- The foregoing features and elements may be combined in various combinations without exclusivity, unless expressly indicated otherwise. These features and elements as well as the operation thereof will become more apparent in light of the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, the following description and drawings are intended to be exemplary in nature and non-limiting.
- Various features will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of the disclosed non-limiting embodiment. The components in the drawings are not necessarily to scale. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The drawings that accompany the detailed description can be briefly described as follows:
-
FIG. 1 is a micrograph of a powder particle of aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075) in the as-atomized state with some alloy additions (bright), segregated to the boundaries; -
FIG. 2 is a system for treatment of atomized powders for an additive manufacturing process according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment; -
FIG. 3 is a micrograph of a heat treated as-atomized powder particle heat treated by the system ofFIG. 2 to eliminate segregation and condition the powder into a state more ideal for solid state consolidation; and -
FIG. 4 is a process for treatment of atomized powders for an additive manufacturing process according to one disclosed non-limiting embodiment. - With reference to
FIG. 1 , an issue with atomized powder may be that the microstructure of the individual powder particles can noticeably differ from the structure. For example, alloys can derive strength from additions that go into solid solution or precipitate out as well dispersed second phase particles can exhibit significant chemical segregation. For example, segregation is evident inpowder particle 12 of aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075) in the as-atomized state as some of the alloy additions (bright colored areas; 10) show clearly segregated boundaries. - For powder metallurgy techniques that require elevated temperatures i.e., melting or partial melting of the powder, the as-atomized feedstock condition may not be as much of a concern. However, for solid-state consolidation processes, such as cold spray that rely on plastic deformation of the powder particles, the feedstock microstructure may be relatively more critical. Excessive segregation in the as-atomized powder can be detrimental as clustering of alloy additions at the boundary/interface regions can result in a weakening or embrittling effect. The consequence may result in poor particle-particle bonding; in other words, the as-atomized powder microstructure inhibits the formation of robust bonds between particles.
- With reference to
FIG. 2 , asystem 20 for treatment, e.g., heat treatment, degassing, etc., have atomized powders for an additive manufacturing process is schematically illustrated. The additive manufacturing process sequentially builds-up layers of atomized alloy material that include but are not limited to, steel alloys, stainless steel alloys, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, aluminum alloys and others in atomized powder material form. Nickel alloys may have specific benefit for parts that operate in high temperature environments, such as, for example, environments typically encountered by aerospace and gas turbine engine components. - In one embodiment, the
system 20 is operable to heat treat as-atomized powder to eliminate the segregations (FIG. 1 ) and thereby condition the powder into a state that is more ideal for solid-state consolidation (FIG. 3 ). The approach described herein begins with as-atomized feedstock and allows the powder to be subjected to a heat treatment to include but not limited to homogenization, solutionizing, quenching, and aging. Specifically, the process 100 (FIG. 4 ) provides for a powder treatment that utilized a fluidized bed that feeds into a quench reservoir connected to a powder collector. - The
powder 30 to be processed is loaded into a fluidizedbed 32 via a valve 50 (Step 102;FIG. 4 ). Aninert gas 36 such a nitrogen or argon from atank 38 is introduced through ableed line 40 with a relatively small flow rate while avalve 42 is open andvalve 44 remains closed to avoid an initial gas burst in the fluidizedbed 32. Theinert gas 36 may be preheated or otherwise communicated into the fluidizedbed 32. - The
inert gas 36 is then directed into the fluidizedbed 32 byopening valve 44 and closing valve 42 (Step 104;FIG. 4 ). Amass flow controller 46 andpressure sensor 48 may be utilized to control the inert gas. The inert gas flow rate is determined, for example, to fluidize the powder based on the properties of the powder and the gas, the treatment conditions (temperature and pressure), and the internal diameter of the fluidized bed. The fluidizedbed 32 is then heated to a desired temperature for a desired time to achieve the desired treatment of the atomized powders, e.g., heat treatment, degassing, etc. (Step 106;FIG. 4 ). That is, the powder particles in the fluidizedbed 32 are in full fluidization while being heated to avoid conglomeration of the particles. - When the powder has had sufficient time at temperatures within the fluidized
bed 32, the powder is ejected by increasing the gas flow rate to thevalue 44. The particles leave thefluidized bed 32 throughcooling coils 60 of a quench reservoir 62. The quench reservoir 62 can be filled with a variety of mediums such as, but not limited to, water, ice water, oil, dry ice, liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, liquid helium, etc., to provide right quenching medium temperatures, coupled with powder ejecting rates to control the quenching rate of the powder particles (Step 108;FIG. 4 ). - A
valve 50 directs the inert gas exiting from thefluidized bed 32 to thefine powder collector 52 via the quenchedpowder collector 58 through a three-way valve 54, then vented through a water bubbler 56 (Step 110;FIG. 4 ). That is, the powder particles collected in thefine powder collector 52 and residual therefrom is collected in thewater bubbler 56 to avoid ejection into the environment. - The
system 20 enables the heat treatment of atomized powders to control powder particle microstructure for solid state consolidation applications. By controlling time, temperature, and cooling rate, the necessary regimen can be applied to the powder to influence chemical homogeneity, grain size, secondary phase growth, secondary phase distribution, etc. to attain the microstructural condition most favorable for desired solid-state consolidation. This process allows the powder particles to be subject to the same heat treat steps experienced by a conventional alloy ingot to include solutionizing, quenching, and aging. In addition, the process addresses key challenges of heat treating powder particles by working in an inert environment to limit oxidation and minimizing particle sintering, caking, and/or agglomeration. - The use of the terms “a,” “an,” “the,” and similar references in the context of description (especially in the context of the following claims) are to be construed to cover both the singular and the plural, unless otherwise indicated herein or specifically contradicted by context. The modifier “about” used in connection with a quantity is inclusive of the stated value and has the meaning dictated by the context (e.g., it includes the degree of error associated with measurement of the particular quantity). All ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the endpoints, and the endpoints are independently combinable with each other. It should be appreciated that relative positional terms such as “forward,” “aft,” “upper,” “lower,” “above,” “below,” and the like are with reference to normal operational attitude and should not be considered otherwise limiting.
- Although the different non-limiting embodiments have specific illustrated components, the embodiments of this invention are not limited to those particular combinations. It is possible to use some of the components or features from any of the non-limiting embodiments in combination with features or components from any of the other non-limiting embodiments.
- It should be appreciated that like reference numerals identify corresponding or similar elements throughout the several drawings. It should also be appreciated that although a particular component arrangement is disclosed in the illustrated embodiment, other arrangements will benefit herefrom.
- Although particular step sequences are shown, described, and claimed, it should be understood that steps may be performed in any order, separated or combined unless otherwise indicated and will still benefit from the present disclosure.
- The foregoing description is exemplary rather than defined by the limitations within. Various non-limiting embodiments are disclosed herein, however, one of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that various modifications and variations in light of the above teachings will fall within the scope of the appended claims. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described. For that reason the appended claims should be studied to determine true scope and content.
