Primary Study on Electron Beam Surfi-Sculpt of Ti-6Al-4V

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electron beam surfi-sculpt is a new metal surface processing technology, which is potentially used in many areas. In this paper, forming mechaniam of electron beam surfi-sculpt has been investigated by experiments and numerical simulation. Electron beam surfi-sculpt of Ti-6Al-4V was realized by a new control system and a innovative hexagon scanning waveform. At the same time, microstructure of protrusions was analysed. All the results of experiments and simulation show that forming mechanism is the interaction of vapour pressure and surface tension, but surface tension plays a dominant role during electron beam surfi-sculpt process.
