[0002] With the rapid development of 3D printing technology, 3D printing applications of metal materials have gradually gained widespread attention, especially in the fields of aerospace, automotive, electronics, and machinery. Copper and copper alloys are widely used due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. However, copper and copper alloys often perform poorly in friction and wear environments, especially under high temperature or high pressure friction conditions, prone to problems such as rapid wear and severe surface damage. To improve the friction performance of copper and copper alloys, special treatment is usually required on the surface or during the forming process to enhance their wear resistance and anti-friction properties.
[0003] At present, certain research results have been achieved in improving the friction properties of copper alloys through alloying, surface coating or adding friction modifiers. However, most methods are difficult to achieve compatibility with 3D printing technology, and may affect other physical and chemical properties of copper alloys while improving friction performance.
[0004] Therefore, finding a new method that can be implemented in the 3D printing process and effectively improve the friction properties of copper and copper alloys is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the friction performance of 3D printed copper-based materials, by adding an appropriate amount of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) into the copper-based material, so that the printed copper-based material has excellent friction performance.

[0009] 2) The mixed powder obtained in step 1) is subjected to 3D printing and post-processing to obtain a 3D printed copper-based material.
[0010] A second aspect of the present invention provides a 3D printing copper-based material, which is prepared using the method described in the present invention.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 2. Compatibility with 3D printing technology: The addition of molybdenum disulfide does not affect the 3D printing process of copper and copper alloy powders, demonstrating excellent machinability and compatibility.

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for improving the friction performance of a 3D printed copper-based material provided by the present invention will be described in detail.
[0017] The "ranges" disclosed herein are defined in terms of lower and upper limits, where a given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, and the selected lower and upper limits define the boundaries of the particular range. Ranges defined in this manner can be inclusive or exclusive of the end values and can be combined arbitrarily, i.e., any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60 to 120 and 80 to 110 are listed for a particular parameter, it is understood that ranges of 60 to 110 and 80 to 120 are also contemplated. Furthermore, if minimum range values of 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values of 3, 4, and 5 are listed, the following ranges are all contemplated: 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, and 2 to 5. In this application, unless otherwise indicated, the numerical range "a to b" is a shorthand representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are both real numbers. For example, a numerical range of "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0-5" are listed herein, and "0-5" is simply an abbreviation for these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is expressed as an integer ≥ 2, this is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, an integer of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.
[0018] After extensive research, the inventors of the present invention found that traditional copper alloys have insufficient performance in friction and wear scenarios, and it is difficult to balance conductivity and self-lubrication. After adding molybdenum disulfide, the friction coefficient of the composite material can be reduced while maintaining high conductivity, solving the need for dynamic components such as bearings and brushes to synergistically optimize the dual functions of "conductivity-lubrication". In addition, the layered structure of molybdenum disulfide forms a dispersion strengthening effect in the copper matrix, which can increase the hardness of the material, achieve "strength-conductivity" synergistic optimization, and meet the needs of precision components. On this basis, this application was completed.
[0019] [Methods to improve the friction performance of 3D printed copper-based materials]
[0020] The present invention provides a method for improving the friction performance of a 3D printed copper-based material. The preparation method comprises:
[0021] 1) mixing a copper-based material with molybdenum disulfide powder to obtain a mixed powder; wherein the molybdenum disulfide powder accounts for 0.5% to 5% of the total mass of the copper-based material and the molybdenum disulfide powder, and the particle size of the molybdenum disulfide powder is in the micrometer to nanometer range;
[0022] 2) The mixed powder obtained in step 1) is subjected to 3D printing and post-processing to obtain a 3D printed copper-based material.
[0023] In the method for improving the friction performance of 3D printing copper-based materials provided by the present invention, step 1) is to mix the copper-based material with molybdenum disulfide powder to obtain a mixed powder. Specifically,
[0024] In step 1) of the present invention, the copper-based material is selected from one or more of pure copper, copper-aluminum alloy, copper-nickel alloy, and the like. The copper-based material is in the form of a powder. Optionally, the particle size of the copper-based material can be, for example, 15 to 45 μm, more preferably 15 to 30 μm, 30 to 45 μm, or the like.
[0025] In step 1) of the present invention, the mixing is selected from one of mechanical mixing, ball milling or ultrasonic treatment to ensure the uniformity of dispersion of molybdenum disulfide in the copper powder or copper alloy powder.
[0026] In some embodiments, the mechanical mixing speed is 200-300 rpm, optionally, the speed can be, for example, 200-250 rpm or 250-300 rpm, etc. The mixing time is 1-3 h, optionally, the mixing time can be, for example, 1-2 h or 2-3 h, etc.
[0027] In some embodiments, the ball milling ratio is 1-3:1-1, optionally, the ball milling ratio is 1-2:1-1 or 2-3:1-1. The ball milling time is 1-3 hours, optionally, the ball milling time can be, for example, 1-2 hours or 2-3 hours.
[0028] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic treatment frequency is 40 kHz to 60 kHz. Alternatively, the ultrasonic treatment frequency can be, for example, 40 kHz to 50 kHz or 50 kHz to 60 kHz. The treatment time is 0.5 to 2 hours. Alternatively, the treatment time can be, for example, 0.5 to 1 hour or 1 to 2 hours.
[0029] In step 1) of the present invention, the molybdenum disulfide powder accounts for 0.5% to 5% of the total mass of the copper-based material and the molybdenum disulfide powder. Alternatively, for example, the molybdenum disulfide powder accounts for 0.5% to 1%, 1% to 3%, or 3% to 5% of the total mass of the copper-based material and the molybdenum disulfide powder. Preferably, the molybdenum disulfide powder accounts for 1% to 3% of the total mass of the copper-based material and the molybdenum disulfide powder. Within this range, the advantages are balanced energy absorption and heat conduction, and optimal forming density. A concentration greater than 5% has the disadvantage of easily forming agglomerates on the powder surface, resulting in reduced powder flowability. A concentration less than 0.5% has the disadvantage of good powder flowability, but may lead to unfused defects due to insufficient light absorption.
[0030] In step 1) of the present invention, the particle size of the molybdenum disulfide powder is 0.5-5 μm. Alternatively, the particle size of the molybdenum disulfide powder can be, for example, 0.5-3 μm, 3-5 μm, 0.5-2 μm, 2-4 μm, or 4-5 μm. Within this range, the advantages are good powder dispersibility and relatively stable interfacial bonding. Outside this range, the disadvantages are that too small particle size easily agglomerates, forming stress concentration points, and is prone to work hardening during ball milling.
[0031] In the method for improving the friction performance of 3D printed copper-based materials provided by the present invention, step 2) is to 3D print the mixed powder obtained in step 1), and then perform post-processing to obtain the 3D printed copper-based material. Specifically:
[0032] In step 2) of the present invention, 3D printing adopts one or more of selective laser melting and electron beam melting; 3D printing forming is to subject the mixed powder to laser scanning or electron beam heating to melt it and form it layer by layer.
[0033] Optionally, during selective laser melting, the laser power is 330-370 W. Optionally, the laser power can be, for example, 330-350 W or 350-370 W. The scanning speed is 400-600 mm / s. Optionally, the scanning speed can be, for example, 400-500 mm / s or 500-600 mm / s. The scanning pitch is 0.08-0.12 mm. Optionally, the scanning pitch can be, for example, 0.08-0.10 mm or 0.10-0.12 mm. The layer thickness is 20-30 μm. Optionally, the layer thickness can be, for example, 20-25 μm or 25-30 μm. The protective atmosphere is argon. Within the aforementioned selective laser melting range, the advantages are a stable molten pool, high density, and excellent performance. Disadvantages outside the range are defects such as weak interlayer bonding or excessive energy input leading to spatter.
[0034] Optionally, in electron beam melting, the electron beam power is 1.5 to 3 kW. Optionally, the electron beam power can be, for example, 1.5 to 2 kW or 2 to 3 kW. The electron flow current is 10 to 15 mA. Optionally, the electron flow current can be, for example, 10 to 12 mA or 12 to 15 mA. The layer thickness is 50 to 80 μm. Optionally, the layer thickness can be, for example, 50 to 60 μm, 60 to 70 μm or 70 to 80 μm. The scanning spacing is 60 to 100 μm. Optionally, the scanning spacing is 60 to 80 μm or 80 to 100 μm. Within the aforementioned range of electron beam melting conditions, the advantage is that it can balance melt penetration and heat input, ensuring high density and excellent performance. The disadvantage outside the range is excessive unfused defects or the generation of adverse effects such as spattering and spheroidization.
[0035] In step 2) of the present invention, post-treatment includes heat treatment and / or mechanical processing to further improve the density and surface quality of the material and improve its friction performance. In some embodiments, the temperature of the heat treatment is 400-600°C. Alternatively, the temperature of the heat treatment can be, for example, 400-500°C or 500-600°C. The time of the heat treatment is 1-2 hours. Alternatively, the time of the heat treatment can be, for example, 1-1.5 hours or 1.5-2 hours. The mechanical processing is polishing or fine grinding of the formed part, and the surface roughness is Ra0.8-Ra0.05. Alternatively, the surface roughness can be, for example, Ra0.8-Ra0.4, Ra0.4-Ra0.05, Ra0.8-Ra0.6, Ra0.6-Ra0.4, Ra0.4-Ra0.2, Ra0.2-Ra0.05, etc. Within the aforementioned range, the advantage is that the strength can be improved and various properties can be balanced. The disadvantage outside the range is that the strengthening effect is lost and the performance drops sharply.
