研究目的
Investigating the accuracy and surface roughness of complex internal channels produced by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process for applications in satellite-communication microwave systems.
研究成果
The L-PBF process demonstrates potential for manufacturing complex waveguide components with high dimensional accuracy and acceptable surface roughness. The component with a 30 mm curvature radius showed the best accuracy, with deviations as low as 0.023 mm from the CAD model. However, surface roughness and dross formation in overhanging areas remain challenges that need to be addressed for optimal electromagnetic performance.
研究不足
The study highlights the challenges of achieving high dimensional accuracy and surface quality in complex internal channels, especially in overhanging areas where dross formation can occur. The surface roughness, although consistent, may still affect electromagnetic performance for certain applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing and manufacturing a complex waveguide device with bending, twisting, and filtering functionalities in AlSi10Mg alloy using L-PBF. Three prototypes with different curvature radii (50 mm, 40 mm, and 30 mm) were produced and tested.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The prototypes were designed for Ku/K band operation and were tested for electromagnetic performance. Internal deviations from the CAD model were evaluated using 3D scan data.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
An EOSINT M270 Dual-mode system was used for manufacturing. Surface roughness was measured using an RTP80 roughness tester, and internal surfaces were analyzed with a Leica S9i stereomicroscope.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The components were built with specific process parameters to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality. After manufacturing, the prototypes were tested for electromagnetic performance and then cut to analyze internal surfaces.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The internal deviations and surface roughness were analyzed to correlate with the electromagnetic performances of the prototypes.
