3D打印技术具有精度高、周期短、省材料、能制备复杂一体成型零件等优点,目前已经成为国内外最新关注的研究重点。对于金属激光3D打印,金属粉末是实现快速成型打印件的物质基础,金属粉末的形貌、流动性、氧含量、松装密度、粒径直接决定了3D打印件的最终性能。金属激光3D打印分为铺粉式打印和送粉式打印,目前的主流方式为铺粉式打印,铺粉打印需要金属粉末具有良好的流动性,粉末的流动性越好,铺粉越均匀,流动性好的粉末不仅可以提高3D打印制品的尺寸精度和表面质量,还可以提高成型件组织的均匀性和致密度,可缩短加工时间。3D printing technology has the advantages of high precision, short cycle, material saving, and the ability to prepare complex one-piece parts. It has become the latest research focus at home and abroad. For metal laser 3D printing, metal powder is the material basis for rapid prototyping of printed parts. The morphology, fluidity, oxygen content, bulk density, and particle size of metal powder directly determine the final performance of 3D printed parts. Metal laser 3D printing is divided into powder spreading printing and powder feeding printing. The current mainstream method is powder spreading printing. Powder spreading printing requires metal powder to have good fluidity. The better the fluidity of the powder, the more uniform the powder spreading. Powder with good fluidity can not only improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of 3D printed products, but also improve the uniformity and density of the molded parts, which can shorten the processing time.
打印粉末的制备一般采用气雾化制备,气雾化的基本原理是利用高速气流将液态金属冲刷破碎成小液滴后凝固成粉末,该方法制备的粉末一般为正态分布,粒度分布区间为0~300μm,在雾化过程中不可避免会产生粒度为-15μm的超细粉末,而超细粉末会吸附在其他粉末的表面,影响粉末的流动性,同时粉末在转移、筛分、封装、保存过程中不可避免会与空气接触,空气中的水分会使粉末表面潮湿,影响粉末的流动性,粉末的流动性不佳会影响铺粉的厚度和铺粉的均匀性;同时空气中的氧会使粉末表面被氧化,增加粉末的氧含量。上述问题会导致打印过程中粉末烧结不完全、结合强度低,所得的打印件性能不达标。Printing powder is generally prepared by atomization. The basic principle of atomization is to use high-speed airflow to scour liquid metal into small droplets and then solidify them into powder. The powder prepared by this method is generally normally distributed, with a particle size distribution range of 0 to 300 μm. In the atomization process, ultrafine powder with a particle size of -15 μm will inevitably be produced, and the ultrafine powder will be adsorbed on the surface of other powders, affecting the fluidity of the powder. At the same time, the powder will inevitably come into contact with the air during the transfer, screening, packaging, and storage process. The moisture in the air will make the powder surface moist, affecting the fluidity of the powder. Poor powder fluidity will affect the thickness and uniformity of the powder. At the same time, the oxygen in the air will oxidize the powder surface and increase the oxygen content of the powder. The above problems will lead to incomplete sintering of the powder and low bonding strength during the printing process, and the performance of the resulting prints will not meet the standards.
对比,中国专利:CN110420854A,3D打印粉末的筛分方法,利用气流分级机对气雾化制备的通粉进行筛分,除去粒度为-15μm的超细粉末,得到粒度在15~250μm区间段的粉末;利用手套箱对上述粒度在15~250μm区间段的粉末进行超声波筛分,得到粒度在15~45μm区间段的打印粉末;对粒度在15~45μm区间段的打印粉末进行封装。本发明通过对气雾化制备的通粉进行连续筛分,依次将通粉中的超细粉末、大粒度粉末去除;通过控制气流分级机风轮的转速和进气量、超声波震动筛分机的超声波频率和筛分时间,有效降低了超细粉末的数量,并通过对手套箱的水含量、氧含量等参数进行控制,有效降低了打印粉末的湿度和增氧量,通过充气包装避免真空包装使得粉末结块、粘连,影响粉末的流动性。In contrast, Chinese patent: CN110420854A, a method for screening 3D printing powder, uses an airflow classifier to screen the aerosolized powder, removes the ultrafine powder with a particle size of -15μm, and obtains a powder with a particle size in the range of 15 to 250μm; uses a glove box to ultrasonically screen the powder with a particle size in the range of 15 to 250μm, and obtains a printing powder with a particle size in the range of 15 to 45μm; and encapsulates the printing powder with a particle size in the range of 15 to 45μm. The present invention continuously screens the aerosolized powder, and removes the ultrafine powder and large-particle powder in the powder in turn; by controlling the speed and air intake of the airflow classifier wind wheel, the ultrasonic frequency and screening time of the ultrasonic vibration screening machine, the amount of ultrafine powder is effectively reduced, and by controlling the water content, oxygen content and other parameters of the glove box, the humidity and oxygen increase of the printing powder are effectively reduced, and the vacuum packaging is prevented by the inflatable packaging to prevent the powder from agglomerating and sticking, which affects the fluidity of the powder.
该专利虽然控制了水、氧含量,但是粉末所赐转移,过程繁琐,而且手套箱内进行超声波筛分对手套箱使用寿命有影响,不适合规模化筛分生产。Although this patent controls the water and oxygen content, the powder transfer process is cumbersome, and ultrasonic screening in the glove box affects the service life of the glove box, which is not suitable for large-scale screening production.
有鉴于此,特提出本发明。In view of this, the present invention is proposed.
