Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and particularly relates to a 3D printing process method of a high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy.
Background
The 3D printing is a preparation technology for obtaining a product with a complex shape by using three-dimensional model data in a layer-by-layer accumulation mode. Compared with the traditional preparation method of plastics, ceramics, metals, alloys and composite materials, the 3D printing technology has a series of advantages of being capable of preparing products with high precision and complex shapes, saving raw materials, saving cost and the like, and has good application prospects. Currently, common 3D printing methods include direct three-dimensional printing and forming technology (3DP), selective laser melting technology (SLM), stereo light curing technology (SLA), fused deposition technology (FDM), etc., wherein the selective laser melting technology (SLM) is widely applied to 3D printing of metal powder. The metals and alloys which can be used for SLM at present mainly comprise stainless steel, titanium alloy, aluminum alloy and the like, and are mainly applied to aerospace and automobile industries.
The aluminum alloy is a material which is widely concerned in the 3D printing manufacturing technology, has the characteristics of light weight, low melting point, high plasticity and the like, the weight density of the aluminum is 1.7 times lighter than that of the titanium, and the total weight of parts can be greatly reduced by using the aluminum alloy, so the aluminum alloy has wide application prospects in the automobile lightweight and aerospace industries. However, there are still many technical difficulties in producing aluminum alloys by selective laser melting methods: higher laser radiation power is required compared to titanium or steel SLM due to the high thermal conductivity and reflectivity of aluminum and aluminum alloys. The aluminum alloy powder is easily oxidized, and the sintering of the powder particles is prevented by an oxide film on the powder particles, so that the printed product may have a high porosity. Also because of these technical difficulties, none of the currently SLM printed aluminum alloys have high strength, even up to cast aluminum alloys of the same composition, but at a much higher cost than the latter. Therefore, although the industry has a high interest in 3D printing aluminum alloy, the 3D printing aluminum alloy products in the market are limited, and most aluminum alloy parts are produced by traditional processes such as casting.
Currently, a great deal of aluminum-silicon alloys with better casting performance, such as AlSi10Mg, AlSi12 and the like, are used for 3D printing of aluminum alloys. The aluminum-silicon alloy prepared by the SLM technology has the highest tensile strength of about 450MPa, the elongation of about 4 percent, moderate tensile strength and low elongation. Wrought aluminum alloys with higher strength and better ductility often suffer from a large number of cracks during SLM processing, resulting in poor product performance far from comparable to conventionally manufactured aluminum alloys. At present, ductility of the aluminum-silicon alloy prepared by SLM is slightly increased after heat treatment, but tensile property is greatly reduced, the effect of heat treatment on performance improvement is limited, and fine microstructure of the aluminum-silicon alloy is damaged to cause performance reduction. Aiming at the current research situation of the SLM aluminum alloy, designing and optimizing the special SLM aluminum alloy is an effective way for preparing the high-performance aluminum alloy through the SLM.
Researches find that rare earth elements such as Sc and the like are added into the alloy, so that the cracking problem of the wrought aluminum alloy caused by high cooling rate in the SLM process can be effectively solved, and a product with a smooth surface and no cracks is prepared. Meanwhile, Sc can also form nano Al3And the Sc precipitates further improve the strength of the SLM aluminum alloy. However, the rare earth element content is low, the price is high, and the large-scale popularization and application are not facilitated.
