Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a heat-resistant, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy powder and its preparation method, additive parts, and additive manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for lightweight, high-strength materials in modern industry, aluminum alloys, with their high specific strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good machinability, have become important materials in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and construction industries. Traditional aluminum alloys can be divided into wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys, mainly used for structural components requiring high strength and good ductility. In recent years, the development of additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology, especially laser powder bed melting (LPBF) technology, has brought new breakthroughs to the manufacturing of aluminum alloys. LPBF technology can achieve the precise manufacturing of complex structural components by melting metal powder layer by layer, and can produce complex geometric structures that are difficult to achieve with traditional processes, such as embedded cooling channels and lightweight honeycomb structures. It improves material utilization and reduces material waste in the production process; by optimizing laser process parameters, it can achieve microstructure refinement, such as grain refinement and the transformation of columnar crystals to equiaxed crystals.

[0003] However, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured aluminum alloys at high temperatures remain a challenge. Traditional LPBF-formed aluminum alloys typically exhibit good strength at room temperature, but due to the instability of the alloy microstructure, their high-temperature strength decays rapidly, making it difficult to meet the requirements of aerospace and high-temperature service environments. Furthermore, the synergistic improvement of room-temperature and high-temperature strength has always been a challenge; existing alloy systems often sacrifice some room-temperature strength while improving high-temperature performance. To overcome this limitation, we developed a novel Al-Cr-Mg-Sc alloy. This alloy system achieves superior overall performance by precisely controlling the proportions of Cr, Mg, and Sc elements and introducing appropriate amounts of X-strengthening elements to optimize the microstructure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat-resistant, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy powder and its preparation method, additive parts, and additive manufacturing method. Spherical powder is prepared by a melting-gas atomization process. Combined with optimized laser powder bed melting (LPBF) parameters, the sample after heat treatment is free of cracks, has a density >99.9%, a yield strength >560MPa, and a tensile strength >610MPa. It also has excellent high-temperature stability (strength retention rate >78% at 200℃ and strength retention rate >54% at 250℃).

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a heat-resistant, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy powder, comprising, by mass percentage: Mg 2.5~5%, Cr 0.5~5.0%, Mn 0.1~1.5%, Sc 0.1~1.5%, Zr 0.1~1.0%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, the total impurity content not exceeding 0.3%.

[0006] Preferably, it contains, by mass percentage: Mg 4.5%, Cr 3.0%, Mn 0.5%, Sc 0.8%, Zr 0.3%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, and the total impurity content not exceeding 0.3%.

[0009] Preferably, it contains, by mass percentage: Mg 3.0%, Cr 3.0%, Mn 0.5%, Sc 0.8%, Zr 0.3%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, and the total impurity content not exceeding 0.3%.

[0010] Preferably, it contains, by mass percentage: Mg 3.0%, Cr 3%, Mn 1.5%, Sc 0.8%, Zr 0.3%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, and the total impurity content not exceeding 0.3%.

[0011] A method for preparing heat-resistant, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy powder includes the following steps: Alloy melting: Pure aluminum, pure magnesium, pure zirconium, pure manganese, Al-Cr master alloy, and Al-Sc master alloy are placed in a vacuum induction melting furnace, vacuumed, filled with protective gas, heated and melted, and then cast into master alloy ingots after holding at the temperature. Gas atomization powder preparation: The master alloy ingot is remelted under argon protection and spherical powder is prepared by gas atomization system, which is the heat-resistant, high-strength and corrosion-resistant alloy powder.

[0012] Preferably, after airflow classification, the particle size distribution of the atomized powder satisfies D10≥12μm, D90≤50μm, and sphericity>0.85.

[0013] Preferably, the particle size of the spherical powder is 0-150 μm. When the particle size of the spherical powder is 15-53 μm, it is used for LPBF laser powder bed fusion molding; when the particle size of the spherical powder is 0-20 μm, it is used for microprinting or metal injection molding; when the particle size of the spherical powder is 45-150 μm, it is used for directional energy deposition printing.

[0014] Preferably, the alloy melting temperature is 950-1050℃, the holding time is 40-60min, the vacuum degree is 100Pa, and the remelting temperature is 900-1000℃.

[0015] An additive manufacturing method for aluminum alloy powder includes the following steps: The alloy powder is vacuum dried at 120-150℃ for 6-12 hours, and then used for additive manufacturing. Preferably, the additive manufacturing processes used for the alloy powder include high-energy beam additive manufacturing such as laser bed fusion (LPBF), electron beam bed fusion (EB-PBF), and directed energy deposition (DED), as well as 3D printing binder jetting (BJ) and selective laser sintering (SLS). Metal Injection Molding ( MIM Powder metallurgy and sintering processes, etc.

[0016] As a typical additive manufacturing method, LPBF (Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion) involves uniformly spreading dried alloy powder onto a forming platform to form a thin layer of 10–200 μm. Excess powder is collected in a powder collection tank. A laser beam is focused on the powder surface along a CAD slicing path, selectively melting the powder to form a molten pool and rapidly solidifying it into the cross-section of the part. The forming platform then descends by one layer thickness, and the powder spreading and scanning process is repeated until the part is completed. Unmelted powder can be recycled and reused. The process parameters for LPBF include: laser power 300-450W, scanning speed 800-1400 mm / s, scanning spacing 0.08-0.12 mm, layer thickness 0.03-0.05 mm, and a nitrogen protective atmosphere.

[0017] Preferably, the additively manufactured parts are subjected to heat treatment, which includes heating to 275~325℃ and holding for 1~12 hours; after the holding time, they are air-cooled.

[0019] Therefore, the present invention employs the above-mentioned heat-resistant, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy powder and its preparation method, additive parts, and additive manufacturing method, and the technical effects are as follows: (1) This invention utilizes the high cooling rate and solute retention characteristics of 3D printing technology to achieve multi-dimensional performance optimization through a Cr-Mg-Sc synergistic strengthening mechanism. Cr element dominates high-temperature strengthening: By introducing 0.5~3.0wt% Cr, nanoscale Al7Cr intermetallic compounds are formed during rapid solidification. This phase has excellent thermal stability (decomposition temperature > 400℃) and significantly inhibits material softening at high temperatures (250~350℃) by pinning grain boundaries and dislocations. Mg element ensures room temperature strength: By controlling the Mg content to 2.5~5wt%, at ultra-high cooling rates (10 wt%) of LPBF, the Mg element effectively strengthens the material at room temperature. 6 At K / s, a supersaturated solid solution is formed, providing solid solution strengthening. At the same time, Mg and Sc work together to promote the uniform precipitation of high-density Al3(Sc,Zr) nanophase (size 5~15nm) in subsequent heat treatment, achieving a balance between room temperature and high temperature strength.

[0020] (2) Cr element also promotes the formation of dense Cr2O3-Al2O3 composite oxide film, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of additive manufacturing aluminum alloy. Attached Figure Description
