Abstract

The invention discloses copper alloy powder for additive manufacturing and a preparation method and application thereof. The copper alloy powder is prepared from Cr powder, Zr powder and Cu powder according to the specific proportion, the eutectic temperature of the alloy is 1,072 DEG C, the maximum solid solubility of chromium in copper is 0.65% at the eutectic temperature, high temperature is generated when the 3D printing forming power is between 420 W and 500 W through a 3D printing forming technology, a second phase Cu5Zr and other polycompounds which are separated out in copper grains and on the grain boundaries of the copper grains are cooled to 150 DEG C or below along with the temperature in the printing process, the solid solubility is rapidly decreased along with lowering of thetemperature, and a Cr-particle phase is separated out. Through addition of chromium, the recrystallization temperature and the heat resistance of the alloy are obviously improved. Therefore, the Cu-Cr-Zr copper alloy powder can be better suitable for an additive manufacturing forming technology compared with a common copper alloy material, and the obtained material has the characteristics that the density is between 8.5 g / cm<3> and 8.9 g / cm<3>, the tensile strength is between 260 MPa and 330 MPa, the percentage elongation after fracture is between 18%-25%, and the yield strength is between 220 MPa and 270 MPa and meets the additive manufacturing forming requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal powder materials, and relates to a copper alloy powder used for additive manufacturing and a preparation method and application thereof.
