Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular to a method for improving the formability of 24CrNiMo alloy steel. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of high-speed trains, brake discs are key components for braking trains at high speeds, and they play a vital role. At present, the manufacturing methods used for brake discs of high-speed trains (>300km / h) in my country are forging and casting. However, due to the low yield of cast products and casting defects, the structural shape of forging methods is limited, and other problems, most brake discs currently rely mainly on imports.

[0003] Additive manufacturing technology is a rapid prototyping technology that uses a layer-by-layer accumulation method to manufacture solid parts. Based on its rapid prototyping, unrestricted structure of formed parts, and uniform formed structure, it has broad application prospects in aerospace, new energy materials, shipbuilding machinery and other fields. Electron beam selective melting technology is an additive manufacturing technology that uses electron beam as a heat source. Under the scanning of the electron beam, the metal powder is dissolved and solidified, and deposited layer by layer to manufacture three-dimensional metal parts. The substrate preheating step unique to the manufacturing process can effectively reduce the residual stress of the formed parts, reduce the temperature gradient, and refine the grains to prevent parts from cracking. If the energy density is too small, it will cause powder unmelted defects. If the energy density is too large, pores will appear due to the Marangoni effect. The appropriate energy density can reduce defects and the sample density is high. Summary of the invention

After the substrate reaches the preheating temperature, 24CrNiMo alloy steel is printed.

[0028] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0029] Example:

[0030] See also Figure 1-4, a method for improving the formability of 24CrNiMo alloy steel, comprising the following steps:

[0031] S1. Prepare alloy steel powder required for electron beam selective melting; wherein the required 24CrNiMo alloy powder is prepared by gas atomization, and the raw material mass percentages of the prepared 24CrNiMo alloy powder are: C: 0.2-0.25%, Cr: 0.9-1.25%, Ni: 0.9-1.3%, Si: 0.25-0.4%, Mo: 0.35-0.8%, Mn: 0.65-1.25%, and the balance is Fe element;

[0033] S3, printing parts under different preheating temperatures and process parameters;

[0034] The selected preheating temperature is 820℃, and the factors affecting the process parameters include current flow, scanning speed and powder bed preheating sintering time. The powder bin and forming bin are filled and the substrate is leveled, vacuumed, protective gas is charged, high voltage is turned on, electron beam is centered, the substrate is preheated, and process parameters are set. After the substrate reaches the preheating temperature, 24CrNiMo alloy steel is printed.

[0035] The particle size of the powder of 24CrNiMo alloy steel prepared by gas atomization in step S1 is between 50 and 120 μm.

[0036] The software used to construct the three-dimensional part in step S2 is Materialise Magic, the size is 10×10×5 mm, the slicing software is SL-EBM BuildPrepare, and the selected slice thickness is 50 μm.

The minimum powder bed preheating sintering time used for powder bed preheating sintering during the printing process is 20s, and the maximum powder bed preheating sintering time is 25s. The purpose of powder bed preheating is to better consolidate the 24CrNiMo alloy steel on the surface of the powder bed, so that the forming quality is better and to prevent powder blowing and peeling during the printing process.

[0038] The main operations in the substrate preheating process in step S3 are: the first stage: preheating the substrate to about 200°C with a current of 5mA and keeping it warm for 3 minutes; the second stage: adjusting the current to 10mA to preheat the substrate to about 500°C and keeping it warm for 5 minutes; the third stage: increasing the current to 15mA to preheat the substrate to about 700°C and keeping it warm for 10 minutes; the fourth stage: adjusting the current to 20mA to preheat the substrate to 820°C and keeping it warm for 10 minutes.

[0039] The present invention mainly adjusts the preheating temperature. The surface quality of the 24CrNiMo alloy steel printed at different preheating temperatures is different. Substrate preheating in additive manufacturing is an effective means to reduce thermal stress and the driving force of crack formation. With the increase of preheating temperature, the temperature gradient and thermal stress are reduced, which is conducive to inhibiting thermal cracks.

Increasing the power can reduce the temperature gradient of the molten pool, reduce the cooling rate, increase the cooling time, reduce the stress caused by shrinkage, and enhance the backfilling effect of the molten pool to inhibit the generation of cracks. The printed sample has the characteristics of high density, few defects and good surface quality. The energy density can be changed by increasing the current beam (I) and reducing the scanning speed (v). The calculation formula of energy density is:

[0042]

[0043] Wherein U: voltage 60kV, I: current flow, v: scanning speed, d: scanning spacing 80mm, h: printing layer thickness 50μm.

[0044] In this example, at the preheating temperature of 820℃, the minimum energy density is 26.3J / mm3 and the maximum energy density is 35.8J / mm3. If the energy density is too low, the powder will not be melted, and if the energy density is too high, the defect of pores will appear due to the Marangoni effect. The appropriate energy density can reduce the defects and the sample has a high density.
