Normalized evaluation for wire arc additive manufacturing of 2319 aluminum alloy

Abstract

To analyze quantitatively various indexes of wire arc additive manufacturing components of 2319 aluminum alloy, the expressions of curved surface between different process parameters, porosity and tensile strength values were fitted, and the "process-structure-property" corresponding rule was established. In addition, a normalized fuzzy evaluation model was developed for process parameters, organizational defects, and mechanical properties using the generalized fuzzy synthesis operation rule. The purpose of this model was to obtain the optimal process parameters. The results show that the porosity generally increases with the wire feeding speed rising.Then the porosity generally decreases with a decrease in scanning speed. When the scanning speed is 0.035 m/s, the correlation between porosity and tensile strength is the lowest, with a correlation coefficient (coefficient of determination, COD) of only 0.6. The comprehensive evaluation score of the expert is the highest when the wire feeding speed is 5.0 m/min and the scanning speed is 0.025 m/s, indicating that this combination of process parameters is optimal.
