Abstract 3D printing sand mold has been widely used in casting production. However, there exist some problems hindering its application for titanium alloy casting, such as the large amount of gas evolution, cannot withstand high temperature impact, easy to react with titanium alloy melt, etc. This work develops a high-temperature resistance SLS (selective laser sintering) sand mold process by introducing inorganic binder in two different ways, i.e., bi-binder SLS process and SLS infiltration process. After sintering at 1100 ℃, SLS sand mold or core possesses high tensile strength and can be used for titanium alloy casting. More >
