METHOD FOR ELIMINATING CRACKS IN RENÉ 104 NICKEL-BASED SUPERALLOY PREPARED BY LASER ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

The present disclosure relates to the field of additive manufacturing and superalloys, particularly to a method for eliminating cracks in René 104 nickel-based superalloy prepared by laser additive manufacturing. For solving the problem that cracks are easily generated during laser additive manufacturing of René 104 nickel-based superalloy with high content of Al and Ti (Al+Ti>5 wt. %), generation of large-size cracks inside a fabricated part is suppressed by means of designing laser forming parameters and a partition scanning strategy; then stress relief annealing is performed to completely eliminate residual stress inside the fabricated part; and a spark plasma sintering process is performed to eliminate cracks inside the fabricated part and suppress the growth of grains during the sintering process.
