Problems solved by technology

Compared with single crystal nickel-based superalloys, there are more interface regions in polycrystalline GH4738 alloys, and metastable interface regions (especially grain boundaries) tend to precipitate larger-sized massive carbides during heat treatment. , the alloy in service is easy to initiate cracks here, thereby reducing the service performance of the alloy, especially the thermal fatigue performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a heat treatment process for improving the fatigue life of GH4738 alloy, which belongs to the technical field of high temperature alloy heat treatment. The process steps are as follows: the GH4738 alloy is subjected to solution treatment at 1000-1030°C, first slowly cooled and then air-cooled out of the furnace; then aged at 760-780°C, and air-cooled to room temperature after being out of the furnace. This heat treatment process optimizes the distribution of grain boundary carbides in the matrix, which increases the fatigue cycle of the alloy by more than 36% under fatigue test conditions, greatly improves the fatigue life of the GH4738 alloy, and further improves the service safety of alloy components. The technical advantage of this heat treatment process is obvious, and the market promotion prospect is broad.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature alloy heat treatment, more specifically, it relates to a heat treatment process for improving the fatigue life of GH4738 alloy. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the aviation industry, the development and research of superalloys are becoming more and more important. Superalloys (also known as heat-resistant alloys or superalloys) usually refer to metal materials that can still work normally according to the design requirements under high temperature conditions of 600-1200 °C. Anti-fatigue performance, fracture toughness, and strong oxidation resistance and thermal corrosion resistance and other comprehensive properties are widely used in the aviation field. [0003] The aero-engine is known as the "Flower of Industry", and it is one of the most technical and difficult parts in the aviation industry. In the development process of aero-engine as an aircraft ...
