The invention discloses a heat treatment process for improving the strength of an additive manufacturing
nickel-based
alloy FGH4098, and belongs to the technical field of
metal additive manufacturing and heat treatment. Comprising the following steps: forming an FGH4098
alloy blank by adopting a
selective laser melting (LPBF) technology; performing high-vacuum packaging treatment on the cleaned sample to construct a clean independent microenvironment; and then direct aging heat treatment at the temperature of about 760 DEG C is carried out. According to the method, a traditional high-temperature
solid solution step is abandoned, and a micron-sized
fine grain structure and a high-density
dislocation network which are unique to a printing state are completely reserved; meanwhile,
oxygen erosion in the heat treatment process is effectively isolated through vacuum packaging, oxidative depletion of key strengthening elements (Al and Ti) is prevented, and it is ensured that phases are fully dispersed and separated out in the pure environment. According to the invention, the problems of grain coarsening and
softening caused by high-temperature
solid solution and easy oxidative deformation in conventional aging in the prior art are solved, the tensile strength,
hardness and dimensional stability of the
alloy are remarkably improved, and short-process precision manufacturing of high-performance components is realized.
