  • Publication number: 20230147322
    Abstract: A method for prefabricating a poor fusion defect by controlling a LMD process, including: obtaining a model, with a shaping zone and a defect prefabricated zone that has a preset defect; and performing a layerwise slicing process on the model. For each deposition layer of the defect prefabricated zone, the preset defect has a maximum dimension a0 in a perpendicular direction; for the shaping zone, performing a shaping process under predetermined shaping process parameters of the LMD process; and for the defect prefabricated zone, controlling shaping process parameters as follows: when a0<D, with respect to the shaping zone, changing a scan pitch between shaping paths and a powder feed rate in the deposition layer, thereby prefabricating the poor fusion defect; and when a0?D, with respect to the shaping zone.
