中文摘要

激光选区熔化（SLM）技术可实现复杂精密金属零部件的一次性快速成形，基于该技术，通过零件结构的拓扑优化及多零件的整合成形，可有效降低零部件的重量并提升其性能。铝合金广泛应用于航空航天等领域重要零部件的制造，然而目前获得广泛应用的SLM成形铝合金主要集中在Al–Si系铸造合金成分，但其强度较低。SLM成形Sc和Zr改性的Al–Mg和Al–Mn系铝合金的力学性能优异，但合金中包含较多的Sc元素，原料成本高昂。通过Er替代Sc可有效降低合金的原料成本，但会恶化合金的SLM成形性。为提升含Er铝合金的SLM成形性，本文通过TiB₂纳米颗粒对Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr合金进行成分改性，通过合金的表面形貌和显微组织观察、相结构鉴定和力学性能测试等试验手段系统研究了SLM成形TiB₂/Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr合金成形性及时效处理对合金微观组织和力学性能的影响。研究结果表明，由于均匀光滑的上表面和合适的激光能量输入，使得在250 W激光功率下成形的合金具有更高的相对密度，合金相对密度的最大值为(99.7 ± 0.1)%，表现出良好的SLM成形性。合金具有柱状晶-等轴晶双峰晶粒分布，在晶界处存在TiB₂纳米颗粒、Al₆Mn和Al₃Er纳米析出相。沉积态合金经400°C直接时效处理后，由于α-Al基体中大量二次Al₆Mn相的析出，从而有效提升了合金的强度。经400°C时效处理4 h后，合金的屈服强度和极限抗拉强度具有最大值，分别为（374 ± 1）和（512 ± 13）MPa。晶粒的抑制生长、高热稳定性TiB₂纳米颗粒的存在和二次Al₆Mn的时效析出共同使得SLM成形TiB₂改性Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr合金具有优异的强度和热稳定性。

Abstract

Abstract

To increase the processability and plasticity of the selective laser melting (SLM) fabricated Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr alloys, a novel TiB₂-modified Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr alloy with a mixture of Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr and nano-TiB₂ powders was fabricated by SLM. The processability, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the alloy were systematically investigated by density measurement, microstructure characterization, and mechanical properties testing. The alloys fabricated at 250 W displayed higher relative densities due to a uniformly smooth top surface and appropriate laser energy input. The maximum relative density value of the alloy reached (99.7 ± 0.1)%, demonstrating good processability. The alloy exhibited a duplex grain microstructure consisting of columnar regions primarily and equiaxed regions with TiB₂, Al₆Mn, and Al₃Er phases distributed along the grain boundaries. After directly aging treatment at a high temperature of 400°C, the strength of the SLM-fabricated TiB₂/Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr alloy increased due to the precipitation of the secondary Al₆Mn phases. The maximum yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of the aging alloy were measured to be (374 ± 1) and (512 ± 13) MPa, respectively. The SLM-fabricated TiB₂/Al–Mn–Mg–Er–Zr alloy demonstrates exceptional strength and thermal stability due to the synergistic effects of the inhibition of grain growth, the incorporation of TiB₂ nanoparticles, and the precipitation of secondary Al₆Mn nanoparticles.
