Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology, and more specifically to an iron-based amorphous alloy suitable for use in additive manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] Additive manufacturing involves building up thin layers of material to create three-dimensional solid parts based on a computer-aided design (CAD) model. Compared to traditional equal-material manufacturing and subtractive manufacturing, additive manufacturing significantly shortens the production cycle of parts, has high material utilization, and is more efficient and flexible in design optimization. It is widely used in the design and manufacturing of high-performance parts in aerospace, energy, medical, and automotive fields, and these advantages have been demonstrated in production processes across various industries and different stages of product development cycles.

[0003] Ferro-based amorphous alloys have attracted much attention due to their excellent corrosion and wear resistance, ultra-high strength and hardness, and relatively low material cost. However, their application as structural materials is limited by their amorphous forming ability and machinability. Furthermore, the high hardness and brittleness of ferro-based amorphous alloys make them difficult to machine. Applying additive manufacturing technology to the forming of complex-shaped ferro-based amorphous alloy parts holds promise for solving these application challenges.

[0004] Existing iron-based amorphous alloy systems experience high stress during additive manufacturing, making them prone to defects such as cracks and porosity. Their poor formability and processability also hinder their application, limiting their suitability for additive manufacturing. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel iron-based amorphous alloy materials suitable for additive manufacturing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issues of limited variety, poor formability, and poor processability of iron-based amorphous alloys suitable for additive manufacturing, this invention aims to provide an iron-based amorphous alloy suitable for additive manufacturing and its preparation method.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is:

[0007] A type of iron-based amorphous alloy suitable for additive manufacturing has the following chemical composition by mass percentage: Cr: 20–22.5%; Mo: 15.2–16.1%; B: 1.9–2.8%; Si: 1.70–1.95%; C: 2.4–2.8%; Nb: 3.40–3.75%; V: 1.56–2.20%; Dy: 2.20–2.40%; Y: 0.50–0.69%, with the balance being Fe.

[0008] The method for additive manufacturing of iron-based amorphous alloys based on iron-based amorphous alloy powder specifically includes the following steps:

[0009] According to the designed composition ratio, iron-based amorphous alloy powder with a particle size of 15-53 μm was prepared by melting, atomizing and sieving. The iron-based amorphous alloy powder was used to prepare a bulk material by selective laser melting. A laser with a spot diameter of 90 μm was selected, and a scanning strategy of rotating the laser scanning direction by 90° for each layer was adopted. The laser power was set to 150W-250W, the scanning speed was 800-1000 mm / s, the scanning interval was 70 μm, and the powder layer thickness was 30 μm. The bulk sample of the iron-based amorphous alloy was additively manufactured on the substrate.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0011] This invention designs an iron-based amorphous alloy suitable for additive manufacturing. This alloy system exhibits good printability and excellent mechanical properties when used in additive manufacturing, with a microhardness reaching up to 1260 HV. The bulk additive body obtained through additive manufacturing achieves a Vickers hardness of 1100–1260 HV parallel to the substrate direction and 1000–1200 HV perpendicular to the substrate direction. In summary, the samples manufactured using the iron-based amorphous alloy exhibit good printability and formability, excellent bulk properties, high strength, and superior high-temperature performance. Detailed Implementation

[0012] This invention provides an iron-based amorphous alloy suitable for additive manufacturing. This iron-based amorphous alloy contains elements such as Fe, Cr, Mo, B, and C. The resulting additive manufacturing process exhibits good processability and formability, excellent bulk properties, high strength, and superior high-temperature performance.

Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0014] According to the above proportions, the materials are successively smelted, atomized, and sieved to obtain iron-based amorphous alloy powder with a diameter of 15-53 μm. The powder is then used to prepare iron-based amorphous alloy bulk material using selective laser melting technology. A laser with a spot diameter of 90 μm is selected, and a scanning strategy of rotating the laser scanning direction by 90° for each layer is adopted.
