航空发动机叶片电弧熔丝增材制造的熔池演化建模与验证

Modeling and Verification of the Pool Evolution in Arc Melting Additive Manufacturing of Aircraft Engine Blade

  • 摘要: 传统电弧熔丝增材制造过程中,加工件反复经历加热与快速冷却,并伴随着非稳态的质量沉积,极易引发内部产生加工缺陷以及高应力状态,导致其性能不稳定;与传统试错法不同,通过数值模拟对沉积过程进行模型建设并结合现场工艺可对沉积过程中熔池生成、流动趋势以及成形状态进行表征;首先,构建了耦合热-质-流-固多物理场耦合模型,开展了316L材质的航空发动机叶片的单道多层(共68层)的沉积过程的数值计算;其次,进一步分析了熔池生成过程中熔体流动趋势以及沉积层形貌特征;最后,通过基于GTAW加工实验获取的叶片成型件三维空间尺寸数据对模拟结果进行验证,形貌吻合良好,最大误差小于5%,充分验证了所建设模型在熔池流动与层间成形预测方面的准确性以及适用性。

     

    Abstract: In conventional wire arc additive manufacturing, the workpiece undergoes repeated heating and rapid cooling, along with unsteady material deposition. These conditions often lead to internal defects and high residual stress, resulting in unstable mechanical performance. Unlike traditional trial-and-error methods, numerical simulation enables the modeling of the deposition process, allowing for detailed characterization of melt pool formation, flow behavior, and layer morphology when combined with actual process parameters. First, a coupled thermo-mass-fluid-solid multi-physics model was developed to simulate the single-track, multi-layer (68 layers) deposition process of 316L stainless steel used in aerospace engine blades. Next, the flow patterns within the melt pool and the morphology of the deposited layers were further analyzed. Finally, the simulation results were validated using three-dimensional geometric data obtained from GTAW-fabricated blade specimens. The predicted and measured geometries showed strong agreement, with a maximum deviation of less than 5%, confirming the model’s accuracy and reliability in predicting melt pool dynamics and interlayer morphology.
