Metal laminating and modeling method
View Patent ↗In a metal laminating and modeling method, a three-dimensional modeled object 10 having a main surface 12 and an outer circumferential surface 13 is modeled by sequentially laminating a plurality of metal layers 11 m . The metal laminating and modeling method has a metal layer formation step of forming the metal layers 11 m by forming a plurality of weld beads 100 so as to be arranged in a horizontal direction on a table 2 , and a first end portion weld bead formation step of inclining the table 2 such that a target surface 2 f faces in a first inclination direction and forming first end portion weld beads 100 a so as to overlap, among a plurality of center weld beads 100 c , the center weld beads 100 c located at an uppermost end in a vertical direction Dv.
1. A metal laminating and modeling method for modeling a three-dimensional modeled object having a main surface and a side surface extending in a direction intersecting with the main surface from an end portion of the main surface by sequentially laminating metal layers, the method comprising:
a metal layer formation step of individually forming each of the metal layers by forming, via arc welding, weld beads arranged in a horizontal direction on a table having a target surface on which the metal layer is formed, the weld beads including:
one or more first end portion weld beads that form an outside region of the metal layer in a radial direction of the metal layer;
one or more second end portion weld beads that form an inside region of the metal layer in the radial direction of the metal layer; and
center portion weld beads that form a center portion of the metal layer, wherein the metal layer formation step is repeated such that the weld beads are laminated on the formed metal layers,
the metal layer formation step comprises:
a center portion weld bead formation step of setting the table in a horizontal state such that the target surface faces upward in a vertical direction and forming the center portion weld beads to overlap in a direction in which the target surface extends;
a first end portion weld bead formation step of:
inclining the table such that the target surface faces a first inclination direction intersecting with the vertical direction; and
forming the one or more first end portion weld beads to overlap one of the center portion weld beads located at an uppermost end in the vertical direction; and
a second end portion weld bead formation step of:
inclining the table such that the target surface faces a second inclination direction that is opposite to the first inclination direction; and
forming the one or more second end portion weld beads to overlap one of the center portion weld beads located at an end opposite to the end at which the one or more first end portion weld beads are formed, wherein
when the table is inclined, the one or more second end portion weld beads are located above the center portion weld beads in the vertical direction.
2. The metal laminating and modeling method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a side surface formation step of:
inclining the table such that the one or more first end portion weld beads are disposed above the center portion weld beads; and
forming side surface weld beads on the one or more first end portion weld beads to form the side surface, wherein
the side surface formation step is performed after all of the metal layers are formed by repeating the metal layer formation step.
3. The metal laminating and modeling method according to claim 2 , wherein
the modeled object has a tubular portion extending in an axial direction,
the main surface is a surface extending so as to intersect with the axial direction in at least one end portion of the tubular portion in the axial direction, and
the side surface is an outer circumferential surface of the tubular portion.
4. The metal laminating and modeling method according to claim 1 , wherein
the modeled object has a tubular portion extending in an axial direction,
the main surface is a surface extending so as to intersect with the axial direction in at least one end portion of the tubular portion in the axial direction, and
the side surface is at least one of an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface of the tubular portion.
