example 1

[0069] For the following samples 1 and 2, the Al7017 alloy type composite was composed of Al7017 pre-alloyed (d50=38 μm), Zr powder (d50=30 μm) and B 4 The powder of C powder (d50=13μm) or TiC nano powder (d50<40nm) is dry-blended. Al7017 has the following composition: 0.42 wt.-% Si, 0.5 wt.-% Fe, 0.11 wt.-% Cu, 0.27 wt.-% Mn, 2.8 wt.-% Mg, 4.7 wt.-% Zn and 0.23 wt.-% Zr.

[0070] For samples 3 and 4, in addition to Zr and TiC additives, a dry powder mixture of Al7017 pre-alloyed (d50 = 48 μm) was used with a composition of 0.44 wt.-% Si, 0.43 wt.-% Fe, <0.01 wt. -% Cu, 0.24 wt.-% Mn, 2.5 wt.-% Mg, 4.6 wt.-% Zn and 0.2 wt.-% Zr. In these samples, the respective additives were Zr powder (d50=30 μm) and TiC powder (d50=1.4 μm). All respective raw materials were obtained from commercial powder producers. The ingredients of the powder mix are provided in Table I below.

Abstract

The invention relates to a powder mixture for producing a three-dimensional object by means of additive manufacturing, wherein the powder mixture comprises a first material and a second material. In the respective powder mixtures, the first material comprises a mixture of an aluminum alloy or an elemental precursor thereof and is in powder form, and the second material comprises a metal powder of Zr and / or Hf. By adding a second material, three-dimensional objects having high ultimate tensile strength and yield strength may be prepared by additive manufacturing. The invention also relates to a process for producing a corresponding powder mixture and a three-dimensional object, to a correspondingly produced three-dimensional object and to a device for implementing the process for producing such an object, and to the use of a corresponding powder mixture for increasing one or more of the ultimate tensile strength and yield strength of a three-dimensional object based on an aluminum alloy.
