2. Application of heat treatment vacuum furnace in additive manufacturing metal 3D printing
Heat treatment vacuum furnaces play an important role in additive manufacturing metal 3D printing. Additive manufacturing metal 3D printing is a technology that melts metal powder layer by layer. Since the metal will be affected by high temperatures during the printing process, subsequent heat treatment is required to adjust its structure and performance.
The application of heat treatment vacuum furnaces in additive manufacturing metal 3D printing is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Removing residual stress: Metal 3D printed parts will generate residual stress during the forming process, affecting their stability and performance. Heat treatment vacuum furnace can remove residual stress and improve the stability and reliability of parts through appropriate heat treatment processes, such as annealing or tempering.
Adjusting the organizational structure: The organizational structure of metal 3D printed parts is usually uneven, and heat treatment is required to adjust the organizational structure and improve its uniformity and stability. The heat treatment vacuum furnace can provide precise temperature control and atmosphere control to ensure the stability and reliability of the heat treatment effect.
Improve mechanical properties: After heat treatment of metal 3D printed parts, their mechanical properties such as hardness, strength and toughness can be significantly improved. The heat treatment vacuum furnace can select the appropriate heat treatment process according to the specific requirements of the parts to optimize performance.
Improve surface quality: The heat treatment vacuum furnace can also be used to improve the surface quality of metal 3D printed parts, such as removing oxide scales, improving surface finish, etc., to enhance the overall quality and appearance of the parts.
In general, the application of heat treatment vacuum furnaces in additive manufacturing metal 3D printing can effectively improve the quality and performance of parts, expand their application areas, and provide important support for the development of metal additive manufacturing technology.
Heat treatment vacuum furnaces have the following advantages in additive manufacturing metal 3D printing:
Precise temperature control: The heat treatment vacuum furnace can achieve precise temperature control. According to different metal materials and heat treatment process requirements, the temperature in the furnace can be accurately controlled to ensure the stability and reliability of the heat treatment effect.
Excellent atmosphere control: The vacuum furnace can perform heat treatment in an oxygen-free or low-oxygen environment, which avoids the impact of oxidation on metal parts and is beneficial to maintaining the smoothness of the metal surface and removing oxide scale.
Uniform heating effect: The heat treatment vacuum furnace can achieve uniform heating of metal parts, avoid problems such as deformation and cracks caused by excessive temperature gradients, and ensure the dimensional stability of the parts.
Reliable heat treatment effect: The heat treatment vacuum furnace can provide stable and reliable heat treatment effect. According to different metal materials and process requirements, the appropriate heat treatment process can be selected to improve the performance and stability of the parts.
Energy saving and environmental protection: The vacuum furnace does not require air or oxygen when working, which reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution, and meets the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection.
