Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electric arc additive manufacturing technology, specifically a heterogeneous material distribution reinforced and toughened composite additive structure and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of engineering technology and modern military equipment in my country, the single properties of homogeneous materials are no longer sufficient to meet practical application requirements. The rise of heterogeneous materials provides a new approach to further improve material properties. Tungsten carbide-reinforced iron-based composites are characterized by high strength and hardness, but their toughness is relatively poor. High-nitrogen steel has good strength and toughness. Using tungsten carbide as a reinforcing material to prepare tungsten carbide-reinforced high-nitrogen steel heterogeneous structural materials can further improve the strength and hardness of homogeneous high-nitrogen steel. However, due to the mismatch between the thermal expansion coefficient, brittleness, and other physical properties of tungsten carbide and metal-based alloys, tungsten carbide-reinforced metal-based composites are prone to cracking under additive cyclic thermal stress, making it difficult to manufacture large-size, high-tungsten carbide-content tungsten carbide-reinforced iron-based composite structural components.

[0003] Patent application number 202210813559.0 discloses a tungsten carbide-reinforced composite powder, coating, and preparation method. In the tungsten carbide-reinforced nickel-based composite coating prepared by this method, tungsten carbide particles are preferentially distributed at the bottom of the coating, forming a heterogeneous layered structure of a tungsten carbide wear-resistant layer and a nickel-based alloy buffer layer. However, the thickness of this tungsten carbide-nickel-based layered distribution structure is only 2-3 mm, resulting in a small size of the tungsten carbide-reinforced metal matrix composite structure. Furthermore, the process of preparing large-size heterogeneous material distribution composite structures via laser powder deposition is complex and inefficient. Patent application number 202110506651.8 discloses a method for manufacturing a multidimensional heterogeneous additive structure of ultra-hard iron-based tungsten carbide and soft stainless steel. The heterogeneous additive structure prepared by this method achieves a combination of high hardness and high toughness. However, the iron-based tungsten carbide regions overlap to a certain extent in space, and residual stress gradually accumulates in the continuously distributed iron-based tungsten carbide slopes, which limits the preparation of larger-sized iron-based tungsten carbide-stainless steel heterogeneous additive structures. Furthermore, the iron-based tungsten carbide regions exposed at the stress concentration points of the structure's corners also increase the risk of cracking. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heterogeneous material distributed reinforcement and toughening composite additive structure and its manufacturing method. The structure is composed of homogeneous stainless steel on both sides, and its interior consists of two alternately distributed parts: an iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distributed reinforcement region and a homogeneous high nitrogen steel interlayer. This invention enhances the strength and hardness of the homogeneous high nitrogen steel through the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distributed structure, while avoiding continuous distribution of iron-based tungsten carbide in three-dimensional space. The addition of homogeneous high nitrogen steel layers between a certain number of iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distributed reinforcement additive layers prevents excessive accumulation of residual stress in the distributed reinforcement layers. The homogeneous stainless steel on both sides of the composite additive structure further enhances the overall toughness of the composite additive structure, preventing lamellar tearing during the additive manufacturing process. Ultimately, this invention solves the problem of easy cracking in large-size, high-tungsten carbide-reinforced high nitrogen steel composite additive structures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The structure of the heterogeneous material distribution-reinforced and toughened composite additive structure consists of two parts: an iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement region and a homogeneous high nitrogen steel sandwich layer. The two sides of the structure are made of homogeneous stainless steel.

[0007] In the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement region, iron-based tungsten carbide and high nitrogen steel are alternately distributed in the Y direction, and iron-based tungsten carbide units are staggered in the X and Z directions, completely separated by high nitrogen steel;

[0008] The iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement region and the homogeneous high nitrogen steel interlayer inside the structure are cyclically and alternately distributed in the Z direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the width W1 of the homogeneous stainless steel on both sides of the structure is 5 to 20 mm, and the width W2 of the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement area and the homogeneous high nitrogen steel interlayer in the internal structure is 20 to 100 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the iron-based tungsten carbide unit has a width W of 5–20 mm in the X direction, a length L of 5–20 mm in the Y direction, and a thickness δ of 1–5 mm in the Z direction.

[0011] Furthermore, in the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement region inside the structure, the ratio of iron-based tungsten carbide to high nitrogen steel is 1:1 to 1:5.

[0012] Furthermore, the composite additive structure is manufactured by additively adding two types of additive layers distributed in the XY plane along the Z direction: high-nitrogen steel-stainless steel and iron-based tungsten carbide-high-nitrogen steel-stainless steel. The thickness of both additive layers is δ.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of planar additive layers in each tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distribution reinforcement region inside the structure is 2 to 8, and the number of planar additive layers in each homogeneous high nitrogen steel sandwich layer is 1 to 4.

[0014] A method for manufacturing a heterogeneous material distribution reinforced and toughened composite additive structure includes the following specific steps:

[0015] (1) Heat the substrate to a predetermined temperature and set additive process parameters such as additive current and wire feeding speed;

[0016] (2) Additive high-nitrogen steel-stainless steel XY planar distributed additive layer: ignition arc initiation, PLC control of stainless steel wire feeder at wire feeding speed V w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the deposition of homogeneous stainless steel additive manufacturing channels on one side; the stainless steel wire feeder is stopped by PLC control, and the high-nitrogen steel wire feeder feeds wire at a speed of V. w2 Wire feeding is performed to complete the internal homogeneous high-nitrogen steel additive manufacturing process; the high-nitrogen steel wire feeder is stopped by PLC control, while the stainless steel wire feeder continues feeding at a speed of V. w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the deposition of the homogeneous stainless steel additive manufacturing path on the other side, and the electric arc is extinguished.

[0017] (3) Repeat step (2) until the number of layers of the high-nitrogen steel-stainless steel XY plane distributed additive layer meets the thickness design requirements of the homogeneous high-nitrogen steel sandwich layer inside the structure.

[0018] (4) Additive iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel-stainless steel XY planar distributed additive layer: ignition arc initiation, and PLC control of stainless steel wire feeder at wire feeding speed V w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the stacking of homogeneous stainless steel additive manufacturing channels on one side; the stainless steel wire feeder is stopped by PLC control, and the iron-based tungsten carbide wire feeder and the high-nitrogen steel wire feeder are controlled to feed at wire speeds V respectively. w3 and V w2 The wires are fed alternately in a predetermined sequence to complete the stacking of alternating iron-based tungsten carbide and high-nitrogen steel additive manufacturing channels. The PLC controls the iron-based tungsten carbide and high-nitrogen steel wire feeders to stop feeding wire, while the stainless steel wire feeder feeds wire at a speed of V. w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the deposition of the homogeneous stainless steel additive manufacturing path on the other side, and the electric arc is extinguished.

[0019] (5) The additive layer, which is interwoven with the previous layer, consists of iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel-stainless steel XY plane distributed additive layer: ignition and arc initiation are performed, and the stainless steel wire feeder is controlled by PLC at a wire feeding speed V. w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the deposition of stainless steel additive manufacturing runner on one side; the stainless steel wire feeder is stopped by PLC control, and the iron-based tungsten carbide wire feeder and the high-nitrogen steel wire feeder are controlled to feed wire at speeds V respectively. w3 and V w2The iron-based tungsten carbide unit is alternately fed in a predetermined sequence to complete the stacking of alternating iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel additive manufacturing channels offset by a distance L in the Y direction relative to the previous layer. The iron-based tungsten carbide wire feeder and the high nitrogen steel wire feeder are stopped by PLC control, while the stainless steel wire feeder feeds at a speed of V. w1 Wire feeding is performed to complete the deposition of the homogeneous stainless steel additive manufacturing path on the other side, and the electric arc is extinguished.

[0020] (6) Repeat step (5) until the number of layers of the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel-stainless steel XY plane distributed additive layer meets the thickness design requirements of the iron-based tungsten carbide-high nitrogen steel distributed reinforcement area inside the structure.

[0021] (7) Repeat steps (2) to (6) until the overall height of the composite additive structure reaches the preset requirement.

[0022] Furthermore, the stainless steel wire is Cr-Ni stainless steel welding wire, the nitrogen content of the high-nitrogen steel wire is 0.4 to 1.0 wt.%, and the iron-based tungsten carbide wire is iron-based tungsten carbide flux-cored welding wire with a tungsten carbide volume fraction of 10 to 60%.

[0023] Furthermore, the arc travel speed is the same during additive manufacturing of different wire materials, with the wire feeding speed V being the same for stainless steel wire, high-nitrogen steel wire, and iron-based tungsten carbide wire. w1 V w2 V w3 The relationship between it and its diameters D1, D2, and D3 is V w1 ·D1 2 =V w2 ·D2 2 =V w3 ·D3 2 .

[0024] Furthermore, when switching wire feeds, the arc pauses its movement for 0.1s to 0.3s. During the pause, the previous wire is retracted at the same speed as the wire feed, and the wire feeder for the next wire is turned on at the same time.

The three-wire non-consumable electrode arc additive manufacturing process used in this method can realize a variety of heterogeneous distributed additive structures by controlling the alternating feeding of three types of wires, which has the characteristics of flexible implementation and good flexibility; 4. Compared with laser and electron beam additive manufacturing processes, the arc additive manufacturing process used in this method has the characteristics of lower equipment cost and higher additive efficiency.
