Microstructure Modeling of Uniform Droplet Sprayed Deposits for Mg Alloy-Based Additive Manufacturing

Abstract:
This article addresses modeling of the solidifying material structure during 3D welding/printing of fully dense Mg alloy products by fused deposition of molten droplets from a uniform droplet spray source on a motorized X-Y table substrate [1]. The resulting crystallite size distribution is simulated by a solidification model consisting of nucleation/fragmentation and constrained growth description, calibrated via structural data from a single droplet splat [2]. This is enabled by a semi-analytical thermal modeling framework, based on superposition of moving Green's and Rosenthal functions for the temperature field from a Gaussian source distribution [3], in which the deposit solid geometry and heat transfer boundary conditions are accounted for by mirror source images of modulated efficiency [4]. The simulation model is implemented for layered ellipsoidal deposit sections on planar substrates by multi-pass spraying, and its predictions are validated against measured crystal size by image analysis of experimental micrographs of a Mg97ZnY2 alloy, to an error margin of +15%. The computationally efficient simulation provides insight to the deposit microstructure, and is intended as a process observer in a closed-loop, adaptive control scheme based on infrared temperature measurements.
