Abstract

To accurately predict and effectively control temperatures, stresses and distortions are key problems existing in laser deposition manufacturing technology. The mechanism of thermo-mechanical evolution during the metal depositing process is not yet clear. In order to study the dimensional effect on thermo-mechanical evolution when TC4 single-pass and thin-walled structures are manufactured by laser deposition, finite element simulations and experiments are combined to explore the influence of the structures' length on temperature, stress and distortion of the substrates. The model reliability is validated by thermocouple temperatures and the residual deformations of substrates. The results show that the temperatures of molten pools increase periodically according to the depositing layers. As soon as the laser is terminated, the maximum temperatures of builds decline at high speed, but the minimum temperatures continue to rise in the form of parabola. When the lengths of thin-walled structures increase, the thermal extremes of molten pools are not affected, but the curvatures of cooling curves diminish, the steady cooling rates accelerate, meanwhile the temperature gradients increase. The initial stresses when depositing the first layer are maximum during manufacturing, the stresses decline progressively with the increasing layer numbers, but recover during cooling. While the lengths expand, stresses of the first layer increase. At the same time both low stress regions during depositing and high stress areas during cooling are enlarged which are around the depositing structures, but the lengths of thin-walled structures appear to have a minimal impact on the stress magnitudes. During deposition, the out-of-plane distortions of the substrates oscillate up and down, after cooling the directions of deformations are fixed towards the light source. The out-of-plane distortions are more obvious as the lengths increase. During cooling the substrates' deformations reach equilibrium earlier than temperatures and stresses.
