Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular to an additive manufacturing forming method and a substrate cooling device. Background Art

[0002] Columnar crystal superalloys reduce the content of transverse grain boundaries and avoid the adverse effects of transverse grain boundaries on mechanical properties under high temperature environments, becoming a key material for modern aero-engine and gas turbine blades. Common methods for producing columnar crystals include casting, directional solidification (DS) and the laser energy deposition technology (DED) that has emerged in recent years. However, the disordered orientation of cast grains and the defects at the grain boundaries are the main causes of fracture failure of high-temperature service parts. Compared with traditional cast superalloys, DS superalloys have better high-temperature strength and thermal corrosion resistance, and are widely used in the manufacture of gas turbine and aero-engine turbine blades. However, they have the disadvantages of complex forming process, high cost, and difficulty in forming complex structural parts. The use of DED technology to form columnar crystals has the characteristics of high efficiency and simple operation, but because its laser trajectory is determined by the linkage of X, Y, and Z axes, the surface roughness and dimensional tolerance of the formed component are large, making it difficult to achieve direct forming of blades with fine and complex channels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0043] The following describes the additive manufacturing forming method of the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention uses laser powder bed melting technology to achieve direct rapid forming of columnar crystal materials. Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the additive manufacturing forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0044] S1. Prepare a substrate 5.

[0045] S2. Install the substrate 5 into the printing device.

[0046] S3. Adjust the position of the substrate 5 so that the powder 10 to be printed can be spread on the focal plane of the laser beam 2 emitted by the laser 1 of the printing device. Specifically, the printing powder 10 can be spread on the focal plane of the laser beam 2 emitted by the laser 1 of the printing device and form a powder bed.

[0047] S4, turn on the laser 1 to melt and solidify the printing powder 10 of the powder bed into the current layer. Specifically, the printing powder 10 is melted and solidified for the first time to form the first stage of the current layer.

[0048] S5, turning off the laser 1 for a first preset time, thereby allowing the current layer that has just been melted to cool.

[0049] S6, turning on the laser 1 to remelt the current layer (at the focal plane of the laser beam 2) formed in step S4 in situ. Specifically, after the current layer is cooled, the laser 1 is turned on again so that the laser beam 2 can melt the current layer formed in step S4 again, and the laser 1 is turned off after a certain period of time to complete the second stage of the current layer, thereby completing the printing of the current layer.

[0050] The steps S3, S4, S5 and S6 are repeated in sequence until the printing is completed. Specifically, the steps S3, S4, S5 and S6 are repeated in sequence for multiple times to complete the multi-layer printing.

[0051] According to the additive manufacturing forming method of the embodiment of the present invention, when printing the current layer (formed by melting the printing powder 10), the printing powder 10 is first melted to form the current layer (first stage), and then the current layer (first stage) is cooled, and then the current layer (first stage) is remelted in situ to form the current layer of the finished product. In this way, the temperature gradient between adjacent layers can be increased, and the growth of columnar grains can be promoted. In addition, the surface roughness and dimensional tolerance of the formed component are small, so as to realize the direct forming of blades with fine and complex channels.

[0052] Therefore, the additive manufacturing forming method according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of promoting the epitaxial growth of columnar grains.

[0053] The following is a detailed description of the additive manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with a printing device. Specifically, a sample model is first established, and three-dimensional modeling is performed during the laser powder bed fusion forming process. First, a three-dimensional model of the part is drawn, and the drawn three-dimensional model is sliced ​​layer by layer using software, and the cross-sectional information is saved on the two-dimensional slices to generate file data.

[0054] Step S1, preparing a substrate 5.

[0055] In step S1, at least a portion of the substrate 5 is cooled so that the temperature of at least a portion of the substrate 5 is less than or equal to a second preset value. The purpose of cooling the substrate 5 is to increase the temperature gradient during laser powder bed melting and promote epitaxial growth of columnar grains.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in step S1, the substrate 5 includes a first substrate 51 and a directional solidification substrate 52. Specifically, the directional solidification substrate 52 is made of the same material as the printing powder 10. During the laser powder bed melting process, the crystal structure of the substrate 5 has an influence on the crystal growth orientation of the formed part, and the columnar crystal substrate of the directional solidification substrate 52 (DS substrate) is more conducive to the epitaxial growth of columnar grains during the forming process.

[0057] A first groove is formed on the upper surface of the first substrate 51, and after the directional solidification substrate 52 is cooled so that the temperature of the directional solidification substrate 52 is less than or equal to the second preset value, the directional solidification substrate 52 is installed in the first groove so that the upper surface of the directional solidification substrate 52 is coplanar with the upper surface of the first substrate 51. For example, a first groove of 100 mm × 100 mm × 20 mm is cut on a stainless steel substrate of 245 mm × 245 mm × 30 mm by machining, and a directional solidification substrate 52 of 100 mm × 100 mm × 20 mm is made so that the directional solidification substrate 52 is placed in the first groove. The first electrode 51 is a 304L stainless steel substrate, and the directional solidification substrate 52 and the printing powder 10 are made of a nickel-based super alloy (CM247LC).

[0058] In step S1, the directional solidification substrate 52 is placed in liquid nitrogen for cooling for a third preset time so that the temperature of the directional solidification substrate 52 is less than or equal to the second preset value. Specifically, the temperature of the directional solidification substrate 52 after cooling is greater than or equal to -10°C and less than or equal to 0°C. The directional solidification substrate 52 is placed in liquid nitrogen for a cooling time greater than or equal to 15 minutes. For example, the directional solidification substrate 52 is placed in liquid nitrogen for rapid cooling, and is taken out after being kept warm for 30 minutes, and the directional solidification substrate 52 is placed in the first tank.

[0059] In some embodiments, the temperature of the directionally solidified substrate 52 after cooling is -4°C.

[0060] Step S2, installing the substrate 5 into the printing device. Specifically, the substrate 5 is installed on the adjustment device of the printing cylinder 8, the thickness direction of the substrate 5 is the up-down direction, and the exposed surface of the directional solidification substrate 52 faces the upper side. Clean the forming chamber 3, and introduce inert gas (argon) to prepare for gas washing, so as to clean the forming chamber 3.

[0061] Step S3, adjust the position of the substrate 5 so that the powder 10 to be printed can be spread flat on the focal plane of the laser beam 2 emitted by the laser 1 of the printing device. Specifically, during the printing process, the substrate 5 is lowered, the powder cylinder 9 is raised, the printing powder 10 is loaded, and the laser 1 prints according to the set scanning path. For example, the substrate 5 is lowered so that the plane of the substrate 5 is located at the focal plane of the laser beam 2; the forming cylinder 8 is filled with the printing powder 10.

[0062] In some embodiments, in step S3, at the initial position, the upper surface of the directional solidification substrate 52 is located at the focal plane of the laser beam 2, so as to facilitate the printing powder 10 to be spread on the directional solidification substrate 52 to form a powder bed.

[0063] Step S4, turn on the laser 1 to melt and solidify the printing powder 10 of the powder bed into the current layer. Specifically, the equipment forming control software reads the file, and the scraper 4 spreads a layer of printing powder 10 on the substrate 5, and can scrape the printing powder 10 (metal powder) on the powder cylinder 9 onto the substrate 5, and flatten the forming cylinder 8 so that the two are on the same horizontal plane. The waste powder 7 can be scraped into the waste powder barrel 6, and the laser 1 is turned on under the control of the computer, and the printing powder 10 (metal powder) in the slicing area is melted by the laser beam, and the optimized columnar crystal forming process parameters are used for forming to form the current layer (the first stage).

[0064] Step S5, turn off the laser 1 for a first preset time. After the current layer (of the first stage) is formed, the position of the substrate 5 remains unchanged, the laser 1 is turned off, and a pause is performed between layers. In this way, the current layer (of the first stage) that has just been melted and formed can be cooled.

[0065] In step S5, the time for turning off the laser 1 is greater than or equal to 3 seconds and less than or equal to 30 seconds. For example, in step S5, the time for turning off the laser 1 is 10 seconds.

[0066] Step S6, turn on the laser 1 to remelt the current layer (at the focal plane of the laser beam 2) formed in step S4 in situ. Specifically, after the current layer (of the first stage) cools down, turn on the laser 1 again and perform in-situ remelting using the original scanning parameters to increase the temperature gradient between adjacent layers (the current layer and the previous printed layer) and promote the growth of columnar grains, so that the current layer (second stage) can be formed. Turn off the laser 1 after completing the in-situ remelting of the current layer.

[0067] Steps S3, S4, S5 and S6 are repeated in sequence until the printing is completed. After the in-situ remelting is formed into the current layer, the substrate 5 is lowered by a layer thickness, the powder cylinder 9 is raised by 1.5-2 layer thicknesses (printing slices), and the scraper 4 is re-laid with a layer of printing powder 10 (metal powder). The above process is repeated, layer by layer, until the metal part is printed. After printing, the powder is cleaned, machined, and other processes are performed.

[0068] After printing is completed, the sample can be subjected to metallographic processing, the sample can be observed and the structure can be analyzed. For example, in a specific embodiment of laser powder bed fusion forming CM247LC ultrafine columnar crystals, metallographic processing is performed after printing is completed, the sample can be observed and the structure can be analyzed. Figure 5 The light microscope image of the forming area is as follows: Figure 6 It is the organization orientation diagram (the grain orientation diagram of the repaired area organization), that is, the organization grain orientation diagram. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it has been realized <001> Oriented (preferred orientation of high-temperature alloys) columnar grains grow epitaxially along the substrate. Figure 7Laser powder bed fusion forming CM247LC ultra-fine columnar crystal <001> Texture. After observing the sample structure, it can be found that the ultra-fine columnar crystal structure formed by laser powder bed melting is within the range of 4mm*3mm. <001> The texture content can reach more than 90%, which can realize the preparation of ultrafine columnar crystals.

[0069] The present invention uses laser powder bed melting technology to form ultrafine columnar crystal materials. The forming substrate of the directional solidification substrate 52 is cooled by liquid nitrogen to increase the temperature gradient during the forming process. In the forming process, a strategy of in-situ remelting after pausing between layers (for a period of time) is adopted to achieve active regulation of the epitaxial growth of columnar crystals, control the epitaxial growth of columnar crystals, prepare ultrafine columnar crystals, and achieve rapid forming of columnar crystal components. In addition, compared with directional solidification and direct laser energy deposition technologies, laser powder bed melting technology has the characteristics of high precision and denser formed components, and can realize direct forming and repair of blades with complex cooling structures, such as complex structure blades with fine cooling channels. Laser powder bed melting forming of CM247LC high-temperature alloy can achieve a full columnar crystal structure, <001> The texture ratio is greater than 90%. The specific parameters are: laser power 150W-200W, scanning rate 750mm / s-1000mm / s, scanning spacing 40μm-80μm, powder layer thickness 30μm-40μm.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention further proposes a substrate cooling device suitable for the additive manufacturing forming method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The liquid nitrogen inlet 112 is arranged below the placement rack 13, and the nitrogen outlet 113 is arranged at the top of the side of the box body 11. For example, the box body 11 and the box cover 12 are made of stainless steel. The liquid nitrogen inlet 112 and the nitrogen outlet 113 are located on both sides of the box body 11 facing away.

[0072] The thermometer is arranged in the box 11. Specifically, the thermometer includes a first thermometer 14 and a second thermometer 15, the first thermometer 14 is arranged on the inner surface of the box cover 12, and the second thermometer 15 is arranged on the inner surface of the bottom of the box 11 through a bracket, and the second thermometer 15 is located below the placement rack 13.

[0073] The placement rack 13 is arranged in the box body 11, and the placement rack 13 is used to support the substrate 5. For example, the placement rack 13 is made of a plurality of metal bars arranged side by side.

[0074] The substrate cooling device according to the embodiment of the present invention facilitates cooling of the substrate 5 (directional solidification substrate 52 ).
