Description

Titanium alloy powder for 3D printing and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal 3D printing, in particular to titanium alloy powder for 3D printing and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Titanium accounts for about 0.6 percent of the total mass of the earth crust, is second only to the contents of aluminum, iron and magnesium, and is a widely applied metal material. The density of the titanium alloy is 4.5g/mm 3 (about half of high-temperature alloy and steel) and high strength, greatly reduces the weight of the material and realizes good economic and environmental benefits while meeting the requirement of the designed strength of the material, thereby being widely applied to the industrial fields of aviation, aerospace, war industry, biomedicine and the like. The titanium alloy formed by the titanium element and other elements has the characteristics of strong corrosion resistance, good heat resistance, low elastic modulus, no magnetism and the like, and the specific strength after solution treatment and aging strengthening is far higher than that of high-strength aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and high-temperature alloy, and even is equivalent to that of ultrahigh-strength steel. However, titanium alloy has certain disadvantages in processing, the elastic modulus of the titanium alloy is small and is about half of that of iron, and certain deformation resilience exists in the machining process, so that machining precision errors are easily caused; therefore, in the actual production process, the production efficiency and the material utilization rate of the titanium alloy are low, the processing period is long, and the application of the titanium alloy in the fields of national defense industry and the like is severely restricted. The emerging 3D printing technology can overcome some problems of the titanium alloy in the processing process to the maximum extent.
3D printing is an additive manufacturing technique that obtains three-dimensional parts by adding material layer by layer. Commonly seen 3D printed materials are wires, powdered metals, plastics, ceramics, etc. In the aspect of metal 3D printing, common 3D printing processes include laser selective melting (SLM), droplet discharge bonding (3 DP), and the like, in which metal powder is used as a molding material. Although 3D printing technology has gained rapid development in recent years, the development of materials is relatively slow, limiting the widespread use of 3D printing technology. Taking 3DP as an example, in the printing process, since the throat or the nozzle part is easily blocked by the metal powder (the schematic diagram of the 3DP printing device is shown in fig. 1), the part which is most easily blocked is the connection part of the throat and the nozzle, the printing yield is low, and the application of the 3D printing technology in the preparation of the titanium alloy device is limited to a certain extent.
