Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to a technical method for heat treatment of metal materials, and specifically relates to a heat treatment method for cold metal transition arc additive manufacturing of GW63K magnesium alloy. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight rare earth magnesium alloys (Mg-RE) are gaining increasing attention in the automotive, aerospace, and aircraft sectors because of the excellent properties that can be achieved through customized heat treatment schemes. Moreover, the aforementioned advanced equipment manufacturing industries attach great importance to the development of large-size, monolithic lightweight components. However, due to the special hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure of Mg-RE alloys, their machinability at room temperature is poor. Therefore, there is a great need to shift the research focus to the emerging additive manufacturing (AM) process, which is known for its ability to manufacture components with complex geometries.

[0003] So far, some studies have successfully applied the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process to the preparation of Mg-RE alloy parts. However, the yield strength and elongation of Mg-RE alloys prepared by the reported wire arc additive manufacturing method are limited to 200-220 MPa and 2%-7%, respectively. In addition, the effects of different heat treatment parameters on the type and precipitation behavior of nanoprecipitates in Mg-RE alloys have not been clearly understood.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a heat treatment method suitable for arc additive manufacturing of Mg-RE alloys to improve the age hardening ability and strength. Summary of the invention

[0037] Performance testing: Characterization of heat treatment microstructure evolution: In order to compare the effect of the microstructure change of the material after heat treatment on the performance and clarify the relationship between the two, it is first necessary to understand the microstructural evolution of GW63K prepared by CMT-WAAM under different heat treatment regimes. Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the microstructure of CMT-WAAM GW63K alloy at different solution temperatures and times was characterized by OM (Optical microscope, OM). Figure 2 In (a), Figure 2 (b) in Figure 2 shows that after solution treatment at 400 °C and 425 °C for 2 h, a large amount of residual eutectic phase remains at the grain boundaries and is not completely dissolved. Figure 2 (c) in the figure shows that after solution treatment at 450 °C for 2 h, the eutectic phase at the grain boundary has been completely dissolved, and the submicron precipitates are uniformly dispersed in the α-Mg matrix. Figure 2 (d) in Figure 3 shows that after solution heat treatment at 475 °C for 2 h, the grains grow abnormally. Figure 2 It can be seen from (e) and (f) in Figure 1 that when the solution treatment temperature exceeds 475 ℃, the grains of CMT-WAAM GW63K alloy grow abnormally (>100 μm), which is unfavorable to the properties of the alloy. In summary, short-time solution treatment at 450 ℃ can optimize the grain size and precipitation phase morphology of CMT-WAAM GW63K alloy.

[0038] Age hardening curve: like Figure 3As shown in Figure 2, the age-hardening response of solution-treated CMT-WAAM GW63K samples was investigated at an aging temperature of 200°C. The hardness of the solution-treated sample was close to 71±1 HV0.1, which was lower than the hardness of the original sample (81±2HV0.1). The reduction in hardness was due to the diffusion of Gd and Y elements during solution heat treatment and the reduction in the volume fraction of the high-hardness Mg24(Gd,Y)5 eutectic phase. After aging, the hardness first increased with time, reaching a peak at about 96 hours, and then gradually decreased. The initial rapid increase in hardness was due to the high supersaturation of alloying elements, which led to the rapid appearance of a large number of precipitates in the early aging state. According to the curve fitting results, the aging condition of 200°C and 96 hours was determined to be the peak aging regime, and the maximum hardness obtained was 119±2 HV0.1.

[0039] Microstructural characterization of the preferred heat treatment regime: In Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloys, nanoscale precipitates are often formed after T6 treatment. In order to detect and characterize these fine precipitates, TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy, TEM) analysis was performed to understand the morphology and distribution at the nanoscale in detail. Figure 4 (a) shows the morphology and distribution of the β′ phase. The β′ phase in the T6 treated sample is arranged in an elliptical triangle along the matrix. Figure 4 The results shown in (b) indicate that the nano-β′ precipitated phase is mainly rich in Gd and Y. Figure 4 The selected area electron diffraction pattern in (c) shows that there are additional diffraction spots at the diffraction points of the matrix. Figure 4 As shown in (e), the size of the nano-β′ phase is about 32.9 nm in length and 10.5 nm in width. Due to the precipitation of these β′ phases, the microstructure of the GW63K magnesium alloy is effectively improved. Therefore, the obtained material has greatly improved strength while meeting the requirements of plasticity and hardness, achieving an excellent strength-toughness synergistic effect.

[0040] Room temperature tensile test: The room temperature tensile test was carried out on the GW63K alloy prepared by CMT-WAAM before and after heat treatment. According to the requirements of GB / T228.1-2010 "Metallic Materials Tensile Test Part 1: Room Temperature Test Method", standard tensile specimens were made and room temperature tensile tests were carried out using SUNS UTM2000 universal testing machine.

[0041] The mechanical properties of CMT-WAAM GW63K samples before and after heat treatment were tested and compared. Figure 5The specific values ​​are shown in Table 2. The yield strength (YS) of the As-built sample is 148 ± 1 MPa, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) is 267 ± 3 MPa, and the elongation (EL) is 13.7 ± 0.1%. After solution treatment, the UTS and YS of the WAAM-T4 sample slightly decreased, while the EL increased significantly to 26.6 ± 0.9%. The aging process significantly increased the strength of the T6 sample. More specifically, the YS of the WAAM-T6 sample is 246 ± 2 MPa, the UTS is 364 ± 5 ​​MPa, and the EL is 6.9 ± 0.2%.
