Method and product for preparing copper-based shape memory alloy with arbitrary shape in situ by laser

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of preparation of copper-based shape-memory alloys, and specifically discloses a method and a product for in-situ preparation of copper-based shape-memory alloys with lasers in situ. After mixing, carry out vacuum melting to obtain ingots, and then use the aerosol method to make the ingots into powders with an average particle size of 20-50 μm, or add a reinforcement phase with a particle size of nanometers to the powder and mix them mechanically to prepare composite powders; In an inert gas protection environment with an oxygen content of less than 0.1%, the copper-based shape memory alloy of the desired shape is prepared by using the powder or composite powder as the powder raw material by using the laser selective melting additive manufacturing technology. The invention has the characteristics of short cycle, low cost, high flexibility and fast cooling rate, and can synthesize copper-based shape memory alloy with arbitrary shape, adjustable composition, no segregation and impurities, and excellent mechanical properties and memory properties.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of copper-based shape memory alloys, and more specifically relates to a method and products for in-situ preparation of copper-based shape memory alloys of arbitrary shapes by laser. Background technique

[0002] Copper-based shape memory alloys are widely used in civil, industrial, military, aerospace and machinery manufacturing fields due to their good superelasticity, two-way memory performance, high damping and low cost. In particular, its high phase transition temperature makes copper-based shape memory alloys the preferred materials for high-temperature applications (such as thermal actuators, thermal sensors), and its phase transition temperature is sensitive to changes in composition, so it can be adjusted by adjusting the alloy The ratio of elements can meet various temperature requirements in different application environments, and its good machinability provides feasibility for the manufacture...
