High entropy alloy is a new material rising in recent ten years. It mainly refers to the alloy formed by five or more equal or approximately equal amounts of metals. The advantages of high strength, high hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and soft magnetism are all the reasons why high entropy alloy can be recognized by the market. Especially in extreme environments such as high temperature, high pressure and high speed, metal parts made of high entropy alloy can maintain good mechanical properties. In addition, the properties of high entropy alloys are excellent under harsh climate environment, corrosive solution and strong dynamic load. Therefore, high entropy alloy has a wide application space in marine engineering, nuclear industry, engine industry and hard tool industry. These space high entropy alloys should be widely used in marine engineering, nuclear industry, engine industry and hard tool industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a landmark technology that set off the fourth industrial revolution, the additive manufacturing industry of 3D printing has always been highly expected by the state. In order to regulate the production increasing manufacturing industry, the state plans to revise a series of relevant standards for guidance. High entropy alloy powder for additive manufacturing is an important raw material for additive manufacturing of high entropy alloy. At the same time, additive manufacturing technology can be used to develop and prepare high entropy alloy parts with small batch and complex shape. In addition, the high entropy alloy parts prepared by additive manufacturing technology have fine grains and uniform structure and composition, which can effectively solve the disadvantages of coarse crystal structure, internal porosity and component segregation of traditional high entropy alloy materials, greatly accelerate the speed and response time of new product development, and promote the wide application of high entropy alloy in various fields. Therefore, the national testing standard of high entropy alloy powder for additive manufacturing is also being formulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key performance test indexes and process performance parameters of high entropy alloy powder mainly include chemical composition, particle size, loose density, tap density, fluidity and so on. The additive manufacturing process needs to realize densification forming. Different additive manufacturing processes have different requirements for the particle size of the powder, and the performance indexes such as chemical composition, loose density, vibrated density and fluidity of the powder will not only affect the additive manufacturing process, but also affect the microstructure, mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy Surface quality, etc. Let me introduce these key test indicators in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
