Description

Preparation method of rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder for 3D printing
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, particularly belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of rare earth oxide dispersion reinforced tungsten powder for 3D printing.
Background
Tungsten is a representative refractory metal and has a plurality of excellent properties such as high melting point, good wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity and the like. Based on these excellent properties, tungsten-based materials have been widely used in the aerospace, medical, and nuclear industries. However, since tungsten has a high ductile-brittle transition temperature (200-. However, the above method has a limitation in producing a part having a complicated structure.
In recent years, the additive manufacturing can manufacture complex structural parts which are difficult or impossible to process by the traditional process without the traditional cutter or mould, can greatly simplify the process, reduce the manufacturing cost and shorten the manufacturing time, and has great advantages in manufacturing tungsten complex parts. However, tungsten with a high melting point exhibits high surface tension and high internal energy in the additive manufacturing process, which results in the occurrence of liquid tungsten balling, and the existence of impurities in tungsten also affects the grain boundary strength of tungsten, thereby causing cracking, so far, it is still impossible to obtain a fully dense and crack-free tungsten part through additive manufacturing, and the application of the tungsten part produced by 3D printing is limited.
Aiming at the problems of the tungsten in 3D printing, scientific researchers dope the rare earth oxide into the tungsten to play a role in dispersion strengthening and effectively improve the mechanical properties of the alloy. The oxide particles are dispersed in the tungsten crystal grains, and dislocation is inhibited and accumulated in the crystal grains, so that the mechanical property of the tungsten is improved. In addition, the oxide particles are dispersed at the grain boundary, so that the migration of the grain boundary can be hindered, the growth of the grains can be inhibited, and the grain refinement can be promoted. The uniformity of the dispersion of the rare earth oxide greatly affects the performance of the tungsten-based material, but the conventional ball milling method is difficult to realize uniform dispersion of tungsten oxide particles on a microscopic scale, and the produced powder has irregular shape, poor flowability and low apparent density. The particles of the rare earth oxide doped tungsten powder prepared by the liquid phase chemical method are generally nano or submicron in size, and the particle size is too small. In conclusion, the powder produced by the traditional method hardly meets the requirements of 3D printing in terms of powder performance, shape and particle size distribution, and the development of a preparation technology of the high-performance rare earth oxide dispersion-reinforced tungsten powder for 3D printing is particularly important.

In some embodiments, a method for preparing a rare earth oxide dispersion-reinforced tungsten powder for 3D printing includes the steps of:

(2) preparing a raw material solution by the solid mixture and water; generally, a solid mixture of ammonium metatungstate and rare earth nitrate is dissolved in water to form a raw material solution, wherein the rare earth nitrate comprises any one of lanthanum nitrate, yttrium nitrate or cerium nitrate; generally, the mass ratio of the solid mixture to water is controlled to be 1-3: 1, and the particle size of the product powder is controlled by controlling the concentration of the solution; generally, the solubility difference of ammonium metatungstate in water and ethanol is very large, when the ammonium metatungstate solution is dropwise added into ethanol, ammonium metatungstate can be separated out, and the larger the concentration of the ammonium metatungstate solution is, the larger the separated particles are;
(3) mixing ammonia water and ethanol to obtain a mixed solution, and adding the raw material solution into the mixed solution to obtain a mixed precipitate of ammonium metatungstate and rare earth hydroxide;
generally, after ammonia water and ethanol are mixed, uniform mixed liquor is obtained, a raw material solution is added into the mixed liquor, rare earth nitrate reacts with the ammonia water to obtain rare earth hydroxide precipitate, meanwhile, ammonium metatungstate cannot be dissolved in the ethanol and precipitates out as precipitate, and the rare earth hydroxide and the ammonium metatungstate precipitate out simultaneously in the reaction process to obtain a rare earth hydroxide-ammonium metatungstate mixed precipitate with uniform component distribution;
generally, the mass concentration of ammonia water is 15-25%;
generally, in the process of adding the raw material solution into the mixed solution, the raw material solution is gradually added, and meanwhile, the stirring is continuously carried out, so that the uniformity degree in the precipitation process is improved, the rare earth hydroxide is uniformly dispersed in the ammonium metatungstate, and the uniform dispersion distribution of the rare earth oxide in the tungsten powder particles in the later process is facilitated;
generally, ammonia water is added into ethanol, and then the raw material solution is added into the ethanol, so that the process of adding the raw material solution into the mixed solution is realized; continuously stirring in the adding process to fully and uniformly mix;
(4) drying the mixed precipitate of ammonium metatungstate and rare earth hydroxide at a first temperature to obtain ammonium metatungstate-rare earth hydroxide mixture powder; generally, ammonium metatungstate and rare earth hydroxide precipitates need to be cleaned and washed, and then dried to improve the purity of the precipitates, for example, the precipitates are washed with ethanol for 2-3 times, and then the washed precipitates are heated to a first temperature for drying; usually, drying is carried out in an oven, for example, the temperature of the oven is controlled to be 50-80 ℃, and then heat preservation is carried out for a certain time to obtain dry ammonium metatungstate-rare earth hydroxide mixture powder;
generally, the drying time is controlled to be 10-12 h;
(5) calcining the ammonium metatungstate-rare earth hydroxide mixture powder at a second temperature to obtain tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixture powder; calcining the dried ammonium metatungstate-rare earth hydroxide mixture powder, wherein the ammonium metatungstate is converted into tungsten oxide, the rare earth hydroxide is converted into rare earth oxide, the obtained product is tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder, the second temperature of the calcination is usually controlled to be 400-600 ℃, and the calcination time is 2-4 hours;
typically, calcination is carried out in flowing air or argon; the yellow tungsten oxide is obtained by calcining in a flowing air atmosphere, and the blue tungsten oxide is obtained by calcining in an argon atmosphere due to the lack of oxygen, so that the blue tungsten oxide has good reduction activity and the particle size is easier to control.
(6) Continuously reducing the tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder at a third temperature and a fourth temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere in sequence to obtain large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder; generally, tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder is reduced in a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain rare earth oxide doped tungsten powder particles, but the obtained product particles are fine, and the fine rare earth oxide doped tungsten powder particles are not beneficial to the spheroidization of the particles in the later process, therefore, as an optional embodiment, the inventor adds seed crystals into the tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder, then the seed crystals are mixed with the tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder to participate in a reduction reaction, and changes the process parameters of the reduction process to promote the reduction process to enhance the formation of the tungsten powder by dispersing the large-particle rare earth oxide with the particle size of more than 5 microns; for example, small-particle tungsten powder is used as a seed crystal, water vapor and tungsten powder directly react at high temperature to produce gaseous tungsten oxide hydrate, the tungsten oxide hydrate is further reduced to tungsten powder in hydrogen and deposited on the surface of the tungsten powder seed crystal particles, the particle size of the tungsten powder particles is increased, and meanwhile, the tungsten powder particles can be mutually aggregated and recrystallized at high temperature, and the particle size of the tungsten powder can also be increased; as an alternative example, small particle rare earth oxide dispersion strengthened tungsten powder is used as seed crystal and added into tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder.
Generally, the particle size of the prepared large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder has a certain distribution range, and in order to further control the particle size of the product to be more uniform and narrower, the large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder product is screened to remove the rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder with overlarge particle size and undersize particle size, so as to obtain the large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder with narrower particle size distribution range; as an optional embodiment, the screened small-particle rare earth oxide dispersion reinforced tungsten powder is used as a seed crystal, mixed with tungsten oxide-rare earth oxide mixed powder and participated in the reduction process in hydrogen atmosphere; on one hand, the volatilization-deposition growth of the tungsten powder is carried out, the oxide volatilizes at high temperature to form gaseous oxide hydrate with water vapor, the gaseous oxide hydrate is reduced into metal tungsten by hydrogen in a gas phase to be deposited on the surface of the tungsten powder, and the particle size of tungsten powder particles is increased; on the other hand, the tungsten powder grows by oxidation-reduction, the tungsten powder is oxidized by water vapor at high temperature and then reduced by hydrogen, and the tungsten powder grows by repeating the steps. Meanwhile, tungsten powder particles can be mutually aggregated and recrystallized at high temperature, and the particle size of the tungsten powder can be increased;
generally, the third temperature is 600 ℃, the reduction time is 1 hour at the third temperature, the tungsten trioxide can be completely converted into the tungsten dioxide, then the temperature is continuously raised to the fourth temperature of 800-1000 ℃, the reduction time is 3-6 hours at the fourth temperature, the tungsten dioxide can be converted into the metal tungsten, and the large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion reinforced tungsten powder is obtained;
generally, by controlling the dew point of hydrogen in a reducing atmosphere to be 10-30 ℃, the higher the dew point of hydrogen is, the better the volatilization deposition and oxidation-reduction growth effects of tungsten powder are, the larger the particle size of rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder is, the same the flow rate and heat preservation time of hydrogen are controlled, and the particle size of rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder is also controlled, generally, the smaller the hydrogen flow rate is, the longer the reduction time is, and the larger the particle size of tungsten powder is. Generally, too much hydrogen flow can bring away too much water vapor generated in the reduction process, so that the partial pressure of the water vapor in the furnace is reduced, and the tungsten powder is not beneficial to growing, so the hydrogen flow is generally required to be controlled in a smaller range to promote the grain size of the tungsten powder to grow. Generally, the extension of the reduction time is beneficial to the aggregation and recrystallization of the tungsten powder and the growth of the tungsten powder, so the reduction time is generally controlled in a longer range to promote the growth of the particle size of the tungsten powder.
(7) Spheroidizing large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powderProcessing to obtain spherical rare earth oxide dispersion reinforced tungsten powder; the sphericizing rate of the spherical rare earth oxide dispersion reinforced tungsten powder is not less than 95 percent, the Hall fluidity is not less than 6.5s/50g, and the apparent density is more than 9.0g/cm3The particle size is 15-53 μm. The spheroidization treatment of the large-particle rare earth oxide dispersion-enhanced tungsten powder is usually carried out in a spheroidization treatment device, such as a radio frequency induction plasma spheroidization device, wherein the power supply power is set to be 40-70 kW, and the carrier gas flow is 4-20 L.min-1The powder feeding rate is 20-70 g.min-1The pressure in the reaction chamber is 20 to 50 kPa.
