Abstract Powder flow can affect the temperature variations in directed energy deposition (DED). However, the direct coupling mechanism remains unknown. To solve this problem, the heat and mass transfer in additive manufacturing was simulated using dynamic coupling. The interactions between the multiphase flow and heat transfer were established. A comparison with experiment shows that the accuracy of the predictions of the numerical simulation regarding powder size distributions and temperature increases is higher than 95%. The average temperature increase of the metal powders with different weight functions was highly consistent in the simulation process. As the powder More >
