Problems solved by technology

At present, 3D printing of aluminum alloys is mostly concentrated on Al-Si series, because Al-Si series aluminum alloys have better weldability, but Al-Si series alloys are medium and low-strength aluminum alloys, which cannot meet the needs of higher strength.
2-series (Al-Cu), 6-series (Al-Mg) and 7-series (Al-Zn) aluminum alloys have higher strength, but these aluminum alloys are highly sensitive to hot cracking and are prone to cracks during solidification

preparation example Construction

[0042] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing the metal powder according to the embodiment of the first aspect, comprising: mixing aluminum alloy powder and niobium to obtain metal powder.

[0043] The particle size of niobium is ≤200nm. Nano-shaped niobium has a small size effect. In the process of mixing with aluminum alloy powder, the characteristics of large specific surface area and insufficient coordination of surface atoms make it under the action of van der Waals force. Spontaneously attaching to the surface of the aluminum alloy powder forms the metal powder of the embodiment of the present application.

[0044] In addition to aluminum, the aluminum alloy powder also contains other metal elements. The inventors of the present application have found that if aluminum micropowder, other metal element micropowders and Nb nanopowder are directly mixed and then melted, the composition of the metal alloy will easily be fo...
