Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of additive manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a photocurable stainless steel metal paste and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Photopolymerization technology, with its significant advantages such as high forming precision, excellent surface finish, and fast forming speed, has been widely used in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, medical devices, and electronic components. Stainless steel, with its excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength, continues to be in high demand for structural and functional components. Combining stainless steel with photopolymerization technology enables rapid and high-precision forming of complex stainless steel parts, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional casting and forging processes in manufacturing complex structures. This meets the production needs of high-end manufacturing for personalized and customized parts, possessing extremely high industrial value.

[0003] The photocurable stainless steel process consists of four core steps: slurry preparation, photocuring, debinding, and sintering. Among these, the photocurable stainless steel slurry is the technological foundation, directly affecting printability, green strength, and the mechanical properties and density of the final part. As both a "binder" for the stainless steel powder and a "carrier" for photocuring, this slurry must simultaneously meet three major requirements: dispersibility, stability, and curability. Therefore, it has become a key research direction in photocurable stainless steel technology.

[0004] However, the additive manufacturing photocurable silver paste and its preparation method disclosed in invention patent CN116230290A improve the stability and dispersibility of the paste; the photocurable 3D printing metal paste and its preparation method disclosed in patent CN119241745A also improve the stability and cured thickness of the metal paste. However, the photocurable stainless steel metal paste prepared using the above methods still suffers from the problem of trace metal ions precipitating from the stainless steel surface into the paste system under specific temperature and humidity conditions. These metal ions catalyze the resin polymerization reaction, leading to caking and other adverse phenomena in the paste, causing paste failure and preventing printing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a photocurable stainless steel metal paste and its preparation method. Under the synergistic effect of polymerization inhibitor and metal ion chelating agent, the monomer is effectively protected and stabilized and free metal ions are bound to form a stable, cyclic complex structure, eliminating the catalytic activity of metal ions, thereby solving the problem of clumping in stainless steel metal paste during long-term storage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a photocurable stainless steel metal paste, which, by mass ratio, comprises 75% to 95% stainless steel metal powder, 3% to 15% reactive diluent, 0.5% to 5.5% oligomer, 0.3% to 1.5% photoinitiator, 0.8% to 3% dispersant, 0.05% to 0.5% polymerization inhibitor, and 0.05% to 0.5% metal ion chelating agent.

[0007] In one embodiment, the reactive diluent is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol diacrylate, isobornyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, vinyl caprolactam, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, dipropylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, and neopentyl glycol diacrylate.

[0008] In one embodiment, the oligomer is selected from one or more of epoxy acrylate resin, polyurethane acrylate resin, polyester acrylate resin, and polyether acrylate resin.

[0009] In one embodiment, the photoinitiator is selected from one or more of bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide, isopropylthioxanthone, benzophenone, bis(2,6-difluoro-3-pyrrolidinyldipentadienyl) and hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone.

[0010] In one embodiment, the photoinitiator is selected from one or more of bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide, isopropylthioxanthone, benzophenone, bis(2,6-difluoro-3-pyrrolidinyldipentadienyl) and hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone.

[0011] In one embodiment, the dispersant is selected from one or more of Hypermer™ KD16, Hypermer™ KD20, Hypermer™ KD24, BYK2001, BYK9076, and BYK220; the polymerization inhibitor is selected from one or more of hydroquinone, p-hydroxyanisole, p-tert-butylcatechol, and ZJ-701; and the metal ion chelating agent is selected from acetylacetone and trifluoroacetylacetone.

[0012] A method for preparing a photocurable stainless steel metal paste includes the following steps: S1. Sieve the stainless steel metal powder in a vibrating screen powder machine to remove large-diameter particles and set it aside. S2. According to the mass percentage, add the reactive diluent and the polymerization inhibitor to a magnetic stirrer and mix evenly to obtain a premixed solution; S3. Transfer the premixed liquid to an ultrasonic cleaner, and add photoinitiator, metal ion chelating agent and dispersant to the premixed liquid in sequence. After complete dissolution, add oligomer and mix to obtain a mixed slurry. S4. Add the sieved stainless steel metal powder to the mixed slurry, stir it evenly by hand, and then place it in a homogenizer for dispersion. After even dispersion, a stainless steel metal slurry is obtained.

[0013] In one embodiment, in step S1, the mesh size of the vibrating sieve is 400 to 500 mesh.

[0014] In one embodiment, in step S2, the temperature of the working environment is 20℃~27℃ and the humidity is 25%~45%; the operating temperature of the magnetic stirrer is 40℃~70℃ and the rotation speed is 100 r / min~550 r / min.

[0015] In one embodiment, in step S4, the dispersion process of the homogenizer is divided into four steps; The program consists of four steps: the first step is a speed of 800 r / min to 1500 r / min for 10 to 30 seconds; the second step is a speed of 1500 r / min to 2500 r / min for 30 to 60 seconds; the third step is a speed of 3000 r / min to 4000 r / min for 30 to 40 seconds; and the fourth step is a speed of 1000 r / min to 2500 r / min for 10 to 30 seconds.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: The prepared photocurable stainless steel slurry exhibits excellent long-term storage stability. The polymerization inhibitor reacts with free radicals generated in the system, effectively preventing monomer polymerization and providing chemical stability. The metal ion chelating agent, acetylacetone, coordinates free metal ions to form a stable cyclic complex structure, eliminating their catalytic activity. Through the synergistic effect of the polymerization inhibitor and the metal ion chelating agent, the stainless steel slurry achieves long-term stable storage, with key performance indicators such as curing depth and scraping fineness remaining stable.

[0017] Meanwhile, by using a homogenizer to perform four-stage dispersion treatment on the metal slurry, the stainless steel powder obtained a high Zeta potential, which makes it less likely for the stainless steel powder to agglomerate in the slurry. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart of the method for preparing photocurable stainless steel metal paste provided in this application; Figure 2 The state of the photocurable stainless steel metal paste provided in this application after three months of storage. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the stainless steel metal paste for photocuring and its preparation method provided in this application include, by mass ratio, 75% to 95% stainless steel metal powder, 3% to 15% reactive diluent, 0.5% to 5.5% oligomer, 0.3% to 1.5% photoinitiator, 0.8% to 3% dispersant, 0.05% to 0.5% polymerization inhibitor, and 0.05% to 0.5% metal ion chelating agent.

[0022] The reactive diluent is selected from one or more of polyethylene glycol diacrylate, isobornyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, vinyl caprolactam, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, dipropylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, and neopentyl glycol diacrylate; the oligomer is selected from one or more of epoxy acrylate resin, polyurethane acrylate resin, polyester acrylate resin, and polyether acrylate resin; the photoinitiator is selected from one or more of bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide, isopropylthioxanthanone, benzophenone, bis(2,6-difluoro-3-pyrrolidinyl)dicentectan, and hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone; the dispersant is selected from one or more of Hypermer™ KD16 and Hypermer™ One or more of KD20, Hypermer™ KD24, BYK2001, BYK9076, and BYK220 are selected; the polymerization inhibitor is selected from one or more of hydroquinone, p-hydroxyanisole, p-tert-butylcatechol, and ZJ-701; the metal ion chelating agent is selected from acetylacetone and trifluoroacetylacetone.

[0023] It should be noted that the surface of stainless steel metal powder is not completely inert. It may react with trace amounts of moisture or acidic components in the resin system, causing trace metal ions to be released from the surface of the metal powder into the resin system. Under certain temperature and humidity conditions, these metal ions will catalyze the polymerization or coordination reaction of acrylate double bonds in the resin system, thereby causing the slurry to clump.

[0024] The polymerization inhibitor can capture free radicals generated in the system and react with them to inhibit the polymerization of acrylate double bonds, thus effectively preventing polymerization of the slurry during storage and providing chemical stability to the system. Meanwhile, the metal ion chelating agent acetylacetone binds to free metal ions through coordination bonds to form stable cyclic complexes, further eliminating the catalytic activity of the metal ions. The synergistic effect of these two agents inhibits the free radical chain reaction initiated by metal ions, ensuring the stability of the stainless steel slurry during long-term storage. This avoids clumping while maintaining stability in curing depth and scraping fineness, ensuring consistent slurry performance.

[0025] A method for preparing a photocurable stainless steel metal paste includes the following steps: S1. The stainless steel metal powder is screened in a vibrating screen powder machine to remove large-diameter particles and then set aside for later use. The screen mesh of the vibrating screen powder machine is 400 mesh to 500 mesh.

[0026] S2. According to the mass percentage, add the reactive diluent and polymerization inhibitor to a magnetic stirrer and mix evenly to obtain a premixed solution. The operating environment temperature is 20℃~27℃, and the humidity is 25%~45%; the operating temperature of the magnetic stirrer is 40℃~70℃, and the rotation speed is 100 r / min~550 r / min.

[0027] S3. Transfer the premixed liquid to an ultrasonic cleaner, and add a photoinitiator, a metal ion chelating agent and a dispersant to the premixed liquid in sequence. After they are completely dissolved, add the oligomer. After mixing, a mixed slurry is obtained.

[0028] S4. Add the sieved stainless steel metal powder to the mixed slurry, stir it evenly by hand, and then place it in a homogenizer for dispersion. After even dispersion, a stainless steel metal slurry is obtained.

[0029] The homogenizer's dispersion program consists of four steps: the first step involves a rotation speed of 800 r / min to 1500 r / min for 10 to 30 seconds; the second step involves a rotation speed of 1500 r / min to 2500 r / min for 30 to 60 seconds; the third step involves a rotation speed of 3000 r / min to 4000 r / min for 30 to 40 seconds; and the fourth step involves a rotation speed of 1000 r / min to 2500 r / min for 10 to 30 seconds.
