Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material additive manufacturing, and in particular to a scanning method for selective laser melting forming GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy and GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy. Background Art
[0002] GH3536 nickel-based superalloy, also known as Hastelloy X alloy, is a typical solid solution strengthened nickel-based superalloy. Mainly based on nickel, with chromium and molybdenum as the main solid solution strengthening elements, it has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and shows good stability and load-bearing capacity in harsh environments. It is widely used in high-temperature components such as aerospace engine guide vanes, vortex exhaust pipes, combustion chamber honeycomb structures, and nuclear reactor combustion fuel jackets. However, the traditional method of manufacturing complex and high-precision GH3536 nickel-based superalloys requires longer production cycles and costs, and is prone to defects such as pores and cracks, which seriously limits the development of high-temperature component manufacturing.
[0003] Among additive manufacturing technologies, the most widely used is Selective Laser Melting. This technology stands out for its high precision and ability to produce complex parts in the process of rapid metal prototyping. SLM is an additive manufacturing process that uses laser to melt metal powder layer by layer to prepare three-dimensional structures. Compared with traditional forming processes, SLM has significant advantages in processing efficiency, material savings, and manufacturing of functional parts with complex geometries. It also has finer microstructures and extremely high dimensional accuracy. However, the GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy has a tendency to crack and has pores during the selective laser melting process. Designing a suitable laser scanning strategy can not only avoid the formation of alloy defects, but also improve the plasticity of the material without reducing the strength of the material.
[0004] GH3536 nickel-based superalloy is a solid solution strengthening superalloy material. In addition to the solid solution strengthening effect, the grain boundary strengthening of GH3536 nickel-based superalloy is also one of the strengthening effects. Due to the large number of grain boundaries, the material is prone to cracking. There is a greater tendency for defects to appear during the selective laser melting process. Optimizing the scanning strategy is an effective measure to suppress defects in the alloy. However, the existing selective laser melting process for preparing GH3536 nickel-based superalloy usually adopts a scanning strategy with an interlayer rotation angle of 0° / 90° / 67°. Patents on the chessboard scanning strategy for selective laser melting of GH3536 alloy have not yet been reported. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a scanning method for selective laser melting forming GH3536 nickel-based high temperature alloy and GH3536 nickel-based high temperature alloy.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A scanning method for selective laser melting of GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy, the steps are as follows:
[0007] Step S1, creating a three-dimensional solid model of GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy for selective laser melting forming;
[0008] Step S2, designing the laser scanning path, determining the basic process parameters, slicing the 3D solid model, and dividing it into multiple scanning layers from bottom to top, namely the first scanning layer, the second scanning layer, the third scanning layer, ... until the Nth scanning layer, and importing the sliced file into the selective laser melting forming equipment system; each scanning layer is evenly divided into a number of areas of the same shape, and adjacent areas of the first scanning layer are scanned in a manner of intersecting at a specific angle; the same area of adjacent scanning layers is scanned in a manner of intersecting at a specific angle;
[0009] Step S3, fixing the substrate in a forming chamber of the selective laser melting equipment, and cleaning and leveling the surface of the substrate;
[0010] Step S4, closing the hatch, selecting the imported GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy process parameters in the equipment control system, heating the substrate and starting the vacuum system;
[0011] Step S5, when the substrate temperature reaches 80°C and the oxygen content reaches 150ppm, start the device and print according to the laser scanning path of step S2;
[0012] Step S6, after printing the current scanning layer, the substrate is lowered by one layer, the powder tank is raised by one layer, the scraper spreads the powder, and prepares to print the next layer, and then enters step S7;
[0013] Step S7, repeat step S6 until all scan layers are printed.
[0014] The adjacent areas of the first scanning layer intersect at 90° or 67° and are gradually accumulated from left to right and from top to bottom.
[0015] The same area of adjacent scan layers intersects at 67°.
[0016] In step S2, the laser power is set to 200-220W.
[0017] In step S2, the laser scanning speed is set to 900-1100 mm / s.
[0018] In step S2, the thickness of the scanning layer is set to 30 μm.
[0019] In step S2, the laser scanning interval is set to 100 μm.
[0020] The GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy prepared by the selective laser melting forming GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy scanning method has no holes and cracks inside, and has a room temperature elongation greater than 40% and a high-temperature elongation greater than 55%.
[0021] Beneficial effects of the present invention: In the process of selective laser melting forming GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy, the key is to find printing process parameters and laser scanning strategies suitable for the alloy to reduce defects inside the alloy and optimize its microstructure, thereby improving its plasticity without sacrificing material strength. The scanning strategy of the technical solution of the present invention has an elongation of at least 10% higher than other scanning strategies. Under the same process parameters, the GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy prepared by the present invention is free of defects such as holes and cracks by comparing the scanning strategy method of the present invention with the existing scanning strategy, thereby improving tensile plasticity. The present invention provides a chessboard-shaped scanning strategy that rotates 67° layer by layer. During the printing process, the laser moves along the lines of the chessboard to form layers of cladding. This scanning method can reduce the concentration of thermal stress because the heat input in each small area is relatively uniform, avoiding stress concentration and part deformation caused by local overheating. Without reducing the strength of the GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy formed by selective laser melting, its tensile properties are significantly improved, further improving the safety of commercial GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy formed parts.

[0035] Step S4, closing the hatch, selecting the imported GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy process parameters in the equipment control system, heating the substrate and starting the vacuum system;
[0036] Step S5, when the substrate temperature reaches 80°C and the oxygen content reaches 150ppm, start the device and print according to the laser scanning path of step S2;
[0037] Step S6, after printing the current scanning layer, the substrate is lowered by one layer, the powder tank is raised by one layer, the scraper spreads the powder, and prepares to print the next layer, and then enters step S7;
[0038] Step S7, repeat step S6 until all scanning layers are printed.
[0039] Furthermore, adjacent areas of the first scanning layer intersect at 90° or 67° and are gradually accumulated from left to right and from top to bottom.
[0040] Furthermore, in step S2, for the formed rectangular block sample, each scanning layer is divided into a plurality of square areas, and these areas are scanned in the form of intersecting at a certain angle in the subsequent scanning layer. For example, when the size of the printed sample is 20mm×50mm×20mm, the entire area of the 20mm×50mm scanning layer is divided into a plurality of 5mm×5mm small areas, and the scanning tracks of each small area of the first scanning layer are 90° or 67° to the adjacent areas, and the second scanning layer is rotated 67° with the previous scanning layer, and rotates continuously in sequence, and repeats every 360 layers.
[0041] Furthermore, the same regions of adjacent scanning layers intersect at 67°.
[0042] Furthermore, in step S2, the laser power is set to 200-220W.
[0043] Furthermore, in step S2, the laser scanning speed is set to 900-1100 mm / s.
[0044] Furthermore, in step S2, the thickness of the scanning layer is set to 30 μm.

By adjusting the laser energy input density, the powder undermelting and overmelting phenomena are avoided, and the formation of holes and keyholes is reduced; at the same time, by reducing the residual stress generated during the forming process and optimizing the microstructure, the sensitivity of cracking of the GH3536 nickel-based superalloy formed by selective laser melting is reduced. A process window for preparing defect-free GH3536 nickel-based superalloy under five different scanning strategies (two embodiments and three comparative examples) is provided, which provides a reasonable process window for the selective laser melting of GH3536 nickel-based superalloy with different scanning strategies. The microstructure of the GH3536 nickel-based superalloy under five different scanning strategies is compared, and its tensile properties under two temperature conditions are analyzed, and a new chessboard scanning strategy is proposed. By adjusting the scanning path, the residual stress in the forming process can be reduced and the microstructure can be optimized, thereby improving tensile plasticity. The present invention provides a chessboard scanning strategy with a layer-by-layer rotation of 67°, which significantly improves the tensile properties of the GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy formed by selective laser melting without reducing its strength, and further improves the safety of commercial GH3536 nickel-based high-temperature alloy formed parts.
