摘要
In this work, 2024 alloy powders with 1.5% (mass fraction) TiC nanoparticles were produced first. The special 2024(TiC) alloy powders were added into the widely used AlSi10Mg powders through mechanical mixing. Selective laser melting technique was used to fabricated the samples. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-fabricated samples and the samples after T6 heat treatment (solution treated at 520 ℃ for 2 h, aging at 190 ℃ for 10 h) were studied. The results show that the TiC nanoparticles could act as the heterogeneous nucleation site of Al grains, leading to the suppression of coarse columnar grains. As a result, the microstructure could be refined remarkably. Moreover, the strong 〈100〉//BD (Build direction) fiber texture is suppressed largely. After T6 heat treatment, the strength of AlSi10Mg alloy drops to 260 MPa, while the strength of 2024(TiC) modified alloy, i.e. AlSi10Mg-2024(TiC) alloy, maintains at a high level of around 400 MPa. This is because the addition of 2024 alloy will introduce Cu element, which promotes the formation of second-phase particles during subsequent aging treatment, and thus strengthening the aluminum matrix. Moreover, the precipitation of nanoscale Si particles may also help to strengthen the T6-treated AlSi10Mg-2024(TiC) alloy. © 2022, China Science Publishing & Media Ltd. All right reserved.
