Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing of lattice metals, and specifically relates to an additively manufactured high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure, a preparation method, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of equipment in the aerospace, shipbuilding, and other sectors, high-end equipment has placed higher demands on the vibration and noise reduction performance of its components. For example, for some critical equipment within a ship, vibration can cause fatigue, wear, and even fracture in mechanical components. Vibration damage to critical equipment (such as engines and generators) can be reduced by installing vibration-damping bases or damping materials. Over the long term, vibration can cause cracks in components such as the tail cowling and wind vanes, seriously impacting the aircraft's flight reliability and service life. High-speed flight can easily damage the tail fin due to resonance, causing the aircraft to change direction and leading to serious consequences such as insufficient precision and equipment damage. Today, with the rapid development of both civilian industry and defense equipment, the new generation of high-end equipment, such as aerospace and shipbuilding, is placing even higher demands on the vibration and noise reduction performance of its components. Vibration and noise reduction have become a key technical bottleneck restricting the high-performance service of mechanical equipment in sectors such as shipbuilding and aerospace.

[0003] Manganese-copper alloy is a typical twin-crystal damping alloy. Its combination of high strength and high damping performance has led to its widespread use in aerospace and deep-sea applications. The rapid development of high-end equipment in aerospace, shipbuilding, and other sectors has placed higher demands on the damping performance of manganese-copper alloys. However, the difficulty in forming these high-strength, highly complex manganese-copper damping alloys has severely limited their widespread application.

[0004] The rapid development of additive manufacturing technology has made it possible to prepare high-strength and high-complexity manganese-copper damping alloy structures. Porous lattice structures are another effective way to improve the overall damping performance of components. The lattice structure based on manganese-copper damping alloy has obvious advantages in mechanical properties, anti-aging properties, corrosion resistance, etc., showing broad application prospects and scientific value. However, due to the volatility of manganese and the low laser absorption rate of copper, the manganese-copper damping alloy lattice structure is prone to many problems such as insufficient damping performance, poor mechanical properties, high porosity, and manganese burnout during the additive manufacturing process. At the same time, when using conventional processes to print manganese-copper alloy for a long time, the volatilization of manganese may cause the element to accumulate on the laser lens, which will cause damage to the galvanometer system of the additive manufacturing equipment and cause large economic losses. The above technical difficulties have seriously restricted the widespread application of manganese-copper alloy.

[0005] At present, there are relatively few studies on additively manufactured manganese-copper damping alloys in China. There are no related reports at home and abroad on improving the vibration reduction effect based on lattice structure design and realizing the effective preparation of high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure through pre-printing processing, autonomous partition scanning strategy, and multiple scanning layer by layer. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure manufactured by additive manufacturing, a preparation method and an application thereof.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

The lattice unit cell consists of a vertex-reinforced rod-type structure. In a cubic space with a side length of L, every two farthest vertices are connected in pairs to form four connecting rods A. The vertices on the six surfaces of the cubic space are connected diagonally to form 12 connecting rods B. The center point connected by the four connecting rods A is reinforced by a sphere C, and the vertex connected by every three connecting rods B is reinforced by a 1 / 4 sphere C. The connection between the lattice unit cell rod-type structure and the sphere C is rounded and expanded in the horizontal and vertical directions to obtain a high-damping manganese-based alloy lattice structure. The high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure has a damping ratio of not less than 0.085 at a frequency of 0.01 Hz to 10 Hz.

After pre-printing the formed substrate, use a laser melting additive manufacturing process to prepare the high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure. The laser melting additive manufacturing process is characterized by autonomous partition scanning and multiple layer-by-layer scanning.

[0014] Step 3: heat treat the high damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure obtained in step 2. The heat treatment method is solution treatment plus aging treatment. The solution treatment temperature is 850°C~930°C, the solution treatment time is 1 hour~2 hours, the aging treatment temperature is 400°C~450°C, and the aging treatment time is 1 hour~4 hours.

[0015] Furthermore, the pre-printing process described in step 2 refers to scanning and printing on the entire forming surface of the substrate, with a printing power of 75W~250W, a scanning speed of 600mm / s~1000mm / s, a scanning interval of 80μm~100μm, a single layer thickness of 20μm~40μm, a scanning angle of 45°~90°, and a volume energy density of 31.25J / mm 3 ~83.33J / mm 3 ; Total pre-print height 1mm~5mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the autonomous partitioning scanning strategy described in step 2 is to achieve autonomous partitioning of different cross sections of the cross sections of the lattice structure connecting rod A, connecting rod B and sphere C through three-dimensional model split modeling; different areas adopt different scanning strategies, among which the scanning strategy for connecting rods A and connecting rods B is strip scanning with a strip width of 2mm~10mm and an interlayer rotation angle of 0°~67°, and sphere C adopts a circular scanning strategy.

[0017] Furthermore, the layer-by-layer multiple scanning described in step 2 is: when the weight percentage of manganese is not higher than 77.5%, each layer is scanned twice, and when the weight percentage of manganese is higher than 77.5%, each layer is scanned not less than 3 times; the printing power is 40W~150W, the scanning speed is 600mm / s~1200mm / s, the scanning interval is 90μm~120μm, the single layer thickness is 20μm~40μm, the scanning angle is 45°~90°, and the volume energy density is 17.3J / mm 3 ~83.3J / mm 3 .

[0021] 2. Good mechanical properties. The present invention uses selective laser melting to additively manufacture a high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure. The lattice structure has a unique reinforced spherical design, which significantly enhances its mechanical properties. At the same time, through the innovative development of pre-printing processing, autonomous partition scanning strategy, and layer-by-layer multiple scanning as the characteristic selective laser additive manufacturing process, the integrated preparation of the high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure is achieved. The prepared lattice structure has good mechanical properties and a density of not less than 99%.

[0022] 3. Effective control of manganese content. Through the innovative use of a selective laser additive manufacturing process that combines an autonomous partition scanning strategy with multiple layer-by-layer scanning, the energy intensity of each layer of the manganese-copper alloy during the laser additive manufacturing process is effectively reduced. Through the autonomous partition scanning strategy and the additive manufacturing process of multiple layer-by-layer scanning, while maintaining the overall energy intensity required for the effective forming of the manganese-copper alloy lattice structure, the volatilization of the manganese element is reduced, effectively controlling the manganese element in the high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure, so that the manganese content in the prepared high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structure does not exceed 3‰ compared to the burnout of the raw material.

The present invention innovatively uses a layer-by-layer multiple scanning process to achieve the effective preparation of high-damping manganese-copper alloy lattice structures. At the same time, it effectively suppresses the burning and volatilization of manganese elements during the preparation process, effectively reduces the sintering problem of volatilized manganese elements on the galvanometer of the additive manufacturing equipment, avoids damage to the equipment galvanometer system, effectively improves the stability of equipment operation, and extends the stable production time of the additively manufactured manganese-copper alloy lattice structure.
