Highlights

• Migration mechanism of binder droplets in powder bed is explored.

• Parameters affect initial migration behavior of binder in Z direction.

• Pore throat structure guides and constrains the binder migration.

• Binder freezing occurs first at edges and prevents further binder migration.


Abstract

Frozen sand mold additive manufacturing is a new process that utilizes water-based binder phase transition freezing in a low-temperature environment to create sand molds. The aim is to reduce resin binder pollution. However, binder migration and phase transition behavior require further investigation. This study uses CFD method to numerically simulate the droplet size, injection frequency, and environmental temperature in the migration behavior of water-based binder. The results show that changes in process parameters lead to alterations in the binder migration path, which in turn affects the structure of the binder bridge network. The pore throat guides binder migration, leading to a higher concentration of binder near the sand layer surface. At 268 K, the freezing rate of the binder is much faster than the migration rate of the binder during the slow development stage, significantly affecting the migration behavior of the binder and the binder bridge network structure.
