Description

Method for forming low-shrinkage metal part by droplet spraying and product
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for forming a low-shrinkage metal part by droplet spraying and a product.
Background
The technology of droplet spraying and forming metal parts is based on an additive manufacturing principle, powder is paved into a thin layer, a polymer adhesive is sprayed onto the thin layer by a spray head according to the slicing information of a three-dimensional model of an object, the metal powder is connected together under the action of the adhesive, then a new layer of powder is paved on the surface of a powder bed, the adhesive is sprayed again according to the slicing information of the next layer, the processes are repeated until printing is finished, and printing areas of all layers are connected together to form an initial blank with certain strength. Metal parts having an extremely high degree of freedom in shape can be formed in a short time by the droplet discharging technique. Because a die and a corresponding tool clamp are not needed, compared with the traditional forming processes such as casting, forging, machining and the like, the technology has great advantages in cost and time in the fields of rapid prototyping and small-batch customization. Compared with metal additive manufacturing methods which take laser as energy, such as selective laser melting and the like, the droplet jetting technology does not need a laser system, and has low operation and maintenance cost and small volume. In addition, the forming speed of the nozzle is far faster than that of a laser single-point scanning mode, and the speed advantage is more obvious when a large-size and large-volume metal part is formed. However, the droplet ejection technique has a disadvantage in that the formed metal article is relatively weak and is therefore generally used for making a preform and has improved strength by post-processing.
The metallurgical bonding between the powder particles of the metal preform is generally achieved by two post-treatments to obtain a final part that meets the service strength. One method is that under the conditions of inert atmosphere protection and high-melting-point ceramic particle support, an initial blank is gradually heated to a sintering temperature which is 0.5-0.85 times of the melting point of the metal material, the temperature is preserved, the binder material is decomposed and volatilized in the heating process, substance migration is carried out between discrete metal particles in the form of diffusion and flowing, and sintering necks appear between the particles and grow large. After the temperature is raised to a certain temperature, heat preservation is carried out, closed holes are formed among the particles at the stage and are reduced or even disappear along with the time, and the integral density and strength of the sintered part are obviously increased. The other method is that the primary blank is pre-sintered at the temperature of 0.4-0.55 times of the melting point of the metal material, sintering necks are formed between adjacent particles to obtain a pre-sintered part with certain strength, then the pre-sintered part is contacted with or immersed in another low-melting-point liquid material, the low-melting-point material flows along the pores between the particles of the pre-sintered part under the action of capillary force in the vacuum or low-pressure environment until the pores are completely filled to obtain a compact part, and the strength of the primary blank is obviously increased after infiltration.
The post-treatment method of high-temperature sintering greatly improves the mechanical property of the initial blank, but the size of the part in the densification process usually has 12-20% of linear shrinkage, and the shape after shrinkage is difficult to predict. Although the linear shrinkage rate of the method for infiltrating the low-melting-point material after pre-sintering can be controlled to be 3% -8%, the method cannot be used for manufacturing products with higher precision requirements such as molds, and the like, and the low-pressure or vacuum environment required by the infiltration process makes the process more complex, the time and the economic cost higher, and the defects of insufficient infiltration and the like easily occur.

Further, in step S1, the base material includes copper and copper alloy powder, aluminum and aluminum alloy powder, iron and iron alloy powder, titanium and titanium alloy powder, and superalloy powder, and the like, and the average particle size of the powder is 40 to 80 μm; preferably, the average particle size of the matrix material is 60 μm to 70 μm, at which time the powder has good flowability. The filling material is selected from metal powder capable of well infiltrating the matrix material, and comprises aluminum-based powder, copper-based powder, silver-based powder, nickel-based powder or titanium-based powder, and the average particle size of the filling material is 0.5-20 mu m. The mass ratio of the base material to the filling material is 5: 1-20: 1, and as shown in fig. 3, after the base material and the filling material are mechanically mixed, the filling material is mainly located in gaps among the base material particles.
Further, in step S1, an alkali metal, a halide of an organic ammonium salt, an amine organic compound, or an amide organic compound may be added to the mixed metal powder to remove an oxide film on the surface of the matrix material or the filler material, thereby promoting wetting of the particle surface. Wherein the halide of the organic ammonium salt comprises ZnCl2、NH4Cl, NaF, etc., amine and amide organic compounds such as urea, ethylenediamine, triethylenediamine, etcAn alcohol amine.
Further, in step S2, the polymer adhesive used is a water-based adhesive or an organic adhesive, and is prepared according to the parameters of the nozzle such as viscosity, surface tension, and pH of the ink. In practical engineering, different printing devices have different requirements on adhesives, for example, a preferred preparation method of the water-based adhesive is as follows: 20-60 parts of absolute ethyl alcohol, 40-70 parts of deionized water and 5-10 parts of high polymer material are placed in a planetary ball mill according to the mass part ratio and ball milled for 1-8 hours at the speed of 20-100 revolutions per minute to prepare the binder with the viscosity and the surface tension meeting the requirements of the piezoelectric type spray head. The high polymer material is PVA, PMMA, PVP, PVB and the like, and the materials are dispersed and dissolved in deionized water and sprayed on the metal powder bed through a spray head, so that the dispersed powder can be bonded together. The viscosity of the adhesive is 4-12 mPa.s, the surface tension is 28-40 mN/m, and the adhesive is convenient to spray.
