文摘

In this study, the effect of arc mode in cold metal transfer (CMT) process on the porosity characteristic of additively manufactured Al-6.3%Cu alloy has been systematically investigated. The variants include conventional CMT, CMT pulse (CMT-P), CMT advanced (CMT-ADV) and CMT pulse advanced (CMT-PADV) and experiments were performed on both single layer deposits and multilayer deposits. The mechanism of porosity generation using the CMT arc mode variants is discussed. It was found that deposit porosity is significantly influenced by the arc mode type of CMT process. Conventional CMT is not suitable for the additive manufacturing process because it produces a large amount of gas pores, even in single layer deposit. CMT-PADV proved to be the most suitable process for depositing aluminium alloy due to its excellent performance in controlling porosity. With correct parameter, setting the gas pores can be eliminated. It was found that the key factors that enable the CMT-PADV process to control the porosity efficiently are the low heat input, a fine equiaxed grain structure and effective oxide cleaning of the wire.
