Problems solved by technology

However, due to the poor room temperature plasticity of γ-TiAl alloys, it is difficult to use laser stereoforming. The γ-TiAl alloys prepared by conventional 3D printing devices are prone to cracking from the bottom, and even along the construction direction to the top. Cracks caused by excessive stress
Most of the existing reports use a higher preheating temperature to obtain a dense γ-TiAl alloy during 3D printing, which not only increases the process flow, but also increases the production cost. The γ-TiAl alloy obtained by melting technology is similar, and loses the advantage of fine structure of laser three-dimensional forming

Abstract

The invention provides a method for 3D printing of a gamma-TiAl alloy in a static magnetic field. 3D printing is carried out on pre-alloyed powder according to three-dimensional data of a gamma-TiAl alloy formed part to obtain the gamma-TiAl alloy, and 3D printing is carried out in the static magnetic field. When the gamma-TiAl alloy is prepared, an external magnetic field is applied to obtain the compact high-performance gamma-TiAl alloy, and the external magnetic field can further improve the internal structure form of the alloy, reduce residual stress, obtain higher mechanical properties and reduce the cracking risk which may be caused by subsequent heat treatment; and the gamma-TiAl alloy prepared through a 3D printing technology has the characteristics of being high in flexibility, high in material utilization rate, short in production period and the like, and the solidification structure in the gamma-TiAl alloy is small. The result of the embodiment shows that the tensile strength of the gamma-TiAl alloy prepared through the method is larger than 560 MPa, the hardness is larger than 420 HV, and the ductility ranges from 0.5% to 0.8%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal additive manufacturing, in particular to a method and a device for 3D printing a γ-TiAl alloy under a static magnetic field. Background technique [0002] γ-TiAl alloy has excellent mechanical properties, and has excellent flame retardancy and low density. It is a potential substitute material for the manufacture of new low-pressure turbine engines. However, due to its low room temperature plasticity, ordinary processing and forming methods are used. Difficult to process it. The structure of the γ-TiAl alloy obtained by traditional casting is relatively coarse, and it needs to be quenched and aged. However, the γ-TiAl alloy is prone to quenching cracks during quenching, and the titanium-aluminum alloy has the characteristics of poor cutting performance and damage to the blade. It is extremely cost-intensive to manufacture it subtractively. [0003] At present, most of the internal structures obtai...
