Description

Feedforward compensation GTA filler wire additive manufacturing forming height feedback control method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of electric arc wire filling additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a feed-forward compensation tungsten electrode inert Gas (GTA) wire filling additive manufacturing forming height feedback control method.
Background
The GTA filler wire additive manufacturing adopts GTA electric arc as a heat source, and auxiliary wire materials as filler materials to build and form the metal component layer by layer. At present, the technology has good application prospect in the manufacture of titanium alloy, nickel-based high-temperature alloy and high-strength aluminum alloy components. However, there are many interference factors in the GTA filler wire additive manufacturing, such as heat dissipation of the deposition layer, disturbance of process parameters, etc., so that the forming height of the current deposition layer is not consistent with the set height for lifting the GTA welding gun. After multilayer accumulation, the distance change of the tungsten needle to the surface of the accumulation layer is obvious. If the distance is too large, the energy of the electric arc is dispersed, and the formation of a deposited layer is deteriorated; if the distance is too small, the tungsten needle contacts the molten pool, so that the molten pool is polluted.
Currently, researchers propose to detect the distance from the tip of a tungsten needle to the surface of the current stacking layer by using a visual sensor and realize feedback control of the stacking height by adjusting process parameters on line. However, the stability of feedback control is poor, and the reason for the uneven control of the height of the formed part is mainly as follows: (1) the conventional feedback detection position is far away from the tip of the tungsten electrode, the detection system has large lag, and the process control belongs to lag control; (2) the non-uniformity in the height of the previous build-up layer has a greater effect on the current build-up layer. In order to improve the uniformity of the stacking height of the formed part and further improve the forming dimension precision, it is necessary to develop a detection and control method considering the interference of the previous stacking layer. Therefore, the invention provides a novel feedback control method for the forming height of GTA filler wire additive manufacturing based on feedforward compensation.
