Problems solved by technology

However, the forming characteristics of rapid cooling and rapid solidification of laser selective melting forming technology make Inconel718 alloy parts after forming generally have large local thermal stress, Nb element segregation causes a large amount of brittle Laves phase to precipitate, γ", γ', δ phase The precipitation is inhibited, and the boundary remelting zone of the melting channel is prone to defects such as microcracks. Through proper heat treatment, the defects of the formed sample can be improved to a certain extent.
[0008] At present, the post-treatment process of Inconel718 alloy formed by laser selective melting mostly follows the standard heat treatment scheme of traditional casting and forging, which cannot effectively solve the unique problems of laser selective melting and forming. Althoug

Abstract

The invention belongs to the fields of a metal additive manufacturing technology and a high-temperature alloy heat treatment technology, and particularly relates to a selective laser melting forming Inconel718 alloy and a heat treatment method thereof. The heat treatment method comprises the following process steps of (1) carrying out hot isostatic pressure heat treatment on a formed Inconel718 sample at 1080 DEG C; (2) carrying out solid solution heat treatment on the sample subjected to hot isostatic pressure at 980 DEG C; and (3) sequentially carrying out double-aging heat treatment on thesample subjected to solid solution at 720 DEG C and 620 DEG C. According to the heat treatment method, the high-temperature hot isostatic pressure heat treatment is added before the conventional solidsolution heat treatment, and meanwhile, the heat preservation time for solid solution and double-aging heat treatment is increased, so that a brittleness Laves phase and microscopic porosity existedin the selective laser melting forming Inconel718 alloy sample are eliminated, the precipitation of a strengthening phase is effectively promoted, the ductility of materials is retained to a greater degree while the material strength is remarkably improved, and a favorable comprehensive mechanical property is obtained.
