Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of metal materials, and in particular relates to a low thermal crack sensitivity multi-element nickel alloy composite welding wire and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Nickel, a primary element in current high-temperature alloys, is one of the few alloying elements that enhances alloy strength without significantly diminishing its plasticity. It exhibits excellent resistance to high temperatures, oxidation, and corrosion. However, due to their high viscosity, poor fluidity, and weldability, nickel-based alloys are highly susceptible to hot cracking during welding. Hot cracking occurs at high temperatures and does not extend at room temperature. This is primarily due to the incorporation of sulfur, lead, phosphorus, or other low-melting-point metals, which form intergranular films that cause severe embrittlement at high temperatures. In particular, sulfur and phosphorus eutectics have melting points significantly lower than nickel-iron, and liquid films of these low-melting-point eutectics remain at grain boundaries during weld crystallization. Furthermore, the high heat input from welding causes overheating of the weld joint, resulting in coarse grains. These low-melting-point eutectics are concentrated at the coarse columnar grain boundaries. These eutectics, located at grain boundaries, have low strength and are highly brittle, making them susceptible to hot cracking under the high residual stresses of welding. Another defect that must be avoided during welding is porosity. Nickel alloy molten pools are thick and have poor fluidity, making them prone to porosity during rapid cooling. Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide are extremely soluble in molten nickel-based alloys, but their solubility is greatly reduced in the solid state. As nickel-based alloy welding cools from high temperature, the solubility of these gases in the deposited metal also decreases. The released gases cannot completely escape from the poorly fluid liquid nickel before the weld solidifies, forming pores, often near the fusion line. Current nickel-based alloys have poor weldability and are unable to effectively address the aforementioned hot cracking issue. Consequently, the requirements for welding materials are extremely high, manufacturing is extremely difficult, and the industry has long been monopolized by European and American countries, making the solution to the hot cracking issue urgent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0016] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following examples. However, it should be understood that the following examples are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0017] The purpose of the present invention is to develop a multi-element nickel alloy composite welding wire with low thermal crack sensitivity, so as to solve the problem that cracks are easily generated during the welding process of existing nickel alloy welding wires. The idea of implementation is: with Ni as the main component, the addition of high-temperature resistant elements such as Cr, Mo, and Co is added through formula design to achieve solid solution strengthening, improve oxidation resistance and thermal corrosion resistance; add appropriate amounts of Mn, Si and other elements to improve grain boundary purity and reduce thermal brittleness; at the same time, add precipitation strengthening elements Al, Ti, Ta, RE and the like to improve high-temperature strength and purify grain boundaries; finally, carry out titanium carbide coating process in the alloy wire, comprehensively improve mechanical properties and reduce thermal crack defects. In addition, due to the problem of bonding strength between titanium carbide coating and alloy wire electroplating, graphene oxide is introduced into the titanium carbide coating to carry out coordination reaction between graphene and metal, improve interlayer bonding strength, and at the same time further improve weld mechanical properties and reduce thermal crack sensitivity. The embodiments of the present invention are as follows: An embodiment of the present invention provides a low hot crack sensitivity multi-element nickel alloy composite welding wire, comprising a welding wire and a coating, wherein the welding wire comprises the following powder raw materials in parts by weight: C: 0.01-0.05%, Si: 0.10-0.20%, Cr: 28.5-30.5%, Fe: 7.0-11.0%, Mn: ≤1.0%, Co: 1.0-2.0%, Mo: 4.0-5.0%, B: 0.001-0.005%, Al + Ti: 0.1-0.2%, Zr: 0.005-0.020%, Nb: 1.0-2.0%, Ta: 0.1-0.4%, Sn: 0.5-1.0%, RE: 0.20-0.30%, S: <0.005%, P: <0.005%, Ni balance; and The coating is titanium carbide layer and nickel layer from inside to outside.
[0018] The total amount of the above Cr and Mo is not less than 33.5%.
[0019] Cr is the primary element that ensures the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the alloy of the present invention and is the most important element for stabilizing the alloy surface. It forms a dense, oxidation- and corrosion-resistant Cr2O3 protective layer on the surface of the base material. Generally, a Cr content exceeding 12% provides excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance. Above 33%, the increased Cr content has little effect on improving high-temperature oxidation resistance and can lead to the precipitation of an α-Cr phase, which is detrimental to mechanical properties. Therefore, the present invention controls the Cr content to between 28.5% and 30.5%.
[0020] Mo increases high-temperature strength and improves the alloy's corrosion resistance, particularly when combined with chromium, resulting in superior pitting corrosion resistance. Mo also enhances the alloy's creep resistance through solid solution strengthening. The addition of Mo significantly improves the welding wire's corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength. Therefore, the present invention limits the Mo content to 4.0-5.0%.
[0021] At the same time, considering the compounding effect of Cr and Mo, the total amount shall not be less than 33.5%.
[0022] The weight ratio of Al to Ti is (2.0-4.0):1.
[0023] Al and Ti can improve the alloy's weldability, acting as deoxidizing elements, facilitating weld formation and strengthening the alloy to a certain extent. Furthermore, Al generates Al2O3 during the alloy's high-temperature oxidation process, an oxide structure that improves the alloy's high-temperature oxidation resistance. However, excessive Al and Ti contents can affect hot workability and weldability, and the resulting oxides can easily cause weld slag inclusions, reducing resistance to hot cracking. Excessive Al+Ti content can lead to the precipitation of secondary phases such as γ and γ', reducing the enhanced high-temperature durability and inducing the precipitation of the harmful σ phase. Furthermore, considering the presence of titanium carbide coating in the coating, the Al+Ti content is controlled within a range of 0.1-0.2% Al+Ti, with a weight ratio of Al to Ti of (2.0-4.0):1.
[0024] The weight ratio of Mn to Si is (5.0-7.0):1.
[0025] The Mn content significantly affects the low-temperature impact toughness of the deposited metal. It also fixes sulfur to form MnS, reducing grain boundary embrittlement. However, excessive Mn content can lead to weak crystallization cracks and high-temperature decompression cracking. Therefore, the present invention limits the Mn content to ≤1.0%.
[0026] As a deoxidizer, Si can improve weld purity, reduce defects, increase weld strength, and reduce the tendency of solidification cracking. However, excessive Si content can cause weld metal to become brittle, reducing plasticity and toughness. Therefore, the present invention controls the Si content to 0.1-0.2%.
[0027] At the same time, considering that Mn and Si have a certain synergistic effect, the weight ratio of Mn to Si is (5.0-7.0):1 for compound use.
[0028] The above RE is one or more of Y, Ce, Sm, Gd, and Nd.
[0029] Rare earth elements (RE) are key functional elements that improve high-temperature oxidation resistance. Adding Cr to nickel alloys improves heat and corrosion resistance. However, at high temperatures, the Cr2O3 formed on the surface easily volatilizes, resulting in reduced oxidation resistance. Adding RE elements forms a new phase, which is beneficial to the formation of the alloy's selective oxidation film, Cr2O3, improving the adhesion between the oxide film and the substrate, inhibiting the volatilization of Cr2O3, reducing the oxidation rate, and improving the alloy's high-temperature oxidation resistance. At the same time, rare earth elements (RE) are strong deoxidizers in the secondary metallurgical process of welding, which can improve crack resistance and improve the welding processability of the wire. Therefore, the RE content is controlled at 0.20-0.30%.
[0030] The weight percentage of titanium carbide in the composite welding wire is 0.1-1.0%.
[0031] First, titanium carbide particles refine the grains and inhibit the generation of solidification cracks; second, the coating surface is highly uniform, reducing oxide inclusions during welding, and in combination with shielding gas, significantly reducing porosity and defects; third, the deposited metal forms a "soft matrix + hard particles" composite structure, which improves the impact resistance of the weld; fourth, the titanium carbide structure can disperse welding residual stress, reduce fatigue crack initiation, and reduce thermal cracking sensitivity. Fifth, the titanium carbide in the coating can play its role in refining grains and pinning grain boundaries by directly and evenly introducing titanium carbide particles into the weld, without increasing the element content of C and Ti, and can also significantly reduce DDC crack sensitivity, and at a lower cost.
[0032] On the other hand, the titanium carbide coating in the present invention contains a graphene oxide structure, which can act as an interlayer binder during the electroplating process to improve the bonding strength between the coatings; during the welding process, it also has the function of improving mechanical properties through grain refinement, pinning grain boundaries, and stress transfer mechanisms, further reducing thermal crack sensitivity. Therefore, the present invention considers that the overall amount of titanium carbide in the composite welding wire is controlled to 0.1-1.0wt%.
[0033] In addition, other important components and functions in the embodiments of the present invention are as follows: The addition of Co achieves solid solution strengthening, improves thermal stability, reduces crack sensitivity, and can inhibit grain boundary sliding, especially in high temperature environments. Therefore, the present invention controls the Co content to 1.0-2.0%.
[0034] Fe is a matrix element of NiCrFe alloy and can improve weld strength through solid solution strengthening. Therefore, the Fe content is controlled within a range of 7.0-11.0% in the present invention.
[0035] Nb is a strengthening element in high-temperature environments. It increases solid solution lattice distortion and lattice atomic bond attraction, strengthening the matrix and achieving significant solid solution strengthening effects. It is also a strong carbide former, forming MC, M6C, or M2C carbides, significantly strengthening the weld metal as a second phase. Furthermore, it can reduce alloying element segregation and improve weld metal plasticity. However, the Nb content must be controlled to prevent Laves phase precipitation. Therefore, the present invention limits the Nb content to 1.0-2.0%.
[0036] Adding trace amounts of Zr and B elements strengthens the grain boundaries and improves the long-term strength of the weld deposited metal, and trace additions will not increase the sensitivity of welding hot cracks.
[0037] Low-melting-point Sn can fill grain boundary microcracks and improve healing ability, but excessive Sn should be avoided to prevent brittleness. Therefore, the present invention controls the Sn content to 0.5-1.0%.
