固溶热处理对SLM成形GH4169合金组织和性能的影响

Effect of Solution Heat Treatment on Microstructure and Properties of GH4169 Alloy Formed by SLM

  • 摘要: 本研究旨在系统探究不同固溶热处理温度对激光选区熔化(SLM)成形GH4169合金显微组织和力学性能的影响规律,以期优化其热处理工艺。对经过均匀化处理后的SLM成形GH4169合金试样,分别进行了T1℃、T2℃、T3℃、T4℃(T1<T2<T3<T4)的固溶处理,并随后进行标准时效处理。观察了不同状态下的组织,检测了其宏观硬度,并重点分析了固溶温度最低(T1℃)和最高(T4℃)试样的横向与纵向室温拉伸性能。显微组织结果显示,随着固溶温度的升高,合金中δ相的数量显著减少,并由连续的分布逐渐转变为非连续点状分布。硬度检测结果显示,不同固溶温度处理后的试样硬度值波动较小(HRC44.5-HRC46.7),未呈现明显变化规律。力学性能结果表明,较高的固溶温度(T4℃)虽导致强度略有下降,但显著提升了合金横、纵向的塑性。固溶热处理温度是调控SLM成形GH4169合金显微组织,尤其是δ相特征的关键参数。通过较高的固溶温度(T4℃),可以有效溶解过多的连续δ相,从而在保持较高强度的同时,大幅改善合金的塑性和韧性,这对于优化SLM成形GH4169合金的综合力学性能具有重要指导意义。

     

    Abstract: This study aims to systematically investigate the influence of different solution heat treatment temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical properties of GH4169 alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM), in order to optimize its heat treatment process. After homogenization, SLM-formed GH4169 alloy specimens were subjected to solution treatments at T1°C, T2°C, T3°C, and T4°C (where T1 < T2 < T3 < T4), followed by standard aging treatment. The microstructures under different conditions were observed, macro-hardness was measured, and the transverse and longitudinal room-temperature tensile properties of the specimens treated at the lowest (T1°C) and highest (T4°C) solution temperatures were analyzed in detail. Microstructural results revealed that with increasing solution temperature, the amount of δ-phase in the alloy decreased significantly, transitioning from a continuous distribution to a discontinuous, dot-like morphology. Hardness measurements indicated minor fluctuations in hardness values (HRC 44.5–HRC 46.7) across specimens treated at different solution temperatures, without a clear observable trend. Mechanical property results showed that while a higher solution temperature (T4°C) led to a slight reduction in strength, it significantly improved the plasticity of the alloy in both transverse and longitudinal directions. Solution heat treatment temperature is a critical parameter for controlling the microstructure of SLM-formed GH4169 alloy, particularly the characteristics of the δ-phase. By employing a higher solution temperature (T4°C), excessive continuous δ-phase can be effectively dissolved, thereby substantially enhancing the plasticity and toughness of the alloy while maintaining relatively high strength. This finding provides important guidance for optimizing the overall mechanical properties of SLM-formed GH4169 alloy.
