Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of dissimilar metal material welding, and particularly relates to a low-temperature and high-efficiency diffusion welding connection method for TiAl-Ti2AlNb dissimilar materials. Technical Background
[0002] Titanium aluminide intermetallic compounds are emerging lightweight high-temperature structural materials in the aerospace field, with low density, high elastic modulus and high specific strength at high temperature, and excellent flame retardancy, oxidation resistance and creep resistance at high temperature. Among titanium aluminide intermetallic compounds, TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy are the two most representative materials, each with unique properties. TiAl alloy has attracted much attention for its low density (3.7~3.9 g / cm 3 ) and high specific strength at high temperature, and its working temperature can reach 760°C to 850°C, but its room temperature plasticity and workability are poor; although the density of Ti2AlNb alloy (5.0~5.8 g / cm 3 ) is higher than that of TiAl alloy and its working temperature is between 650°C and 750°C, its plasticity is significantly improved compared with TiAl, and the elongation rate can reach up to 13% at most. Connecting TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy by welding technology can make full use of the advantages of the two materials to replace traditional nickel-based superalloys to manufacture some key components in aeroengines, effectively reducing the weight of the components. For example, using TiAl alloy to manufacture low-pressure turbine blades with higher service temperature and smaller size, and Ti2AlNb alloy to manufacture low-pressure turbine disks with slightly lower service temperature and larger size. However, due to problems such as post-weld cold cracks and difficulty in deformation at high temperature in the dissimilar metal connection of TiAl and Ti2AlNb alloys, there are great difficulties in welding by conventional methods such as fusion welding and friction welding. Solving their welding problems is the key to promoting the application of TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy.
[0003] At present, the solid-state diffusion welding technology is a popular method for joining TiAl and Ti2AlNb alloys. Due to the characteristics of small deformation and similar joint microstructure to the base metal, high-strength joints can be obtained. Therefore, the diffusion welding connection technology of TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy has attracted the research of scholars at home and abroad. The literature "Difiusion Bonding of DissimilarIntermetallic Alloys Based on Ti2AlNb and TiAl, Jianying Zou, Yuyou Cui, RuiYang.: Journal of Marine Science and Technology, 2009, 25(06):P. 819-824." used diffusion welding to join TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy, and obtained the highest shear strength of 259.8 MPa at the welding parameters of 1000°C / 20MPa / 60min. The research shows that the welding temperature needs to be maintained above 1000°C. When the temperature is lower than 1000°C, the weld microstructure will form brittle AlNb2 tissue; the welding time must reach 60min, but too long welding time will also form a B2-rich zone on the Ti2AlNb alloy side, and the AlNb2 tissue and the B2-rich zone will reduce the joint strength. The literature "Microstructureevolution and mechanical properties of diffusion bonding high Nb containingTiAl alloy to Ti2AlNb alloy, Zhu Lei, Li Jinshan, Tang Bin, Liu Yan, ZhangMengqi, Li Lei, Kou Hongchao.: Vacuum, 2019, 164: P.140-148" also obtained similar results, and the joint strength was the highest at the welding parameters of 1000 °C / 20 MPa / 90 min. On this basis, in order to reduce the formation of brittle phases at the diffusion interface, some researchers further added an interlayer during the welding process. The Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials, AECC, proposed a diffusion welding method with a Ti-Nb alloy as the interlayer in the invention with the publication number of "CN114131295A". This interlayer can control the formation of brittle tissue in the connection joint, reduce the residue of the alloy interlayer, reduce the brittleness tendency of the joint, and obtain a weld microstructure similar to the base metal; at the same time, it can reduce the diffusion welding connection temperature to a certain extent. The welding implementation process is: temperature 960°C, welding pressure 5-25MPa, welding time 0.5-1h.However, in the above diffusion welding technology, whether it is the direct connection of TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy or the method of applying an interlayer, the welding time required is relatively long and the temperature is high, resulting in low production efficiency and increased cost of the welded parts. In addition, since the welding temperature exceeds the safe working temperature of the two base materials and is exposed to high temperature conditions for a long time, it has a non-negligible damage to the mechanical properties of the base materials themselves, which is not conducive to obtaining high-temperature resistant components that meet the requirements of aero-engines in terms of mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, based on the need to shorten the welding time and reduce the welding temperature for the diffusion welding of TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy, the present invention provides a method for pulsed high-current diffusion welding. A square-wave pulsed current is passed during the welding process of the welded parts to promote the welding of the welded parts. The pulsed current in this welding method can accelerate the diffusion of elements, thereby achieving the purpose of low-temperature and rapid welding. In addition, the welding heat source comes from the Joule heat of the welded parts themselves, and the highest temperature zone is at the connection interface. Therefore, this method also has the characteristic of non-isothermal temperature, which can reduce the high-temperature damage to the base materials during the welding process and achieve high-efficiency and high-quality connection of the welded parts.
[0005] To prepare a welded joint of TiAl-Ti2AlNb high-strength dissimilar materials. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a low-temperature and high-efficiency diffusion welding connection method for TiAl-Ti2AlNb dissimilar metals.
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] (1) Surface treatment of the welding surfaces of TiAl and Ti2AlNb specimens. The surfaces of the specimens are polished successively with 360#, 600#, 1200#, and 2000# SiC water sandpapers. After removing the oxide layer and significant scratches on the specimen surfaces, mechanical polishing is carried out with 1.5# diamond grinding paste until the surfaces to be welded present a mirror surface, and then ultrasonic cleaning is carried out with acetone and absolute ethanol for 5 - 10 min successively. Store them in absolute ethanol for standby before welding.
[0008] (2) Assembly of the welded parts. The polished surfaces of the workpieces to be welded are fitted together and placed into an assembly mold. The assembly mold is made of high-strength graphite to make it have a conductive function. The graphite mold applies pressure to the welding surface, and 0.2 - 0.4 mm graphite paper is placed to increase the conductive area between the mold and the welded parts. When assembling the welded parts, it is required that the temperature measurement holes and the welding interface are at the same height so as to directly detect the temperature of the welding interface.
[0009] (3) Pulsed high-current diffusion welding connection. The assembled workpieces to be welded according to the requirements are placed into a pulsed high-current welding device. The pulsed high-current welding in this technical solution is realized through a spark plasma welding device. After completing the heating program, the pulsed current is disconnected and cooled to room temperature with the furnace.
[0010] Specific welding parameters in step (3):
[0011] Vacuum degree: 9×10 -2 Pa~5×10 -2 Pa,
[0012] Welding temperature: 750°C to 950°C,
[0013] Welding time: 3 min to 20 min,
[0014] Welding pressure: 5 MPa to 15 MPa
[0015] Pulse current: 1500 A to 2500 A,
[0016] Voltage: 3 V to 5 V,
[0017] Pulse ratio (ON / OFF): 12 / 2 to 6.
[0018] Preferred parameters are: welding temperature 900°C, welding time 10 min, welding pressure 10 MPa, pulse On / Off = 12 / 2, welding pressure 10 MPa, pulse current 1800 A, voltage 3.0 - 3.5 V.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0020] The present invention proposes a method for joining TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy by pulsed high - current diffusion welding. This method is simple to operate and does not require skilled operators and special die - sleeve technology.
[0021] Compared with fusion welding, brazing, and conventional hot - press diffusion welding, the pulsed high - current diffusion welding proposed by the present invention does not require overall heating. The heat source mainly comes from the joule heat generated by the interface resistance between the diffusion interfaces and the resistance of the base material itself. The temperature of the diffusion interface is the highest, and the rest of the base material is lower than the diffusion interface. Therefore, the mechanical properties are less affected by heat.
[0022] The present invention can conveniently adjust the current pulse parameters by adjusting the current ON / OFF ratio, and can produce special effects: electro - plastic effect and electric - field - assisted diffusion effect. Among them, the electric field formed by the pulsed high - current has an electro - plastic effect, which can improve the plasticity of the welded part and reduce the welding pressure required. The electric - field - assisted diffusion effect can significantly accelerate element diffusion, reduce the welding temperature and time required. Compared with conventional hot - press diffusion welding, the welding temperature is reduced by more than 100°C, the welding time required is shortened by 50% - 90% or more, the energy consumption is only 1 / 5 - 1 / 3 of that of conventional hot - press diffusion welding, and the welding efficiency is high and the cost is low.
[0023] The electric field formed by pulsed high current can clean the oxides and adsorbed gases at the diffusion interface, purify the welding surface, activate the diffusion interface, and reduce the impurities in the welded joint. The welding time is fast, the joint forming mechanism is special, the brittle structure of the joint is reduced, the grains of the joint are fine, and the TiAl alloy and Ti2AlNb alloy can be directly welded, with a shear strength of up to 258 MPa.
[0024] Pulsed high current diffusion welding has a wide range of applications and can weld most difficult-to-weld metal materials and non-metal materials. The welding parameters have strong applicability, and the welding parameters provided by the present invention are applicable to diffusion welding with intermediate layers such as Ti and Nb added.
