Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface treatment technology, specifically to a method for preparing an ultra-white oxide coating on the surface of a 3D printed AlSi10Mg alloy part. Background Technology
[0002] AlSi10Mg powder is an aluminum alloy powder material used in the manufacture of metal additives. AlSi10Mg powder exhibits excellent performance under selective laser melting (SLM) processes: particle size 15-53 μm, sphericity ≥97%, oxygen content as low as 300 ppm, flowability ≤70 s / 50 g, and loose density ≥1.45 g / cm³. 3 This ensures uniform powder distribution and minimal defects. By optimizing SLM process parameters, including a layer thickness of 30μm, laser power of 350-370W, and a speed of 1200-1300mm / s, formed parts with a density of 99.9% can be obtained. These parts exhibit outstanding mechanical properties: tensile strength ≥440MPa, yield strength ≥245MPa, elongation 6-8%, upper surface roughness Ra ≤2μm, side surface roughness ≤5μm, and dimensional error ±0.1mm. After appropriate heat treatment, while the strength decreases slightly, the elongation and impact toughness are significantly improved. Therefore, the high fluidity, low porosity, and fine-grained structure of AlSi10Mg powder endow it with the ability to rapidly and precisely form complex thin-walled aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics components.
[0003] In aerospace applications, the absorptivity (α) and reflectivity (ρ) of materials are key optical parameters that determine their thermal control performance. Especially in extreme space environments, they directly affect spacecraft surface temperature control, energy efficiency, and equipment lifespan. Micro-arc oxidation, due to its technological characteristics, reacts in solution and can prepare a uniform thermal control and protective coating on the surface of irregular components. This coating possesses excellent properties such as high emissivity, strong adhesion, corrosion resistance, and simple processing, and has become the mainstream technology for integrated heat dissipation and protection of lightweight alloys in aerospace.
[0004] However, the micro-arc oxide film on the surface of aluminum alloys is usually gray, especially AlSi10Mg alloys with high silicon content. The oxide film prepared by conventional oxidation process is dark gray. The darkening of the oxide film color will lead to a decrease in the emissivity and an increase in the absorptivity of the coating, which is not conducive to the promotion and application of AlSi10Mg in the aerospace field.
[0005] Therefore, improvements are needed to the existing AlSi10Mg. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a method for preparing an ultra-white oxide coating on the surface of 3D-printed AlSi10Mg alloy parts with high reflectivity and low absorptivity, in light of the above-mentioned technical status.

After that, the workpiece is cooled in an atmosphere at 200-250℃ and held at 1-3 minutes after cooling.
[0018] S3, Second rinse.

[0020] Preferably, the first rinsing is: rinsing the workpiece again in a water glass solution at a temperature of 80-95℃ for 60-90 seconds and then drying it, wherein the sodium silicate content of the water glass solution is 1-3g / L;
[0021] The second rinsing step involves rinsing the heat-treated workpiece in deionized water at 70-85℃ for 180-300 seconds, followed by air drying. The first rinsing step, with its high temperature, serves to seal pores; the second rinsing step removes surface impurities.
[0022] Preferably, the depth of the first machining step is 0.5-1 mm; the depth of the second machining step is 0.5-0.6 mm. The depth of the first machining step is positively correlated with the thickness of the cold spray coating, ensuring that the dimensions of the workpiece produced by this invention are the same as the required workpiece dimensions.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0031] 1. Cold spraying produces an aluminum-magnesium alloy coating that effectively isolates the substrate from contact with the micro-arc oxidation electrolyte, thereby blocking silicon elements in the workpiece substrate from participating in the oxidation reaction. This process prepares a high-purity aluminum oxide and magnesium oxide composite ceramic coating, improves the whiteness of the oxide film, and results in a coating with high reflectivity and low absorptivity, thereby enhancing the thermal control and protection performance of the alloy parts.
[0032] 2. Two machining operations and two sandblasting operations were performed to achieve precise control over the surface roughness of the 3D printed parts, improve the bonding state between the cold spray and micro-arc oxidation coatings and the substrate, and enhance the coating adhesion.
[0033] 3. Brown fused alumina is used for secondary sandblasting. As an alumina grit, brown fused alumina can reduce the contamination of silicon elements on the workpiece surface, reduce the influence of silicon elements on the coating color, improve reflectivity and reduce absorption rate.
[0034] 4. Cold spraying and secondary sandblasting are both thickly coated with isopropanol, which effectively inhibits the oxidation of magnesium powder, reduces the impact of loose magnesium oxide on the density of the coating, prevents the new substrate surface after sandblasting from contacting air and oxidizing, and reduces the adhesion of the oxide film in the later stage. In addition, the residual isopropanol on the surface is a discharge inhibitor of micro-arc oxidation, which can be utilized and consumed in the next process, and reduces the probability of disordered discharge on the workpiece surface during the high voltage and high current stage in the early stage of oxidation, thus improving the quality of the oxide film.
