The invention belongs to but is not limited to the technical field of
nickel-based
alloy additive manufacturing, and discloses a heat treatment method and
system for reinforcing and
toughening an additive-formed heterogeneous
nickel-based
alloy, and the chemical components of the additive-manufactured
nickel-based
alloy are qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by utilizing EPMA; carrying out homogenization heat
treatment design by utilizing Thermo-Calc
software; based on the obtained heat treatment temperature and dendritic
crystal spacing, a linear curve of distribution of elements along with time
diffusion is obtained, and the optimal temperature and time of homogenization heat treatment of the nickel-based alloy are obtained; and respectively calculating TTT phase diagrams corresponding to dendritic
crystal nuclei and interdendritic
crystal regions by utilizing a TTT
phase diagram module in JMatPro
software, and obtaining the optimal temperature and time of the
stress relief heat treatment of the nickel-based alloy based on the characteristics of the precipitated phase of the nickel-based alloy. According to the method, a uniform
grain structure is obtained after the material is rapidly cooled, the
residual stress level in a component is reduced, and the strength and
toughness of the material are improved.
