A Laser-Shock-Enabled Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Strategy with Molten Pool Modulation of Fe-based Alloy

Краткое изложение: A novel hybrid laser additive manufacturing process based on laser shock modulation of molten pool was proposed in this work. The flow behavior residual stress, and microstructure of the molten pool were comprehensively characterized by a combination of experiments and simulations. The relationship between the convection behavior, evolution of microstructure, and enhancement of residual stress induced by laser shock modulation was established. Laser shock modulation assisted additive manufacturing process exhibits high efficiency in residual stress control. The hidden mechanism in microstructure evolution and residual stress enhancement was expected to be related to intensified molten pool convection, uniform solute distribution and improved cooling rate induced by shock wave. The hybrid additive manufacturing process strategy based on laser shock modulation provides a new approach for heat and mass modulation in hybrid manufacturing.
