Problems solved by technology

The powders used for 3D printing nickel-based superalloys still have problems such as poor compositional uniformity, high oxygen content, poor sphericity, and low yield of powders suitable for 3D printing particle size distribution.
However, for "non-weldable" nickel-based superalloys, it is easy to crack and difficult to form during the 3D printing forming process, and the prepared powder is difficult to meet the 3D printing requirements of high-performance nickel-based superalloy parts
At the same time, there is no relevant record that the combination of microalloying and powder making technology can achieve the greatest probability of reducing cracks in the 3D printing process

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a nickel-based superalloy for 3D printing and a powder preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of superalloys and additive manufacturing. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of metal 3D printing technology, the demand for high-quality, low-cost metal powder is increasing. The development of high-performance nickel-based superalloy 3D printing technology for aerospace is limited by the "weldability" of nickel-based superalloy and the quality of its powder. At present, the nickel-based superalloys used for 3D printing are mainly IN718, IN625, etc., which have good 3D printing forming properties, but their overall performance is worse than that of powdered nickel-based superalloys. Due to the high content of Al and Ti in the powdered nickel-based superalloy, the crack sensitivity is high, and cracks are prone to occur during the 3D printing process, which brings great challenges to the 3D p...
