摘要
激光粉末床熔合(LPBF)由于具有几何设计自由和近净形状的特点,被广泛用于制备磁致热La(Fe,Si)13基合金。然而,打印样品显示明显的裂纹,这阻碍了它们的应用。利用LPBF制备了富La/ ce的La- ce - fe - co - si合金,并研究了短时间退火30 min后的显微组织演变。打印样品由均匀细小的富La/ ce相和α-Fe(Co,Si)相组成,并伴有许多冷裂纹。值得注意的是,这些裂纹在退火过程中被La/Ce氧化物填充,导致一定程度的愈合。由于具有良好的裂纹愈合效果和良好的微观组织,获得了优异的抗压强度,达到570 MPa。退火后的样品中,nazn13型相的含量为79.06 wt%,在0 ~ 5 t的磁场变化下,磁熵变化为−7.48 J·kg−1·K−1。本研究为利用LPBF方法制备高强度La(Fe,Si)13基磁性制冷剂提供了一条有前途的富稀土成分设计途径。
Enhancement of the mechanical strength in laser powder bed fused La/Ce-rich La-Ce-Fe-Co-Si magnetocaloric materials via crack healing
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) has been recently adopted to prepare magnetocaloric La(Fe,Si)13-based alloys due to geometry design freedom and near-net-shape features. However, the as-printed sample showed pronounced cracks which hindered their application. Here, La/Ce-rich La-Ce-Fe-Co-Si alloys were prepared by LPBF and the microstructural evolution after 30 min of short annealing was investigated. The as-printed sample consisted of uniformly fine La/Ce-rich and α-Fe(Co,Si) phases with many cold cracks. Notably, these cracks were filled with La/Ce oxides during annealing, leading to a certain degree of healing. Owing to the crack healing effect and the fine microstructure, an excellent compressive strength of 570 MPa was obtained. The annealed samples contained 79.06 wt% of NaZn13-type phases, and the magnetic entropy change was −7.48 J·kg−1·K−1 for a magnetic field change of 0–5 T. This research presents a promising route of rare-earth rich composition design for obtaining high-strength La(Fe,Si)13-based magnetic refrigerants by the LPBF method.
