Problems solved by technology

At present, there have been corresponding literature reports on the SLM technology forming of rare earth reinforced aluminum-magnesium alloys. However, the unavoidable problem is the burning problem faced by rare earth elements.
The burning loss of rare earth elements comes from two aspects, one is oxidation burning loss, rare earth elements are extremely active, and are easy to combine with oxygen impurities in the powder or residual oxygen content in the forming cavity to form oxides, which leads to the inclusion of formed samples Pores and performance deterioration; on the other hand, due to evaporation or volatile burning, the laser energy used in SLM forming has a Gaussian distribution, and the center energy is very high. Due to the powder bed forming, the heat is not easy to conduct and dissipate quickly. Using the traditional linear scanning strategy can easily lead to Local heat accumulation generates high temperature, which in turn causes evaporation and burning of rare earth elements

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy materials, and relates to a process control method for laser 3D printing of aluminum alloys modified and enhanced by low-element burning loss, including powder spreading and laser scanning; Defocus scanning is carried out in combination of the three; wherein, the partition differential scanning is to uniformly partition the two-dimensional scanning area to obtain a number of scanning blocks, and the block interval scanning is adopted during the scanning process; the intermittent Scanning means that during the scanning process, the laser beam stops scanning every time it travels a scanning vector distance, cools down for a period of time, and then continues scanning; the defocused scanning is to change the focal plane of the laser beam so that the focal plane is located below the formed substrate. It achieves effective control of the temperature of the molten pool in the laser 3D printing process through process regulation methods, and at the same time solves the problem of burning elements in laser additive manufacturing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy materials, and relates to a process control method for laser 3D printing of aluminum alloy modified and enhanced by rare earth with low element burning loss, in particular to a 3D printing process capable of realizing low element burning loss. Background technique [0002] Due to its high specific strength and plasticity, good thermal and electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace, traffic lights, ships and other industrial fields. In order to further improve the strength of aluminum alloy, it is usually achieved by adding trace elements to form fine dispersed precipitates in the matrix. Among them, the addition of rare earth elements is particularly significant. It can not only form fine precipitates, but also effectively improve the metallographic structure of the alloy, refine the grains, remove gases and harmful impurities in the alloy, reduce t...
