研究目的
Investigating the surface morphology, microstructure evolution, and wear property of selective laser melting Al2O3/P20 composites.
研究成果
The research successfully fabricated Al2O3/P20 composites via SLM, revealing that Al2O3 particles melt and agglomerate during the process. Microstructure evolution and mechanical properties were significantly influenced by Al2O3 content, with 1 wt% showing the best hardness and wear resistance. The study provides insights into the potential of SLM for manufacturing high-performance metal matrix composites for mold industry applications.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the technical constraints related to the SLM process, such as the generation of defects due to poor wetting of the liquid molten pool with increasing Al2O3 content. Potential areas for optimization include improving the wetting performance and reducing defects to enhance densification and mechanical properties.
