Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gas path sealing, and in particular to a method for preparing a sealing ring made of a high-elasticity high-temperature alloy and the sealing ring. Background Art

[0002] Metal sealing rings are a type of axial, self-tightening static seal with a novel sealing form and excellent sealing performance. Made of alloy, their cross-section typically exhibits a "W," "M," or more complex, multi-corrugated shape. They offer excellent resilience, vibration absorption, a wide deformation range, excellent vibration tracking, and strong wear resistance. They are particularly well-suited for operation in harsh environments such as high temperature, high pressure, vibration, and highly corrosive media. In recent years, they have been widely used in the air path sealing of aircraft engines.

[0003] There are two common processes for forming metal seals: roll forming and hydroforming. Taking hydroforming as an example, existing aircraft engine metal seals are typically made from age-hardening nickel-based deformable high-temperature alloys such as national standard GH4169 and GH738.

[0004] These alloys have high tensile strength and significant work hardening. However, during hydroforming, blanks made from these alloys are prone to uneven deformation of the seal ring due to localized stress concentration. Furthermore, the material often contains numerous deformation defects (such as dislocations, deformation twins, and stacking faults). This can lead to insufficient elasticity and substandard high-temperature sealing performance in the resulting metal seal ring, making it unable to meet the service requirements of aircraft engine sealing devices.

[0061] Example

[0062] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for preparing a sealing ring made of a high-elasticity high-temperature alloy (hereinafter referred to as the "preparation method"). This preparation method uses a high-elasticity high-temperature alloy to prepare a sealing ring 600, thereby overcoming the problems of sealing rings 600 made of existing age-hardened nickel-based deformable high-temperature alloys, such as insufficient elasticity and substandard high-temperature sealing performance.

[0063] In this example, the UNSN03360 American Standard ultra-high elasticity high-temperature alloy is used as an example. This alloy corresponds to the domestic material grade 97NiBe and is both a high-elasticity alloy and a high-temperature alloy. Furthermore, this alloy offers advantages such as high electrical conductivity, high elasticity, and excellent creep properties. It is widely used in sealing structures such as gas turbines, combustion chambers, casings, gas pipelines, and compressors.

[0064] Literature data show that the domestic use of solution and aging heat treatment methods to control the performance of 97NiBe thick plate materials (thickness greater than 10mm), the solution temperature is required to be above 1000℃, and the resulting grain size is relatively coarse (greater than 200μm).

[0065] However, the thickness of the sealing ring 600 to be manufactured is much less than 10mm, and the grain size of the material used for the sealing ring 600 must be less than 100μm to achieve good sealing performance. After 97NiBe is treated by existing heat treatment methods, it is impossible to manufacture the sealing ring 600 using conventional hydraulic bulging technology.

[0066] Therefore, the above preparation method replaces the existing age-hardened nickel-based deformed high-temperature alloy with a high-elasticity high-temperature alloy, while also solving the problem that the high-elasticity high-temperature alloy cannot be directly used in the hydraulic bulging process to prepare the sealing ring 600.

[0067] The above preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0068] S1, obtaining a wafer made of a high-elasticity high-temperature alloy.

[0069] Specifically, UNSN03360 ultra-high elasticity high temperature alloy sheet was used as raw material, and was cut by a wire cutting machine to obtain a disc with a diameter of 30.0 mm.

[0070] Among them, the thickness of UNSN03360 ultra-high elastic high-temperature alloy sheet is 0.2-0.35mm.

[0071] Optionally, the thickness of the UNSN03360 ultra-high elastic high-temperature alloy sheet is any value among 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, and 0.2-0.35 mm.

[0072] In this embodiment, the thickness of the UNSN03360 ultra-high elasticity high temperature alloy sheet is 0.3 mm. Accordingly, the thickness of the disc and the finally formed sealing ring 600 are both 0.3 mm.

[0073] S2, annealing the wafer.

[0074] See also Figure 2 , the specific steps are as follows:

[0075] S2-1, clean the wafer with anhydrous ethanol and dry it.

[0076] S2-2, placing the wafer in a vacuum furnace for annealing at a temperature of 925±10°C for 10±1 min.

[0077] S2-3, performing water cooling on the wafer.

[0078] Annealing the wafer can eliminate the internal stress of the wafer material, regulate the grain structure of the material, and facilitate the subsequent hydraulic bulging process.

[0079] S3, stretching and cutting the annealed disc to form a ring-shaped blank 200 (see Figure 7 ).

[0080] See also Figure 3 , the specific steps are as follows:

[0081] S3-1, stretching the disc to form a cylindrical first workpiece, wherein one end of the first workpiece is closed and the other end is open.

[0082] In this embodiment, a hydraulic press is used to stretch the disc at a pressure of 130 MPa. In addition, the outer diameter of the first workpiece after stretching is 16.5 mm.

[0083] S3-2, stretching the first workpiece to form a second workpiece.

[0084] In this embodiment, a hydraulic press is used to stretch the first workpiece at a pressure of 120 MPa. In addition, the outer diameter of the second workpiece after stretching is 13.0 mm.

[0085] S3-3, stretching the second workpiece to form a third workpiece 100.

[0086] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, a hydraulic press is used to stretch the second workpiece, and the pressure is 100 MPa. In addition, the outer diameter of the third workpiece 100 after stretching is 9.8 mm.

[0087] S3-4, cutting the third workpiece 100 at both ends along the axial direction to form an annular blank 200.

[0088] In this embodiment, the blank 200 has a length of 11.0 mm and an outer diameter of 9.8 mm.

[0089] S4, annealing the blank 200.

[0090] See also Figure 5 , the specific steps are as follows:

[0091] S4-1, clean the blank 200 with anhydrous ethanol and dry it.

[0092] S4-2, placing the blank 200 in a vacuum furnace for annealing, the annealing temperature is 940±10°C, and the holding time is 20±1min.

[0093] S4-3, performing water cooling treatment on the blank 200.

[0094] Annealing the blank 200 can eliminate the local stress formed in the blank 200 during the tensile deformation process, and at the same time reduce the crystal defect density (such as dislocation density, twin density and stacking fault density, etc.) inside the material, thereby facilitating the subsequent hydraulic bulging process.

[0095] S5, removing the oxide layer on the surface of the blank 200.

[0096] Specifically, 200-mesh corundum sand is used to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the blank 200 by wet sand blowing at a pressure of 1.5 to 2.5 MPa.

[0097] S6, hydraulically bulging the annealed blank 200 and removing the excess to form a sealing ring 600.

[0098] See also Figure 6 , the specific steps are as follows:

[0099] S6-1, place the blank 200 between the first movable mold 300 and the second movable mold 400, keep the first movable mold 300 and the second movable mold 400 stationary, inject hydraulic oil into the inside of the blank 200, control the mold clamping pressure to 80±2Mpa and maintain it for 5 to 10 minutes, and pre-expand the blank 200.

[0100] Please also refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 After pre-bulging, the blank 200 undergoes a certain amount of plastic bulging deformation in the radial direction.

[0101] S6-2, see Figure 9 , the first movable mold 300 and the second movable mold 400 are fed toward the middle mold 500 until the first movable mold 300 and the second movable mold 400 are closed with the middle mold 500, and the mold closing pressure is controlled to 71±2Mpa.

[0102] The first and second movable molds 300 and 400 are simultaneously fed along the design trajectory of the sealing ring 600 mold surface, ultimately closing with the middle mold 500. During this process, the blank 200 is filled into the mold cavity under the action of high-pressure fluid and abuts against the mold cavity until the first and second movable molds 300 and 400 are completely closed.

[0103] S6-3, see Figure 10 , keep the first movable mold 300 and the second movable mold 400 stationary, control the mold clamping pressure to be greater than 100 MPa, increase the hydraulic pressure to make the blank 200 completely close to the mold cavity, and perform high-pressure shaping on the blank 200.

[0104] S6-4, after the blank 200 is positioned and clamped, the excess margin at both ends of the blank 200 is evenly removed to form a sealing ring 600 (see Figure 12 ). Soak and clean the sealing ring 600 with acetone to remove the residual processing medium and burrs.

[0105] Among them, the control test was carried out after adjusting the pressure in each stage of hydraulic bulging, and the results are as follows:

[0106]

[0107] In addition, a control experiment was conducted by replacing the hydraulic oil with distilled water while keeping the mold clamping pressure constant at each stage. During the high-pressure shaping stage, wrinkles appeared on the W-section of the seal ring 600.

[0108] S7, performing aging treatment on the sealing ring 600.

[0109] See also Figure 11 , the specific steps are as follows:

[0110] S7-1, place the sealing ring 600 in a vacuum furnace at a temperature of 495±5℃ and keep it warm for 120±2min.

[0111] S7-2, performing air cooling treatment on the sealing ring 600.

[0112] In this embodiment, argon gas is passed into the vacuum furnace to cool the sealing ring 600 .

[0113] Aging the seal ring 600 disperses and precipitates Be3Ni intermetallic compounds within the material, producing a strong precipitation hardening effect. These strengthening phases are relatively stable under high temperatures and complex stress conditions, ensuring that the seal ring 600's various performance properties (including elasticity, tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and creep resistance) meet requirements during service.

[0114] The second annealing process parameters (including temperature, time and cooling method) and aging process parameters (including temperature, time and cooling method) were adjusted, while keeping other processing parameters unchanged. A control test was conducted, and the results are as follows:

[0115]

[0116] Combined with the performance indicators specified in the sealing ring 600 design drawing - the microhardness value is not less than 468HV, the high temperature elasticity test rebound is not less than 0.43mm, and the sealing performance requirement is that no leakage is allowed under a pressure of 84Mpa, the optimal heat treatment parameters can be determined as:

[0117] In the second annealing, the temperature in the vacuum furnace is raised to 940±10℃, kept at this temperature for 20±1min, and then cooled with water. In the aging treatment, the temperature in the vacuum furnace is raised to 495±5℃, kept at this temperature for 120±2min, and then cooled with air.

[0118] S8, removing the oxide layer on the surface of the sealing ring 600.

[0119] Specifically, first, 200-mesh corundum sand is used to wet-blast sand at a pressure of 1.5-2.5 MPa to remove the oxide layer on the surface of the sealing ring 600. Then, the sealing ring 600 is cleaned with acetone and finally dried in a vacuum drying oven.

[0120] In summary, compared to existing hydroforming processes, the above-described production method replaces the existing age-hardening nickel-based wrought high-temperature alloy with 97NiBe, resulting in a seal ring 600 with sufficient elasticity and high-temperature sealing performance. Furthermore, the above-described production method encompasses hydroforming, annealing, and aging heat treatment processes, focusing on manipulating the grain orientation, grain structure, element distribution, and strengthening phase distribution of the seal ring 600 material to produce a metal seal ring 600 that meets service performance standards.

[0121] Secondly, the existing 97NiBe heat treatment process involves a single high-temperature solid solution treatment, which is suitable for thick 97NiBe plates greater than 10mm in thickness and is therefore unsuitable for preparing the ultra-thin 97NiBe sheets used in sealing ring 600. The aforementioned preparation method utilizes a single annealing process before sheet stretching, lowering the heat treatment temperature. This ensures the full formation of a supersaturated solid solution within the material used in sealing ring 600 while also reducing the grain size, ensuring excellent strength and toughness, and facilitating the forming process of sealing ring 600.

[0122] Furthermore, the aforementioned preparation method incorporates an annealing heat treatment process for the blank 200 prior to hydroforming. This, on the one hand, helps remove the internal stresses generated during the forming process of the sealing ring 600, thereby avoiding localized stress concentration. On the other hand, it reduces the density of crystal defects (such as dislocations, twins, and stacking faults) within the material used for the sealing ring 600, imparting excellent work-hardening capabilities to the material, facilitating the subsequent hydroforming process and ensuring more uniform deformation and accurate dimensional accuracy for the sealing ring 600.

[0123] Finally, the aforementioned preparation method applies an aging heat treatment to the seal ring 600 after hydroforming, resulting in the uniform precipitation of Be3Ni intermetallic compounds within the seal ring 600 material, producing a strong precipitation hardening effect. Unlike the γ′ phase, δ phase, and a small amount of carbides in aged GH4169 and GH738 alloys, which tend to grow and become unstable under high-temperature operation, the Be3Ni intermetallic compounds are in a completely coherent relationship with the matrix. The Be3Ni remains highly stable within the temperature range of 25°C to 700°C, ensuring that the metal seal ring 600 exhibits excellent elasticity, sealing performance, fatigue resistance, and creep resistance under high-temperature and complex stress conditions.

[0124] See also Figure 12 This embodiment also provides a sealing ring 600, which is prepared using the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0125] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting, and thus other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0126] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0127] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that variations and modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention, and such variations and modifications are fully within the scope of protection of the present invention.
