Influence of heat treatment technology on mechanical properties of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens

背景:近年来,增材制造(又称3D打印)逐渐成为制作可摘局部义齿钛合金支架的主流方式。热处理作为改善3D打印钛合金支架机械性能的重要方法而成为目前的关注热点。目的:总结目前应用于3D打印钛合金试件的主要热处理技术(包括退火处理、固溶时效处理、热等静压处理及其他热处理)以及这些热处理技术对3D打印钛合金试件机械性能、微观结构的影响,为改进可摘局部义齿钛合金支架的热处理技术提供理论依据。方法:采用计算机检索中国知网、PubMed和ScienceDirect数据库中有关3D打印钛合金热处理试件的文献资料,检索时限为2012-2023年,根据纳入和排除标准,最终选取61篇文献进行综述分析。结果与结论:①使用常规退火技术处理3D打印钛合金试件,使其在500-900℃下保持2-4 h,能有效增加3D打印钛合金试件的延伸率。②固溶时效处理相较于常规退火技术更复杂,固溶时效处理后的钛合金试件在屈服强度方面表现突出,并且有更好的耐腐蚀性;但固溶时效处理后的3D打印钛合金试件在延伸性方面没有优势。③热等静压处理可以减少3D打印钛合金试件的内部缺陷,可明显增加3D打印钛合金试件延伸率,并增加其疲劳寿命。④快速热处理可以明显提高3D打印钛合金试件的延伸率,并且速度更快,在延伸率提升和热处理效率方面,比以往常规的退火更具优势。⑤循环热处理对3D打印钛合金试件延伸率的提升超过了常规退火,循环热处理可明显改善3D打印钛合金试件的晶粒结构,但热处理时间过长,效率较低。

BACKGROUND:In recent years,additive manufacturing(also known as 3D printing)has gradually become the mainstream method for producing titanium alloy brackets for removable partial dentures.Heat treatment,as an important method to improve the mechanical properties of 3D printed titanium alloys,has become a current hot topic of attention.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the main heat treatment technologies currently applied to 3D printed titanium alloy specimens(including annealing,solution aging,hot isostatic pressing,and other heat treatments)and their effects on the mechanical properties and microstructure of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,providing a theoretical basis for improving the heat treatment technology of removable partial denture titanium alloy supports.METHODS:A computer search was conducted on research materials related to 3D printed titanium alloy heat treatment in databases such as CNKI,PubMed,and ScienceDirect.The search period was from 2012 to 2023.A total of 61 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Using conventional annealing techniques to treat 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,keeping them at 500-900°C for 2-4 hours,can effectively increase the elongation of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens.(2)Compared to conventional annealing techniques,solid solution aging treatment is more complex,and the titanium alloy specimens after solid solution aging treatment exhibit outstanding yield strength and better corrosion resistance.However,the 3D printed titanium alloy specimens after solid solution aging treatment have no advantage in terms of ductility.(3)Hot isostatic pressing treatment can reduce the internal defects of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,significantly increase the elongation of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,and increase their fatigue life.(4)Rapid heat treatment can significantly improve the elongation of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,and the speed is faster.In terms of elongation improvement and heat treatment efficiency,it has more advantages than conventional annealing in the past.(5)The improvement of elongation of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens by cyclic heat treatment exceeds that of conventional annealing.Cyclic heat treatment can significantly improve the grain structure of 3D printed titanium alloy specimens,but the heat treatment time is too long and the efficiency is low.
