Abstract

In this study, a three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) model is established using user-defined subroutines based on commercial software ABAQUS to investigate the heat transfer and temperature field distribution during selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing of H13 hot working tool steel powder. The influence of the applied laser volumetric energy density (VED) on the laser remelting and premelting behaviors during SLM process are quantitatively investigated. And the SLM experiments were carried out to analyze the metallurgical bonding quality. The relationships are explored among the VED, laser remelting/premelting and metallurgical bonding behavior, thereby revealing the formation and regulation mechanisms of metallurgical bonding. The results show that the laser remelting and premelting contribute to improving the lap ratio of molten tracks and promoting the effective metallurgical bonding. The peak temperature of the remolten pool, remelting and premelting dimensions, remelting and premelting indexes, and lap ratio are positively correlated with the applied VED. Under the optimized VED of 111.1 J/mm3, there is no obvious defect on the cross-section of SLM-fabricated H13 samples, implying a good metallurgical bonding is obtained. This study could provide theoretical and experimental basis for the regulation and control of metallurgical bonding quality of SLM-fabricated parts, which would become design guidelines.
