Abstract

Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) of SiCp/AlSi10Mg is promising in many industrial fields. In this paper, the characteristics of a 15 wt.% 1200 mesh SiCp/AlSi10Mg metal matrix composite fabricated by LPBF were investigated systematically, i.e., from a single track to a block. It was found that when the laser energy input was high enough, the single track was continuous and not distorted; when the laser energy input was low, the single track was unstable and wrinkled. The densification of the LPBFed composite sample was influenced significantly by the surface morphologies and geometric dimensions of the single tracks. As high as 98.9% relative density was achieved when the optimized processing parameters were used. Because of the good wettability and the interfacial reaction during the process, the interface of SiC and the matrix showed good bonding. Near the interface of SiC and the matrix, needle-shaped phase Al4SiC4 could be found both in the single track and block, and the faceted particle Si was formed in the block because of the interfacial reaction. The microhardness of the LPBFed SiCp/AlSi10Mg composites was much higher than that of the LPBFed unreinforced AlSi10Mg. A coefficient of friction of 0.178 and wear rate of 2.02 × 10-4 mm3/(N⋅m) were achieved for the LPBFed composites. The main wear mechanism was delamination wear, accompanied by abrasive wear. The maximum yield strength and ultimate compressive strength were 566.6 MPa and 764.1 MPa, respectively. The fracture mode of the LPBFed composites is mainly brittle fracture. This study provides a theoretical and technical basis for LPBFed SiCp/AlSi10Mg 3D parts.

激光粉末床熔合SiCp/AlSi10Mg复合材料的特性研究:从单轨到立方块。
SiCp/AlSi10Mg的激光粉末床熔融(LPBF)在许多工业领域都有应用前景。本文系统地研究了LPBF法制备的15wt .% 1200目SiCp/AlSi10Mg金属基复合材料从单轨到块状的特性。结果表明,当激光能量输入足够大时,单轨迹连续且不失真;当激光输入能量较低时,单轨不稳定且起皱。单径面形貌和几何尺寸对LPBFed复合材料的致密性有显著影响。采用优化后的工艺参数,相对密度可达98.9%。由于良好的润湿性和过程中的界面反应,SiC与基体界面表现出良好的结合。在SiC与基体界面附近,在单径迹和块状中均存在针状相Al4SiC4,块状中由于界面反应形成了面状颗粒Si。lpbfedsicp /AlSi10Mg复合材料的显微硬度明显高于未增强AlSi10Mg复合材料。复合材料的摩擦系数为0.178,磨损率为2.02 × 10-4 mm3/(N·m)。磨损机制以脱层磨损为主,并伴有磨粒磨损。最大屈服强度为566.6 MPa,极限抗压强度为764.1 MPa。LPBFed复合材料的断裂方式以脆性断裂为主。本研究为lpbfedsicp /AlSi10Mg三维零件的制备提供了理论和技术基础。
