The application discloses additive manufacturing 5-series aluminum
alloy powder material containing Ce and Yb elements and a preparation method thereof, and comprises the following steps: preparing a mixed material by weighing raw materials according to component proportions, and preparing Al-Mg-Sc-Yb-Ce-Mn-Si pre-
alloy powder through vacuum melting and
argon atomization, wherein the raw materials are as follows in terms of
mass fraction: Mg: 4-12%, Sc: 0.6-0.8%, Zr: 0.1-0.8%, Mn: 0.2-0.5%, Si: 0.3-1.0%, Yb: 0.03-0.8%, Ce: 0.03-0.8%, and the rest is Al and other impurities. The application adds a certain amount of
rare earth elements (Yb and Ce) and Mn and Si elements in the traditional AlMgScZr
alloy powder, forms a second phase with alloy elements, plays a role in refining grains and improving
crack resistance as a refining agent, controls the process, obtains powder with a certain particle size range through
airflow screening, carries out additive manufacturing according to a certain
process window, and through heat treatment, the strength of the additive manufacturing high-strength and high-
toughness aluminum alloy is improved to 550 MPa level while maintaining high
plasticity and
toughness.
