Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of diffusion bonding of dissimilar materials, and provides a diffusion bonding method for a throat section special-shaped surface multi-metal whole. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the comparison and display of the technical achievements in the diffusion bonding industry for more than ten years, there are two methods for the throat section special-shaped surface multi-metal connection at present, most of which are brazing connection, and the diffusion bonding method for the multi-metal whole is rare, and there are many problems in the connection.

[0003] The brazing connection of the throat section special-shaped surface multi-metal whole has the following disadvantages: the brazing filler metal is easy to form slag and overflow during the connection process, resulting in poor sealing of the connection part; the brazing filler metal is easy to form overflow during the connection process, resulting in changes in the cross-sectional size of the flow passage, an increase in the flow resistance, and a decrease in the heat exchange efficiency; no matter what brazing filler metal is used, the brazing connection temperature cannot reach the minimum liquidus temperature of the multi-metal welding base material, and the strength and sealing performance of the brazing part under high temperature and high pressure cannot meet the use requirements in the super-high temperature and high pressure working environment.

[0004] The diffusion bonding method for the throat section special-shaped surface multi-metal whole has the following disadvantages: the throat section shell and the throat support are made of the same material, and the flow passage throat pipe is made of another material. The throat section needs to be connected by the flow passage throat pipe and the throat support, the flow passage throat pipe and the shell, and the throat support and the shell, and the three parts are connected. Since the liquidus lines of the above connection base materials are different, the hot working parameters can only be designed according to the minimum liquidus line of the base material during the connection process, so that the connection strength of the high liquidus line metal is insufficient, the strength of the connection surface between the throat support and the shell is not enough under the alternating load working environment, the connection surface is loose, and the service life is sharply reduced; the isostatic pressing connection method: the flow passage throat pipe is constructed as two back-to-back horn shapes with a thin middle part extending to two end faces. For the connection of the special-shaped surface of such a flow passage throat pipe, the isostatic pressing connection is usually used, and the stress on the entire special-shaped surface is uniform, which will cause the collapse of the bottom part of the flow passage slot and result in changes in the geometric size of the flow passage cross section; the two-section head-to-head expansion core assembly connection method: the upper and lower expansion cores are extruded to the throat part during the high-temperature connection process, the pressure of the throat part is lost, the connection strength is insufficient, and the end face of the flow passage throat pipe and the end face of the shell are dislocated and torn due to the lateral force acting on the connection surface. SUMMARY

[0035] The diffusion bonding method of the throat section profiled surface multi-metal whole will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] The diffusion bonding method of the throat section profiled surface multi-metal whole,

[0037] The processing steps are as follows:

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, the shell 1 is a 06Cr19Ni10 forging, and the thickness (strength) is processed to meet the requirements of diffusion bonding, and the wall thickness is controlled to be 60-70 mm and a later processing allowance is reserved.

[0039] The throat support 2 is a 06Cr19Ni10 forging, which is rough machined and annealed (to eliminate internal stress) and then finely machined, and the outer circle, copper foil (TCr1-0.15) and the inner circle of the shell 1 are matched, wherein the copper foil is closely laid on the outer circle of the throat support 2 and is cold-welded to be reinforced, so that the throat support 2 with the attached copper foil is ensured to be installed into the inner hole of the shell 1, and the gap of the inner hole of the shell 1 is 0.1-0.15 mm.

[0040] The flow passage throat pipe 3 is a TCr1-0.15 forging, and the thickness (strength) is processed to meet the requirements of diffusion bonding, and the wall thickness is controlled to be 18-20 mm and a later processing allowance is reserved, and the width and depth of the flow passage groove are pre-reserved by 0.1-0.2 mm according to the heat processing compression amount.

[0041] The expansion sleeve 4 is made of high-temperature alloy 2520 stainless steel material, which is rough machined and annealed (to eliminate internal stress) and then finely machined, and the size head of one side is machined by 0.03-0.05 mm smaller than the inner hole line type of the flow passage throat pipe 3 to match and butt joint two parts, and the inner hole ensures the taper requirement of 1.7°-2.0° of the process, and ensures the roughness of Ra1.6-Ra3.2.

[0042] The tapered expansion core 5 is made of high-temperature alloy 2520 stainless steel material, and the taper is matched with the 1.7°-2.0° taper hole of the expansion sleeve 1, and the distance between the large head end surface of the expansion core and the large head end surface of the expansion sleeve is 48-50 mm (to ensure that the compression amount between the flow passage throat pipe and the throat support and the shell is 1.4-1.6 mm after heat processing is completed).

[0043] ⑥ The base 6 is made of 304 stainless steel and is processed in one go. Its upper countersunk platform matches the bottom copper platform of the flow channel throat (fitting clearance 0.5-1.5mm). The bottom surface of the copper platform of the flow channel throat is in close contact with the two platforms of the base support. The size of the small hole in the base support ensures that the small end of the expansion core has sufficient free play.

[0045] Step 1: As Figure 2 As shown, the connecting surfaces of the outer shell 1, throat support 2, and flow channel throat tube 3 all need to be surface treated (to remove oxide film and impurities) to ensure that their connecting surfaces are clean and free from contamination. The expansion sleeve 4, tapered expansion core 5, and base 6 are surface oxidized and coated with release agent (to ensure that they do not stick together in a high-temperature environment).

[0046] Step 2: As Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The throat support 2 is assembled with the positioning pin 8 and positioning hole 7 through a transition fit. Figure 5 The outer circumference of the flow channel throat is designed to ensure a tight fit, with a clearance of 0-0.05mm.

[0047] Step 3: After assembling the throat support 2, lay TCr1-0.15 copper foil on the outer circular surface (to remove oxide film and impurities, ensuring cleanliness and no contamination), and reinforce it with cold welding;

[0048] Step 4: After completing the above steps, assemble the whole assembly. Figure 3 Inner hole of the outer casing;

[0049] Step 5: As Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the expansion sleeve 4 is composed of fourteen petal-shaped parts. The fourteen petal-shaped parts of the expansion sleeve 4 are assembled into the inner hole of the flow channel throat 3 in the order of large and small heads, and are made flat and in place by fitter work.

[0050] Step 6: As Figure 7 As shown, the tapered expansion core 5 is assembled into the inner hole of the expansion sleeve 4 in the order of large and small ends and pre-pressed (to ensure that a pre-tightening force of 5-8T is applied between each connecting surface);

[0051] Step 7: As Figure 8 As shown, the base 6 is placed at the bottom of the throat section and is positioned by spot welding.

[0052] Step 8: Using a press to... Figure 7 The core expansion is pre-pressurized in increments of 1T according to the process requirements, up to a pre-pressurization of 28T. The pressure is determined based on the height of the core expansion end face. Figure 6 The end face of the expansion sleeve is 48-50mm, and the real-time pressure value is recorded.
