Abstract

The invention discloses a selective laser melting device and a preparation method for a gradient material. The device is provided with 2-5 raw material bins, and each raw material bin, a powder mixingroom, a powder storage bin, a powder dropper and a control valve define a powder feeding system with 2-5 channels, and an outlet of the powder storage bin communicates with an inlet of the powder dropper. Alloy powder needed for each slice layer is mixed in proportion, and is printed and formed through processes of raw material bin powder-feeding, mixing room powder-mixing, powder storage bin powder storage and powder dropper powder-dropping, so that preparation for the gradient material with components continuously changing in a vertical direction is realized; and the obtained formed part issmoothly transited in component and texture in macro-scale, so that component and performance mutation caused by metallurgical bonding, formed by layer-by-layer alternated printing of various powderin the prior art, of molten pool scale are eliminated, and therefore, integrated integral manufacturing of structure and function is realized. Uniform transition performance indexes in space scale canavoid the problems of discordant deformation and stress concentration, so that using performance of the formed part is favorably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and in particular relates to a device and method for preparing gradient materials by selective laser melting. Background technique [0002] Gradient material is a material whose chemical composition, organizational structure and performance characteristics present a specific gradient distribution inside the material through purposeful optimization and design of the internal composition and structure of the material during the material forming process, which can meet the needs of different parts of the part. Different performance requirements can meet the adaptation to multiple complex environments. At present, the preparation of gradient materials mainly uses technologies such as vapor deposition, plasma spraying, powder metallurgy, and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. The forming size and shape complexity of gradient materials are limited, so it is necessary to find a method that...
