(2) laser stereoforming test:
the laser stereolithography test equipment is from the solidification technology national key laboratory, and the system is composed of PRC4000CO2The laser, DPSF-2 type high precision adjustable automatic powder feeder, coaxial powder feeding nozzle mechanism, the laser wavelength is 10.6 μm. To make the texture more uniform, a braided path deposition was performed with the as-deposited TC4 titanium alloy having dimensions of 45mm by 85mm by 15 mm. The laser three-dimensional forming process parameters are as follows: the power is 1500W, the diameter of a light spot is 2mm, the thickness of a layer is 0.5mm, the Z-axis stroke is 2.5mm, the powder feeding speed is 10g/min, and the whole forming process is carried out in an argon atmosphere.
(3) Determining heat treatment parameters:
in order to determine the heat treatment parameters, the phase transformation point of the laser stereo-morphology TC4 titanium alloy is tested by using a differential thermal analysis method. The phase transition temperature is determined by Differential thermal analysis, in which a sample to be measured and another reference sample are heated under the same conditions by means of a Differential thermal analysis device, and the state of a substance is determined according to the change relationship between the temperature difference and the temperature or time (DSC). Differential thermal analysis process parameters: reference sample is Al2O3Powder, the heating rate is 20 ℃/min, and the protective argon flow is 50 ml/min. Description of the drawings fig. 1 is a DSC curve of a laser stereomorphic TC4 titanium alloy measured by differential thermal analysis, from which curve: for the TC4 titanium alloy, the alpha-phase to beta-phase transition is an endothermic reaction, and the DSC curve decreases and reaches an extreme value when the temperature is 897 ℃, which indicates that the phase transition temperature is around 900 ℃.
According to the size of the sample, the solid solution heat preservation time is 0.5 h. The aging treatment is to promote the decomposition and transformation of metastable beta phase after the solid solution treatment and the holding at a higher temperature for a period of time, so as to generate the strengthening effect, and the performance can change along with the change of the holding time. The aging temperature of the titanium alloy is generally selected to be 500-600 ℃, and the heat preservation is carried out for 3-12 h.
A10 mm by 10mm cube was cut out from a bulk of TC4 titanium alloy in the as-deposited state, and the microstructure of each of three surfaces (XY, YZ, XZ) was observed as shown in the drawing, which is schematically illustrated in FIG. 2. And dividing the samples into eight equal parts, dividing the samples into two groups AB and carrying out solid solution aging treatment. The aging temperature of the A group is set to 550 ℃, and the solid solution temperature is changed. The aging temperature of the B group is taken as a variable, the solid solution temperature is fixed at 800 ℃, and the specific parameters of the heat treatment are shown in Table 2.

The attached figure 3 shows that the laser three-dimensional forming TC4 titanium alloy microstructures in different directions under different group A solid solution temperatures and the laser three-dimensional forming TC4 titanium alloy microstructures in different directions without heat treatment.

The results of FIG. 3 show that: the structure becomes more uniform after heat treatment. Solution treatment non-diffusion shear due to rapid cooling forms α' lath martensite, and during subsequent aging these metastable phases transform into stable and dispersed secondary α phases, which exhibit a basket structure. After the solid solution aging treatment, the grains grow to different degrees compared with the microstructure in a deposition state, along with the increase of the solid solution temperature, the coarsening of the grains is more obvious, the grain size is increased, and the grains are compared with the microstructure in the deposition state. After the YZ plane solution aging treatment, the alpha-phase crystal boundary is clearer, the XZ plane structure is more uniform, and the content of the XY plane alpha-phase is increased. Along with the increase of the solid solution temperature, the crystal grains are gradually coarsened, and the phase boundary is clearer after corrosion.
Example two
(1) The steps (2) and (3) are also based on the steps (1), (2) and (3) of the embodiment 1, and are not described again here.
(4) Heat treatment test and determination of optimum heat treatment parameters:
the heat treatment test of group B is carried out, the solid solution temperature is 800 ℃, the solid solution heat preservation time is 0.5h, the aging temperature is 500 ℃, 550 ℃, 600 ℃, 650 ℃, and the aging heat preservation time is 3 h. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a laser stereolithography TC4 titanium alloy microstructure in different directions at different aging temperatures of group B and a laser stereolithography TC4 titanium alloy microstructure in different directions without heat treatment. FIG. 5 is a graph showing the variation of microhardness of a laser stereoformed TC4 titanium alloy with heat treatment parameters.
The results of FIG. 4 show that: the structure is alpha/alpha' lath martensite, the beta phase is retained between alpha lath grain boundaries, when the aging temperature is 500 ℃, the volume fraction occupied by the residual beta phase and the secondary alpha phase is higher, the secondary alpha phase is slender, the orientation is disordered, and the state of fine dispersion is presented. Along with the increase of the aging temperature, the precipitation of the secondary alpha phase is gradually reduced, the arrangement direction becomes single, and the trend of merging and coarsening appears. This is mainly due to the fact that in a fully equilibrated state, an increase in the ageing temperature reduces the nucleation rate of the secondary alpha, and the driving force for the transformation of the metastable beta phase to the secondary alpha is reduced. The coarsening of the crystal grains is obvious along with the increase of the aging temperature. The crystal grains are gradually combined and coarsened along with the increase of the aging temperature, and the phase boundary is clearer.
The results of FIG. 5 show that: the hardness in the YZ plane of the as-deposited state was 412.1HV, the XZ was 393.2HV, and the XY was 384.1HV, and the microhardness of the sample was significantly reduced after the solution aging treatment compared to the as-deposited state, since the lower the solution temperature (825 ℃ C.), the higher the aging temperature (650 ℃ C.), the more significant the decrease in microhardness was obtained after the solution aging treatment to obtain a basket structure. The microhardness rises with the rise of the solid solution temperature, and the hardness mainly plays a role in strengthening secondary alpha. The microhardness is reduced along with the increase of the aging temperature, mainly because the volume fraction of the secondary alpha is reduced due to the increase of the aging temperature, the dispersed and distributed small secondary alpha gradually disappears, and the dispersion strengthening effect is weakened. From the above-mentioned structural analysis, the YZ plane is a coarse regular bright and dark alternate columnar crystal structure and has the highest hardness, the XZ plane is an irregular columnar crystal structure and has a medium hardness, and the XY plane is a coarse isometric structure and has the lowest hardness.
The solid solution aging treatment is carried out on the TC4 titanium alloy in the laser three-dimensional form, the microstructure and the mechanical property of the titanium alloy are improved, and the analysis shows that the solid solution aging parameters No. 2 and No. 8 have the most obvious improvement on the structure property of the TC4 titanium alloy in the deposition state. The initial optimal solid solution aging parameters are as follows: the solid solution temperature is 825 ℃, the solid solution heat preservation time is 0.5h, the aging temperature is 550 ℃, and the aging heat preservation time is 3 h; the solid solution temperature is 800 ℃, the solid solution heat preservation time is 0.5h, the aging temperature is 650 ℃, and the aging heat preservation time is 3 h.
(5) Thermal deformation behavior of the laser stereo-forming shape TC4 titanium alloy under the optimal heat treatment parameters:
and selecting the sample under the two heat treatment parameters of No. 2 and No. 8 to carry out a thermal compression deformation test. The parameters of safe deformation zone in the hot working diagram (temperature 800 deg.C, strain rate 0.1 s) are selected as the hot compression parameters -160% deformation and 5min holding time) were subjected to a thermal compression test. FIG. 6 is a graph showing the true stress and true strain curves of a sample under optimum heat treatment process parameters; FIG. 7 is an IPF diagram of a laser stereo morphism TC4 titanium alloy before and after heat treatment and heat compression; the figure illustrates 8 is the grain size distribution ratio before and after thermal compression after the thermal treatment of the laser stereo-morphism TC4 titanium alloy; FIG. 9 is the orientation difference distribution before and after heat treatment of the laser stereo-morphism TC4 titanium alloy;
the results of the accompanying drawings, descriptions 6, 7, 8, 9, show that:
the true stress true strain curve shows that the peak stress of the No. 8 sample is the largest, the No. 2 sample is the smallest, the deposition state is centered, and the fact that the strength of the No. 8 heat treatment sample is the highest and the deformation resistance of the No. 2 heat treatment sample is small is indicated, so that the method is suitable for thermoplastic processing.
A YZ plane IPF diagram of a sample under No. 2 solid solution aging parameters (solid solution temperature: 825 ℃, heat preservation time: 0.5h, aging temperature: 550 ℃, heat preservation time: 3h) shows that the primary alpha phase grows and coarsens to form cross-distributed lath-shaped martensite, the average grain size is 1.06 mu m, and the orientations tend to be consistent. When the sample YZ plane IPF diagram shows that alpha-phase plate strips are also coarsened under the No. 8 solid solution aging parameters (the solid solution temperature is 800 ℃, the heat preservation time is 0.5h, the aging temperature is 650 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 3h), the average grain size is 0.70 mu m, and the complex difference of orientation distribution is large. The structure of an IPF (in-situ plasma) diagram of a large deformation zone of a sample subjected to thermal compression under the No. 2 solid solution aging parameter is uniform isometric crystals, which shows that the martensite laths are recrystallized after large deformation, the grains are finer and more uniform, and the average grain size is reduced to 0.36 mu m. The IPF diagram of the sample in the large deformation zone after hot compression under the No. 8 solid solution aging parameter shows that the crystal grains are finer, the average crystal grain size is 0.32 mu m, the fine crystal anisotropy is small, the strength is high, the toughness is good, the grain boundary area is large, and dislocation and intercrystalline slippage can be effectively prevented.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the proportion of the grain size distribution before and after thermal compression after the heat treatment of the laser stereomorphic TC4 titanium alloy in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the grains are mainly small-sized grains, the sizes are intensively distributed in the range of 0.05-3 μm, for the heat treatment sample pictures (a), (b), there are a few large-sized grains, which are caused by the abnormal growth of a few grains during aging, for the thermal compression sample pictures (c), (d), the grains are recrystallized due to large deformation and heat input, and the grains are distributed uniformly and finely.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the misorientation distribution of the laser three-dimensional forming TC4 titanium alloy after heat treatment and before and after heat compression, and for heat treatment sample graphs (a) and (b), the misorientation distribution mainly has large-angle grain boundaries, reaches more than ninety percent, has three obvious peaks and is a typical martensite structure misorientation distribution. For the hot-compressed samples, the high angle grain boundary fraction was reduced, and the graph (c) shows that the high angle grain boundary fraction was 73% for the hot-compressed samples under heat treatment parameter No. 2, indicating that recrystallization occurred and that the low angle grain boundaries were continuously transitioning to the high angle grain boundaries, indicating that continuous dynamic recrystallization occurred. In the graph (d), the sample was thermally compressed under heat treatment parameter No. 8, the proportion of large angle grain boundaries was 83%, the degree of recrystallization was reduced, and the large and small angle grain boundary transitions were not sufficiently continuous, as compared with the thermally compressed sample under heat treatment parameter No. 2.
In summary, the thermal deformation capability of the TC4 titanium alloy in the laser three-dimensional form is improved to some extent by the No. 2 thermal treatment process and the No. 8 thermal treatment process. The heat treatment parameter No. 2 is smaller in deformation resistance and more favorable for thermal deformation than the heat treatment parameter No. 8. In terms of microstructure, the alloy martensite lath structure under the heat treatment parameter No. 2 is more uniform and more consistent in orientation compared with the heat treatment parameter No. 8. In the thermal deformation process under the same thermal compression parameters, the No. 2 thermal treatment sample is subjected to continuous dynamic recrystallization, and isometric crystals in a large deformation area are fine and uniform. Therefore, the alloy has better thermal deformation performance under the heat treatment parameters No. 2 (the solid solution temperature is 825 ℃, the heat preservation time is 0.5h, the aging temperature is 550 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 3 h).
The results of example 1 and example 2 show that: the thermal deformation capability of the TC4 titanium alloy in the laser three-dimensional form is improved to a certain extent by the No. 2 solid solution aging parameter (solid solution temperature: 825 ℃, heat preservation time: 0.5h, aging temperature: 550 ℃, heat preservation time: 3h) and the No. 8 solid solution aging parameter (solid solution temperature: 800 ℃, heat preservation time: 0.5h, aging temperature: 650 ℃, heat preservation time: 3 h). However, in the thermal deformation process under the same thermal compression parameters, the No. 2 heat treatment sample is subjected to continuous dynamic recrystallization, and isometric crystals in a large deformation area are fine and uniform. Therefore, the alloy has better thermal deformation performance under the heat treatment parameters No. 2 (solid solution temperature: 825 ℃, heat preservation time: 0.5h, aging temperature: 550 ℃, heat preservation time: 3 h).
The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby; therefore, all the equivalent changes and modifications made in the claims of the present invention should be covered by the scope of the present invention.
