Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of materials engineering and computational mechanics, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for predicting creep deformation of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys under creep-oxidation interaction. Background Technology
[0002] Nickel-based single-crystal superalloys are widely used in hot-end components such as turbine blades in aero-engines due to their excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. Although nickel-based single-crystal superalloys are usually used in the state of thermal barrier coating, once the thermal barrier coating fails, the exposed nickel-based single-crystal superalloy will inevitably face creep and oxidation damage under long-term high-temperature service loads. The synergistic effect of these two factors will significantly accelerate the deterioration of the mechanical properties of turbine blades. Therefore, studying the creep-oxidation interaction in nickel-based single-crystal superalloys is crucial to ensuring the reliability and service life of turbine blades.
[0003] Current predictions of creep deformation behavior of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys under the influence of oxidation have the following shortcomings: existing creep deformation behavior predictions usually do not take into account the influence mechanism of oxidation, such as the distribution of microstructure in the near-surface region of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys with depth caused by oxidation and the evolution of this distribution over time; and the established models are lacking in physical interpretability, failing to reveal the influence of oxidation on creep from the perspective of creep deformation mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Step 2: During the creep oxidation process, the thickness of each layer of the multi-layered geometric model inside the sample changes with time. By statistically analyzing the thickness of each layer at different times, a corresponding growth kinetic model is established.

[0021] This invention, based on the microstructure distribution characteristics of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys after creep tests in vacuum and atmospheric environments, establishes a dynamic growth multilayer geometric model considering the influence of oxidation.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific implementation steps of this invention are as follows:
[0027] Step 1: Based on the microscopic observation results of creep tests in atmospheric and vacuum environments, a multi-layer geometric model considering the effects of oxidation is proposed.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, for atmospheric environment samples, the outer layer of the sample is exposed to air. Due to oxidation, an oxide layer forms on the outer surface of the sample. The multilayer geometric model includes a γ′ phase depletion layer, a γ′ phase reduction layer, and an intermediate region, which are sequentially formed adjacent to the oxide layer in the direction perpendicular to the external stress (sample thickness direction). For atmospheric environment samples, the multilayer geometric model is symmetrical about the intermediate surface (i.e., the symmetry plane, the contact surface between the two intermediate regions of the multilayer geometric model) in the sample thickness direction (hollow circular tube sample, both inner and outer surfaces are exposed to the atmosphere). For vacuum environment samples, since there is no oxidation, there is no oxide layer, γ′ phase depletion layer, or γ′ phase reduction layer. The entire sample can be considered as an intermediate region. Vacuum environment samples can be considered a special case of atmospheric environment samples (i.e., the thickness of all layers except the intermediate layer is 0).
[0029] Total thickness of atmospheric environmental sample It can be viewed as the sum of the thicknesses of different layers:
[0030] ;
[0031] In the formula, , , and The thicknesses are respectively the oxide layer, the γ′ phase depletion layer, the γ′ phase reduction layer, and the intermediate region.
[0032] Step 2: During the creep oxidation process, the thickness of each layer of the multi-layered geometric model inside the sample changes with time. By statistically analyzing the thickness of each layer at different times, a corresponding growth kinetic model is established.
[0033] Default total thickness constant, and Because the oxidation process is ongoing and changes occur, the data needs to be obtained by fitting the measured values. The transition region is defined as 50 μm. Then it can be derived from The definition of calculation.
[0034] Oxide layer thickness It is generally considered to be related to time Power law:
[0035] ;
[0036] The parabolic velocity constant It conforms to the Arrhenius equation:
[0037] ;
[0038] In the formula, For material constants, The activation energy for oxidation. Let be the ideal gas constant. For temperature.
[0039] Studies have shown that the thickness of the γ′ phase depletion layer increases logarithmically with time.
[0040] ;
[0041] In the formula, These are temperature-dependent material constants.
[0042] The experimental data points used for fitting were from different temperature and stress conditions. The results show that the growth law of oxide layer and γ′ phase depletion layer thickness is only related to temperature and not to stress. Experimental data points under the same temperature but different stresses can be described by the same fitting curve.
[0043] Step 3: Based on the statistical results of the microstructure evolution at different depths within the alloy during creep under different temperature loads in vacuum and atmospheric environments, a semi-phenomenological microstructure evolution model is established, and the microstructure geometric parameters (γ′ precipitate phase volume fraction and γ matrix phase channel width) are calculated as inputs to the creep constitutive model.
[0044] The oxide layer contains no γ / γ′ phase, and the γ′ phase-depleted layer contains only the γ phase. Therefore, the volume fraction of the γ′ phase and the width of the γ matrix phase channel in the γ′ phase-depleted layer are set to limit values (which do not represent any physical meaning) to remove their influence in the microstructure evolution model.
[0045] For the γ′ phase reduction layer and the intermediate region, the microstructure evolution behavior is related to both time and depth. For vacuum environment samples, the microstructure evolution behavior of the intermediate region can be considered similar to that of atmospheric environment samples. A semi-phenomenological microstructure evolution model is established by combining experimental patterns and physical mechanisms:
[0046] Volume fraction of γ′ precipitate phase in vacuum and atmospheric environment samples Represented as:
[0047]
[0048]
[0049] In the formula, and It is a material constant. With temperature, depth All are related. It is only related to temperature. It is the initial γ′ phase volume fraction; , , It is a temperature-dependent material constant, in the parameter In the power function fitting equation, As a scale factor, The power exponent, This is a constant term.
[0050] The width of the γ matrix phase channel in the vacuum environment sample is expressed as:
[0051] ;
[0052] In the formula, and Each represents a certain variable At any moment and The possible values of , where, Substitute , , , , General parameters. Variables The width of the γ-matrix phase channel perpendicular to the external loading direction during the rafting process (taking N-type rafting as an example); variable and These are before and after rafting begins. The corresponding value. Variable The length of the periodic cell model is defined as... When a certain value is taken, the width of the γ matrix phase channel ( =1, 2, 3) and the length of the γ′ precipitate phase ( =1, 2, 3). and Here are temperature-dependent material constants, where This is the scale factor in the power function expression. It is a power exponent. It is the internal equivalent stress in the γ phase matrix channel parallel to the (001) crystal plane, which can be obtained by the internal stress analysis method of the cell model.
[0053] The above model parameters , , , , , It is necessary to combine microscopic observation results for fitting. The γ matrix phase channel width of the atmospheric environment sample can be directly derived from the γ′ precipitate phase volume fraction of the atmospheric environment sample and the γ matrix phase channel width of the vacuum environment sample, and can be compared with the experimental observation results as a means of verifying the effectiveness of the model.
[0054] Step 4, based on the γ′ precipitate volume fraction at different depths obtained in Step 3 With γ matrix phase channel width By combining crystal plasticity theory and comprehensively considering various dislocation strengthening mechanisms in the γ / γ′ two-phase structure, a multi-scale creep deformation prediction framework considering the microstructure evolution is constructed.
[0055] Oxide layers are typically considered to lack creep bearing capacity and cannot withstand loads; therefore, their influence is ignored in predictions of creep deformation behavior. Furthermore, the differences between the γ′ phase depletion layer, the γ′ phase reduction layer, and the intermediate region mainly lie in the different γ′ phase volume fractions. To describe the creep deformation behavior of these three types of regions, a creep constitutive model reflecting the microstructure evolution is established. The shear strain on the slip system... for:
[0056] ;
[0057] ;
[0058] ;
[0059] ;
[0060] in, For shear stress, For isotropic hardening stress, and The material constants for the flow law, This is creep damage. External stress, For slip system Orientation factor.
[0061] The resistive stress that hinders dislocation movement, including dislocation hardening stress. Orovan dislocation stress and dislocation-induced shear precipitation response forces . The relative ratio of dislocation bypass to dislocation pair shear is related to stress.
[0062] This represents the creep damage growth rate, and its variation follows a creep damage evolution model. and These are the parameters of the creep damage evolution model.
[0063] Dislocation hardening stress It can be represented as:
[0064] ;
[0065] ;
[0066] In the formula, For dislocation interaction coefficients; and For slip system Dislocation density and cumulative shear strain on the surface (where the dot above the figure indicates the first derivative). These are material parameters used to define the relationship between dislocation hardening stress and dislocation density. It is a material constant characterizing the rate of dislocation density accumulation.
[0067] Orovan dislocation over-stress The calculation method is related to the slip system, and... , , and Taking a slip system as an example, it can be represented as:
[0068] ;
[0069] In the formula, For material constants, Shear modulus For the Bergman vector, , and These represent the matrix channel volumes within the single-crystal alloy that are parallel to the three crystal planes (100), (010), and (001). for , and The sum of; ( , , The material constant that describes the strain inhomogeneity in the corresponding region is related to the rafting state.
[0070] Based on the relative size of the dislocation pair spacing and the precipitate phase, dislocation pairs in shear-precipitated phases can be classified into two categories: weakly coupled dislocation pairs and strongly coupled dislocation pairs. If the diameter of the precipitate phase is smaller than the dislocation pair spacing, it is a weakly coupled dislocation pair; otherwise, it is a strongly coupled dislocation pair. In the multilayer geometric model, for the intermediate region and the γ′ phase reduction layer, the diameter of the γ′ phase is much larger than the dislocation pair spacing, therefore it is a strongly coupled dislocation pair, and the shear stress of the precipitate phase is high. It can be represented as:
[0071] ;
[0072] In the formula, For the antiphase domain boundary energy, For material constants, The equivalent diameter of the γ′ phase.
[0073] In the γ′ phase depletion layer, the γ′ phase is absent, therefore it consists of weakly coupled dislocation pairs, and the precipitated phase shear stress is low. It can be represented as:
[0074] .
[0075] Step 5: Based on the multi-layer geometric model established in Step 1 and the growth kinetic model established in Step 2 (the two combined form a dynamic growth multi-layer geometric model), and combined with the multi-scale creep deformation prediction framework considering microstructure evolution constructed in Step 4, the parameters of the growth kinetic model in Step 2, the semi-phenomenological microstructure evolution model in Step 3, and the creep constitutive model in Step 4 are fitted and calibrated using creep test data in atmospheric and vacuum environments. The creep process is then simulated and calculated on the ABAQUS (commercial finite element software) platform.
[0076] For the parameters of dynamically growing multi-layered geometric models and multi-scale creep deformation prediction frameworks, most can be obtained by fitting creep deformation data under vacuum conditions. The parameters of creep damage evolution models can be obtained from creep life data (creep test data includes creep life data). Some parameters, such as... , and This information needs to be obtained from literature, but it is important to note that the material parameters of the creep constitutive model flow rule for the γ′ phase depleted layer are crucial. and Correction is required using creep test data under atmospheric conditions. A dynamically growing multi-layered geometric model and a multi-scale creep deformation prediction framework are integrated into ABAQUS software via a user-defined UMAT (Material Subroutine). Finite element simulations of the creep process are performed in ABAQUS. Considering computational cost and specimen symmetry, a quarter-finite element model of the creep-induced hollow cylindrical specimen is established, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Symmetrical boundary conditions were applied to the side and bottom surfaces of the quarter-finite element model of the creep hollow cylindrical tube specimen, and a tensile load was applied to the top surface. To account for the evolution of the oxide layer and the γ′ phase depletion layer, the mesh near the surface of the quarter-finite element model of the creep hollow cylindrical tube specimen was refined, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, creep deformation behavior simulation was carried out accordingly.
