Description

3D printing method of high-corrosion-resistance high-strength low-elasticity-modulus titanium alloy powder and titanium alloy
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of titanium alloy materials, and particularly relates to a 3D printing method of high-corrosion-resistance high-strength low-elasticity-modulus titanium alloy powder and a titanium alloy.
Background
Titanium alloys have been widely used in the biomedical field because of their high specific strength, excellent biocompatibility and high corrosion resistance. Pure titanium and TiAl-based alloys, which are most widely used, have some problems, such as low strength and narrow service range of pure titanium components; the TiAl-based alloy has high elastic modulus, so that the biological stress is difficult to transfer to bone tissues to cause stress shielding, and meanwhile, the release of Al ions is continuously reported to cause certain influence on the health of human bodies in recent years. Therefore, the development of a titanium alloy which has high strength and low elastic modulus and does not contain any toxic element has important significance in the field of biomedicine.
The TiNb-based alloy is a novel beta-type titanium alloy, has higher biocompatibility and lower elastic modulus, and is a biomedical material with development prospect. Current research on TiNb-based alloys has focused primarily on traditional manufacturing techniques such as casting, forging, extrusion, and the like. The main challenges of the above process for forming TiNb-based alloys are: (1) component segregation exists in the forming process, so that the mechanical property of the final sample is poor; (2) the TiNb-based alloy has poor hot processing performance, and the subsequent processing process of a formed workpiece is difficult; (3) the process flow is complex, the material utilization rate is low, and the cost of a formed sample is overhigh; (4) the forming of workpieces with complex structures is difficult, and parts of the workpieces with complex structures can not be formed even by the traditional process.
However, in recent years, with the continuous update of biomedical components, more complex and high-performance titanium alloy workpieces are required to be designed in a light weight manner, and hollow parts are required to reduce weight, so that a severe test is provided for the forming process. The 3D printing technology is becoming an effective way for solving the forming problem of the biomedical titanium alloy precision complex structure lightweight component.
Therefore, the development of a titanium alloy which has high corrosion resistance, high strength and low elastic modulus and does not contain any toxic element and a 3D printing method thereof have important significance in the field of biomedicine. However, how to obtain high strength and reasonably reduce the elastic modulus of the material is a great key problem in the development of biomedical materials, and particularly, no relevant report exists on the research of high-corrosion-resistance, high-strength and low-elastic-modulus titanium alloy and 3D printing thereof.

EPMA analysis of the formed sample revealed that the obtained titanium alloy had a composition of 69.48% Ti, 12.19% Nb, 12.17% Zr, 5.91% Ta and 0.25% O.
Compared with example 1, the content of metallic tantalum is slightly reduced, the content of beta-phase stabilizing elements is reduced, the content of low-elastic-modulus beta-phase is reduced, and the phase composition after 3D printing is shown in figure 2(6 Ta). Meanwhile, the metallic tantalum content was decreased, the heterogeneous nucleation point was decreased, and the alloy nucleation rate was decreased, and thus, the crystal grains were increased as compared with those obtained in example 1, and the average grain size was 0.112 μm as measured by ImageJ, as shown in fig. 3(c) and (c'). The alloy finally obtained has strength of 960MPa and elastic modulus of 78 GPa.
Example 3
This example 3 differs from example 1 in the content of Ti-13Nb-13Zr prealloy and the content of the hydrogenated dehydrogenated metallic tantalum powder: in this example, Ti-13Nb-13 Zr: 96%, metallic tantalum: 4 percent. EPMA analysis of the formed sample revealed that the obtained titanium alloy had a composition of 70.97% Ti, 12.45% Nb, 12.43% Zr, 3.93% Ta and 0.22% O.
Compared with examples 1 and 2, the content of the metallic tantalum is continuously reduced, the content of the beta-phase stabilizing element is reduced, the content of the low-elasticity-modulus beta-phase is reduced, and the phase composition after 3D printing is shown in figure 2(4 Ta). The metallic tantalum content was further reduced, the heterogeneous nucleation point was further reduced, and the alloy nucleation rate was further reduced, compared to examples 1 and 2, and thus, the crystal grains were increased, compared to those obtained in examples 1 and 2, and the average grain size was 0.134 μm as measured by ImageJ, as shown in fig. 3(b) and (b'). The alloy finally obtained has the strength of 900MPa and the elastic modulus of 82 GPa.
Example 4
This example 4 differs from example 1 in the content of Ti-13Nb-13Zr prealloy and the content of the hydrogenated dehydrogenated metallic tantalum powder: in this example, Ti-13Nb-13 Zr: 98%, metallic tantalum: 2 percent. EPMA analysis of the formed sample revealed that the obtained titanium alloy had Ti 72.45%, Nb 12.68%, Zr 12.66%, Ta 1.99%, and O0.22%.
Compared with examples 1, 2 and 3, the content of the metallic tantalum is continuously reduced, the content of the beta-phase stabilizing element is reduced, the content of the low-elasticity-modulus beta-phase is reduced, and the phase composition after 3D printing is shown in figure 2(2 Ta). The metallic tantalum content was further reduced, the heterogeneous nucleation point was further reduced, and the alloy nucleation rate was further reduced, compared to examples 1, 2 and 3, and thus, the crystal grains were increased, compared to those obtained in examples 1, 2 and 3, and the average grain size was 0.185 μm as measured by ImageJ, as shown in fig. 3(a) and (a'). The alloy finally obtained had a strength of 870MPa and an elastic modulus of 87 GPa.
Example 5

EPMA analysis of the formed sample revealed that the obtained titanium alloy had a composition of 66.47% Ti, 11.51% Nb, 11.48% Zr, 9.87% Ta and 0.64% O.
In comparison with example 1, the increase in metallic tantalum content beyond the highest boundary value of metallic tantalum calculated for CALPHAD is likely to cause a hard brittle phase w in the formed alloy, resulting in a sharp increase in the elastic modulus of the alloy. The alloy finally obtained has the strength of 1180MPa and the elastic modulus of 100 GPa.
Example 6
This example 6 differs from example 1 in the content of Ti-13Nb-13Zr prealloy and the content of the hydrogenated dehydrogenated metallic tantalum powder: in this example, Ti-13Nb-13 Zr: 100%, metallic tantalum: 0 percent. EPMA analysis of the formed sample revealed that the obtained titanium alloy had a composition of 73.93% Ti, 12.95% Nb, 12.92% Zr and 0.20% O.
Compared with the examples 1 to 4, the alloy in the embodiment has no metal tantalum added, no beta phase stabilizing element, low elastic modulus beta phase content reduced, and high elastic modulus alpha martensite content remarkably improved, and the composition of the phase after 3D printing and forming is as shown in figure 2(Ti-3Nb-13Zr), compared with the examples 1 to 4, the alloy nucleation rate is further reduced, and the crystal grain is obviously increased, but due to the precipitation of the high strength alpha martensite phase, the finally obtained alloy strength is 1100MPa, and the elastic modulus is increased to more than 100 GPa.
The 3D printed titanium alloys obtained in examples 1-6 were tested for biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. Biocompatibility test method: growing and proliferating cells on the surface of the alloy material, and carrying out cell statistics after a certain time; the corrosion resistance test method comprises the following steps: electrochemical corrosion-voltammetry curve. The results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003288643840000071
As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the titanium alloy prepared in the embodiments 1-5 has better biocompatibility and corrosion resistance; the biocompatibility and corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy prepared in example 6 are obviously reduced.
Meanwhile, the corrosion resistance and the biocompatibility of the alloy are gradually enhanced along with the increase of the content of the metal tantalum, so that the corrosion resistance and the biocompatibility of the alloy can be improved while the high strength and the low elastic modulus of the alloy can be realized by reasonably increasing the content of the metal tantalum within the boundary condition range of the metal tantalum.
Example 7
The present embodiment 7 differs from embodiment 1 in the process conditions for 3D printing: no substrate heat treatment was performed during the BLT-S210 equipment adjustment. Compared with example 1, the substrate of the present example is not heated, the cooling rate is further increased, the hard brittle phase w phase is formed in the alloy, the strength (1000-1100MPa) and the elastic modulus (more than 110GPa) of the alloy are obviously improved, the elongation is obviously reduced (less than 2%), and the alloy has almost no processability.
Example 8
The present embodiment 8 is different from embodiment 1 in the process conditions of 3D printing: in the 3D printing process, the forming process parameters are as follows: the laser power is 275W, the laser scanning speed is 1200mm/s, the laser scanning interval is about 0.13mm, the scanning layer thickness is about 0.03mm, and the scanning mode adopts a zigzag scanning mode of rotating by 67 degrees layer by layer. EPMA analysis shows that the incomplete melting of the niobium element and the tantalum element in the obtained alloy is obvious, the segregation of alloy components is serious, and the finally obtained titanium alloy has the properties that the strength is less than 500MPa and the elongation is less than 3%.
Compared with embodiment 1, the laser power is reduced, the laser scanning speed is increased, the laser energy density is reduced, the alloy strength is obviously reduced, and the service environment of the alloy is limited.
Example 9
The present embodiment 9 is different from embodiment 1 in the process conditions of 3D printing: in the 3D printing process, the forming process parameters are as follows: the laser power is 400W, the laser scanning speed is 1200mm/s, the laser scanning interval is about 0.13mm, the scanning layer thickness is about 0.03mm, and the scanning mode adopts a zigzag scanning mode of rotating 67 degrees layer by layer. EPMA analysis of the formed sample shows that the obtained alloy has a titanium element content reduced by about 5% compared with the preset content, a zirconium element content reduced by about 3% compared with the preset content, and the finally obtained titanium alloy has the properties of strength less than 650MPa and elongation less than 4%.
Compared with the embodiment 1, the laser power is higher, the laser energy density is increased, the over-burning phenomenon, the keyhole and other metallurgical defects appear in a molten pool, the density of the formed alloy is reduced, the alloy strength and the elongation are reduced, and meanwhile, the element is easily gasified and deviates from the preset alloy composition due to the increase of the laser energy density.
Comparative example 1
The difference between the comparative example 1 and the example 1 is that according to the proportion of 68.08% of Ti, 11.96% of Nb, 11.96% of Zr and 8% of Ta, gas atomized spherical pure Ti, Nb and Zr metal powder and hydrogenated dehydrogenated Ta metal powder are respectively adopted for ball milling and powder mixing, the hardness of the pure Ti powder is low, the damage to the sphericity in the ball milling process is serious, meanwhile, four kinds of powder are ball milled, a large amount of powder is still single powder particles, the mixing is not uniform, and the 3D printing technological parameters which are the same as those of the example 1 are adopted for printing and forming. EPMA analysis is carried out on the formed sample, and the result shows that the obtained titanium alloy has serious component segregation, the finally obtained titanium alloy has the performance that the strength is less than 700MPa, and the elongation is less than 5%. Meanwhile, as the melting points of pure titanium, pure zirconium, pure niobium and pure tantalum are greatly different, pure metal powder is adopted for mixing, the 3D printing forming process parameters are difficult to regulate, and the forming process is easy to cause the gasification of low-melting-point elements, so that the formed alloy deviates from the preset alloy components.

The difference between this comparative example 2 and example 1 is that a spherical tibb pre-alloy, spherical pure Zr and hydrogenated dehydrogenated polygonal pure Ta powder were ball milled and mixed in the proportions of 68.08% Ti, 11.96% Nb, 11.96% Zr, and 8% Ta, and the resulting powder was printed and formed using the same 3D printing process parameters as in example 1. The high melting point difference between zirconium and tantalum is liable to cause incomplete melting of tantalum or gasification of zirconium. EPMA analysis is carried out on the formed sample, and the result shows that the obtained titanium alloy has serious component segregation, the finally obtained titanium alloy has the performance that the strength is less than 730MPa, and the elongation is less than 5%.
Comparative example 3
The difference between the comparative example 3 and the example 1 is that prealloy powder is prepared by plasma atomization according to the proportion of 68.08% of Ti, 11.96% of Nb, 11.96% of Zr and 8% of Ta, the 3D printing process parameters same as those of the example 1 are adopted for printing and forming, the forming effect is good, the elastic modulus of the alloy is less than 75GPa, but the alloy strength is not high, and the finally obtained alloy strength is less than 800 MPa. This is due to the lack of heterogeneous nucleation sites during solidification, the resulting alloy grains being coarser compared to example 1, the lack of fine grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening, resulting in lower alloy strength.
Aiming at the problem that the high melting point difference between titanium alloy and metal tantalum cannot be formed by adopting a traditional processing mode, and serious composition segregation is easily caused to cause the alloy performance to be deteriorated, the invention provides a 3D printing technology which comprises selective laser melting and provides optimized process parameters, and the process parameters provided by the invention can realize high-density forming, have no obvious composition segregation, have the tensile strength of more than 1000MPa and have the elastic modulus of less than 75 GPa.
The metallic tantalum is added into the pre-alloyed Ti-13Nb-13Zr alloy, so that the biocompatibility and the corrosion resistance of the alloy are enhanced, meanwhile, the metallic tantalum is a beta-phase stable element with the same crystal form, the formation of a high elastic modulus alpha phase in the alloy can be inhibited, the elastic modulus of the alloy is reduced, meanwhile, the high-melting-point metallic tantalum is used as a heterogeneous nucleation point in the solidification process, the formation of fine grains can be promoted in the 3D printing process, and the high strength of the alloy is maintained.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention and not for limiting, and although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made on the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should be covered by the claims of the present invention.
