Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of copper-based composite material additive manufacturing, and relates to a method for preparing Cr2Nb / Cu composite material through laser selective melting in-situ reaction. BACKGROUND

[0002] The Cr2Nb / Cu composite material has become the first choice of a new generation of space engine combustion chamber liners due to high strength, high electrical conductivity and good thermal stability at high temperatures. As a new technology in recent years, selective laser melting (SLM) gradually replaces traditional manufacturing and becomes the preferred technology for core components of high-end equipment due to its complex structure integration forming capability and more than 95% material utilization. The Cr2Nb / Cu composite material improves the comprehensive performance of the material by relying on the dispersion distribution and small size of the Cr2Nb reinforcing phase; the SLM technology generates a small molten pool and a heat-affected zone by laser beam scanning, and at the same time provides a very high cooling rate (10 4 ~ 10 6 K / s) for the material, so that the size of the reinforcing phase Cr2Nb phase is small, which can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, it is the future development trend to integrate the SLM and the Cr2Nb / Cu composite material to form a rocket engine combustion chamber liner.

[0003] However, SLM needs a powder with high sphericity and good fluidity as a raw material. At present, the Cr2Nb / Cu composite material powder is prepared by the gas atomization method, but due to the large difference in melting points of Cu, Cr and Nb, the high-melting-point Nb component is difficult to melt completely in the smelting process, so a large superheat is needed to melt the raw materials and make the melt have good fluidity. However, too high superheat of the melt will cause serious burning loss of the material, and the solidification time of the melt will also increase, resulting in high cost of the preparation of the Cu-Cr-Nb ternary powder; in addition, the molten droplets are easy to adhere to each other during flight, increasing the probability of satellite powder and other irregular powder, which is not conducive to powder forming. Therefore, it is difficult to mass-produce the composite material powder, and the yield is low. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for preparing Cr2Nb / Cu composite material through laser selective melting in-situ reaction, which solves the problems of high preparation cost and low yield of Cu-Cr-Nb ternary powder in the preparation process of Cr2Nb / Cu composite material.

[0005] The technical scheme adopted by the present application is a method for preparing Cr2Nb / Cu composite material through laser selective melting in-situ reaction, which specifically includes the following steps: Step 1, weighing Cu-Cr alloy powder, Nb powder and Cu powder according to the proportion; Step 2, the Cu-Cr binary powder is mixed with the Nb powder, and then the Cu powder is added for mixing, and the obtained mixed powder is subjected to drying treatment; Step 3, a test piece model read by a 3D printing device is constructed, and the constructed test piece model is imported into the 3D printing device; Step 4, the dried powder is loaded into the 3D printing device for printing, and a deposited Cr2Nb / Cu composite material is obtained; Step 5, the Cr2Nb / Cu composite material is subjected to heat treatment, and a Cr2Nb / Cu composite material is obtained.

[0006] The application also has the characteristics that: In step 1, 10-40wt.% Cu-Cr powder, 1.5-6wt.% Nb powder, 10-15wt.% Cu powder with a particle size of 1-2μm, and 39-73.5wt.% Cu powder with a particle size of 15-45μm are weighed according to the weight percentage.

[0007] In step 1, the density of the Cr element in the Cu-Cr is the same as that of Nb, the Cu-Cr powder with a particle size of 20-53μm is screened, the Nb powder with a particle size of 20-53μm is taken, the Cu powder with a particle size of 1-2μm is taken, and the Cu powder with a particle size of 15-45μm is taken.

[0008] The specific process of step 2 is as follows: First, the Cu-Cr binary powder is mixed with the Nb powder, and the Cu powder with a particle size of 15-45μm is divided into several parts for mixing, each time for 2-4h, and finally the Cu powder with a particle size of 1-2μm is added for mixing for 6-8h, and the mixed powder is heated in a vacuum box at a heating temperature of 80-150℃.

[0009] The specific process of step 3 is as follows: A cuboid three-dimensional model is drawn and imported into a slicing software for two-dimensional slicing and layering, the single-layer thickness is 25-30μm, the printing order is set, a file with a format of.STL is generated, a test piece model read by a 3D printing device is obtained, and the constructed test piece model is imported into the 3D printing device.

[0010] The specific process of step 4 is as follows: Step 4.1, the dried powder is loaded into the 3D printing device for powder feeding, the cabin door is closed for gas washing, argon is introduced, and the oxygen in the forming cabin is excluded, after the gas washing is completed, the base plate is preheated, and the fan is turned on after the preheating temperature is reached; Step 4.2, before printing, a layer of powder is pre-laid on the substrate for scanning and melting, first melting by using a laser with a power of 430-450w, without continuing to lay powder, and then melting by using a laser with a power of 360-380w again; after repeated laser scanning, a layer of powder is laid again until the printing is completed, and finally a deposited Cr2Nb / Cu composite material is obtained.

[0011] In step 4.2, the printing process is as follows: the laser scanning speed is 600-700mm / s; the single-layer printing thickness is 25-30μm; the repeated printing process is as follows: the laser scanning speed is 1000-1500mm / s; and the scanning mode is a stripe mode.

[0012] The specific process of step 5 is as follows: a muffle furnace is used for heating, the sample is placed in the muffle furnace after the temperature reaches the preset temperature, and then the sample is aged for a certain time, and then the sample is cooled to room temperature by air cooling, the aging temperature is 450-600℃, and the aging time is 1-5h.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: 1) The Cu-Cr density is calculated theoretically, the Cu-17Crwt.% alloy powder is self-made, and the Cu-Cr alloy powder and the Nb powder are ensured to be 8.57g / cm 3 , and the density difference between the three powders is within 0.04%, so that the powders will not be layered due to the density difference during mixing. The Cu-Cr alloy powder is prepared by gas atomization, which is relatively simple, and the current process is relatively mature, so that the raw material process is simple and the cost is low.

[0014] 2) SLM first uses a high-energy-density laser to ensure that the Nb powder is melted, and the Nb element and the Cr element react in situ to generate Cr2Nb particles, but at this time the melt has a high superheat, and the generated Cr2Nb particles are relatively large. Since the melting point of Cr2Nb particles (1870℃) is lower than that of Nb powder (2468℃), a lower energy density is used for secondary scanning to melt the Cr2Nb particles generated once again. Due to the low superheat and fast solidification speed during melting, the Cr2Nb particles generated during the secondary solidification process are more dispersed and fine, which improves the microstructure of the composite material and improves the comprehensive performance of the material. At the same time, the secondary low-temperature remelting also reduces the size of the molten pool, ensuring that the formed sample has good surface quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
