the thickest place on the substrate, finishes pre-powder spreading, avoids the scratch phenomenon in the moving process of the scraper, and ensures good powder spreading effect. In the forming process, only the quality of powder spreading is observed by human eyes, small defects are difficult to find in time, interference adjustment cannot be performed in time, a machine is damaged due to superposition of time, experimental cost is increased, and powder waste is caused.
The existing industrial camera is fixedly arranged at one position, and monitors the whole powder spreading process and the printing process. However, the camera has the defects of limited observation range, poor pixels and the like, and processing byproducts such as black powder, smoke and the like generated by metal powder under the action of high-energy laser are easy to accumulate at a lens, so that the shooting definition is seriously influenced; moreover, the fixed type camera is mainly fixedly arranged at one place, the position is fixed, the monitoring range is limited, and once the part of the monitoring device with poor powder paving quality is far away, the monitoring device can not monitor in time.
Because the powder layer quality detection result has the defects of great uncertainty, larger information deviation reflected by the powder paving quality and poor controllability, the powder paving quality is effectively and dynamically monitored in real time, high-definition image information is shot, and the problems in the SLM additive manufacturing process are beneficial to tracking and recording.
Aiming at a series of problems existing in the powder paving quality of the SLM powder paving device, the conditions of the related researches and published patent documents are as follows:
patent document CN109570502a discloses a device for detecting powder spreading and part surface quality of SLM equipment, the device comprises a scraper frame with a linear array camera, a scraper structure installed at the bottom of the scraper frame, and an image information control and acquisition system positioned outside a forming chamber, etc., the method is that the linear array camera faces to the bottom of the forming chamber, the scraper scans the view field while spreading powder, and a plurality of data units are acquired, so that high resolution and large format images are obtained, and further detection of powder spreading quality and large format size part surface quality is realized. Although the device and the method disclosed in the patent document CN109570502a solve the problem that the shooting field of view cannot adapt to a large format by adopting a linear array camera, the linear array camera is fixed on the scraper frame, the movement of the camera is limited by the position and the movement of the scraper, accurate judgment of defects and comprehensive detection of powder laying quality are difficult to realize, and the accumulation of powder laying defects in places where the camera cannot scan is easy to cause, so that the problem of overall powder laying influences the forming of parts.
Patent document CN106041076B discloses a monitoring system and a detecting method for uniformity of powder spreading in laser rapid prototyping, the device comprises a laser arranged at the top of a shaping cabin, a high-resolution industrial CCD camera, a lens protecting cover and an LED light supplementing lamp, the method is that the camera acquires image information after powder spreading is completed and transmits the image information to a control system, the control system analyzes and detects the image gray level, if the powder spreading quality is unqualified, the powder spreading device is controlled to spread powder again, and laser sintering shaping is not carried out until the quality is qualified. The device and method disclosed in patent document CN106041076B provide a protective cover for isolating a light filling lamp and a lens to prevent dust during image acquisition of a high resolution industrial CCD camera, so that uniform and smooth detection of powder spreading and outline dimensions of each sintered layer forming part are realized, but the fixed installation of the camera can only detect partial powder spreading condition, more importantly, the unstable movement of the powder spreading device causes shaking of a linear array camera fixed on the device, the obtained image data information has the problems of unilaterality and lower reliability, moreover, the protective cover easily collects dust to cause blurred imaging vision of the camera, and the requirements of real-time detection and improvement of part forming precision are not met.
As known from the above patent documents, no clear and omnibearing detection is reported on a powder spreading layer by a movable camera at present, and the existing protection lens mode of a protection cover and a compensation lamp only detects accurately when processing is started, once dust and black smoke are converged on the protection cover and the compensation lamp, the visibility of the camera is greatly reduced, and the problems of high-precision detection and compensation adjustment of the whole forming process cannot be solved, so that the actual monitoring needs cannot be met.
