Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the mechanical property of a 3D printing nickel-based superalloy through in-situ heat treatment. The laser 3D printing process comprises the steps of firstly, forming alloy powder by using a high-energy-density laser beam to obtain a forming layer; and then, conducting in-situ secondary laser scanning on the forming layer through a low-energy-density laser beam to achieve in-situ heat treatment. Aiming at the problems of nickel-based superalloy laser 3D printing cracking, insufficient mechanical properties and the like, the high-power laser beam isadopted for primary scanning at a high scanning speed, and the forming layer is obtained through fusion forming; then, secondary scanning is conducted on the forming layer through the low-power laserat a low scanning speed, and the lasers are accurately controlled to scan the energy input twice, so that in-situ heat treatment in the nickel-based superalloy laser 3D printing process is achieved,residual stress is rapidly eliminated, and cracks are avoided; and a nano precipitated phase is separated out, the microstructure of the alloy is regulated, and the mechanical property is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a method for improving the mechanical properties of 3D printing nickel-based superalloys through in-situ heat treatment, and belongs to the field of superalloys and additive manufacturing. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology has become one of the most concerned emerging technologies in the world. It has unique advantages in preparing parts with complex shapes. At the same time, it can improve the production efficiency of parts and reduce material waste, greatly reduce costs and shorten manufacturing time. In aerospace, It has broad application prospects in transportation, biomedicine and other fields. However, during the laser 3D printing process, the cooling rate is as high as 10 4 ~10 8 K / s, resulting in a large temperature gradient and high residual stress during the forming process, making the workpiece easy to crack; especially the "non-weldable" nickel-based superalloy with high crack sensitivity, cracks ...
