Ti6Al4V钛合金激光熔化沉积的热-冶金-力耦合建模与实验验证

Thermo-metallurgical-mechanical modeling and experimental validation of laser melting deposition of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy

  • 摘要: 为解决激光熔化沉积Ti6Al4V钛合金过程中的残余应力预测难题,开展了热-冶金-力耦合建模研究。在既有固态相变模型基础上,引入相变体积应变与混合相力学属性演化机制,构建了热冶金弹塑性本构关系,进而建立了可反映热-冶金-力学交互作用的数值仿真模型。实验验证表明,该耦合模型显著提高了残余应力的预测精度,相较于传统热-力耦合模型,平均预测误差降低约65.7%。应变历程分析进一步确认,精度提升主要源于考虑了冷却过程中固态相变引发的体积应变。基于该模型,系统分析了激光功率、激光扫描速度、层间冷却时间与沉积层数对残余应力的影响规律,相关结论为工艺参数优化提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: To address the difficulty in predicting residual stress during laser melting deposition of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, a coupled thermo-metallurgical-mechanical modeling study was carried out. Building upon an existing solid-state phase transformation model, a thermo-metallurgical elasto-plastic constitutive model was developed by introducing transformation-induced volumetric strain and the evolution of mechanical properties in mixed phases. Subsequently, a numerical simulation model capable of reflecting thermo-metallurgical-mechanical interactions was established. Experimental verification demonstrated that the coupled model significantly improves the prediction accuracy of residual stresses. Compared with the conventional thermo-mechanical coupled model, the average prediction error was reduced by approximately 65.7%. Strain history analysis further confirmed that the improvement mainly originated from the consideration of volumetric strain induced by solid-state phase transformation during cooling. Based on the model, the effects of laser power, scanning speed, interlayer dwell time, and number of deposited layers on residual stress were systematically analyzed, providing a theoretical basis for process parameter optimization.
