摘要: 基于颗粒增强镍基复合材料优异的结构/功能特性,在航空航天、核电军工和电子电工等领域有着广泛的应用前景。本文选用机械球磨混粉+激光选区熔化方法(SLM)制备了碳化钨(WC)颗粒增强IN718复合材料(WC/IN718),对复合材料内部异质界面连接机制、强化机制和断裂行为进行了分析。研究结果表明:随着WC颗粒含量的增加(0wt%~20wt%),试件成形良好,WC颗粒均匀分布在基体内部,异质界面处无缺陷产生,界面处产生了贫碳的W2C层和碳化物层,基体合金主要呈柱状晶生长。由于熔池内部能量密度分布不同,低温位置WC颗粒的断裂方式为先形成界面反应层后由热应力引起断裂,高温位置WC颗粒优先发生断裂,断裂成小尺寸颗粒,后与熔化的基体合金形成界面反应层,弥散分布在基体内部。随着WC颗粒含量的增加,复合材料的强度呈现升高的趋势,而断裂韧性降低,抗拉强度最高可达1280 MPa,强化机制主要为载荷传递强化,断裂机制为WC颗粒的脆性断裂和基体合金的韧性断裂。

Abstract: Based on the excellent structural/functional properties of particle-reinforced nickel-based composites, they have a wide application prospects in aerospace, nuclear power, military industry and electronics. The internal heterogeneous interface connection mechanism, reinforcement mechanism and fracture behavior of the tungsten carbide (WC) particle-reinforced IN718 composites (WC/IN718) prepared by using the mechanical ball grinding powder+selective laser melting (SLM) was analyzed. The results show that with the increase of WC particles content (0wt%-20wt%), the specimen is well-formed, WC particles are evenly distributed inside the matrix and no defects at the heterogeneous interface, carbon-poor W2C layer and carbide layer are produced at the interface, and the matrix alloy mainly grows at the form of columnar crystals. Due to the different energy density distribution within the melting pool, the fracture mode of WC particles at the low temperature position is that firstly the interface reaction layer form at the periphery of WC particle and then WC are fractured by thermal stress. However, WC particles at the high temperature position preferentially break into small particles in size, and then the interface reaction layer is formed with the molten matrix alloy, which is distributed within the matrix. As the content of WC particles increases, the strength of composites tends to increase, while the fracture toughness is reduced, and the tensile strength can be up to 1280 MPa. The reinforcement mechanism is mainly the load transfer effect, the fracture mechanism is the brittle fracture of WC particles and the toughness fracture of matrix alloy. -
