[0002] In the additive manufacturing process, in order to eliminate the residual stress inside the parts, heat treatment is required after printing to prevent subsequent deformation of the parts. The heat treatment process is an important basic process.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a high-temperature alloy thin-walled cylindrical part, comprising:

[0032] Establish a three-dimensional model of thin-walled cylindrical parts;

[0037] The intermediate thin-walled cylindrical part is heat treated according to the final heat treatment process parameters to obtain the final thin-walled cylindrical part.

[0038] The present invention performs heat treatment simulation optimization on the three-dimensional mesh model of the thin-walled cylindrical part to obtain the final heat treatment process parameters, and performs heat treatment on the intermediate thin-walled cylindrical part printed by 3D according to the final heat treatment process parameters to obtain the final thin-walled cylindrical part. The present invention can reduce the deformation of the final thin-walled cylindrical part by simulating and optimizing the heat treatment process while ensuring that the size of the final thin-walled cylindrical part remains unchanged, without the need to modify the existing equipment, and effectively reducing the workload of subsequent processing.

[0039] In order to reduce deformation, in this embodiment, heat treatment simulation optimization is performed based on the three-dimensional mesh model and material parameters of the thin-walled cylindrical part to obtain the final heat treatment process parameters, which specifically include:

[0040] Set the adjustment range of heat treatment process parameters;

[0041] Heat treatment simulation is performed according to the three-dimensional mesh model of the thin-walled cylindrical part, material parameters and the adjustment range of the heat treatment process parameters to obtain intermediate heat treatment simulation results; and the heat treatment process parameters corresponding to the intermediate heat treatment simulation results with the smallest deformation in the intermediate heat treatment simulation results are used as the final heat treatment process parameters.

[0042] Since the holding time, cooling rate, annealing temperature and other factors in the heat treatment process may cause heat treatment deformation, appropriate heat treatment parameters are of great significance for improving the printing accuracy of additive manufacturing, improving production level and reducing costs. In this embodiment, the heat treatment process parameters include: heating rate, annealing temperature, cooling rate and holding time.

[0043] Among them, heat treatment simulation is performed according to the three-dimensional mesh model of the thin-walled cylindrical part, the material parameters and the adjustment range of the heat treatment process parameters to obtain the intermediate heat treatment simulation results, and the heat treatment process parameters corresponding to the intermediate heat treatment simulation results with the smallest deformation in the intermediate heat treatment simulation results are used as the final heat treatment process parameters, specifically including:

[0044] Under the condition that the holding time and the cooling rate remain unchanged, heat treatment simulation is performed according to the three-dimensional mesh model and material parameters of the thin-walled cylindrical part within the adjustment range of the annealing temperature, and the annealing temperature corresponding to the intermediate heat treatment simulation result with the smallest deformation among the intermediate heat treatment simulation results is used as the final annealing temperature;

[0045] When the annealing temperature is the final annealing temperature and the cooling rate is unchanged, heat treatment simulation is performed according to the three-dimensional mesh model and material parameters of the thin-walled cylindrical part within the adjustment range of the holding time, and the holding time corresponding to the intermediate heat treatment simulation result with the smallest deformation in the intermediate heat treatment simulation results is taken as the final holding time;

[0047] The annealing temperature is adjusted in the range of 650°C to 1050°C, the holding time is adjusted in the range of 1h to 4h, and the cooling rate is adjusted in the range of 50 to 200°C / h.

[0048] In this embodiment, the heat treatment simulation results include thermal stress, deformation, and deformation distribution cloud diagram.

[0049] Among them, thermal stress indicates the magnitude of stress generated in different areas; deformation indicates the actual deformation of each point; and the stress-deformation distribution cloud map is generated based on the deformation and thermal stress data. According to the numerical value of the deformation, the degree of deformation in each area can be evaluated. Large deformation areas usually indicate the presence of stress concentration or uneven heat treatment. The stress-deformation distribution cloud map shows the deformation and stress distribution in different areas. Areas with severe deformation are identified based on the deformation distribution cloud map. Therefore, this embodiment can determine the heat treatment parameters that need to be improved through the deformation values ​​shown in the figure: annealing temperature, cooling rate, and holding time to reduce deformation.

[0050] Therefore, the final heat treatment process parameters in this embodiment include: annealing temperature of 700° C., holding time of 1 h, and cooling rate of 200° C. / h.

[0051] In this embodiment, the thin-walled cylindrical member has a diameter of 120 mm, a height of 100 mm, and a wall thickness of 1 mm.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material parameter includes a material type, and the material type is GH4169.

[0053] In this embodiment, the 3D printing process parameters include: substrate preheating temperature, laser power, scanning speed, laser spot diameter, layer thickness and scanning spacing.

[0054] In this embodiment, the 3D printing process parameters include: substrate preheating temperature of 100° C., laser power of 180 W, scanning speed of 850 mm / s, laser spot diameter of 60 μm, layer thickness of 30 μm, and scanning spacing of 0.08 mm.

[0055] The present invention also provides a high-temperature alloy thin-walled cylindrical part, which is manufactured using any of the above-mentioned methods for manufacturing a high-temperature alloy thin-walled cylindrical part.

[0056] In this embodiment, a box-type resistance furnace is used for the actual heat treatment in this embodiment.

[0070] In S4, a heat treatment simulation is performed according to the three-dimensional mesh model of the thin-walled cylindrical part, the material parameters, and the adjustment range of the heat treatment process parameters to obtain the intermediate heat treatment simulation results, including:
