Problems solved by technology

Moreover, due to the complex structure of the sand mold, the green sand mold formed by 3D printing has the characteristics of thin walls, multiple cavities, and special shapes. The current cast aluminum alloy series materials have poor fluidity, which makes it difficult to fill the mold in some areas during the pouring process, resulting in casting defects. ;The cooling speed of the sand mold is slow, the structure of the sand cast aluminum alloy is coarse, the dendrites are developed, and the sand mold resin content of 3D printing is high, which is easy to form pore defects, resulting in low mechanical properties
As a new rapid casting technology under development, there is currently no aluminum alloy material specially developed for it

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy materials, in particular to an aluminum alloy material for high-performance thin-walled 3D printing sand casting and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of modern industry, the scale of the casting market continues to expand, and the requirements for product complexity and manufacturing flexibility are getting higher and higher. Traditional casting can no longer meet the market's demand for fast delivery and high-complexity products. The 3D printing sand casting formed by the fusion of 3D printing and traditional resin sand casting has become one of the main development directions of casting. 3D printing sand casting can manufacture highly complex products and can be manufactured quickly, especially for the development and production of complex parts (such as automobile cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, etc.). Due to the needs of environmen...
