FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates, in general, to the use of a diode laser fiber arrangement for Direct Metal Melting by Laser (DMLM) for use in the manufacture or repair of components, more particularly, components of an engine gas turbine. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Additive manufacturing is a well-known technology that enables “3D printing” of components of various materials including metals, ceramics and plastics. In additive manufacturing, a part is constructed in a layer-by-layer mode by leveling metallic powder and selectively melting the powder using a high-powered laser or electron beam. After each layer, more powder is added and the laser forms the next layer, simultaneously fusing it to the previous layers to make a complete component buried in a powder bed. Additive manufacturing systems and processes are used to manufacture accurate three-dimensional components from a digital model.
[003] When making a construction on current powder bed systems, the laser beam or electron beam is used to sweep a layer of powder to sinter and melt the desired shape in the layers of the powder bed. The typical scan time for such systems per layer is in the range of 70 to 100 seconds. For some applications, construction may require days of processing time. One application of DMLM is in the manufacture and repair of airfoils for aircraft gas turbine engines. The geometries of the airfoils are difficult to form using conventional casting technologies, so the manufacture of the airfoils using a DMLM process or an electron beam melting process has been proposed. With the layers built on top of each other and joined to each other by cross-section, an airfoil or portion thereof, as for a repair, with the required geometries, can be produced. The airfoil may require post-processing to provide desired structural characteristics.
[004] Another problem with laser scanning of Direct Metal Melting by Laser (DMLM) systems is the rapid cooling rates that can lead to the cracking of certain alloys during the construction process of additive manufacturing. Rapid cooling rates also present difficulties in obtaining desirable grain development, for example, grain development that is normal to the layer surface. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[005] According to an example of the present invention, a method for forming a construction in a powder bed comprises emitting a plurality of laser beams from fibers selected from a diode laser fiber arrangement over the powder bed , with the selected fibers of the arrangement corresponding to a pattern of a layer of the construction; and simultaneously melt the powder in the powder bed that corresponds to the construction layer pattern.
[006] According to another example of the present invention, an apparatus for forming a powder bed construction comprises a diode laser fiber arrangement comprising a plurality of diode lasers and a plurality of optical fibers corresponding to the plurality diode lasers, each optical fiber being configured to receive a laser beam from the respective diode laser and configured to emit the laser beam; a support configured to support a powder bed or a component configured to support the powder bed at some working distance from the ends of the optical fibers; and a controller configured to control the diode laser fiber array to emit a plurality of laser beams from selected fibers from the diode laser fiber array over the powder bed, with the selected fibers in the array corresponding to a pattern of a layer of the construction and simultaneously melt the powder in the powder bed that corresponds to the pattern of the layer of the construction.

DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE INVENTION
[008] Referring to Figure 1A, a diode laser array 101 (e.g., a diode laser bar or stack) includes a plurality of diode lasers or emitters 103, each of which emits a beam of radiation 105. A plurality of cylindrical lenses 107 is positioned between diode lasers 103 and a plurality of optical fibers 109 to couple each diode laser 103 to an optical fiber 109. Optical fibers 109 can be supplied in a package 102 between the array diode laser and the free ends of the optical fibers, as shown, for example, in Figures 1A to 1C: However, it should be noted that diode fiber laser arrangements that do not use coupling optics can be used with the present technology, as discussed below.
[009] Referring to Figure 1B, the diode laser fiber array 101 can include lenses 117 at the ends of the optical fibers 109. The lenses 117 can be configured to provide collimated laser beams 120 from the optical fibers 109. Referring to Figure 1C, the diode laser fiber array 101 may not include optics (for example, a lens) between diode lasers 103 and optical fibers 109 and radiation beams 105 may be received by the optical fibers 109 in proximity to diode lasers 103. Optical fibers 109 may have lenses 117 at their respective ends. Lenses 117 can be configured to provide a predetermined divergence to laser beams 120 emitted from optical fibers 109. It should also be noted that instead of providing lenses that the ends of optical fibers 109 can be shaped to provide laser beams collimated or divergent 120.
[010] Referring to Figure 2, the diode laser fiber array 101 directs the laser beams 120 from the optical fibers 109 to a powder bed 130 to simultaneously melt all the desired powder in one layer. To generate a desired pattern, for example from a repair or a component to be manufactured, the required diode lasers 103 are activated to affect the desired simultaneous melting of each fiber 109. The melting process time for the desired pattern may be less than a second, which is at least two orders of magnitude faster than current scanning processes.
[011] The dust bed 130 can be provided in a component 150, for example, an airfoil of an aircraft gas turbine engine, which is supported on a support 170 to provide a repair to the component. Although the present technology may be applicable to the component repair function, it should be noted that the present technology is applicable for the construction of additive manufacturing of new made components. The powder bed can be provided on the support 170 and the diode laser fiber array 101 used to build or manufacture the component, layer by layer.
[012] The holder 170 can be moved by an actuator or an actuator system 175 that is configured to move the holder 170 in the Z direction (that is, normal to the dust bed 130) as shown in Figure 2 The actuator or actuator 175 can also be configured to move support 170 in the XY plane as shown in Figure 2, although support 170 is not moved in the XY plane during simultaneous melting of the powder bed from each fiber 109. The actuator or actuator system 175 can be controlled by controller 135 which is configured to control the actuator or actuator system 175 and the diode laser fiber array 101. The actuator or actuator system 175 can include, for example, a linear motor (s) and / or hydraulic and / or pneumatic piston (s) and / or a screwdriver mechanism (s) and / or a conveyor. Since the diode laser fiber array 101 has the ability to simultaneously melt all of the required powder in the layer to a pattern, there is no need to move array 101 or powder bed 130 during melting, for example, as it is done with current systems in which a laser beam or electron beam is used to sweep a layer of dust.
[013] The distance D between the optical fiber array 109 (that is, the ends of the optical fibers 109) and the powder bed 130 can be controlled by moving the support 170 in the Z direction. The distance D may depend on the type of laser beams 120 emitted by optical fibers 109 (for example, if laser beams 120 are collimated or divergent, and the amount of divergence), the average output power of each diode laser 103, the pulse energy of each diode laser 103, the pulse width of each diode laser 103, and or the beam distribution (for example, Gaussian, top hat, etc.). The ends of the optical fibers 109 can be located at, for example, about 5 mm to about 150 mm, for example, about 20 mm to about 80 mm above the dust bed 130 so that any region of a layer of the powder bed 130 can be melted at the same time by activating the required diode lasers 103 at the same time.
[014] Controller 135 controls the activation and deactivation of each diode laser 103. The controller can also control the rate at which the power of each diode laser 103 is reduced when deactivated. Controller 135 can activate and deactivate each diode laser 103 within a time frame of, for example, about 5 to 15 milliseconds or more if necessary. For a given powder layer 130, for example, above an airfoil to be repaired, the desired laser diodes 103 are activated to melt the powder in the desired shape by a CAD design, which can be inserted and / or stored in the controller 135 This process can be repeated as many times as necessary to generate the required repair region. In case the system is used to manufacture a component, for example, an airfoil, the process is repeated as many times as necessary to build the component. Controller 135 controls the actuator or actuator 175 to move the holder 170 downwardly as the powder layers are added and subsequently processed by the diode laser fiber array. Each layer formed can be, for example, about 1 μm to about 1 mm thick. In the case of repairing an airfoil, each layer can be formed, for example, about 100 μm thick.
[015] Controller 135 can be a computer processor or other logic-based device, software components (for example, software applications) and / or a combination of hardware components and software components (for example, a processor computer or other logic-based device and associated software application, a computer processor, or other logic-based device that has physical link control instructions, or the like).
[016] The diode laser fiber array 101 can be controlled by controller 135 to control the heat of powder near or adjacent to the melted region to control the cooling rate of the melted region. Controller 135 can also control diode laser fiber array 101 to preheat powder bed 130 and / or component 150. The preheat power densities of diode lasers 103 can be about 100 at 100,000 watts / cm2. By preheating the powder bed 130 and / or the component 150 and / or heating the region close to or adjacent to the melting region, the thermal gradient can be controlled to be substantially only in the normal direction to the powder bed (i.e. , in the Z direction in Figure 2). This can help with materials that are sensitive to cracking at rapid solidification cooling rates. The development of desirable grain that is normal to the layer surface can be achieved with flat cooling of a dust bed layer. This allows the formation of a directionally solidified (DS) grain structure and a single crystal structure with the repair of building an airfoil type structure. It should also be noted that the diode lasers 103 can be controlled to overheat the powder bed 130 to control the viscosity of the melted region. Controlling the viscosity of the melted region allows control over, for example, dust evaporation, the grain structure of the solidified layer and / or the surface finish of the repair or component.
[017] The material in the powder bed 130 can be metallic powder, for example, CoCrMo powder. It should be noted that other materials, for example plastic, ceramic or glass, can be used for the dust bed. Depending on the material in the powder bed, the power of each diode laser 103 can be from about 10 to about 60 watts. The power of the diode lasers 103 that are used can be related to the diameter of the optical fibers 109 used. The power density of diode lasers 103 can be up to about 1,000,000 watts / cm2 to melt the powder within a layer of each fiber.
[018] The fiber centering position in the fiber array (for example, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B) is defined by the diameter of a barrier, or coating 115 of the optical fiber 109. Referring to Figure 3, the fiber Optics 109 comprises a core 111, formed of, for example, silica and coating 113, formed, for example, of silica around core 111. In order to create a numerical aperture and provide total internal reflection within fiber 109, the index The refractive index of the silica core may be greater than the refractive index of the silica coating. For example, the silica core can have a refractive index of about 1.45 and the silica coating can have a refractive index of about 1.43. Cover 113 has a thickness of about 10 μm.
[019] The barrier, or coating, 115 surrounds the overlay 113 and can be formed of, for example, acrylate. To reduce the central spacing between the optical fibers 109, the barrier (acrylate coating) 115 can be replaced by a thinner acrylate coating to reduce the overall fiber diameter. The thickness of the barrier, or coating 115, can be about 62 μm. The total diameter of fiber 109 can be about 200 μm to about 250 μm.
[020] The diameter of the fiber core 111 can be about 105 μm. It should be noted that fiber core diameters of about 60 μm can be used. In addition, it should be noted that optical fibers 109 of various cross-sections can be used. For example, square fibers can be used to increase fiber packaging. The melt cluster size produced by the laser beam (s) 120 of each optical fiber 109 corresponds to the effective laser spot size produced by the laser beam (s) 120. In the case of collimated laser beams 120, the 'size melt cluster size generally corresponds to the diameter of the fiber core 111. However, the laser beams 120 of the fibers 109 can be controlled to produce a 'melt cluster size that is, for example, two to four times larger than the diameter of the fiber core 111. The laser beams 120 can be controlled to have a divergence to provide a 'melting cluster size greater than the diameter of the fiber core 111. In the case of divergent laser beams 120 , the distance D from the ends of the fibers 109 of the arrangement 101 to the powder bed 130 will also influence the melt cluster size of each fiber. The pulse width of the laser beams and the laser beam profiles can also be controlled to adjust the ‘melt cluster size provided by each fiber.
[021] Referring to Figures 4A and 4B, the fiber array 109 can be linear as shown in Figure 4A or closed bundled arrangement as shown in Figure 4B. Other arrangements, for example, hexagonal, can be used. It must also be verified that the arrangement can be in a format that corresponds to the format of a component to be manufactured. The spacing between fibers 109 can be equal to the diameter of the barrier, or coating, 115.
[022] The diode laser fiber array of the present technology can be used to process a layer of dust bed by exposing the layer with simultaneous laser energy from required diode laser beam sources. The present technology also allows to melt the entire pattern in the layer in a time frame that can be less than a second and, when required, control the heat of the powder near and / or adjacent to the melted region to control the region's cooling rate. melted. The diode laser fiber arrangement allows grain structure control. The commercial advantages for diode laser fiber array systems include fewer systems required to produce the same number of parts than current systems and adjust powerbed systems to the size of the parts of interest. The present invention can also be used to perform sintering, for example, direct metal sintering by laser.
