1年前浏览4501

前言

近年来，激光粉末床熔融（LPBF）技术在制造NiTi合金功能集成构件方面展现出了巨大潜力。但NiTi合金在LPBF过程中的杂质拾取、易挥发元素烧损及缺陷易发性增加了构件性能/功能退化的风险。此外，NiTi合金基于电-热-机械能转换实现自身形状回复的能力为自回复智能构件设计和制提供了思路。为此，需深入研究LPBF成形NiTi合金形/性及功能一体化工艺调控原理及电驱动条件下变形结构的温度时空分布及回复形状机制。

试验研究方法

通过LPBF工艺以预合金化NiTi合金粉末为原料开展NiTi样品工艺优化研究，采用阿基米德排水法测试样品密度，采用差示扫描量热法（DSC）和X射线衍射（XRD）确定NiTi样品的相转变行为，通过电感耦合等离子体光发射光谱法（ICP-OES）进行化学成分分析。根据ISO6892:2009标准，使用万能试验机开展单轴拉伸试验测定拉伸性能，通过拉伸试验和水浴加热测定形状回复效应。通过自主搭建的电驱动形状回复功能测试装置分析结构在回复过程中的温度时空特征和形状回复行为。

论文结果

（1）在高激光功率和低扫描速度区域获得了无明显变形和宏观裂纹的合适加工窗口。

（2）在试样X和Y方向上，测量尺寸随激光功率增加或扫描速度减小而增加。

（3）试样的相转变温度随着扫描速度增加或激光功率减小而降低，且所有试样均由B2奥氏体、B19’马氏体及Ni3Ti组成。

（4）在250 W和1200 mm/s的最佳参数下，可以获得753.28 MPa的拉伸强度和6.81%的延伸率，并获得了88.23%的形状回复率。

论文主要结论

（1）在高激光功率和低扫描速度组合区域易获得较高成形质量的试样，试样的最高致密度为99.65%。

（2）试样尺寸精度受熔池铺展和表面的双重影响，在高激光能量输入条件下，熔池尺寸增加和粉末熔化得更彻底使得测量尺寸大于设计值。

（3）通过工艺优化获得了致密化程度高、成形尺寸精准、相变温度适用、力学性能优异的激光工艺参数（250 W和1200 mm/s）。

（4）采用电驱动可实现LPBF成形NiTi手性晶格结构的形状回复，在电驱动回复初期具有较高的形状回复速度，且电驱动回复率随着驱动电流的提高而增大。

前景与应用

本研究形成的LPBF成形NiTi合金形/性及功能一体化工艺调控方法适用于复杂功能集成构件的近净成形，揭示的电阻热驱动NiTi手性晶格结构形状回复机制及温度-位移响应关系为航空航天变形可回复智能一体化构件设计提供了工艺保障及理论基础。
