- 摘要：
- With the increasing research into selective laser sintering of composite powders, a modified numerical model was introduced to provide appropriate process predictions for the production of different functional composites. This numerical method included an effective volumetric heat source model and an integrated testing procedure, in which the differences of PA/carbon fiber (PA/CF) and PA/NaCl composite powders in thermo-physical and optical properties were studied. The unknown variables in the numerical model were all determined by experiments. The simulated temperature distributions of different powder beds exhibited a big difference in the melting depth. Entirely different processing parameters were planned for the two composites according to their simulation results. In the following experiments, highly porous PA derived from PA/NaCl composites had maximum porosity of 59%. Compared with pure PA, CF reinforced PA showed a dramatic increase of the flexural strength and modulus by a factor of 100% and 380%, respectively. Therefore, the objective functions of two PA composites were both well accomplished. In addition, the experimental investigation became more efficient duo to the process prediction. The accuracy of the model was validated by the microstructures of PA/CF and PA/NaCl, which meant this method could be used to provide appropriate process planning for more composites.
