Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, laser additive manufacturing is a non-equilibrium solidification process, the solid solution limit of alloy elements in the base metal is greatly increased, and the alloy composition of traditional alloy grades is difficult to meet the expected alloy properties
Moreover, aluminum has extremely high laser reflectivity (91%) and thermal conductivity (237W / (mK)), and the heat accumulation during forming is less, which not only reduces energy utilization and forming efficiency, but also easily causes metallurgical defects such as pores and cracks

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and discloses an in-situ preparation method for manufacturing aluminum alloys by laser additive manufacturing. The high-purity powder and aluminum alloy powder are uniformly mixed by ball milling, and then the uniformly mixed composite powder is ball milled in an inert gas atmosphere, and the raw materials after ball milling are sieved and dried to obtain an aluminum alloy substrate; finally, the aluminum alloy substrate is loaded into a laser In the additive manufacturing equipment, under the action of the laser, the aluminum alloy powder reacts with the added Sc, Zr, Ti and other powders in situ to form nano-scale second phase particles, which are piled up layer by layer according to the preset forming path, and finally a high-quality product is prepared. Strong, crack-free high-performance aluminum alloy components. According to the invention, the prepared aluminum alloy has few metallurgical defects such as pores and cracks, and has high mechanical strength, and is suitable for manufacturing high-performance lightweight key components of aerospace.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and more specifically relates to an in-situ preparation method of aluminum alloy manufactured by laser additive manufacturing and its products. Background technique [0002] Due to the characteristics of small weight, good corrosion resistance and high specific strength, aluminum alloy has become one of the fastest and most widely used light metals in automobiles and aerospace. With the development of industrial modernization, people's requirements for the structure and performance of aluminum alloy parts continue to increase. For example, the thermal protection system in an aerospace vehicle engine must not only meet engineering requirements such as fast heat dissipation and light weight, but also have a certain load-carrying capacity. Therefore, complex structures such as lattices, fences, or honeycombs are often used. However, at present, the preparation and forming process of the above-...
