Description

Preparation method of nickel-based superalloy powder for laser forming
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder for laser forming, belonging to the field of high-temperature alloy and powder metallurgy.
Background
The nickel-based high-temperature alloy has excellent high-temperature corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and high strength, and is widely applied to the fields of aircraft engine turbine discs, rocket engines, aircraft aircrafts and the like. However, the nickel-based superalloy is difficult to cut and low in forming freedom, and laser forming provides a new technical approach for solving the forming and application problems of the nickel-based superalloy. Laser forming is an important Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology that begins to develop in the middle of the 90 s of the 20 th century, and includes powder bed laser forming (selective laser melting) and powder laser cladding. The laser forming can directly obtain solid parts with good metallurgical bonding and density close to 100%, can realize net forming or near net forming of materials, has good applicability to materials which are difficult to process or components with complex structures, and has wide application prospect. However, unlike the conventional powder forming process, laser forming requires not only low oxygen content, high sphericity, good flowability, no hollow defects, but also uniform particle size distribution, less satellite powder, and high apparent density of the powder. Wherein, the powder required by the laser forming in the powder bed selection area is usually fine powder with the particle size of less than 45 μm, and the powder with the particle size of 45-106 μm is mainly adopted by the laser cladding forming.
At present, the preparation methods of the high-temperature alloy powder mainly comprise a plasma rotating electrode method (PREP) and an air atomization method (AA). The powder prepared by the PREP method has better comprehensive quality and mainly comprises powder with large grain diameter. The PREP method is characterized in that the raw material is a rotary electrode bar prepared by finely processing a fully alloyed master alloy bar, and the master alloy bar serving as the electrode is required to have uniform components, low impurity content, high requirement on the quality of the raw material and complex requirement on equipment. The AA method directly atomizes the alloy melt into metal powder, the prepared powder has fine granularity, and the process cost is lower than that of the PREP method. Since laser forming requires a large amount of powder, it requires a large particle size, particularly a fine powder having a particle size of less than 50 μm. In order to improve the utilization rate of powder materials, the nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder for laser forming is mainly prepared by an air atomization method at present. However, the nickel-based superalloy has complex components and high melting point, and very complex physical and chemical changes in the gas atomization process, so that the defect of powder hollowness is easily caused, and gas inclusion is caused. Meanwhile, the powder required by laser forming in the powder bed selection area has the particle size of less than 45 μm, large specific surface area, easy oxygen adsorption and increased oxygen content, which leads to the performance reduction of the formed sample. At present, satellite powder and non-metal impurities can also appear in the powder prepared by the AA method, the yield of fine powder (the particle size is less than 50 mu m) is lower and generally does not exceed 40 percent, and the production cost of laser forming in a powder bed selection area is increased; the powder with the grain diameter of 45-106 mu m required by laser cladding forming often has more hollow defects, and the defects are easy to become crack sources in the laser forming process, so that the quality and the performance of a formed sample are reduced.
The invention provides a preparation method of nickel-based superalloy powder for laser forming, which is used for preparing the nickel-based superalloy powder meeting the technical requirements of laser forming, effectively improving the yield of fine powder (the particle size is less than 50 mu m), and solving the problems of powder hollow defect, satellite powder and the like.

Meanwhile, the larger the pulverizing pressure is, the higher the relative speed of the airflow and the metal liquid flow is, so that the atomizing process is performed more fully, and more and finer powder particles are obtained.
