Abstract
Direct energy deposition is an additive technology that can quickly manufacture irregularly shaped quartz-glass devices. Based on this technology and coaxial laser/wire feeding, open-loop tests were conducted under different process parameters. A closed-loop temperature control system was designed and built for the molten pool temperature in quartz-glass additive manufacturing. It was based on a PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control algorithm for adjusting laser power. Changes in the macroscopic morphology, microstructure, and other qualities of the final additive result before and after the temperature control of the quartz glass were examined. Relative to constant laser powers of 120 W and 140 W, the temperature control of the multi-pass single-layer lateral additives produced dense surface microstructures of the additively produced quartz glass, and the molding quality was better.
期刊介绍:
Micromachines (ISSN 2072-666X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to micro-scaled machines and micromachinery. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
