Features of the Formation of Structure and Geometry during Direct Laser Deposition of 321L Stainless Steel on Complex Groove Using the LENS Method

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing is a new approach to solving the problems of creating high-performance instrument components. This article is devoted to the solution of the narrowly directed problem of surfacing metal powder 321L using the LENS method on the solenoid valve core. The core is made of electrical steel, in which a complex groove is machined. The difficulty of this work was to accurately perform the geometry of the melt layer that is not standard for this method. As a result, the product was obtained according to a completely new approach to its design, which subsequently gave increased operational characteristics of the final product. The article presents the problems that can be encountered when performing complex crevice surfacing on a complex groove. The structure of the deposited layer is considered, defects characteristic of this method in the form of interlayer pores, unalloyed powder particles are identified and described. The LENS process control modes are presented in order to reduce defects and improve the development of surfacing geometry.
