Abstract

Directed energy deposition (DED), which is one of the metal-powder additive manufacturing processes, is a promising method suitable for repairing. Because the carrier gas that transports the metal powder and the shield gas that protects the optical system are supplied in DED, it is difficult to estimate the transport of metal powder due to the complex turbulence around the processing point, resulting the powder supply efficiency gets lowered. This study computationally analyzed the fluid dynamics of two types of DED nozzles for improving the powder supply efficiency by changing the number of powder channels, working distance and channel diameter.
