Abstract
In this study, the forming characteristics of twin tungsten electrode – wire electrode indirect arc (TTWIA) based additive manufacturing were preliminarily investigated. Arc shape, droplet transfer behavior, molten pool temperature field, and molten pool flow state were obtained respectively. Results showed that the increase of arc current enhanced the coupling degree of TTWIA arc, and promoted the detachment of the droplet from the wire, which contributed to streaming spray transfer of the droplet. Besides, the temperature and fluidity of the molten pool both increased with the increase of the arc current due to the increasing temperature of the arc, enthalpy carried by the droplets, and driving forces acting on the molten pool. Moreover, the driving forces acting on the liquid metal in the deposited layer achieved equilibrium and a stable molten pool was acquired only when the arc current was selected appropriately, which resulted in a well forming quality of the deposited part with a lower surface roughness and a higher material utilization rate.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
