Description

Composite treatment process for AM austenitic stainless steel regulated and controlled by residual stress
Technical Field
The invention belongs to additive manufacturing technology, and particularly relates to a composite treatment process for Additive Manufacturing (AM) austenitic stainless steel aiming at residual stress regulation.
Background
Austenitic stainless steel (austenitc stainless steel) has excellent corrosion resistance, good toughness and easy workability, and is widely used in various light industries such as chemical industry, energy, ships, food, medical industry, and the like, and advanced manufacturing industry, and the like. However, austenitic stainless steel has low surface hardness, and is insufficient in wear resistance and fatigue resistance in practical application, and further application is limited.
The rapid development of science and technology has led to an increasing interest in Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology. The additive manufacturing technology overcomes the trouble caused by the traditional technology for manufacturing metal parts with complex shapes, and can directly form the metal parts which are nearly fully compact and have good mechanical properties. However, extensive research has shown that the surface of additively manufactured parts inevitably has a large tensile residual stress (> 500 MPa). And the existence of larger tensile residual stress ensures that the parts are easy to be subjected to fatigue damage in actual working conditions, thereby seriously affecting the service life and the reliability of equipment.
The post heat treatment mode can effectively reduce the overall tensile residual stress level, thereby improving the fatigue life of the parts. But only by means of heat treatment, there is a limited improvement in fatigue performance. Riemer et al, onthafacigulrackwhbehaviorin 316Lstainlesssteelmanufacturedby selectivelasermelting, in which AM austenitic stainless steel is heat treated at 650℃, found that only about 10% improvement in fatigue performance was achieved and the desired strengthening effect was not achieved.
Surface strengthening can improve the fatigue life of parts by introducing surface compressive residual stress. The surface strengthening process is widely used in parts conventionally manufactured, and Huang et al in Fatigue behaviorsofAISI Lstainless steelwithagnradientnanostructuredsurfacelayer demonstrate the effectiveness of surface strengthening for fatigue performance improvement by surface strengthening austenitic stainless steel. However, for additive manufactured parts with complex structures, it is difficult to obtain effective strengthening effect by the conventional surface strengthening method.

and a first step of carrying out heat treatment on the austenitic stainless steel forming component manufactured by the additive with the tensile residual stress of more than 500MPa, wherein the heat treatment temperature is 850-950 ℃, the heat preservation is carried out for 1-4 hours, then air cooling is carried out, the component after heat treatment is obtained, the tensile residual stress is controlled within 50MPa, and the second step is carried out.
Step two, the component after heat treatment is subjected to electrolytic polishing treatment, and 0.1 to 0.5A/cm is used 2 The current density of the steel sheet is treated for 2 to 6 hours to obtain an electropolished component, so that the surface roughness of the electropolished component can be effectively reduced, and the third step is carried out.
And thirdly, performing low-temperature gas carburizing treatment on the member subjected to electrolytic polishing to obtain a member subjected to compound treatment, and introducing compressive residual stress of more than 2000MPa on the surface of the member subjected to compound treatment to obtain the AM member with the reinforced surface.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the remarkable advantages that:
(1) After the heat treatment (1-4 h at 850-950 ℃) in the composite treatment process provided by the invention is used, the integral residual stress level of the AM austenitic stainless steel component can be reduced from the original value of 500MPa to 50MPa or less. The stress level of the component in the service process can be remarkably reduced through greatly reducing (more than 95%) the tensile residual stress, so that the fatigue resistance of the component is improved.
(2) After the low-temperature gas carburization surface strengthening treatment in the composite treatment process provided by the invention, a uniform strengthening layer with the thickness of 30 micrometers can be introduced on the surface of an AM austenitic stainless steel component with a complex structure, and the strengthening layer has compressive residual stress of more than 2000 MPa. By introducing extremely large compressive residual stress, the initiation of fatigue cracks can be effectively inhibited, and the fatigue resistance of the component is improved.
(3) After the composite treatment process (heat treatment and low-temperature gas carburization) is used, huge compressive residual stress (> 2000 MPa) can be introduced on the surface while the overall tensile stress level (< 50 MPa) is reduced. After the composite treatment, the special distribution of the residual stress can obviously improve the fatigue resistance of the component, and the fatigue limit can be improved by more than 30%.

Further, the heat treatment furnace is heated to 850-950 ℃ at a heating rate of 5-15 ℃/min, and the heating rate can ensure the uniformity of temperature.
A second step of placing the heat-treated AM component obtained in the first step in an electrolytic polishing solution at a concentration of 0.1-0.4A/cm 2 The current density of (2) is treated for 2 to 6 hours to obtain an AM component after electrolytic polishing, and the step can reduce the surface roughness of the component.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, a composite treatment process for AM austenitic stainless steel for residual stress regulation, comprising the following steps:
sample preparation: a 316L austenitic stainless steel forming member was made using a selective laser melting additive manufacturing method.
A sample model with the size of 10mm by 10mm is modeled by computer CAD software, then the model is layered according to a slice with the thickness of 30 mu m of each layer, the rotation of 66.7 degrees is arranged between the layers, and a scanning path is planned by using special software for additive manufacturing. The 316L austenitic stainless steel coupon preparation was then performed using SLM-125HL additive manufacturing equipment. The set additive manufacturing printing parameters are as follows: the laser power was 200W, the scanning speed was 800mm/s, the layer thickness was 30 μm, and the scanning pitch was 120. Mu.m.
The first step: heat treatment for the purpose of reducing residual stress of the sample

And a second step of: electrolytic polishing treatment for the purpose of reducing the surface roughness of a sample
Conventional mechanical polishing processes have difficulty in reducing additive manufactured specimens having complex structures, and thus use electrolytic polishing to remove the surface roughness of the specimens. Placing the sample after the first heat treatment in electrolyte (90 ml of phosphoric acid, 75ml of distilled water, 70ml of sulfuric acid and 265ml of glycerin), heating to 45deg.C in water bath, and maintaining 0.14A/cm 2 The surface-treated sample was obtained by treating the sample with a current density for 4 hours, and the oxide layer resulting from the heat treatment was removed by electrolytic polishing.

FIG. 3 shows the microstructure of the reinforced layer after the compounding treatment according to the present invention. The fatigue effect after the composite strengthening treatment can be shown in fig. 5, and it can be found that the fatigue failure cycle number of the original sample is 1.3E5 under the same stress of 300MPa after the composite treatment, and the fatigue failure cycle number is 1E7 after the composite treatment, so that the service life is improved by 100 times, and the fatigue limit is reached. And the fatigue failure cycle numbers are 5.9E5 and 1.7E6 respectively only by means of heat treatment and surface strengthening, and are improved by about 5 times and 10 times. Therefore, the fatigue life of the parts can be effectively prolonged by the mode of compound treatment.
