Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal additive manufacturing technology, specifically to a high-entropy alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance for additive manufacturing, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] High-entropy alloys are novel multi-principal element alloys composed of multiple principal elements. They are defined as solid solution alloys containing five or more elements in equimolar or near-equimolar ratios, with each element comprising 5% to 35% of the total atomic weight. Their microstructure is primarily composed of simple BCC, FCC, or HCP phases. Common processing methods include mechanical alloying, plasma spraying, arc melting, sputtering vapor deposition, and laser cladding. Compared to traditional alloys based on a single principal element, high-entropy alloys exhibit high strength, high hardness, high thermal stability, high corrosion resistance, strong fatigue resistance, and excellent high-temperature softening resistance, making them widely used in aerospace, nuclear energy, new energy, and medical fields. The superior performance of high-entropy alloys is widely recognized due to the synergistic effects of high-entropy, hysteretic diffusion, lattice distortion, and the "cocktail" effect. Therefore, the unique design philosophy of high-entropy alloys makes them suitable candidate materials for high-temperature friction and wear applications.

[0003] Compared with high-entropy alloys prepared by traditional methods, high-entropy alloys prepared by electron beam printing can overcome the common metallurgical defects such as porosity and inclusions in traditional high-entropy alloys, as well as the limitations of the preparation technology itself and the complexity of subsequent thermomechanical processing. With the rapid development of high technologies such as aerospace, marine engineering, and nuclear energy in my country, the operating conditions of mechanical components are becoming increasingly harsh and complex, involving extreme environments and conditions such as high load, high speed, high / low temperature alternation, strong corrosion, and special media. Friction, wear, and lubrication problems have become bottlenecks affecting the reliability and lifespan of mechanical systems. These are all major challenges for electron beam printing of high-entropy alloys.

[0004] Therefore, how to prepare a high-entropy additive manufacturing alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance through electron beam printing technology is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a high-entropy alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance in additive manufacturing, its preparation method, and its application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a method for preparing a high-entropy alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance through additive manufacturing, comprising the following steps:

[0008] 1) Prepare high-entropy alloy powder by gas atomization of metal powder according to the specified ratio;

[0009] 2) Create a 3D model of the part on the computer, obtain the slicing data, and import it into the electron beam printing equipment;

[0010] 3) High-entropy alloys are obtained by electron beam printing of high-entropy alloy powder;

[0019] Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-entropy additive manufacturing alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance prepared by the aforementioned preparation method.

[0020] Preferably, the high-entropy additive manufacturing alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance has a two-phase solid solution structure of face-centered cubic FCC and L21 phases, with a density ≥99%, a hardness of 560HV0.2, and an average grain size of 33.23μm.

[0021] Preferably, the friction coefficient of the high-entropy additive manufacturing alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance is 0.391 to 0.7 at room temperature and 0.17 to 0.3 at high temperatures of 600 to 900°C.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of the aforementioned high-entropy additive manufacturing alloy with excellent friction and wear resistance in customized parts in the aerospace field.
