The invention discloses an additive manufacturing method for in-situ regulation and control of a TiB / TiC
titanium-based heterostructure through
laser deposition, and belongs to the technical field of
composite material preparation. According to the method,
laser path planning is carried out based on three-
dimensional modeling and layered
slicing; the preparation method comprises the following steps: ball-milling and mixing
titanium alloy powder, nano
boron carbide powder and trace
rare earth powder according to a specific proportion, and carrying out
vacuum drying; and addition of trace
rare earth is beneficial to grain refinement and improvement of reinforcement phase distribution and
interface bonding. Under the action of a high-energy
laser beam, the mixed powder is fused in an
argon protective
atmosphere, an in-situ reaction is carried out at the same time, and TiB and TiC reinforced phases are generated; the gradient component design can be implemented in the laser
deposition process, specifically, the powder feeding proportion of B4C powder is dynamically controlled through a program, the gradient of the B4C powder is increased from the bottom layer to the
surface layer in the direction perpendicular to the substrate, and therefore the gradient heterostructure with the enhanced phase content and performance gradually changed is formed. According to the method, the problems of non-uniform reinforcement phase distribution, obdurability mismatch,
plasticity loss and the like in a traditional method are solved, the prepared
composite material or gradient component has high strength (the tensile strength reaches 987.66 MPa) and good
plasticity and
toughness matching, no crack defect exists, and the method is suitable for manufacturing of high-performance parts in the fields of
aerospace and high-end
machine manufacturing.
