Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

[0018] In the description of this application, the term "for example" is used to mean "used as an example, illustration, or description." Any embodiment described as "for example" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes will not be described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the invention with unnecessary detail. Therefore, the invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0019] like Figure 1 This embodiment provides a zinc-based powder additive manufacturing method, comprising the following steps: Zinc-based alloy powder was obtained and surface activated by plasma jet, wherein the powder surface temperature was monitored in real time and controlled within the range of 300-450℃ during the plasma treatment. Based on the activated powder having an oxygen content ≤0.3wt% and a surface roughness Ra of 0.5-1.2... Dynamically adjust the cold spraying process parameters; A cold spray-laser composite deposition process is performed to form a dense preform layer by layer on the substrate, with online defect monitoring performed immediately after each layer is deposited. The metallurgical bonding state between the deposited layers is determined, and selective laser remelting is triggered by acoustic emission signal characteristics to eliminate interface defects.

[0020] Furthermore, the plasma activation treatment includes: employing a coaxial dual-channel Ar- Mixed gas, inner channel Ar, outer channel The plasma density is adjusted in real time using a Langmuir probe, with a concentration of 5%–8% and an RF power of 8–12 kW. The processing time is 50-100ms. During this time, the powder fluidization state is monitored by a high-speed camera to ensure that more than 90% of the powder passes through the plasma core region, generating nano-sized ZnO / Zn The composite oxide layer has a columnar crystal structure with a grain size of 20-50 nm.

[0021] Furthermore, the dynamic adjustment of the cold spraying process parameters includes: establishing an oxygen content-process parameter mapping model: when the oxygen content is 0.1wt%, the gas pressure is 3-4MPa and the temperature is 400-500℃; when the oxygen content is 0.2-0.3wt%, the pressure is 4-5MPa and the temperature is 500-600℃; the ion velocity is calibrated in real time using a photon Doppler velocimeter with an error of ±5m / s; and the carrier gas... The ratio is linearly adjusted according to the oxygen content; for every 0.1% increase in oxygen content, Increase by 1%, while adding 0.1-0.3 vol% of C. To suppress secondary oxidation.

[0022] It should be noted that the surface activation of zinc-based alloy powder (Zn-5Al-3Mg) is performed using plasma jets. The core principle is as follows: Plasma activation mechanism: using Ar- Mixed gas ( High-temperature plasma (electron temperature 1-5 eV) is generated at 8-12 kW power (5%–8%), causing nano-sized ZnO / ZnO to form on the powder surface. A composite oxide layer (10-30 nm thick) reduces the critical deposition rate of particles during cold spraying (from the conventional 600 m / s to 500 m / s), while... The reducing effect controls the oxygen content of the powder to 0.3 wt%; Dynamic adjustment of cold spraying parameters: based on the oxygen content and surface morphology of the activated powder (Ra 0.5-1.2). A mapping relationship was established between gas pressure (3-5 MPa), temperature (400-600℃), and particle velocity (600-800 m / s). When the oxygen content increased by 0.1%, the carrier gas... The proportion is increased by 1% to compensate for the loss of deposition efficiency caused by oxidation.

[0023] Furthermore, the composite deposition process includes: during cold spray deposition, the spray gun is at a 60° angle to the substrate, the scanning speed is 200–400 mm / s, and the single-layer thickness is 100–150 mm. Laser remelting uses a coaxial annular spot with an inner diameter of 1 mm and an outer diameter of 3 mm. The pulse frequency is 10-50 kHz, the energy density is 5-8 J / cm², the spot overlap rate is 40%-60%, and the time interval between deposition and remelting is ≤50 ms. The interlayer temperature is maintained at 150-250℃ by using an infrared thermal imager.

[0024] Furthermore, the triggering conditions for laser remelting are as follows: ultrasonic testing shows an interface porosity > 2%, a center frequency of 20 MHz, a focusing depth of 0.1 mm, a microhardness gradient > 10%, nanoindentation testing, a load of 10 mN, and the remelting parameters are adaptively adjusted according to the defect type: a high frequency of 50 kHz and a low energy of 5 J / cm² are used for porosity defects, and a low frequency of 10 kHz and a high energy of 8 J / cm² are used for hardness gradient defects.

[0025] It should be noted that the core principles of cold spray-laser composite deposition include: Cold spray deposition: Powder is accelerated to 600-800 m / s by a supersonic airflow (Mach 2.5-3.0), and after impacting the substrate, it undergoes plastic deformation to form a dense layer (single layer thickness 100-150 mm). Its bonding strength depends on the conversion of particle kinetic energy into thermal energy (local temperature rise of 200-300℃) and the dynamic recrystallization of Zn / Al / Mg (grain boundary size 0.5-2). ); Laser remelting triggering conditions: Interface porosity is detected using 20MHz ultrasonic testing (resolution 0.1mm). When porosity is >2%, pulsed laser (1064nm, 5-8J / cm²) is triggered for selective remelting. The laser energy causes selective remelting in the interface micro-regions (depth 50-100mm). When the temperature is raised above the melting point of Zn (419.5℃), the pores are filled through the Marangoni effect (filling rate >95%), while eliminating the hardness gradient (gradient difference is reduced from >10% to <3%).

[0026] Furthermore, the specific process of in-situ generation of the reinforcing phase is as follows: The coated powder undergoes a three-step reaction in the laser-acting region: d) break down: (800-1000℃); e) Zn oxidation: 2Zn+ (Exothermic reaction); f) Zn eutectic formation: Bi + Zn (Eutectic point 254℃); The generated nano The particles are uniformly distributed at the Zn grain boundaries, while the ZnO particles (20-50 nm) are dispersed within the grains.

[0027] Furthermore, the aforementioned The ALD coating process includes: the precursor uses Bi and The deposition temperature is 150-200℃, the number of cycles is 50-100, and the film thickness gradient is controlled: 5-10nm on the outer edge of the powder and 2-5nm near the core to form a core-shell structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the specific construction method of the gradient organization structure: Bottom layer: Laser energy density 5-8 J / cm², scanning speed 800 mm / s, forming equiaxed crystals (50-100). ); Middle layer: Energy density 8-12 J / cm², velocity 500 mm / s, forming columnar crystals (20-50). ); Top layer: Energy density 12-15 J / cm², velocity 300 mm / s, obtaining nanocrystals (10⁻²⁰ J / cm²). ); A transition zone is set between each layer (energy density gradually changes, gradient change rate ≤ 2J / cm² / mm).

[0029] It is important to explain the in-situ enhancement and gradient structure construction: In-situ reaction: Add 0.5-2wt% (ALD coating, 5-10nm thick) undergoes an exothermic reaction under laser irradiation. This process generates nano-sized Bi particles (50-100 nm) and ZnO particles (20-50 nm). The particles are distributed at the grain boundaries, which inhibit grain boundary slip through the pinning effect (creep rate reduced by 50%), and ZnO particles strengthen the grains (hardness increased by 20-30 HV). Gradient structure formation mechanism: From the substrate to the top layer, the laser energy density gradually increases from 5 J / cm² to 15 J / cm², resulting in differences in thermal accumulation effects: the bottom layer forms equiaxed crystals at low temperatures (50-100 J / cm²). High temperature at the top layer promotes nanocrystal growth (10-20). The transition zone is controlled by a gradient change rate of ≤2J / cm² / mm to avoid thermal stress concentration (residual stress <50MPa, measured by XRD).

[0030] Furthermore, the composition optimization of the zinc-based powder includes: Zn-5Al-3Mg-0.5 In Al, Al-Mg It exists in the form of intermetallic compounds, with an average size of 1-3. Mg is dissolved in the Zn matrix with a solid solubility of 4.5-5.5 wt%, the powder sphericity is ≥95%, and the hollow powder rate is <0.1% (detected by X-ray tomography).

[0031] The present invention also provides a zinc-based powder additive manufacturing system, comprising: Plasma activation: includes an annular electrode nozzle unit and a powder delivery unit. The annular electrode nozzle unit is equipped with an emission spectrometer to monitor the plasma composition in real time. The carrier gas flow rate of the powder delivery unit is 10-20 L / min, and the powder mass flow rate is 50-200 g / min. Cold spray-laser composite nozzle: includes a cold spray nozzle unit and a laser unit. The throat diameter of the cold spray nozzle unit is 2mm and the expansion ratio is 3:1. The laser unit includes a fiber laser and an integrated galvanometer scanning unit. Online testing: including ultrasonic testing instruments and component analyzers.

[0032] It should be noted that the powder composition is: Zn-5Al-3Mg-0.5 In Al, Al-Mg It exists in the form of intermetallic compounds, which improves high-temperature stability (80% strength retention at 300℃). The solid solubility of Mg is 4.5-5.5wt%, which improves the matrix strength through solid solution strength (yield strength is increased by 40MPa).

[0033] It should be noted that the system integration principle is as follows: plasma activation is monitored in real time via OES. (750nm) and (656nm) spectral line intensity, feedback adjustment power (accuracy ±0.5kW), cold spray-laser composite nozzle adopts coaxial design, time synchronization accuracy ±1ms, online ultrasonic detection through acoustic impedance matching layer (ZnTe, thickness) Increase the signal-to-noise ratio by >20dB.

[0034] Example 2 This embodiment provides a zinc-based powder additive manufacturing method, including the following steps: Plasma activation process: using Ar-6% Mixed gas, 10kW power processing for 80ms: these parameters can generate appropriate amounts of nano-sized ZnO / Zn on the surface of zinc-based alloy powder.
