Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and particularly relates to a high-strength 3D printing aluminum alloy material, a printing method and an aluminum alloy part.
Background
3D printing techniques can be used to manufacture aluminum alloy parts with complex configurations, has important application in the fields of aerospace, aviation and the like. The 3D printing material widely used in the market at present is AlSi10Mg, the tensile strength of the material is 280MPa, and the defect of insufficient strength exists, and the traditional high-strength wrought aluminum alloy materials such as 2024 materials, 7075 materials and the like can generate a large amount of thermal cracks in the 3D printing process due to high thermal cracking tendency, so that the 3D printing material cannot be applied to 3D printing.
The existing 3D printing high-strength aluminum alloy material is mainly a patent material Scalmalloy developed by airbus, such as the existing patents CN111778433B,CN109487126B and the like also use Sc as a core element, since Al 3 Sc has a relatively low lattice mismatch with an Al matrix in Al 3 The energy barrier for nucleation on Sc particles is low, and meanwhile, the solubility of Sc in Al is low, so that a precipitate phase is favorably separated out, and on one hand, al is generated in the solidification process 3 Sc promotes heterogeneous nucleation of an Al matrix, and grains are refined, so that generation of thermal cracks is inhibited, and on the other hand, more Al is generated in the aging heat treatment process 3 Sc provides precipitation strengthening effect, but the unit price of Sc is extremely high, so that the unit price of the powder raw material even exceeds that of the titanium alloy powder, and the method cannot be widely applied. In addition, factors such as interaction of the added elements and other alloy elements, influence on the degree of supercooling of components, dynamic behavior in the heat treatment process and the like have different degrees of influence on the performance of the final material, and meanwhile, the compactness and the mechanical property of the aluminum alloy part are influenced by improper printing method. Therefore, it is important to develop a 3D printing material, a printing method, and an aluminum alloy part having high strength, no crack, and low cost.

The aluminum alloy material comprises the following components by design basis:
(1) Mg: mg plays a role in solid solution strengthening in the aluminum alloy material, but the elongation is not facilitated due to the excessively high Mg content, so that the Mg content is determined to be 3.5-8.0wt%.
(2) Hf, nb: the aluminum alloy material is formed by forming Al in the solidification process 3 Nb、Al 3 Hf or Al 3 (NbHf) to refine the crystal grains and provide an aging strengthening effect to improve the strength of the material; nb and Hf are more economical than Sc and have D0 22 Crystal structure of Al 3 Nb and Al 3 The lattice mismatch of Hf and Al (fcc) is very low, being-5% and-3.8%, respectively, compared with Al 3 The lattice mismatch of Sc and Al (fcc) was 1.3%, so Al 3 Nb and Al 3 The Hf particles can promote heterogeneous nucleation of Al, thereby suppressing the generation of thermal cracks.
When the content of Nb and Hf is too low, sufficient nucleation points cannot be provided so as not to completely eliminate thermal cracks, and in addition, sufficient second phase particles cannot be generated for strengthening in the subsequent aging heat treatment; if the content of Nb and Hf is too high, excessive and large second phase particles can be formed, even segregation of elements is formed, and the plasticity of the material is obviously reduced; thus, the Hf content of the present invention is determined to be 1.5 to 5.5wt%, the Nb of the present invention: 1.0 to 5.0wt%, and Hf and Nb may be added separately or simultaneously, and the total content of Hf + Nb at the time of addition is determined to be 10wt% or less.
(3) Fe, si: fe and Si are impurity components to be controlled, when the content is too high, larger and brittle intermetallic compound particles are formed, the particles and the interface of the particles and a substrate can be the origin of cracks and defects, and the toughness of the material is reduced, so that the Fe content is determined to be less than or equal to 0.3wt%, and the Si content is determined to be less than or equal to 0.2wt%.
