Embodiment 3

[0034] Put the acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) into the cryogenic treatment equipment, cool down to -190°C at a rate of 0.5°C / min, keep the temperature constant for 23 hours, and then cool naturally to room temperature.

[0035] Put the naturally cooled metal parts into the cryogenic device again, control the cooling rate to 7.5°C / min, the cooling temperature is -205°C, and keep warm for 22h.

[0036] Raise the metal parts after the secondary cryogenic treatment to room temperature at a heating rate of 16°C / min, and then perform tempering treatment within a time interval of less than 25 minutes. Set the heating temperature during tempering treatment to between 180°C and keep it warm for 5 hours. Finally, the 3D printed metal parts are placed in the air and cooled to room temperature naturally.

[0037] Based on the treated ABS in this embodiment, it can be seen from the tensile test and bending test that its tensile strength and bending resistance have been inc...

Abstract

The invention discloses a treatment method for improving the performance of 3D printed polymer material parts. The 3D printed polymer material parts are subjected to a cryogenic treatment, and after the first cryogenic treatment is completed, natural cooling is performed, and after natural cooling, a second cryogenic treatment is performed again. Continuous tempering treatment after secondary cryogenic treatment. In this method, in the ultra-low temperature environment, the molecular movement becomes slow, the internal energy of the entire molecular chain increases significantly, the macromolecular microstructure becomes denser and more ordered, and the entire material structure becomes more balanced, so the mechanical properties of the material are greatly improved. improve. Due to the cryogenic treatment of polymer materials, the polymer chains in the material become more ordered, the grain size becomes smaller, and the crystallinity increases, which leads to the improvement of the wear resistance, bending resistance and tensile strength of the polymer materials. Big improvement. The mechanical properties of the 3D printing polymer material processed by the method are significantly enhanced, and can be more widely used in industrial production needs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a processing method for improving the performance of polymer parts, in particular to a processing method for improving the performance of 3D printing polymer parts. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology is rapidly changing traditional production methods and lifestyles. As a strategic emerging industry, the United States, Germany and other developed countries attach great importance to and actively promote this technology. Many experts believe that the new manufacturing technology represented by 3D printing technology characterized by digitalization, networking, personalization and customization will promote the third industrial revolution. The source of 3D printing technology can be traced back to rapid prototyping technology. Since the development of 3D computer-aided design (3DCAD), people hope to directly convert design into physical objects conveniently. The 3D printing technology is to divide the 3DCAD mode...
