Abstract

The invention relates to a laser additive manufacturing method of a NiTi alloy with large recoverable strain. The method includes the following steps that a NiTi alloy plate is used as a base material, two different energy sources, namely a CO2 laser and a semiconductor laser are adopted, high-purity argon is introduced to control the oxygen content of the atmosphere in a forming chamber to be within 100 ppm, and NiTi alloy powder with the granularity being 50-150 mu m is continuously fused and deposited on the base material in a coaxial powder feeding mode with a cross scanning strategy; in the deposition process, a relatively-large laser beam spot diameter and high laser power are selected, relatively-high energy input is obtained by controlling the laser power and the scanning rate under a certain powder feeding rate, then a formed compact NiTi alloy block is obtained, and it is guaranteed that the mechanical property of a formed sample is equal to or even superior to that of a homogeneously-cast and forged NiTi alloy sample. The NiTi alloy block prepared with the technology has relatively-strong preferred orientation (<001>//deposition direction), and the excellent superelasticrecovery performance and shape memory effect of the formed sample are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of advanced manufacturing of materials, and relates to a laser additive manufacturing method of large recoverable strain NiTi alloy. In particular, it involves the preferred orientation (<001>∥deposition direction), which makes the sample have excellent superelastic properties and shape memory effect; it has better metallurgical fusion and excellent mechanical properties. Background technique [0002] Near-equal atomic ratio NiTi alloy is a kind of shape memory material, because of its excellent superelasticity, shape memory effect, good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, it has been widely used in aviation, engineering and medical fields. application. The traditional way of preparing and processing NiTi alloy is difficult to directly obtain complex shape components with excellent intelligent properties, which greatly limits the further application of this alloy.
