Abstract

The invention discloses aluminum alloy powder for additive manufacturing and a preparation method and application of the aluminum alloy powder. A small amount of graphene powder, zirconium oxide powder and aluminum alloy powder are mixed, agglomeration of graphene can be prevented by mixing the zirconium oxide powder, the graphene can be subjected to interface reaction on a matrix to generate carbide, the carbide is uniformly dispersed in grain boundaries and grains to generate a pinning effect; the dislocation density is increased through Orowan strength, grains are refined through heterogeneous nucleation, and transfer of more loads from a matrix to graphene is promoted, so that a strengthening effect is achieved, spatial distribution of a double-phase reinforced phase is improved, interface bonding strength is improved, wettability of the reinforced phase and the matrix is improved, powder fluidity is improved, and the quality of the composite powder is improved; and meanwhile, by combining the high-temperature-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant reinforcing phases of the graphene and the zirconium oxide powder, about 5% of volume expansion can be generated during conversion from a t phase (tetragonal phase) to an m phase (monoclinic phase), crack propagation in a matrix is hindered, and phase toughening is generated.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of additively manufactured metal-based nanocomposite materials, and in particular relates to an aluminum alloy powder for additively manufactured and its preparation method and application. Background technique

[0002] Additive manufacturing technology, also known as 3D printing technology, is relative to traditional machining and other "subtractive manufacturing" technologies. It is based on the principle of stacking, by accumulating two-dimensional sections point by point to create a three-dimensional solid. This technology can realize the direct preparation of three-dimensional digital models to physical parts, making the parts lighter in structure and more complex in performance. Compared with traditional manufacturing technology, additive manufacturing technology has the advantages of no mold, high flexibility, short cycle, and not limited by part structure and material. Additive manufacturing technology is ex...
