Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nickel-based superalloys for additive manufacturing, and specifically relates to nickel-based alloy cored wires, preparation methods, and methods for additive manufacturing nickel-based alloys. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, higher requirements are put forward for the thermal efficiency of aeroengines. By increasing the working temperature of the hot-end components of the engine, the thermal efficiency of the engine can be effectively improved. Therefore, improving the service temperature and high-temperature mechanical properties of superalloys has become the current research focus. Some studies have shown that for nickel-based superalloys, within a certain range, the content of γ'-Ni3(Al,Ti) precipitate phases is proportional to the high-temperature strength. When the content of γ' precipitate phases reaches 65%-70%, its high-temperature performance is the best. Since elements such as Al and Ti are the main elements for forming the γ' phase, adding Al elements and Ti elements to nickel-based superalloys can increase the proportion of the γ' phase, thereby improving the high-temperature strength of the alloy.

[0003] The strength of nickel-based alloys at high temperatures is generally determined by factors such as the size, quantity, and distribution characteristics of the γ' phase. However, the quantity of the γ' phase determines the hot working performance, and the more of it, the more difficult it is to forge and form. Therefore, for nickel-based alloys with a high Al+Ti (Al content ≥ 3.5%, Ti content ≥ 3.5%) content, traditional hot working methods are no longer suitable. With the rapid development of additive manufacturing technology, this technology has significant advantages in alloy development and forming, opening up opportunities for the design of new alloys. Therefore, for the additive manufacturing process, developing printable nickel-based alloy compositions with a high Al+Ti content has broad application prospects.

[0004] The existing patent CN111266578B discloses a method for suppressing cracks in the additive manufacturing of difficult-to-weld nickel-based alloys. The steps of the method are as follows: Select difficult-to-weld powder and weldable powder, dry them and use them as additive raw materials. Adopt the laser direct deposition technology and print in a cycle according to the alternate printing method of difficult-to-weld and weldable materials, that is, print 1 layer of weldable powder after printing 2-5 layers of difficult-to-weld powder until the printing of the additive model to be manufactured is completed. The method is simple and feasible, can suppress the formation of cracks in the additive manufacturing process in-situ, effectively solves the problem of rapid nucleation and growth of cracks in the additive manufacturing by conventional methods, saves the high cost required to eliminate cracks in the post-treatment period, and improves the plasticity and toughness while ensuring the strength of the obtained additive parts. At the same time, this method also has certain defects. 1) During the printing process of this method, each time the additive raw materials for printing are switched, it is necessary to stop the laser from emitting light, stop the movement of the laser processing head, and keep it for 5-10 s. After the powder delivery of the switched additive raw materials is stable, continue to perform printing. It can be seen that this method cannot achieve efficient, continuous, and large-scale printing components. 2) This method has a special deposition method of alternating printing of difficult-to-weld and weldable superalloys, resulting in poor control of the usage ratio of difficult-to-weld powder and weldable powder during the alternating printing process, resulting in large composition deviation and unstable performance of the printed parts.

[0005] CN114032421B discloses a nickel-based superalloy, a nickel-based superalloy powder material and a product for additive manufacturing, belonging to the technical field of nickel-based superalloys for additive manufacturing. The nickel-based superalloy includes the following elements in the following contents: by weight percentage, Cr: 21-25%, Co: 18-20.5%, Al: 0.8-1.7%, Ti: 1.5-4.3%, W: 1.3-2.2%, Ta: 0.6-1.5%, Nb: 0.6-1.8%, C: 0.25-0.6%, and the balance is Ni and unavoidable impurities. By controlling the types and contents of key alloying elements in the alloy composition, the invention not only enhances the high-temperature strength of the alloy product, but also can inhibit the generation of microcracks in the alloy product. After the nickel-based superalloy powder material of the invention is formed by laser powder bed melting, it can print out uniform and dense complex parts that meet the requirements of high-temperature and high-strength. There are also certain defects. The preparation cost of the alloy powder is high, and the deposition efficiency is low compared with the powder core wire, and the additive manufacturing of large structural parts cannot be realized. At the same time, the Al content of the invention is 0.8-1.7%, and the Ti content is 1.5-4.3%, which does not reach the composition range of high-Ti and Al nickel-based alloys. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems in the prior art, and develop a printable nickel-based superalloy with ultra-high temperature strength above 800 °C by using the additive manufacturing method, mainly by increasing the Ti and Al ratios and adding trace ceramic particles.

[0007] The metal cored wire of the present invention is made by mixing and adding pure nickel skin and elemental powders of various alloying elements. It has both the advantages of variable composition in the powder spreading and feeding method of additive manufacturing and the advantage of printing large components in the wire feeding method of additive manufacturing. Therefore, the method using the metal cored wire has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost, and the ability to print large components.

[0012] Preferably, the ceramic phase particles are preferably SiC particles.

[0013] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a preparation method for the above high-Ti, Al crack-free nickel-based superalloy cored wire, and the steps are as follows:

[0014] Weigh and prepare each powder according to the set composition.

[0015] Place the mixed powder in a high-energy ball milling tank and perform ball milling for 10-15 h. The mass ratio of the grinding balls to the mixed powder is 10:1 to achieve full homogenization and alloying of the mixed powder; place the mixed powder in a vacuum drying oven, keep it at 80-120 °C and dry for 10 h; roll the pure nickel strip into a U shape, then add the mixed powder into the U-shaped groove, adjust the set first-pass filling rate to 30-35%, and the filling rate is the ratio of the mass of the mixed powder in the unit length of the wire to the total mass of the unit length of the wire; through the first-pass drawing die hole with a diameter of 2.8 mm, close the U-shaped groove so that the powder is wrapped inside. The closing part adopts a butt joint method, and gradually draw and reduce the diameter through the drawing die hole until its diameter reaches 1.6 mm; between the last pass and the wire take-up reel, perform a decontamination treatment, and finally wind the obtained cored wire into a coil to obtain a high-Ti, Al and SiC ceramic phase composite strengthened nickel-based alloy cored wire for electron beam fused wire additive manufacturing.

[0016] The aperture diameters of the drawing die holes include 2.8 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.0 mm, 1.9 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.7 mm, and 1.6 mm, and the diameter is gradually reduced by drawing in successive passes from large to small.

[0017] The third object of the present invention is to provide a method for additive manufacturing of a nickel-based alloy using the above high-Ti, Al crack-free nickel-based superalloy. Using an electron beam as a heat source, the prepared nickel-based alloy cored wire is assembled onto a wire feeder and sent to the lower beam position of the electron beam through a wire feeding nozzle, and the wire feeding angle and the dry extension length are fixed;

[0018] Fix the additive manufacturing substrate on the workbench and close the hatch of the vacuum chamber;

[0019] Turn on the vacuum pump to evacuate. When the vacuum degree reaches 5×10 -2 Pa, hold it, set the electron beam additive manufacturing parameters, and print layer by layer according to the set deposition path to finally obtain the target nickel-based alloy additive component.

[0020] Preferably, the electron beam wire melting additive manufacturing process parameters are: the acceleration voltage is 10 - 30 KV, the electron beam current is 30 - 50 mA, the wire feeding speed is 500 - 900 mm / min, and the movement speed is 120 - 210 mm / min; after each layer of printing in the above solution, use the numerical control panel to move the workbench, raise the electron gun, return to the starting position, and lower it to an appropriate height. Wait until the substrate and the deposited specimen cool to below 50 °C before proceeding with the next deposition.

The proportion of the precipitated strengthening phase γ' phase reaches 55 - 70%, realizing the composite strengthening of γ' phase and ceramic particles, thereby obtaining a nickel-based superalloy with ultra-high temperature strength.

[0024] 2. Nickel-based superalloys with high (Ti + Al) content have extremely poor weldability and are prone to forming a liquid film at the large-angle grain boundary position during the additive manufacturing process, thus generating hot cracks. The present invention introduces a trace amount of ceramic phase, increasing the low-angle grain boundaries by 30 - 50%. The significantly increased grain boundaries enhance the cohesion of the grain boundaries and make the accumulated thermal stress uniform, effectively suppressing hot cracks.

It has the advantages of variable composition in the powder laying and feeding method of additive manufacturing and the ability to print large components in the wire feeding method of additive manufacturing. Therefore, the method using metal cored wire has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost, and the ability to print large components. Brief Description of the Drawings
