Description

用于改善增材制造钛合金组织的置氢轧压复合工艺Hydrogen rolling composite process for improving titanium alloy structure in additive manufacturing 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及增材制造领域,具体而言涉及对钛合金组织的改善处理,尤其是一种用于改善增材制造钛合金组织的置氢+轧压工艺方法。The invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing, in particular to improvement treatment of titanium alloy structure, in particular to a hydrogenation + rolling process method for improving titanium alloy structure of additive manufacturing.
背景技术Background technique
在增材制造过程中采用的热源种类包括激光、电弧、等离子、电子束等,且在增材制造过程中存在快速加热、快速冷却的超常冶金环境下,增材制造冶金质量差,组织粗大。涉及材料形式包括粉末和丝材,但不管光源和制品形式如何改变,其凝固过程的冶金特征基本相同:金属微区在集中热源的作用下被快速加热,急冷快速凝固,随后逐层沉积过程中历经多周期、变循环、剧烈加热和冷却,相邻层或几层发生循环重熔冷却,其它沉积层晶粒则被循环微热处理。循环重熔和微热处理,导致增材制造金属构件的显微组织结构独特。在钛合金为原料的增材制造过程中,激光选区熔化、激光沉积成形等晶粒垂直于基板界面生长成粗大的原始β晶粒、柱状晶,仅在底部和顶部出现少量等轴或细小晶粒,形成极不均匀的组织特征,这种粗大组织在能量密度更高的电子束、电弧增材工艺中,甚至发展成为贯穿柱状晶。尽管如此,极速冷却也为粗大晶粒内部带来了细小片层或者针状马氏体组织这一超常特殊组织,这也是为何增材制造钛合金结构件沉积态力学性能普遍高于铸件甚至锻件的主要因素。The types of heat sources used in the additive manufacturing process include laser, arc, plasma, electron beam, etc., and in the extraordinary metallurgical environment where rapid heating and rapid cooling exist in the additive manufacturing process, the metallurgical quality of the additive manufacturing is poor and the organization is coarse. The material forms involved include powder and wire, but no matter how the light source and product form change, the metallurgical characteristics of the solidification process are basically the same: the metal micro-area is rapidly heated under the action of a concentrated heat source, quenched and rapidly solidified, and subsequently layer-by-layer After multiple cycles, variable cycles, severe heating and cooling, cyclic remelting and cooling occurred in adjacent layers or layers, and the grains of other deposited layers were cyclically micro-heat treated. Cyclic remelting and micro-heat treatment lead to a unique microstructure of additively fabricated metal components. During the additive manufacturing process of titanium alloy as raw material, grains such as laser selective melting and laser deposition forming grow perpendicular to the substrate interface to form coarse original beta grains and columnar grains, and only a small number of equiaxed or fine grains appear at the bottom and top. Grains, forming extremely heterogeneous microstructure features, this coarse structure has even developed into penetrating grains in higher energy density electron beam and arc additive processes. Nevertheless, the ultra-fast cooling also brings a fine special layer or acicular martensite microstructure inside the coarse grains, which is why the mechanical properties of the deposited state of the additive manufacturing titanium alloy structural parts are generally higher than those of the castings and even forgings. The main factor.
围绕这一问题,现有技术已经开展了大量探索性研究,从增材制造工艺本身、添加强化颗粒细化晶粒及利用磁场、电场、超声、激光、微锻等方面进行微观组织的调控,试图解决增材制造冶金组织问题:Around this issue, a lot of exploratory research has been carried out in the existing technology, from the additive manufacturing process itself, the addition of reinforced particles to refine the grains, and the use of magnetic fields, electric fields, ultrasound, lasers, micro-forging and other aspects to regulate the microstructure, Attempts to solve the problem of metallurgical organization in additive manufacturing:
1、通过增材制造工艺参数的调控在一定程度上实现冶金组织改善。现有技术从控制成形过程工艺参数以及后续热处理工艺上试图通过工艺来降低柱状晶的尺寸。例如,P.A.Kobryn等人研究了Ti-6Al-4V合金激光熔覆的柱状晶产生规律,结果表明高温度梯度和大冷却速率有利于柱状晶的生长,高的扫描速度可降低柱状晶的大小;1. The improvement of metallurgical structure can be achieved to some extent through the control of additive manufacturing process parameters. The prior art attempts to reduce the size of the columnar crystals through the process of controlling the process parameters of the forming process and the subsequent heat treatment process. For example, P.A. Kobryn et al. Studied the law of columnar crystals produced by laser cladding of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The results show that high temperature gradients and large cooling rates are conducive to the growth of columnar crystals. High scanning speed can reduce the size of columnar crystals.
但通过工艺进行控制是从过冷度的角度进行组织调控,增材制造激光,电子束等高能热源加热,凝固速率在0.1ms-1到5ms-1,温度梯度已经在一个很高级别上,通过工艺参数调整很难实现细晶强化;However, the control through the process is to control the tissue from the perspective of subcooling. Additive manufacturing lasers, electron beams and other high-energy heat sources heat, the solidification rate is 0.1ms-1 to 5ms-1, the temperature gradient is already at a very high level It is difficult to achieve fine grain strengthening through adjustment of process parameters;
2、添加形核剂或合金化元素是实现增材制造组织细化的潜在途径,美国Banerjee等利用激光立体成型技术成功制备出Ti-TiB和Ti6Al4V-TiB复合材料,TiB增强体可以均匀分布在沉积态合金内,并可以在一定程度上细化组织。通过添加形核剂是从增加形核质点来实现组织改善,但添加形核剂会影响合金成分,对于合金成分要求严格的合金也不适合;2. Adding nucleating agents or alloying elements is a potential way to achieve the refinement of the structure of additive manufacturing. Banerjee and others in the United States have successfully prepared Ti-TiB and Ti6Al4V-TiB composite materials by using laser stereoforming technology. In the as-deposited alloy, the structure can be refined to some extent. The nucleating agent is added to increase the nucleation particles to improve the structure, but the addition of nucleating agent will affect the alloy composition, and it is not suitable for alloys with strict alloy composition requirements;
3、通过改善增材制造的原材料进微观组织的改善,例如中国专利CN201610032762.9提出的提高TC4钛合金室温塑性的循环热氢处理工艺,对TC4钛合金进行二次循环置氢处理,即对TC4钛合金进行一次置氢处理后,再除氢,然后再进行二次置氢处理,最后进行固溶淬火处理。本发明二次置氢处理方法改善了TC4钛合金中α相和β相的比例,增加了合金中塑性较好的β相的含量,减少了α′马氏体的含量,细化了晶粒,从而使其室温塑性进一步得到了改善;经二次循环热氢处理后,改善TC4钛合金的极限变形率提高22.1%,屈服强度降低11.1%,屈强比降低11.5%。但其缺陷在于仅利用氢在TC4合金后续热处理过程细化晶粒的作用,而不能利用氢在循环熔化沉积过程促进元素扩散和增加液/固界面成分过冷;氢化物形成与分解、置氢降低变形抗力并促进位错运动进而形成变形缺陷,从多维,多角度促进非自发形核,细化晶粒的作用。3. By improving the raw materials into the microstructure of additive manufacturing, such as the cyclic thermal hydrogen treatment process for improving the room temperature plasticity of TC4 titanium alloy proposed by Chinese patent CN201610032762.9, the TC4 titanium alloy is subjected to a second cycle hydrogen treatment, that is After the TC4 titanium alloy is subjected to hydrogen treatment for one time, the hydrogen is removed, then the hydrogen treatment is performed for the second time, and finally the solution quenching treatment is performed. The secondary hydrogen treatment method of the present invention improves the ratio of the α phase and the β phase in the TC4 titanium alloy, increases the content of the β phase with better plasticity, reduces the content of α ′ martensite, and refines the grains. Therefore, the plasticity at room temperature has been further improved; after the second cycle hot hydrogen treatment, the ultimate deformation rate of the improved TC4 titanium alloy is increased by 22.1%, the yield strength is reduced by 11.1%, and the yield ratio is reduced by 11.5%. However, its disadvantage is that it only uses the role of hydrogen to refine the grains in the subsequent heat treatment process of TC4 alloy, and cannot use hydrogen in the cyclic melting deposition process to promote element diffusion and increase the liquid / solid interface component undercooling; hydride formation and decomposition, and hydrogen storage. Reduce deformation resistance and promote dislocation movement to form deformation defects, promote non-spontaneous nucleation from multiple dimensions and multiple angles, and refine grains.
另外,赵嘉琪等人在中国专利CN201110419193.0提出置氢-热等静压改善铸造Ti 3Al合金微观组织的方法,包括:一、对铸造Ti 3Al合金进行热等静压工艺处理;二、将热等静压工艺处理后的Ti 3Al合金进行置氢处理;三、对置氢处理后的Ti 3Al合金进行固溶、时效处理;四、最后进行真空退火处理。利于热等静压工艺,修复铸造Ti 3Al合金中的孔洞等缺陷,提高了合金的致密度;另一方面又利用氢在铸造Ti 3Al合金中的可逆合金化作用以及各种相变,细化铸造Ti 3Al合金的微观组织,弥补晶粒粗大对合金性能带来的不利影响。但同样的其缺陷在于仅利用氢在Ti 3Al合金后续热处理过程细化晶粒的作用,而不能利用氢在循环熔化沉积过程促进元素扩散和增加液/固界面成分过冷;氢化物形成与分解、置氢降低变形抗力并促进位错运动进而形成变形缺陷,从多维,多角度促进非自发形核,细化晶粒的作用。 In addition, Zhao Jiaqi and others proposed in Chinese patent CN201110419193.0 a method of improving the microstructure of the cast Ti 3 Al alloy by hydrogen-hot isostatic pressing, including: 1. hot isostatic pressing of the cast Ti 3 Al alloy; The Ti 3 Al alloy treated by the hot isostatic pressing process is subjected to hydrogen treatment; three, the Ti 3 Al alloy treated with hydrogen is subjected to solution treatment and aging treatment; and finally, vacuum annealing treatment is performed. It is beneficial to the hot isostatic pressing process to repair defects such as pores in the cast Ti 3 Al alloy and improve the density of the alloy. On the other hand, it uses the reversible alloying effect of hydrogen in the cast Ti 3 Al alloy and various phase changes. Refine the microstructure of the cast Ti 3 Al alloy to make up for the adverse effect of coarse grains on the properties of the alloy. However, the same drawback is that only the role of hydrogen in the subsequent heat treatment of Ti 3 Al alloy is used to refine the grains, and hydrogen cannot be used to promote element diffusion and increase the liquid / solid interface component undercooling during the cyclic melting deposition process; Decomposition and placement of hydrogen reduce deformation resistance and promote dislocation movement to form deformation defects, promote non-spontaneous nucleation from multiple dimensions and multiple angles, and refine the role of grains.
以上三种办法虽然能够一定程度上改善增材制造组织,但都存在相应的问题,不能有效的改善增材制造钛合金组织。因此,能够改善增材制造钛合金组织的工艺方法亟待发掘。Although the above three methods can improve the structure of additive manufacturing to a certain extent, all of them have corresponding problems and cannot effectively improve the structure of titanium alloy for additive manufacturing. Therefore, the process that can improve the texture of titanium alloy by additive manufacturing needs to be explored urgently.

根据本发明的公开一种用于改善增材制造钛合金组织的置氢+轧压工艺方法,通过前置的钛合金粉末置氢处理后得到置氢钛合金粉末,利用置氢钛合金粉末进行增材制造+逐层轧压得到钛合金工件后,再对工件进行固溶处理,最后将固溶后的钛合金工件进行除氢热处理和退火,以改善增材制造钛合金显微组织。According to the invention, a hydrogenation + rolling process method for improving the titanium alloy structure of additive manufacturing is disclosed. The hydrogenated titanium alloy powder is obtained after the hydrogenation treatment of the front titanium alloy powder, and the hydrogenated titanium alloy powder is used. After additive manufacturing + layer-by-layer rolling to obtain titanium alloy workpieces, the workpieces are subjected to solution treatment, and finally the solution-treated titanium alloy workpieces are subjected to dehydrogenation heat treatment and annealing to improve the titanium alloy microstructure of additive manufacturing.
本公开的置氢+轧压工艺方法,一方面利用钛合金β相中氢具有较高溶解度,在该温度范围内置入不同比例的氢,可得到氢含量不同钛合金粉末。在3D打印过程中利用氢在熔化与凝固过程氢化物的析出与分解促进熔池内的形核,及成分过冷多方面促进形核,从而细化打印组织的晶粒;另一方面,在增材制造过程中,对金属沉积层逐层轧压,利用轧压增材材料的致密度,同时轧压会引起金属沉积层的位错等缺陷增加,在下一层打印过程中,由于缺陷降低形核能,可以提高形核率,从而进一步细化改善组织;最后经过通过真空退火将临时合金化元素氢除去,避免最终材料的化学成分的改变,同时利用氢在过程中细化改善打印件组织和轧压通过增加位错等缺陷降低形核能,提高形核率;两者交互作用达到改善组织不改变合金成分的目的。The disclosed hydrogenation + rolling process method, on the one hand, utilizes the relatively high solubility of hydrogen in the β phase of the titanium alloy, and different proportions of hydrogen are built in this temperature range to obtain titanium alloy powders with different hydrogen contents. During the 3D printing process, the use of hydrogen to precipitate and decompose hydrides during the melting and solidification process promotes nucleation in the molten pool, and supercooling of the component promotes nucleation in many ways to refine the grains of the printed tissue; on the other hand, During the material manufacturing process, the metal deposition layer is rolled layer by layer, and the density of the rolling additive material is used. At the same time, the rolling will cause defects such as dislocations in the metal deposition layer to increase. Nuclear energy can improve the nucleation rate and further refine and improve the structure. Finally, the temporary alloying element hydrogen is removed through vacuum annealing to avoid the change of the chemical composition of the final material. At the same time, the hydrogen is refined in the process to improve the organization and Rolling reduces the nucleation energy and increases the nucleation rate by increasing defects such as dislocations. The interaction between the two achieves the purpose of improving the structure without changing the alloy composition.

在增材制造领域,柱状晶和粗大原始晶粒的形成其根源在于冶金过程的热力学动力问题,增材制造过程微小熔池内的超常冶金条件和循环沉积导致温度和成分过冷不足,且非自发形核质点降低是核心问题。以上方法利用氢在钛合金中的溶解度,对钛合金粉末进行置氢处理。在3D打印过程中,一方面利用置氢促进元素扩散和增加液/固界面成分过冷;循环熔化沉积过程氢化物形成与分解、置氢降低变形抗力并促进位错运动进而形成变形缺陷,促进非自发 形核;另一方面利用逐层对金属沉积层的轧压,引起金属沉积层的变形,提高打印件的致密度,同时,轧压在沉积层中引入位错等缺陷,这将降低形核能,提高形核率,在下一层打印过程的微小熔池内,位错等缺陷的存在可细化打印层组织;通过以上两个方面的因素交互作用,以实现对增材制造组织的冶金控制和柱状晶/等轴晶的转变的精准控制。In the field of additive manufacturing, the formation of columnar grains and coarse primary grains is due to the thermodynamic dynamics of the metallurgical process. The abnormal metallurgical conditions and cyclic deposition in the micro-melt bath of the additive manufacturing process cause insufficient temperature and composition undercooling, and are not spontaneous. The reduction of nucleation particles is the core issue. The above method utilizes the solubility of hydrogen in the titanium alloy to treat the titanium alloy powder with hydrogen. In the 3D printing process, on the one hand, the use of hydrogen to promote the diffusion of elements and increase the liquid / solid interface component undercooling; the formation and decomposition of hydrides during the cyclic melt deposition process; the hydrogen to reduce the deformation resistance and promote the dislocation movement to form deformation defects, and promote Non-spontaneous nucleation; on the other hand, the rolling of the metal deposition layer by layer will cause the deformation of the metal deposition layer and increase the density of the print. At the same time, the rolling will introduce defects such as dislocations in the deposition layer, which will reduce Nucleation energy, improve the nucleation rate, in the tiny molten pool of the next layer printing process, the existence of defects such as dislocations can refine the print layer organization; through the interaction of the above two factors, to achieve metallurgy of the additive manufacturing organization Control and precise control of columnar / equiaxed crystal transitions.
由于合金材料的强度与晶粒尺度的关系符合Hall-Petch关系,晶粒越细,合金的强度就越高;而且只有晶粒细化,才能同时提高材料的强度和塑性。在本发明前述的实施例中,氢的置入和逐层轧压处理可以在打印过程中非常有效的细化晶粒,改善组织,提高材料性能;且通过最后的除氢处理并不改变钛合金的成分。Because the relationship between the strength of the alloy material and the grain size conforms to the Hall-Petch relationship, the finer the grains, the higher the strength of the alloy; and only when the grains are refined can the strength and plasticity of the material be improved at the same time. In the foregoing embodiments of the present invention, the placement of hydrogen and the layer-by-layer rolling treatment can very effectively refine the grains during the printing process, improve the structure, and improve the material properties; and the titanium is not changed by the final hydrogen removal treatment. Composition of the alloy.
