Description

Aluminum alloy powder material for aviation additive manufacturing, preparation method and 3D printing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy powder, in particular to an aluminum alloy powder material for aviation additive manufacturing, a preparation method and a 3D printing method.
Background
Aluminum alloys have been used as a lightweight high-strength material, and have been playing a significant role in various fields due to their excellent specific strength. In particular, in the aerospace field, the requirements on aluminum alloy are increasing and demanding, and besides the requirement on light weight of materials, the requirements on flexibility and integration of component design are also provided. The additive manufacturing process in the current processing mode, especially the additive manufacturing process of aluminum alloy, needs to meet both the requirements of light weight and high strength of materials and the design and forming requirements of complex parts.
The high-strength aluminum alloy has the characteristics of small density, high strength, good processing performance, excellent welding performance and the like, and the performance of the high-strength aluminum alloy commonly used at present, such as Al-Cu-Mg alloy and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy, can best meet the new requirements of aeronautical manufacturing. However, the conventional high-strength aluminum alloy material is designed for deformation processing instead of laser forming, has a large stress cracking tendency and cannot adapt to a 3D printing process, and the existing Al-Si alloy capable of realizing 3D printing cannot bear the role of a bearing part in mechanical properties, so that an aluminum alloy material for additive manufacturing in the field of aviation is urgently needed to meet the requirement of laser forming performance.
At present, the printable aluminum alloy powder material mainly comprises Al-Si series materials such as AlSi10Mg, alSi7Mg, alSi12 and the like, the strength, the tensile strength in a deposition state and the tensile strength in an annealing state are not high, the distance from the forging material is far, and the aluminum alloy powder material cannot meet the requirement of aviation application.
The performance of the commonly used aluminum alloy such as Al-Cu-Mg series and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu series alloy can meet the use requirement of aviation, but the commonly used aluminum alloy cannot adapt to additive manufacturing forming, and for example, the Al-Cu-Mg series and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu series alloy material cannot adapt to additive manufacturing process due to components.
The main reasons are that: the aluminum alloy material has high laser reflectivity, and the components are complex, so that the volatilization of low-melting-point components and the tearing of a substrate in the solidification process of part of the components cause serious cracking and unstable forming of the material after printing, which causes great influence on the preparation of the material. The existing improvement case has high preparation difficulty, and the design of some components violate the design rule of materials and are mutually restricted, thereby not only causing the waste of resources, but also forming the restriction on the applicability of the materials. When a large amount of alloy elements are added into the material, component segregation is easily generated, so that the material has serious anisotropy, uneven structure and serious influence on the application of the material.
Therefore, a material which can meet the new requirements of aviation manufacturing and the requirements of an additive manufacturing process needs to be provided.
