Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular to a steel material for 3D printing and a 3D printing method. Background Art
[0002] At present, the use of 3D printing technology to form complex components has many advantages: including the combination of multiple components through functional integration, lightweighting through topological optimization, direct forming of complex internal structures, and direct forming of final parts. Ultra-high-strength steel materials are mainly used to manufacture structural parts that withstand high stress and are often used in important fields such as aerospace and rail transportation. Therefore, the use of 3D printing to form ultra-high-strength steel structural parts can achieve lightweight design, shorten delivery cycles, reduce the number of components, and improve structural stability. It has broad application prospects and important market value.
[0003] The tensile strength of traditional ultra-high strength steel materials that have been industrially applied can reach about 2400-2600MPa, such as AerMet340, 18Ni350, 13Ni400 and other materials, and have certain plastic toughness. The existing 3D printing high-strength steel materials mainly include 18Ni300, S136, and H13, which have problems such as insufficient maximum strength, poor plastic toughness, easy thermal cracking and cracking of carbon-containing steel. Among them, 18Ni300 is a martensitic aging steel. After aging heat treatment, the strength can reach 2100MPa, but the elongation is about 4%, and the strength-plasticity product is only 8GPa%. S136 and H13 have medium and low carbon contents and are commonly used in the mold industry. After tempering heat treatment, the tensile strength is 1700-1900MPa, the elongation is 5-7%, the plastic toughness is poor, and when using 3D printing technology to form, it is easy to cause thermal cracks caused by low-melting point carbides, as well as macro cracking caused by stress accumulation and insufficient toughness.
[0004] For example, CN112404420A discloses a high-strength steel powder for 3D printing, a preparation method thereof, a 3D printing method and the obtained high-strength steel. The high-strength steel powder for 3D printing comprises, by mass percentage, 0.15%-0.3% C, 0.4%-0.6% V, 0.8%-1.2% Ti, 0.8%-1.5% Mo, 2.5%-4% Cr, 10%-12% Ni, 12%-15% Co, and the balance is Fe.
[0005] For example, CN112831721A discloses an additively manufactured ultra-high strength plastic steel material and a preparation method thereof, which is prepared from the following components in mass fractions: 0.20-0.58% C, 5.5-8.9% Ni, 0.35-2.8% Mn, 0.20-1.3% Si, 0.3-1.5% Cr, 0.50-0.60% Mo, 0.54-1.08% V, and the remainder is Fe. The additively manufactured ultra-high strength steel has a yield strength of ≥927MPa after tempering and a tensile strength of ≥1650MPa.
[0006] In summary, the strength of 3D printed products obtained from existing high-strength printing materials does not exceed 2200MPa. Therefore, it is necessary to develop ultra-high-strength steel materials that are suitable for 3D printing technology, not easy to crack, have a strength exceeding 2200MPa, and have certain plasticity and toughness. Summary of the invention
[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a steel material for 3D printing and a 3D printing method to solve the defect of poor mechanical properties of existing 3D printed products.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the steel material for 3D printing includes, by mass percentage:
[0013] Ni 14-17%, Co 12-17%, Mo 4-10%, Ti 0.7-1.6%, Al 0.18-0.3%, C<0.03%, Si≤0.01%, Mn≤0.01%, the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities, the total mass percentage of Ni and Mo is ≤25%.
[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a 3D printing method, comprising: using the steel material for 3D printing as described in the first aspect as a printing raw material for 3D printing, and then performing heat treatment to obtain a 3D printed product.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the content of deposited retained austenite in the material obtained by 3D printing is greater than 20%, and the heat treatment includes a first heat treatment, a first cooling, a second heat treatment and a second cooling performed in sequence.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the heating rate in the first heat treatment is 3-10°C / min.
[0017] Preferably, the holding temperature in the first heat treatment is 850-1050°C.
[0018] Preferably, the holding time in the first heat treatment is 0.5-1.5h.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the heating rate in the second heat treatment is 3-10°C / min.

[0026] Preferably, the holding temperature in the third heat treatment is 460-510°C.
[0027] Preferably, the holding time in the third heat treatment is 4-10 hours.
[0028] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the third cooling method includes air cooling.
[0029] Compared with the prior art solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] (1) The present invention redesigns the material composition based on the process characteristics of 3D printing technology, and regulates the microstructure through the combination of composition and heat treatment, including grain size, residual / reversed austenite ratio and distribution, size and distribution of second phase particles, etc., so as to achieve ultra-high strength while maintaining a certain plasticity and toughness.
[0031] (2) The steel material provided by the present invention is ultra-high strength steel, specifically low-carbon / carbon-free steel, the carbon content of which is controlled below 0.03%, and no thermal cracks are generated during the forming process; carbon significantly improves the strength of steel in the form of solid solution and carbide, but it also reduces the plasticity and toughness of steel. In addition, when carbon-containing steel materials are formed by 3D printing technology, the low-melting-point carbides are easily torn by rapid cooling in the final stage of solidification to produce high tensile stress and form cracks. In addition, since carbon steel has lower toughness, when the deformation caused by thermal stress reaches a certain extent, macroscopic cracking will occur in the formed part. The microstructure is mainly composed of low-carbon / carbon-free martensite with good plasticity and toughness, as well as a small amount of residual austenite, and has good toughness. Macroscopic cracking is not easy to occur when forming large-sized components.
[0032] (3) The steel material provided by the present invention contains 14.0-20.0% nickel to avoid the generation of ferrite and pearlite during high-temperature cooling (3D printing solidification and heat treatment). At the same time, the nickel content does not exceed 20% to avoid the transformation of the microstructure to austenite and reduce the strength of the material.
[0033] (4) The steel material provided by the present invention contains 10.0-17.0% cobalt. Cobalt is mainly used to control (increase) the Ms point, that is, the temperature at which supercooled austenite begins to transform into martensite, to control the ratio of martensite / austenite. At the same time, it reduces the stacking fault energy, increases the work hardening stress, reduces the solubility of Mo, and maintains a certain density of dislocations to provide nucleation sites for the second phase particles.
[0034] (5) The steel material provided by the present invention contains a certain proportion of Mo, Ti, and Al. These elements form strengthening phase particles such as Ni3Mo, Ni3Ti, Ni3Al, and Fe2Mo during heat treatment, greatly improving the strength of the material.
[0035] (6) When the total content of Mo and Ni in the steel material provided by the present invention is too high, sufficient strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, in the present invention, the total mass percentage of Ni+Mo is controlled within 25%. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
