Abstract:

Based on the metallurgical reaction of Al and NiO, an in-situ Al2O3 aluminum alloy powder core wire for cylindrical lattice wire arc additive manufacturing is designed, followed by its thermal analysis. The in-situ Al2O3 aluminum alloy powder core wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm is prepared, its process performance is studied, the size and morphology of the in-situ Al2O3 are analyzed, and the thermal conductivity and strength of the unit rod are tested. The powder core wire is used to form a double-layer pyramid lattice structure on a cylindrical surface with a diameter of 157 mm. The results show that the maximum reaction rate temperature of the metallurgical reaction of Al and NiO is 1 038.9 ℃, which can be carried out reliably under the conditions of wire arc additive manufacturing. The aluminum alloy powder core wire with 1.5% NiO has stable arc, uniform small particle transition, stable process, and spatter rate of less than 0.74% in wire arc additive manufacturing. The surface roughness of the unit rod formed by the powder core wire is less than 10.40 μm, and a large amount of close-packed hexagonal α-Al2O3 is generated in situ with the size between 50-300 nm, and the interface with the aluminum matrix is well bonded. The thermal conductivity of the unit rod is 103.68 W/(m·K), and the average tensile strength reaches 288 MPa. The diameter error of the formed cylindrical lattice unit rod is within ±0.1 mm, and the inclination error is within ±0.9°, which has high accuracy. In the heat insulation experiment, the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the lattice test piece is more than 400 ℃, which has good heat insulation performance. The compressive strength of the lattice test piece is about 65 MPa, and the compression performance is stable.
