Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and specifically, to a high-strength and corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membrane. Background Art
[0002] In the continuous development process of materials science, the research and development of high-performance materials has always been the core element for various industries to achieve technological breakthroughs and innovations. In recent years, with the increasingly stringent requirements for material properties in the industrial field, materials with multiple excellent characteristics have become a research hotspot, especially porous hydrophobic membranes. Porous hydrophobic membranes are commonly used in fields such as oil-water separation, seawater desalination, drug purification, oil purification, air purification, etc., among which high-strength and corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membranes have attracted much attention.
[0003] Superhydrophobic materials refer to materials with a water contact angle greater than 150° and a rolling angle less than 10° on the material surface, and can be applied in fields such as self-cleaning, anti-fogging, anti-icing, drag reduction, and oil-water separation. Superhydrophobic materials are usually constructed through two approaches. One is to modify low-surface-energy substances on the surface with micro-nano rough structures; the other is to construct micro-nano rough structures on the surface of substances with low surface energy.
[0004] There are many methods for preparing the superhydrophobic surface of superhydrophobic membrane materials, including etching, electrochemistry, chemical vapor deposition, template extrusion, electrospinning, chemical corrosion, phase separation, sol-gel, self-assembly, etc., but there are some defects in all of them. As a kind of rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing is a technology that constructs objects by layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files, using powdery metals or plastics and other bondable materials. This simple, fast, and environmentally friendly method for preparing ordered porous superhydrophobic membranes has good application value.
[0005] 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing technology, can precisely control the stacking position and shape of materials, and achieve precise design and manufacturing of the pore structure of porous membranes. Using 3D printing technology to prepare high-strength and corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membranes can customize unique pore structures according to different application requirements, thereby optimizing the hydrophobic and mechanical properties of the membranes. In addition, 3D printing technology also has advantages such as short manufacturing cycle, high material utilization rate, and the ability to achieve personalized manufacturing, providing the possibility for large-scale production of high-performance corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membranes.
[0006] However, currently, the corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membranes prepared by 3D printing still need to improve in terms of tensile strength. To meet the growing demand for high-performance materials in various industries, it is of great practical significance to develop a high-strength and corrosion-resistant titanium alloy porous hydrophobic membrane prepared by 3D printing with significantly improved tensile strength.
