Description

High-performance Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy for additive manufacturing
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and relates to a high-performance Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy for additive manufacturing.
Background
The aluminum alloy has the advantages of low cost, high specific strength, low density, corrosion resistance, repeated use and the like, is a preferred material for realizing light weight, and is widely applied to industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic devices and the like. In recent years, the production requirements of the high-precision tip fields such as aerospace and the like on aluminum alloy components with complex structures are higher and higher, and the requirements of the traditional manufacturing process are difficult to meet. In this case, metal additive manufacturing techniques are widely studied and used, which can produce complex optimized geometries that cannot be manufactured by conventional manufacturing techniques. Selective laser melting technology is one of the most popular metal additive manufacturing technologies at present. Because of the characteristic of high manufacturing precision, the method is very suitable for producing components with complex shapes, and provides a new way for the integration and the light weight of complex aluminum alloy parts.
For the laser selective melting technology of aluminum alloys, the most widely used is near-eutectic Al-Si alloy at present, and the narrow solidification range gives low hot tearing sensitivity and better forming capability. However, the alloy has low strength and poor ductility, cannot meet performance requirements, and needs to develop a high-strength aluminum alloy suitable for selective laser melting technology. At present, most of high-strength aluminum alloys suitable for laser selective melting are mostly ageing-reinforced aluminum alloys, the strength of the printed state of the high-strength aluminum alloys is low, and the high strength is mainly derived from a precipitated phase separated out in the subsequent heat treatment process, so that the process is complicated. In order to simplify the process and reduce the process cost, it is necessary to develop a high strength aluminum alloy that does not require heat treatment.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides an Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy for additive manufacturing, which takes transition group elements V, cr and Fe as alloy elements. The alloy has high strength in the printed state without subsequent heat treatment, and the high strength is derived from a large volume fraction second phase generated in the solidification process.
The Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy for additive manufacturing comprises, by mass, 4-8% of V and 4-8% of Cr:2-6%, fe:2-8%, and the balance of Al and non-removable impurity elements.
The preparation method of the Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy comprises the following steps:
preparing master alloy cast ingots according to the alloy ratio, preparing powder by gas atomization, and preparing alloy blocks by the obtained alloy powder by adopting a laser selective melting technology.
Preferably, the master alloy cast ingot is prepared by arc melting according to the alloy proportion.
Preferably, the powder is prepared by gas atomization in an argon atmosphere, and the particle size of the powder is 15-60 mu m.
Preferably, the laser selective melting forming is carried out under argon atmosphere, and the printing process parameters are as follows: the preheating temperature of the substrate is 80 ℃, the laser power is 200-400W, the scanning speed is 1000-3000 mm/s, the scanning interval is 100 mu m, the layer thickness is 10-60 mu m, and the adjacent layers are scanned and rotated by 67 degrees.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the advantages that: the alloy has high strength and good plasticity in the printing state, the tensile strength is 407-662MPa, and the elongation is 1.1-12.9%. The ultrahigh processing degree of freedom combined with the selective laser melting technology can theoretically form and manufacture parts with any complex shape at one time without heat treatment.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the following examples, which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
The Al-V-Cr-Fe alloy for additive manufacturing comprises, by mass, 4-8% of V and 4-8% of Cr:2-6%, fe:2-8%, and the balance of Al and non-removable impurity elements.
The design basis of the components is as follows:
conventionally, V, cr and Fe are all considered as transition group elements, and have low solubility in aluminum alloy, and can react with Al in a metallurgical way in the solidification process to precipitate in the form of a second phase, which is often very coarse and greatly worsens alloy plasticity. And under the condition of high cooling speed of the selective laser, the second phase does not have time to grow up, is of nano scale, and is favorable for improving the toughness of the alloy. The design of the components of the aluminum alloy for selective laser melting has no definite mechanism, and the alloy design mainly depends on experimental screening. The invention determines the selected alloy elements and the corresponding composition ranges on the basis of a large number of experiments, and the experimental results show that the optimal mechanical properties can be obtained only by selecting three alloy elements of V, cr and Fe under the given composition ranges.
