Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of preparation of copper-based shape memory alloys, and discloses a method for the in-situ preparation of any copper-based shape memory alloy through additive manufacturing. The method includes the following steps that (a) mixed powder needed by the element in a part is prepared and used as a raw material, and (b) the copper alloy is used as a forming substrate,electron beams or laser beams are used for conducting the selection melting technology to prepare the required copper-based memory alloy part, in the process, all the components in the mixed powder are instantly heated above melting points of the components and melted into a liquid phase without difference, the in-situ reaction diffusion is conducted under the liquid phase, the atomic reaction isfast, the diffusion time is short, and the composition segregation is avoided; and in addition, the parent phase formed by the main elements is not dissolved to form brittle gamma 2 phase but to formthe martensite phase, and the memory performance and hyperelasticity of the desired product are improved. By means of the method for the in-situ preparation of the copper-based shape memory alloy through the additive manufacturing, the product with any shape, high density, memory performance, super elasticity and high toughness are quickly prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of copper-based shape memory alloys, and more specifically relates to a method for in-situ preparation of arbitrary copper-based shape memory alloys by additive manufacturing. Background technique [0002] Copper-based shape memory alloys have good superelasticity, two-way memory properties, high damping properties, and low cost, so they are widely used in civil, industrial, military, aerospace, and machinery manufacturing fields. In particular, the phase transition temperature of copper-based shape memory alloy is relatively high, making it the preferred material for high-temperature applications (such as thermal actuators, thermal sensors), and the change of the composition of elements in the alloy is more sensitive to the influence of phase transition temperature. Therefore, the ratio of elements in the alloy can be adjusted to meet various temperature requirements in different application environmen...
