  • Publication number: 20210129214
    Abstract: A metal additive manufacturing device is disclosed herein. The wire feeding mechanism in the protective bin can convey metal wires towards the substrate, the working medium filtration and circulation module conveys working mediums into the protective bin and discharges working mediums, the working medium between the metal wire and the substrate or between two metal wires is broken down, and plasma is generated and maintained; and under the action of high temperature of the plasma, the metal wires quickly melt to form the metal droplets. The rotating shaft drives the rotating arm to rotate. The working bin modules are disposed at both ends of the rotating arm. The droplets formed by the melting of the metal wires fly away from a melting area under the action of a centrifugal force, and the droplets reach the substrate or the surface of a machined workpiece, cool and solidify, and crystallize.

  • Patent number: 10646940
    Abstract: A machining method for three-dimensional open flow channel using high-speed arc discharge layered sweep, which arranges an axial line of an installation shaft of a tool electrode with six degrees of freedom to be perpendicular to an axial line of a to-be machined work piece in an arc discharge process, with the tool electrode sweeping in a closed path in a plane or a curved surface perpendicular to the installation shaft, wherein the path of the sweeping satisfies: a space of an enveloped space being formed by the tool electrode moving in the path and being coincident with a removed portion of the work piece does not exceed a preset machined cavity of the flow channel. The present invention is based on high-speed arc discharge of hydrodynamic arc breaking and realized layered milling and surface machining for three-dimensional open flow channels.
