The additive manufacturing technology is one of the rapid prototyping technologies, and is a technology for constructing a three-dimensional part by using a three-dimensional model as a base and using a bondable material such as metal powder or plastic and the like in a mode of scanning layer by layer and stacking layer by layer. The technology combines various disciplines such as CAD/CAM, optics, numerical control, material science and the like, has very wide application field, and has application prospects in jewelry, medical treatment, shoes, industrial design, construction, aerospace, automobiles, education and the like.
At present, aiming at the additive manufacturing of aluminum alloy materials, the used powder materials are relatively fixed, generally AlSi10Mg, AlSi7Mg, AlSi12 and other aluminum-silicon alloys are more, and the additive manufacturing process is relatively mature due to better welding performance. However, the mechanical properties of the AlSi-series alloy are not high, which results in insufficient mechanical properties of the parts manufactured by additive manufacturing, and cannot meet the high strength requirement of the parts manufactured by additive manufacturing of aluminum alloy, so that the aluminum alloy powder material needs to be improved to improve the mechanical properties.
In the process of modifying the aluminum alloy powder for additive manufacturing, the mechanical property of the aluminum alloy can be improved by adding aluminum alloy related alloy elements or related reinforcing phases. Modifying the aluminum alloy powder, adding some additives with special effects, and improving the printing performance of the aluminum alloy powder is one of the important research and development directions. Patent [ CN106694870A ] is a research and development scheme for manufacturers to modify powder, and after cesium fluoroaluminate and potassium fluoroaluminate are added, although the printing performance of powder and the mechanical performance of printed parts are improved to a certain extent, cesium, potassium and other elements are added into the powder, the content is not low, and the generated fluoride cannot be completely eliminated, so that impurities can be brought in, and the fluoride is harmful to the environment and is not suitable for being used in large quantities.
