层间超声冲击复合CMT电弧增材制造Al-5%Mg合金的组织和性能影响

Microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-5%Mg alloy by CMT-WAAM with layer-by-layer ultrasonic impact treatment

  • 摘要: 采用逐层超声冲击(ultrasonic impact treatment, UIT)工艺复合强化冷金属过渡(cold metal transfer, CMT)线材电弧增材制造(wire and arc additive manufacturing, WAAM)Al-5%Mg合金薄壁件,对比研究施加不同超声冲击电流对CMT-WAAM单道多层薄壁件宏观成形、气孔演化、凝固组织特性和力学性能的影响.结果表明,超声冲击产生的严重塑性变形作用能够对沉积层成形、微观组织和力学性能产生积极影响. 与未施加UIT相比,在超声冲击电流为3 A下的沉积试件具有较优宏观成形,气孔缺陷率由0.742%降低至0.496%,沉积层平均晶粒尺寸由186 μm降低至147 μm,晶粒尺寸小于50 μm的晶粒占比由6.3%提升至15.6%,平均硬度由68.1 HV0.2提升至81.6 HV0.2,提升率达19.8%,纵向抗拉强度由249 MPa提高到262 MPa,横向抗拉强度由264 MPa提高到278 MPa,屈服强度和断后伸长率均有所增加.超声冲击工艺强化作用能够降低沉积层内气孔球形度,有效诱使沉积层内气孔的闭合和消失,促进沉积层粗大柱状晶向细小等轴晶的转变,实现CMT-WAAM Al-5%Mg合金微观组织的优化和力学性能的提升.

     

    Abstract: This study used the layer-by-layer UIT process to reinforce the Al-5%Mg alloy thin-walled parts through CMT-WAAM. The effects of different ultrasonic impact currents on macroscopic forming, pore evolution, solidification microstructure, and mechanical properties of single-channel and multi-layer thin-walled parts during CMT-WAAM were studied and compared. The results show that the severe plastic deformation caused by UIT can have a positive effect on the formation of the deposition layer, microstructure, and mechanical properties. Compared with samples without UIT, the deposition specimens under ultrasonic impact current of 3 A have better macroscopic forming, with a reduced pore defect rate from 0.742% to 0.496%, a decreased average grain size of the deposition layer from 186 to 147 μm, an increased proportion of grains with sizes smaller than 50 μm from 6.3% to 15.6%, and an increased average hardness from 68.1 to 81.6 HV0.2, indicating an improvement rate of 19.8%. Moreover, they have an increased longitudinal tensile strength from 249 to 262 MPa, an increased transverse tensile strength from 264 to 278 MPa, as well as increased yield strength and elongation after fracture. The strengthening effect of UIT can reduce the sphericity of the pores in the deposition layer, effectively inducing closure and disappearance of pores in the deposition layer, promoting the transformation of the coarse columnar crystals in the deposition layer to fine equiaxed crystals, and realizing the optimization of microstructure and the improvement of mechanical properties of Al-5%Mg alloy by CMT-WAAM.
