The method for preparing the high-strength aluminum alloy through selective laser meltingcomprises the following steps: a high-strength spherical aluminum alloy powder and functional composite particles are provided, the functional composite particles are the mixture of a hard phase and alloy elements, and mixing treatment is carried out on the high-strength spherical aluminum alloy powder and the functional composite particles to obtain a mixed powder body; and under the condition ofinert atmosphere, selective laser melting equipment is adopted for carrying out selective laser melting forming under the conditions that the laser power is 190-220W, the laser beam diameter is 70[mu]m, the scanning speed is 115-155mm/s, the scanning distance is 40-80[mu]m, the powder layer thickness is 70[mu]m, and the powder preheating temperature is 150-250 DEG C, natural cooling is carried out, and then a high-strength aluminum alloy workpiece is prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of 3D printing of metal materials, and in particular relates to a method for preparing high-strength aluminum alloy by selective laser melting. Background technique [0002] Selective laser melting technology is an important branch of the metal 3D printing family. It can directly melt metal powder locally by laser to realize rapid and precise forming of complex parts. It has realized stainless steel, high-strength steel, titanium alloy, superalloy, cast aluminum alloy, Forming of cobalt chromium alloy and other materials. However, it cannot play a good role in the manufacture of complex precision components of high-strength aluminum alloys that are widely used in high-end fields such as aerospace, weaponry, automotive industry, and electronics. Because of the high degree of alloying of high-strength aluminum alloys, large solidification range, and high thermal cracking sensitivity, the high temperature (above 3000°C)...
