Abstract

The invention discloses a low-cost titanium alloy indirect additive manufacturing method. The method comprises the following steps that spherical powder and/or doped irregularly shaped titanium or titanium alloy powder and an adhesive are fully mixed, stirred and heated, wherein the powder contains yttrium accounting for 0.2-1.8% of the total weight of the mixed powder, the addition amount of theadhesive accounts for 25-45% of the total volume of the mixed powder, and the adhesive is prepared from, by weight, 45-55 parts of polyethylene macromolecules, 45 -55 parts of paraffin and 4-5 parts of stearic acid; the mixed powder is prepared into granular feed through a granulator, and an injection molding machine is used for processing the granular feed into aluminum alloy wires; the titaniumalloy wires are loaded on a conventional plastic 3D printer, and a titanium alloy green body is printed; the green body is put into a solvent degreasing device or a container for degreasing, and the adhesive is removed; and by means of a high-temperature pressureless sintering method, the aluminum alloy green body is solidified to obtain a highly dense titanium alloy indirect printing finished product. The method has the beneficial effects of being low in material cost, low in printing equipment cost and good in printed product quality.

Description
