Description

Photocuring 3D printing aluminum-based ceramic core and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing ceramic materials, in particular to a photocuring 3D printing aluminum-based ceramic core and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The high-temperature alloy hollow turbine blade is a key component of an aeroengine and a gas turbine, and the ceramic core is an indispensable high-technology product for preparing a complex air-cooled hollow inner cavity structure of the hollow turbine blade and is known as a core. The performance of the ceramic core directly affects the dimensional accuracy and the qualification rate of the inner cavity of the blade.
At present, ceramic cores for hollow turbine blades mainly include silica-based ceramic cores and alumina-based ceramic cores. Compared with the silicon dioxide-based ceramic core, the alumina-based ceramic core has higher fire resistance and high-temperature stability; however, alumina-based ceramic cores suffer from low flexural strength, low porosity, and are difficult to remove. Therefore, it is urgent to widen the range of use of the aluminum-based ceramic core: the strength of the aluminum-based ceramic core is ensured, and the porosity of the aluminum-based ceramic core is improved, so that the problem of removing the aluminum-based ceramic core after the alloy parts are cast is solved.
After the casting of the alloy part is completed, the ceramic core needs to be removed, and specifically, in a high-temperature and high-pressure core-removing reaction kettle, corrosive liquid in the reaction kettle has an opportunity to enter the ceramic core through an opening gap in the ceramic core so as to dissolve and remove the ceramic core. Therefore, open porosity has a greater impact on the removal performance of the ceramic core. However, an increase in the open porosity of the ceramic core may decrease the strength of the ceramic core.
In the prior art, in order to ensure the strength of the ceramic core and improve the porosity of the ceramic core, the sintering degree of ceramic particles is mainly controlled by controlling the technological parameters of degreasing and sintering, so that the balance between the porosity and the strength is obtained; however, the method has the defects of high operation difficulty and unstable process.
In addition, there are also prior art methods to improve the removal performance of ceramic cores by preparing internal topologies of ceramic cores to increase porosity. However, this method has the following problems: the topological structure can greatly reduce the strength of the ceramic core; in the photocuring 3D printing process, due to the fact that the exterior of the topological structure is closed, slurry is difficult to clean; the sintering shrinkage of the topological structure is difficult to control in the degreasing and sintering processes, so that the dimensional accuracy of the ceramic core is poor, and even a compact surface layer on the surface of the ceramic core is cracked.
