摘要

This study demonstrates an integrated approach to manufacturing high-performance 3 vol.% Al2O3/FeNi composites by combining gas-solid atomized composite powders with selective laser melting (SLM). An L16 Taguchi orthogonal array was employed to optimize the laser power (P, 190–250 W), scanning speed (V, 600–750 mm/s), and hatch spacing (H, 90–105 μm) for maximizing relative density (RD). The optimal parameter set (P = 250 W, V = 650 mm/s, H = 100 μm) yielded a near-full densification of 99.31 ± 0.06%. Microstructural analysis revealed a homogeneous dispersion of Al2O3 particles within the FeNi matrix, which exhibited a hybrid structure of epitaxial columnar, equiaxed, and sub-equiaxed crystals. XRD confirmed that the matrix was primarily composed of the γ (Fe, Ni) phase. The optimally processed sample achieved a peak hardness of 222.38 ± 2.00 HV0.1, a low coefficient of friction (COF) of 0.45 ± 0.012, and a wear rate of 8.45 × 10−5 ± 0.21 mm3N−1 m−1. These tribological properties represent a significant improvement, corresponding to reductions in the COF and wear rate of 31.82 ± 3.2% and 36.56 ± 2.4%, respectively, compared to samples fabricated under non-optimal SLM parameters.
