Abstract

The invention relates to a low-melting-point metal wire for 3D printing. The low-melting-point metal wire is prepared from raw materials comprising the following contents of, by weight, 20-45% of Bi,25-40% of Sn, and the balance In complemented to 100%. The melting point of the metal wire is 75-100 DEG C, by adjusting the relative content of Bi, Sn and In, the hardness and the tensile strength ofthe metal wire can be effectively improved, the demands of circuit printing, three-dimensional metal structural part printing and functional structural part printing combined with plastic can be met,and the low-melting-point metal wire has wide application prospects and high commercial promotion value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of 3D printing of metal raw materials, in particular to a low-melting-point metal wire for 3D printing. Background technique [0002] 3D printing is a technology that uses bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files. It works basically the same as ordinary printing. The printer is equipped with "printing materials" such as wires or liquids or powders. Blueprints become real. At present, it is widely used in mold manufacturing, industrial design, automotive electronics, aerospace and other fields. [0003] The current 3D printing of metal materials generally adopts the method of laser rapid prototyping, that is, irradiating the surface of the test piece with a high-power laser, melting the metal powder, forming a liquid molten pool, and then moving the laser beam to melt the powder in front and let the metal in the back co...
