Abstract

The invention discloses a grain-refined metal powder for 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. In the method, the refiner is pickled with hydrochloric acid to remove impurities and oil stains on the surface of the refiner and improve its surface activity. , improve its compatibility with the matrix powder, make it evenly mixed with the matrix powder, so that the final mixed powder itself has fine grains; improve the mechanical properties of the printed parts, and improve the mechanical properties of metal parts from the source performance.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the field of powder for 3D printing, and in particular relates to a metal powder for 3D printing with fine grains and a preparation method thereof. 【Background technique】 [0002] Compared with conventional casting, metal material additive manufacturing (3D printing) can realize the molding of complex structures, and compared with metal parts formed under conventional casting conditions, metal 3D printing parts will obtain finer equiaxed crystals after solidification. , and the mechanical properties of fine equiaxed crystals are better than those of coarse columnar crystals. Therefore, refining the grain size and controlling the grain size are very important to improve the mechanical properties of metal materials. By adding a grain refiner to the metal matrix, the grains can be refined and the mechanical properties of the material can be improved. However, 3D printing generally uses filaments and powders, especially powders,...
