Numerical analysis of the process of electron beam additive deposition with vertical feed of wire material

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV Vol. 24 No. 3 2022 TECHNOLOGY Conclusion The results of numerical analysis of additive electron-beam deposition of wire material, melted by two symmetrically acting electron beams, confi rmed the need to consider the infl uence of vapor pressure forces, due to the signifi cant infl uence on the hydrodynamic processes in the weld pool, transfer modes of the fi ller material and, consequently, on the formation of deposited beads. As a result of numerical experiment, the best formation of deposited beads is provided at a smaller azimuthal tilt angle of each electron beam to the vertical, in this case, there are minor distortions in the shape of the deposited beads from the location of the deposition velocity vector relative to the action plane of the electron beams, which also confi rms the prospects for the developed technology for production parts with complex shapes. The next stage of research will be verifi cation and calibration of the mathematical model using experimental data, in order to ensure the possibility of predicting the deposition results and further optimization of the process.
