ALUMINUM INTERMETALLIC COMPOUND
[01] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of 3D printing, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a titanium-aluminum-based intermetallic compound.
[02] Titanium-aluminum intermetallic compounds have a low density, a high specific strength and specific elastic modulus. In addition, they have good anti- oxidation and creep properties and excellent fatigue properties, so they are widely used in the fields of aviation, aerospace, navigation, land transportation, etc.
[03] In the field of powder metallurgy, 3D printing technology, as an advanced material processing method, can be used to produce titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound components with a complex structure in a near net shape. Moreover, 3D printing technology has a short production cycle, high manufacturing accuracy, so it is cost-saving. In terms of the social ecological environment, 3D printing technology 1s more environmentally friendly.
[04] The current 3D printing of titanium-aluminum intermetallic compounds is mainly laser or electron beam printing. Titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound components are welded and manufactured by high-energy partial and layer-by-layer melting of the titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound powder. The printing method and equipment are extremely expensive, which restricts the industrial development of 3D printing of titanium-aluminum intermetallic compounds.
[05] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the present disclosure provides a low-cost indirect 3D printing method of a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound.
[06] The object of the present disclosure is to provide a low-cost indirect 3D printing method of a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound. Titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound components are prepared by using ordinary plastic 3D printing equipment, which can greatly reduce the cost of manufacturing titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound components.
[07] The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to overcome the problem of high cost of equipment for laser or electron beam 3D printing of a titanium- aluminum intermetallic compound in the prior art and to provide a low-cost 3D printing method of a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound.

[13] S4, performing solvent debinding and then thermal debinding of the green part of the titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound;
[14] S5, performing vacuum sintering of the Brown part of the titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound to consolidate the compound green part, cooling to room temperature, to obtain a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound component, performing hot isostatic pressing or gas isobaric forging (GIF) and shot blasting surface treatment, to finally obtain a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound component with high density, good mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.
[15] It should be noted that the present disclosure is processed by an ordinary pelletizer or crusher and a plastic 3D printer, which greatly reduces the cost of equipment, thereby greatly reducing the cost of the product, and the processing is very convenient.

[19] Further, in the step S4, the solvent debinding is non-polar solvent debinding.
The printed green part is immersed in a hexane solution at a certain temperature and flow rate, and the hexane temperature is controlled to be 40-60°C and the flow rate is controlled to be 0-20cm/s, maintaining 5-20h; the specific method of thermal debinding is to dry the green part for 30-90 min after solvent debinding, then put into a debinding and sintering furnace, and slowly heat to 550-650°C under the argon flushing, with the flow rate of argon of 120~150L/h.
[20] Further, in the step S5, the sintering furnace 1s adjusted to a vacuum degree of 10-4 -10-6 mbar during vacuum sintering, and slowly heated to 1300-1500°C, after sintering for 2-6 h, slowly cooled to obtain a titanium-aluminum intermetallic compound component.
[21] Further, in the step S5, the specific process of hot isostatic pressing is: temperature 1200-1350°C, pressure 150-200MPa, time 1-4h.
[22] Further, in the step 3, the temperature of the printing nozzle of the plastic 3D printer is 120-180°C.
[23] Further, in the step 2, the temperature of the injection nozzle of the injection molding machine or spinning machine is 120-180°C.
