An Extended Analytical Solution of the Non-Stationary Heat Conduction Problem in Multi-Track Thick-Walled Products during the Additive Manufacturing Process

An analytical model has been developed for calculating three-dimensional transient temperature fields arising in the direct deposition process to study the thermal behavior of multi-track walls with various configurations. The model allows the calculation of all characteristics of the temperature fields (thermal cycles, cooling rates, temperature gradients) in the wall during the direct deposition process at any time. The solution of the non-stationary heat conduction equation for a moving heat source is used to determine the temperature field in the deposited wall, taking into account heat transfer to the environment. The method considers the size of the wall and the substrate, the change in power from layer to layer, the change in the cladding speed, the interpass dwell time (pause time), and the heat source trajectory. Experiments on the deposition of multi-track block samples are carried out, as a result of which the values of the temperatures are obtained at fixed points. The proposed model makes it possible to reproduce temperature fields at various values of the technological process parameters. It is confirmed by comparisons with experimental thermocouple data. The relative difference in the interlayer temperature does not exceed 15%.

Stationary Heat Conduction

The technique of determining the quasistatic thermoelastic state of the layered thermosensitive plates free of load is illustrated. Much attention is paid to finding analytical-numerical solutions of one-dimensional non-stationary heat conduction problems taking into account the temperature dependences of the thermal and temperature conductivity coefficients. Their finding involves use of the Kirchhoff transformation, generalized functions, Green's functions of the corresponding linear heat conduction problem, exact sums of the series, in particular those for which the Gibbs effect takes place, linear splines and solving the received recurrent systems of nonlinear algebraic equations relative to the values in the nodes of the spline of the Kirchhoff variable on the layer division surfaces and the derivative in time on inner flat-parallel surfaces of layers. The results of numerical calculations of temperature fields in two-layer plates with different thicknesses of layers and the external surface heated by a constant heat flux are presented. The accuracy of the found solution is investigated. The comparison of the temperature fields, which are determined assuming simple nonlinearity, stable thermophysical characteristics with the ones based on the exact solution of the corresponding nonlinear stationary heat conduction problem is fulfilled.
