Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of laser additive manufacturing and relates to a high-throughput optimization method for improving the performance of additively manufactured high-strength aluminum-based components through oxygen regulation. Background Art
[0002] Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is an advanced manufacturing technology that creates three-dimensional entities by stacking materials layer by layer. Compared with traditional manufacturing methods, additive manufacturing can quickly and integratedly form parts with complex shapes and internal structures, which has played a huge role in promoting and disrupting the manufacturing industry, and has promoted breakthroughs and leapfrog developments in core manufacturing technologies in the fields of aviation, aerospace, energy, automobiles, biomedicine, etc. Among them, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) technology uses a high-energy laser beam as a heat source to evenly spread metal powder on the forming platform through a powder spreading device to form a thin layer of powder; then, the laser beam scans and melts the powder layer according to a preset scanning path and strategy; the melted metal powder quickly solidifies to form a solid layer; then, new metal powder is spread again, and the above process is repeated until the entire part is printed.
[0003] During the LPBF process, high oxygen content in the processing environment can lead to various metallurgical defects in the component, such as inclusions, porosity, and microcracks, negatively impacting its microstructure and properties. However, the presence of moderate amounts of oxygen can form oxides in the melt pool, acting as a matrix for oxide dispersion strengthening (ODS). During conventional casting, non-wetting oxide particles cannot be incorporated and stabilized in the melt, often agglomerating and rising to the top of the molten alloy to form slag. The high cooling rate of laser powder bed fusion reduces the time oxide nanoparticles spend agglomerating in the melt and facilitates particle entrapment during solidification, preventing slag formation. Furthermore, the strong Marangoni melt flow driven by the surface tension gradient may help disperse oxide particles in the melt, thus making LPBF a promising method for fabricating ODS aluminum alloys. Conventional characterization methods often rely on single experimental or empirical data, failing to systematically explore the impact of oxygen content on the properties of high-strength aluminum alloys. Therefore, a more efficient, systematic, and high-throughput analytical approach is needed to comprehensively investigate oxygen regulation during additive manufacturing. This high-throughput analysis method can quickly evaluate the impact of different oxygen contents on the material structure and mechanical properties. Combined with advanced material characterization technology, through the characterization and analysis of experimental data, it can clarify the relationship between the cavity oxygen partial pressure and the structure and mechanical properties of high-strength aluminum components.

[0044] The accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the present invention, and it will be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, which may be implemented in various forms. Therefore, the specific details disclosed herein should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All technologies implemented based on the above-mentioned content of the present invention are included within the scope of protection intended by the present invention.
[0045] Combine Figure 1 The present invention provides a high-throughput optimization method for improving the performance of additively manufactured high-strength aluminum-based components by oxygen regulation, comprising the following steps:
[0046] Step 1: Obtain 3D printing information of high-strength aluminum sample:
[0047] A high-strength aluminum specimen model is designed and sliced in layers. Then, the 3D printing process parameters of each slice layer are preset, and the cavity oxygen partial pressure of each slice layer during the forming process is planned to obtain the 3D printing information of the high-strength aluminum specimen.
[0048] High-strength aluminum specimen models can be created using conventional 3D modeling software. Slicing the high-strength aluminum specimens can be performed using conventional slicing software. The resulting 2D information needs to be imported into the additive manufacturing equipment.
[0049] The specific planning method of the cavity oxygen partial pressure of each slice layer during the forming process is: each slice layer is divided into several forming areas along the stacking direction, each slice layer included in each forming area adopts the same cavity oxygen partial pressure, and the cavity oxygen partial pressure of each forming area changes gradiently along the stacking direction, that is, the present invention sets the cavity oxygen partial pressure during the printing process to change regionally along the stacking direction.
[0050] Typically, the gradient change of the cavity oxygen partial pressure along the stacking direction is specifically an increasing change, that is, during forming, the high-strength aluminum specimen is printed and formed on the substrate from bottom to top according to the increasing cavity oxygen partial pressure.
[0051] Step 2: Printing the regional oxygen content gradient of the high-strength aluminum sample:
[0052] Based on the 3D printing information of the high-strength aluminum sample obtained in step 1, according to the preset 3D printing process parameters of each slice layer and the planned chamber oxygen partial pressure, the high-strength aluminum sample is printed on the substrate through the additive manufacturing equipment;
[0053] The high-strength aluminum sample obtained is a sample with a regional oxygen content gradient change along the height direction (the reason is that the oxygen partial pressure in the cavity during the printing process of the present invention varies regionally along the stacking direction), and an oxide dispersion reinforcement phase is generated in situ during the forming process, so that the high-strength aluminum sample obtained is an ODS high-strength aluminum alloy sample.
[0054] During the printing and forming process of high-strength aluminum specimens, this step monitors the air flow and pressure in the forming cavity of the additive manufacturing equipment in real time, and uses the PID control algorithm to stabilize the air flow and pressure in the forming cavity at the preset target values, thereby realizing the regulation of the oxygen content in the cavity of the additive manufacturing equipment.
[0055] Specifically, the basic formula of the PID control algorithm is:
[0056]
[0057] Where: u(t) is the control output, e(t) is the deviation between the set value and the actual value, K p , K i , K d are the proportional, integral and derivative gains respectively.
[0058] Specifically, the PID control algorithm is a feedback control algorithm in a control system. By adjusting the control input, the controlled variable (argon gas flow rate) can reach the set value in an optimal way. The PID algorithm achieves control through three main parts:
[0059] Proportional (P) control: Adjusts based on the current deviation (the difference between the setpoint and the actual value). The effect of proportional control is that the larger the current deviation, the greater the control output, thus producing a corresponding corrective effect.
[0060] Integral (I) control: Adjusts based on the sum of historical deviations. The integral term accumulates past deviations, eliminating steady-state errors and ultimately allowing the system to reach the setpoint.
[0061] Differential (D) control: Adjusts based on the rate of change of the deviation. Differential control can predict future trends and improve system stability by sensitively responding to deviation changes, reducing overshoot and oscillation.
[0062] During the forming process, oxide dispersion reinforcement phase (ODS) is generated in situ. When the laser acts on the aluminum alloy powder, the oxide layer of the aluminum alloy powder breaks to form nano-Al2O3 particles that melt into the melt; the oxygen in the cavity reacts with the metal elements (such as Al, Mg and Si) in the melt to form nano-oxides such as Al2O3, MgO and SiO2; under the action of surface tension, the Marangoni effect in the molten pool drives the in-situ generated nano-oxide particles to be evenly dispersed, and the ODS high-strength aluminum alloy is obtained.
[0063] Step 3: High-throughput analysis and characterization of ODS high-strength aluminum alloy samples:
[0064] The obtained ODS high-strength aluminum alloy samples were subjected to high-throughput analysis and characterization, and the optimal oxygen partial pressure parameters for improving the mechanical properties of the ODS high-strength aluminum alloy samples were obtained by comparing the organizational properties and micromechanical properties of the ODS high-strength aluminum alloy samples.
[0065] The technical solutions described in the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to several embodiments.
[0066] Example 1 (Comparative Example)
[0067] Example 1 is a typical selective laser melting process for forming an aluminum alloy specimen, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0068] (1) Use Materialise Magics software to build the model and slice it layer by layer, and then import the slice information into the additive manufacturing machine.
[0069] (2) Aluminum alloy specimens were formed using additive manufacturing equipment. The high-strength aluminum alloy composition was as follows: Mn content: 5.0 wt.%, Mg content: 1.0 wt.%, Sc content: 0.72 wt.%, Zr content: 0.3 wt.%, Si content: 0.23 wt.%, and the balance: Al. The powder particle size was 15-53 μm. The powder was dried in a vacuum drying oven at 120°C for 8 h before printing.
[0070] The additive manufacturing process parameters of step (2) are: laser power 370 W, laser scanning speed 1100 mm / s, spot diameter 70 μm, layer thickness 30 μm, scanning spacing 60 μm, and the cavity atmosphere during the printing process is controlled at 10 ppm.
[0071] (3) The formed specimen is separated from the substrate by wire cutting and subjected to aging treatment at 300°C for 6 hours in a heat treatment furnace. The heat treatment atmosphere is an argon atmosphere and the cooling method is furnace cooling. The specimens are characterized by using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) technology and micro / nanomechanical testing technology, and their room temperature mechanical properties are tested according to the standard "Room Temperature Tensile Test Method for Metallic Materials" (GB / T228.1-2021). After testing, the tensile strength of Example 1 is 510.6MPa and the elongation is 10.5%.
[0072] Example 2
[0073] The high-strength aluminum alloy test piece obtained by the high-throughput optimization method of the present invention for improving the performance of high-strength aluminum-based components manufactured by additive manufacturing through oxygen regulation is different from the conventional laser powder bed melting process embodiment 1 in that: during the printing process of step (2), the chamber atmosphere is gradually increased from 10 to 1000 ppm, and the test piece is printed at five oxygen partial pressure values of 10 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 500 ppm and 1000 ppm. The formed test piece is subjected to aging heat treatment according to step (3), and the test piece is processed into tensile specimens according to the areas printed at different oxygen contents. Stress-strain tensile testing is performed at room temperature. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0076] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a high-throughput oxygen gradient sample prepared by laser additive manufacturing and the printing system used in the present invention. Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the oxygen-regulated in-situ reaction to generate a dispersed ODS phase proposed in the present invention. Figure 4 This is the tensile performance curve of the high-throughput sample prepared by the method of the present invention. It can be seen that the increase in oxygen content in the cavity can react with metal elements (such as Al, Mg and Si) in the melt to form nano-oxides. These nano-oxides are dispersed in the melt and play a role in strengthening and toughening the high-strength aluminum alloy components. However, the increase in oxygen content may cause the nano-oxides to agglomerate, and these agglomerated oxides will lead to a decrease in mechanical properties, such as Figure 4 The stress-strain curve corresponding to 1000ppm is shown in FIG.
[0077] Example 3
[0078] The high-strength aluminum alloy specimens obtained by the high-throughput optimization method of the present invention for improving the performance of additively manufactured high-strength aluminum-based components through oxygen regulation differ from the conventional laser powder bed fusion process Example 1 in that different layers of the high-strength aluminum specimens printed by this method are printed at different oxygen contents: 10 ppm oxygen content for layers 1 to 300, 50 ppm oxygen content for layers 300 to 600, 100 ppm oxygen content for layers 600 to 900, 500 ppm oxygen content for layers 900 to 1200, and 1000 ppm oxygen content for layers 1200 to 1500. Characterization and analysis of the oxygen gradient specimens obtained by the method of the present invention allows for more convenient and rapid data generation under different experimental parameters than the specimens printed under a single parameter in Example 1. Figure 5 and Figure 6 These are the SEM images of the columnar crystals and equiaxed crystals in the cross section of the molten pool of the high-strength aluminum sample under the oxygen partial pressure parameter of 100ppm, which has the best mechanical properties. It can be seen that under the optimal oxygen partial pressure parameters, there are diffusely distributed nano-oxide particles in the columnar crystals in the middle of the molten pool and the equiaxed crystals at the bottom of the molten pool, indicating that the main reason for improving the mechanical properties is these diffusely distributed nano-oxide particles generated in situ under different oxygen partial pressures.
[0079] The present invention provides a high-throughput optimization method for improving the performance of additively manufactured high-strength aluminum-based components through oxygen regulation. There are many methods and approaches to implement this technical solution. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
