Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for improving the mechanical properties of an aluminum alloy bulk material prepared by cold spraying.Firstly, alumina particles are mixed with commercial aerosolized A380 aluminum alloy powder in a certain ratio, and uniformly mixed by a ball mill; the mixed powder is sprayed onto the surface of a substrate by cold air power spraying to prepare a bulk material of the in-situ tempered aluminum alloy; finally annealing heat treatment is supplemented. The obtained aluminum alloy bulk material has aporosity of 0.8% or less, a tensile strength of 200 to 450 MPa, a yield strength of 120 to 400 MPa, an elongation of 1% to 5.5% and a thickness of 2 cm or more. The method has the advantages of simple process and low cost, the prepared material has compact structure and remarkable mechanical properties, and the problem that the mechanical property of the bulk material prepared by the cold spraying difficultly meets the application requirements due to insufficient particle deformation and high porosity is solved.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for improving the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy block materials prepared by cold spraying. Background technique [0002] The additive manufacturing technology of depositing metal by cold air power spraying (also known as cold spraying) is a non-heat-input technology. layer (bulk material). Compared with traditional additive manufacturing technology, the biggest advantage of cold spray additive manufacturing is low temperature, which can prepare heat-sensitive metal materials, including nanocrystalline metals, amorphous metal glasses, alloys containing high vapor pressure elements (such as: zinc yellow Copper and 7××× series aluminum-zinc alloys and shape memory alloys, etc.). Not only that, cold spray additive manufacturing can accurately control the concentration of each component in binary or multi-component materials to form composite mate...
