Impact of nano-TiO2 modification on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of LPBF 2024 aluminum alloy
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) fabrication of 2024 Al alloy has attracted increasing attention, while the coarse columnar dendrites and severe segregation of alloying elements significantly deteriorate the corrosion performance, remaining to be tough problems to solve. In this work, we introduce TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) into the LPBF process of 2024 alloy, which effectively triggers heterogeneous nucleation and obtained fine equiaxed grains with the size of 1-2 μm, near one order of magnitude smaller than that without TiO2 (diameter of ~20 μm). Meanwhile, the severe interdendritic segregation of Cu in LPBFed 2024 alloy is mitigated owing to the blocking effect of TiO2 NPs on the diffusion of solute atoms in the solidification process. It is found that the addition of TiO2 reduces the donor density in passive film, lowers the potential difference between the segregation region and Al matrix from 1.50 V to 0.88 V, and thus notably improves the corrosion resistance. Our work overcomes the coarse microstructure and segregation problems of LPBF, which paves the way for the additive manufacturing of corrosion-resistant Al-Cu alloys.
