    Effect of Laser Energy Density and Solid Solution on Microstructure and Properties of Selective Laser Melted NiTi Alloy

    • 摘要: 以NiTi合金粉末为原料,在不同激光功率和扫描速度下采用激光选区熔化工艺制备NiTi合金,研究了激光能量密度(26.67~111.11 J·mm−3)和950 ℃×2 h固溶处理对NiTi合金显微组织、相对密度、力学性能的影响。结果表明:随着激光能量密度的增加,沉积态NiTi合金的相对密度先增大后减小再略微增大,当激光能量密度为50.00 J·mm−3时,相对密度最大,为99.89%;随着激光能量密度的增加,合金中镍含量降低,相变温度升高,B2奥氏体相减少,B19′马氏体相增多,合金微观结构变化不大,垂直于成形方向为等轴晶,平行于成形方向为柱状晶,晶粒由不规则形状变为规则形状;经过固溶处理后,晶粒形貌未发生明显变化,但组织更加均匀。随着激光能量密度的增加,沉积态和固溶态合金的抗拉强度和断后伸长率基本呈先增后减再增的趋势,硬度降低。当激光能量密度为50.00 J·mm−3时,沉积态合金的拉伸性能最好,抗拉强度为769 MPa,断后伸长率为6.73%,固溶处理后抗拉强度为762 MPa,断后伸长率达到了7.27%。NiTi合金的最优SLM工艺参数为激光功率100 W、扫描速度800 mm·s−1、扫描间距100 μm、铺粉厚度30 μm。

       

      Abstract: NiTi alloy was prepared by laser selective melting process with NiTi alloy powder as raw materials under different laser powers and scanning speeds. The effects of laser energy density (26.67–111.11 J · mm−3) and 950 ℃×2 h solid solution on the microstructure, relative density and mechanical properties of NiTi alloy were investigated. The results show that with the increase of laser energy density, the relative density of the deposited NiTi alloy firstly increased, then decreased and then slightly increased, and reached the highest value (99.89%) under the laser energy density of 50.00 J · mm−3. With the increase of laser energy density, the nickel content in the alloy decreased, the phase transition temperature increased, the B2 austenite phase decreased, and the B19´ martensite phase increased; the microstructure of the alloy did not change much, and it was equiaxed crystal perpendicular to the forming direction and columnar crystal parallel to the forming direction; the grain shape changed from irregular shape to regular shape. After solid solution, the grain morphology did not change significantly, but the structure was more uniform. With the increase of laser energy density, the tensile strength and percentage elongation after fracture of the deposited and solid-soluted alloys both basically increased first, then decreased and then increased, and the hardness decreased. When the laser energy density was 50.00 J · mm−3, the deposited alloy had the best tensile property, with the tensile strength of 769 MPa and the percentage elongation after fracture of 6.73%, and after solid solution the tensile strength and percentage elongation after fracture were 762 MPa, 7.27%, respectively. The optimal SLM process parameters of NiTi alloy were laser power of 100 W, scanning speed of 800 mm · s−1, scanning spacing of 100 mm and powder thickness of 30 mm.
