Description

Electric arc additive manufacturing method for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of metal additive manufacturing, and relates to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire electric arc additive manufacturing method, in particular to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire electric arc additive manufacturing method assisted by cooling rolling and friction stir processing.
Background
The Wire and Arc Additive manufacturing technology (WAAM) of metal Wire is an advanced manufacturing technology which adopts Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or Plasma Arc Welding (PAW) as a heat source, utilizes the principle of dispersion and accumulation, and adopts the addition of metal wires to build up a three-dimensional metal part layer by layer from a line-surface-body according to a three-dimensional digital model under the control of a program. Compared with the additive manufacturing technology taking laser and electron beams as heat sources, the method has the following advantages: 1) the deposition rate is high, the utilization rate of the wire is high, and the manufacturing cost is low; 2) materials with high laser reflectivity (such as aluminum alloy) can be formed; 3) the size of the manufactured part is not limited by the size of the equipment forming cylinder and the vacuum chamber, and the manufacture of large-size components is easy to realize.
The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy belongs to a heat-treatable reinforced high-strength aluminum alloy, has the advantages of low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness, good fracture toughness and resistance performance, excellent forming performance and the like, and is widely applied to aerospace, transportation and other military and civil industries. At present, large-scale integral aluminum alloy components play an important role in improving the reliability and the light weight level of aircrafts, vehicles and the like. To ensure high performance, these large components are typically manufactured by forging. However, the heavy forging equipment and dies required by the forging method for manufacturing the large-scale integral member are expensive, the process is complex, the production period is long, and the material utilization rate is low (< 10%), so that the large-scale integral aluminum alloy member is difficult to prepare and high in cost. Therefore, the method has important practical significance for researching the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire electric arc additive manufacturing technology with high forming efficiency, low manufacturing cost and flexible manufacturing form. The weldability of a material often determines its suitability in the field of additive manufacturing technology, the better the weldability the material is, the easier it is to perform melt-based metal additive manufacturing, and the better the properties of the additive component are. The Zn element in the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy increases the solidification temperature range of the alloy, so that the alloy has higher crack sensitivity, and the Zn and Mg elements in the alloy are volatile in the welding process, so that the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy is easy to generate metal metallurgical defects such as welding cracks, air holes and the like during fusion welding, and the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy is very challenging in additive manufacturing based on fusion. Martin et al prepared an additive body having no solidification cracks and excellent properties by laser 3D printing using a 7075 aluminum alloy powder containing Zr (see J.H.Martin.3D printing of high-strength aluminum alloys. Nature, 2017, 549 (7672): 365.). However, no report is found on the current research on the electric arc additive manufacturing technology of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire. Therefore, the electric arc additive manufacturing technology of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire needs to be broken through urgently.
Friction Stir Processing (FSP) technology is a technology developed on the basis of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) for modifying microstructure of materials and preparing new materials. The basic principle of the method is similar to that of FSW, a stirring pin rotating at a high speed is pressed into the material, the processed material is subjected to severe plastic deformation, mixing and crushing under the strong stirring action of a stirring head, and the densification, homogenization and refinement of the microstructure of the material are realized, so that the performance of the material is improved. At present, the FSP technology has achieved good effects in the preparation of fine-grained/ultra-fine-grained materials and surface/block composite materials, the modification of the microstructure of heterogeneous materials, the local hardening/defect repair of workpieces, and the like. The advantages are embodied in the following aspects: (1) the crystal grains are refined, and the material performance is improved. In the friction stir processing process, under the composite condition of large strain and high temperature, the uniformly refined equiaxial crystal grains are obtained by dynamic recrystallization in the stirring area, and the mechanical property of the material is further improved. (2) The defects of the tissue structure of the material are eliminated, and a uniform and compact tissue structure is obtained. The cast aluminum alloy is subjected to stirring friction processing, coarse second-phase particles and aluminum dendrites of the cast alloy are crushed, casting pores are closed, matrix grains are refined, and the mechanical properties, particularly the plasticity and the fatigue property of the material are obviously improved. T.S.Mahmoud modifies eutectic A390 Al-Si alloy by FSP Technology, and research shows that casting shrinkage can be reduced by FSP Technology, and that the eutectic A390 Al-Si alloy has obvious refining effect on alpha-Al and Si particles (see T.S.Mahmoud, Surface modification of A390 hypereutectic Al-Si cast alloy processing. Surface & Coatings Technology, 2013, 228 (9): 209-220.). In addition, it has been reported that the weld joint of a fusion welded joint is subjected to FSP treatment to dynamically recrystallize the weld joint, thereby eliminating weld defects such as cast structure, blowholes, and thermal cracks of the weld joint, and improving the overall performance of the joint (see G.K. Paddy. front base welding and processing technologies-processes, parameters, microstructures and applications: A view. journal of Materials Science & Technology, 2018, 34 (9): 1-38.). Therefore, the technology is expected to enable the additive manufacturing of alloy (such as Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy) wires with strong crack sensitivity, thereby increasing the types of materials for the additive manufacturing of metal wires. (3) And the residual stress of the structure is reduced. The FSP belongs to a solid processing technology, the heat input is low, and the thermal deformation and residual stress of the processed material are small.
In conclusion, if the modification of interlayer stirring friction processing is combined in the electric arc additive manufacturing process of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy wire, the refining of the microstructure in the additive body is facilitated, the defects of air holes, cracks and the like can be eliminated, the microstructure with compact structure and uniform chemical components is obtained, the thermal deformation can be reduced, the residual stress is reduced, and the mechanical property of the additive body is improved. When the additive body is modified by using a stirring friction processing method, the action area of a stirring pin is limited, the metal on the side wall of the additive body is difficult to treat, and the metal on the side wall still retains the casting structure characteristics; in addition, in the subsequent electric arc additive manufacturing or friction stir processing modification process of the deposited metal of which the front layer is modified by friction stir processing, the microstructure can be coarsened under the action of multiple thermal cycles, so that the performance of the additive is reduced.
