Abstract:
CuCrZr alloy has the advantages of good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high hardness, crack resistance and high softening temperature. It is extensively used in important fields such as rail transit, aerospace, thermonuclear fusion and electronic information. Due to its high melting point, reflectivity, thermal conductivity, etc., it is more difficult to manufacture by selective laser melting (SLM). In this work, the effect of SLM process parameters on the characteristics of CuCrZr samples, such as relative density, hardness and tensile properties, has been investigated using orthogonal experiment method. The experimental results show that laser power is the main factor affecting the properties of the alloy. The tensile strength of the alloy increases with an increase in laser power; it first increases and then decreases with an increase in scanning speed. The optimal combination of process parameters in this paper is as follows: laser power is 240 W, scanning speed is 750 mm/s and scanning spacing is 0.07 mm. The relative density, ultimate tensile strength and hardness of the alloy fabricated by best SLM process parameters was 98.79%, 347 MPa, 133.9 HV, respectively.
