The application discloses a high-strength and high-
toughness Al-Ca-In series aluminum
alloy low-
oxygen spherical
powder for additive manufacturing and a preparation method thereof, relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing
powder, and comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 1.5-3.0% of
magnesium, 0.15-0.60% of
manganese, 1.0-2.0% of
calcium, 0.06-0.25% of
indium, 0.08-0.18% of
zirconium and 0-0.05% of
titanium, and the balance of aluminum and impurities, wherein the total
oxygen is not more than 0.10%; the
powder surface has a
nitrogen-containing
diffusion barrier layer with a thickness of 2-8 nanometers and an ultrathin
oxide layer with a thickness of 0.5-2.0 nanometers in sequence, and the surface enrichment and interface capture indexes are limited; and the powder is prepared by high-temperature
dissolution of
manganese and
zirconium, low-temperature segmented
calcium addition,
nitrogen-containing gas atomization and low-temperature micro-oxidation. The powder inhibits the surface migration and oxidation loss of
calcium and
indium, improves the component stability in recycling and forming, reduces defects and performance dispersion, and is suitable for the high-strength and high-
toughness manufacturing consistency of thin-wall lattice load-bearing parts.
