Description

Method for preparing porous metal part with complex structure by using 3D printing technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing a porous metal part with a complex structure by using a 3D printing technology, and belongs to the technical field of 3D printing material design.
Background
In recent years, with the demands of various fields on green materials such as environmental protection, cleanness, high efficiency, energy conservation and the like, new materials and new technologies are continuously generated, the development and the application of metal porous materials are increasingly concerned by people, and the application field of the metal porous materials is continuously expanded. The metal porous (foam metal) material is a novel engineering material which is developed rapidly in the late 20 th century 80 s internationally, consists of a rigid framework and internal holes and has excellent physical properties and good mechanical properties. The composite material has excellent physical properties such as small density, large rigidity, large specific surface area, good energy absorption and vibration reduction performance, good noise reduction effect and high electromagnetic shielding performance, so that the application field of the composite material is expanded to the fields of aviation, electronics, medical materials, biochemistry and the like. The metal porous material of the through hole also has the advantages of strong heat exchange and radiation capability, good permeability, high thermal conductivity and the like; while the physical properties of a closed-cell metallic porous material are opposite to those of a through-hole. With the development of modern industry, the metal porous material presents the scenes of strong functionality, wide application range, continuous emergence of new varieties and continuous expansion of use space, and is widely applied to the aspects of filtration and separation, heat exchange, catalysis carriers in the chemical industry, sound absorption, noise reduction and silencing, fluid flow control, electrode substrates, biological materials and the like as a functional material; the material can be widely applied to the automobile industry, the building decoration, the aerospace industry, the electromagnetic shielding and the like as a structural material. The titanium and titanium alloy porous material has good compatibility with human tissues and is harmless to human bodies, so that the titanium and titanium alloy porous material is widely applied to artificial bones, dental prostheses, artificial joints and the like, the elastic modulus of the porous artificial bones can be adjusted through the porosity, the porous artificial bones can be well compatible with human bones, and meanwhile, the titanium alloy porous material has a good vibration damping effect, and the titanium alloy is a preferred material for medical internal implantation products such as artificial joints, dental implants, artificial heart valves, interventional cardiovascular stents and the like at present. For example, Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy widely used in biomedical field is easy to generate stress shielding phenomenon due to higher elastic modulus, thereby causing bone absorption around the implant and implant loosening to cause implant failure, so researchers at home and abroad are all engaged in studying how to properly adjust porosity to reduce elastic modulus of titanium alloy, and development of low-modulus high-strength titanium alloy has become a research hotspot in biomedical material field.
On the other hand, in the related fields of medical, aviation, energy, environmental protection, electronics, biochemistry, chemical industry and the like, the demand for personalized and customized porous products or parts is increasing. For example, bone defects of tumor patients, malformed patients, revision patients, etc. have different characteristics, and different patients must adopt personalized treatment means to tailor the porous implant. However, titanium alloys are very prone to oxygen and nitrogen absorption during melting and casting and hot working due to their low thermal conductivity and strong chemical affinity, resulting in a drastic decrease in performance. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain a titanium alloy structural member of a complicated structure using the conventional machining method. The high die cost makes the cost for preparing titanium alloy personalized customized medical implants more expensive. The additive manufacturing technology (selective laser melting) which is rapidly developed in the last decade has become the best solution for determining personalized and customized titanium alloy medical products, and is widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad.
In addition, various preparation methods are proposed in order to obtain porous metal materials with different properties, but the conventional preparation techniques of the porous metal materials are mainly classified into a solid metal sintering method (such as a powder metallurgy method for preparing the sintered porous metal materials), a liquid metal solidification method (such as a casting method and a melt foaming method for preparing the foamed metal), a metal deposition method (such as a sputtering method and a reactive deposition method for preparing the foamed metal), and a 3D printing method. Wherein, other than 3D printing techniques, complex structures cannot be prepared by other techniques. Although the 3D printing technology can customize a finished product with a complex structure, the current 3D printing method generally directly prepares a porous metal material by controlling laser power and powder laying parameters or removes a pore-forming agent and/or a binder by sintering when adding the pore-forming agent and/or the binder and performing 3D printing to obtain the porous metal material. Although the 3D printing technology can customize a finished product with a complex structure, the technology of removing the pore-forming agent and/or the binder by sintering during 3D printing by adding the pore-forming agent and/or the binder to obtain the porous metal material has the following disadvantages:
1. the introduced amount of the pore-forming agent and/or the binder is too small, and is generally not more than 4 wt% of the raw material powder; this is detrimental to the preparation of a finished product with large porosity;
2. the introduced pore former and/or binder typically decompose upon 3D printing. During printing, the decomposition of the pore former and/or binder, while facilitating pore formation, also results in a substantial attenuation of the mechanical properties of the resulting product.
3. The through-hole rate is low.

And then placing the ball-milled powder in a powder supply cylinder of selective laser melting equipment produced by the Hippocrate Hua, selecting a laser beam spot with the diameter of 30 microns, laser energy of 30W, a scanning speed of 0.4m/s, a scanning interval of 100 microns and the thickness of a single-layer powder-laying layer of 30 microns, and carrying out laser deposition on the aluminum-silicon alloy in the protective atmosphere of argon. After the laser processing is finished, the sample is placed in water at room temperature for dissolving for 10 minutes, then is dried at 120 ℃ for 20 minutes, and is subjected to sand blasting and necessary grinding, so that the required personalized aluminum-silicon alloy member is obtained. The strength of the aluminum-silicon alloy member is 80MPa, and the porosity is 8.7%.
The laser energy used is outside the scope of the present invention, resulting in poor performance of the 3D printed alloy.
Comparative example 3:
the other conditions were the same as in example 1 except that a laser energy of 500W was used; the experiment failed due to the temperature being too high, far above the boiling point of sodium chloride.
Comparative example 4:
