Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a high-temperature alloy hot end component and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to a hot end component of a gas turbine or an aircraft engine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The hot-end components of gas turbines and aircraft engines are typically coated with a high-temperature, oxidation-resistant coating. This coating is crucial for increasing the operating temperature and lifespan of these components. This coating consists of four main layers: the outermost layer is a ceramic thermal barrier; beneath it is a metallic bonding layer, which improves the bond strength between the ceramic layer and the substrate and provides high-temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance; during high-temperature service, a thermally grown oxide layer forms at the interface between the bonding layer and the ceramic layer; beneath these three layers lies the load-bearing high-temperature alloy substrate. The thermal barrier coating, bonding layer, and the thermally grown oxide layer dynamically generated during high-temperature operation provide protection for the high-temperature alloy substrate, thereby extending the service life of the hot-end components.

[0003] For example, patent publication CN103966539B discloses a plasma-evaporated, long-life, high-insulation lanthanide thermal barrier coating ceramic layer with a composite structure and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of thermal barrier coating technology. The ceramic layer material is composed of a lanthanide zirconate or a cerate. The thermal barrier coating includes a bonding layer, a first ceramic layer, and a second ceramic layer prepared on a substrate. The first ceramic layer is a YSZ coating. The second ceramic layer is composed of a lanthanide zirconate or a cerate. In the preparation method of the above-mentioned ceramic layer, the pressure of the vacuum chamber is less than 1 mbar; by adjusting parameters such as the spraying power, current, gas flow, substrate temperature, powder feed rate, and spraying distance, a YSZ coating and a lanthanide thermal barrier coating ceramic layer can be obtained, each having a microstructure of a columnar crystal structure, a layered structure, a layered plus columnar crystal structure, or a nanostructured coating. The thermal barrier coating has a long service life and good thermal insulation properties.

[0004] For example, patent publication CN1621556A discloses a thermal barrier coating with high thermal stability, high temperature sintering resistance, and low thermal conductivity. It uses electron beam physical vapor deposition to deposit a bonding layer and a ceramic layer on the surface of a nickel-based high-temperature alloy substrate. The bonding layer material is MCrAlY, where M can be a Ni alloy element, a Co alloy element, or a Ni+Co mixed alloy element; the ceramic layer material is lanthanum cerate La. 2.0~3.0 CeO 7.0~8.5 The thermal barrier coating of the invention has a high melting point, no phase change from room temperature to operating temperature, low thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and thermal expansion matching with the nickel-based high-temperature alloy substrate.

[0005] However, coating failure and detachment, resulting in damage to the hot-end component substrate and a shortened hot-end component lifespan, are key contributors to the high operating and maintenance costs of existing gas turbine hot-end components. Coating failure is closely linked to the interfaces of the multilayer structure. The main causes are: 1) the significant difference in thermal expansion coefficients between ceramic and metal; 2) the integrity of the thermally grown oxide layer is compromised, significantly reducing its antioxidant properties and weakening its interfacial bonding strength with the bonding layer and ceramic layer.

[0006] Furthermore, hot-end components must be well-designed for cooling. However, current cooling designs fail to optimize the surface curves and film structures. Consequently, the film structure's cooling is affected by its distance from the cooling channels and by the dynamic variations in film cooling coverage and cooling efficiency, making it difficult to achieve adequate cooling protection.

[0007] If the current cooling structure is moved to a surface layer closer to the surface, it will be unable to be manufactured due to the limitations of the manufacturing method capabilities or will fail prematurely due to insufficient surface bonding strength. The existing bonding layer metal manufacturing method is thermal spraying methods such as plasma spraying: on the one hand, it is impossible to use this spraying method to form complex surface cooling structures; on the other hand, the bonding strength between the bonding layer metal and the substrate needs to pass the ASTM C633-13 (2021) test to determine whether the film bonding strength is qualified. On this basis, the higher the tensile strength of the bonding layer metal material, the more it can withstand load stress. Practical application experience data shows that the tensile strength level of thermally sprayed bonding layer metal is about 100-200MPa. When the cooling structure is located on the surface and the surface structure is very thin, this strength is relatively low. When working in a high-temperature environment, the cooling channel must withstand the high pressure of the cooling gas. An overly thin surface layer will fail prematurely due to insufficient strength.

[0008] Therefore, improving the existing high-temperature resistant and anti-oxidation coating to make it have a longer service life and reduce the maintenance cost of the hot end components is of great significance for the long-term normal operation of the gas turbine and the guarantee of electricity and power supply. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-temperature alloy hot end component and a method for preparing the high-temperature alloy hot end component, so as to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, a high-temperature alloy hot end component is provided, comprising a high-temperature alloy substrate and a cooling film layer, wherein the cooling film layer is located on the surface of the high-temperature alloy substrate, and the high-temperature alloy substrate has an internal cooling structure, characterized in that the cooling film layer has cooling holes and a cooling passage located inside the cooling film layer, the cooling passage is communicated with the internal cooling structure, and the cooling holes connect the cooling passage and the outer surface of the cooling film layer.

[0022] Furthermore, the cooling film layer is manufactured by an additive manufacturing method, and the particle size distribution of the spherical powder of the metal matrix used in the additive manufacturing is:

[0029] Furthermore, the mass percentage of the strengthening phase in the cooling film layer is 0.1-5%, and the strengthening phase is distributed in a gradient in the cooling film layer. The content of the strengthening phase gradually increases from the high-temperature alloy substrate to the outer surface of the cooling film layer.

[0056] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0057] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific examples. These examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection claimed in the present invention.

[0058] Example 1

[0059] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a high-temperature alloy hot end component 1 includes a high-temperature alloy substrate 2 and a cooling film layer 3, wherein the cooling film layer 3 is located on the surface of the high-temperature alloy substrate 1, and the high-temperature alloy substrate 1 has an internal cooling structure 4, characterized in that the cooling film layer 3 has cooling holes 5 and a cooling passage 6 located inside the cooling film layer, the cooling passage 6 is connected to the internal cooling structure 4, and the cooling holes 5 connect the cooling passage 6 and the outer surface of the cooling film layer 3.

[0060] Furthermore, at least a portion of the cooling channel 6 is arranged parallel to the outer surface of the cooling film layer 3. Furthermore, the cooling channel 6 includes a first cooling branch 61 and a second cooling branch 62, with at least a portion of the first cooling branch 61 and at least a portion of the second cooling branch 62 extending in different directions. Furthermore, the first cooling branch 61 is connected to the second cooling branch 62, forming a mesh cooling structure.

[0061] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first cooling branches 61 and the second cooling branches 62 are both linear structures and include multiple first cooling branches 61 and multiple second cooling branches 62. The multiple first cooling branches 61 are parallel to each other, and the multiple second cooling branches 62 are parallel to each other. The first cooling branches 61 and at least some of the second cooling branches 62 extend in different directions. This arrangement allows the first cooling branches 61 and the second cooling branches 62 to form a network cooling structure.

[0062] During operation, cooling air flows through the internal cooling structure within the substrate into the meshed cooling channels, maintaining good heat transfer inside the cooling film while simultaneously dissipating heat to the outer surface through the cooling holes, creating "sweating cooling." Compared to traditional air film cooling, the cooling holes of sweating cooling are evenly and finely distributed across the film surface, providing better coverage of the cooling area and a more effective cooling effect.

[0063] However, in other embodiments, the first cooling branch and the second cooling branch may be in the form of curves, broken lines, or other forms; and the specific positions, directions, and flow relationships between multiple first cooling branches, between multiple second cooling branches, and between the first cooling branch and the second cooling branch, whether they are parallel or connected, etc., can be designed and selected by those skilled in the art based on actual conditions, and are not limited to the specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] Furthermore, the cooling film layer is manufactured on the high-temperature alloy substrate by an additive manufacturing method.

[0065] Furthermore, the thickness of the cooling film layer is 0.5-5 mm. Preferably, the thickness of the cooling film layer is 1-2 mm.

[0066] Furthermore, the dimension of the cooling passage in the thickness direction of the cooling film layer is 0.1-1.5 mm. Preferably, the dimension of the cooling passage in the thickness direction of the cooling film layer is 0.5-1 mm.

[0067] Furthermore, the spacing between the cooling holes is 1-4 mm, and the diameter of the cooling holes is 0.2-0.8 mm. Preferably, the spacing between the cooling holes is 1-2 mm, and the diameter of the cooling holes is 0.3-0.5 mm.

[0068] From the practical experience of hot-end component thermal design, the cross-sectional shape and angle of surface cooling holes significantly influence the coverage of the cooling film on the hot-end component surface. In other embodiments, the cooling holes are special-shaped cooling holes. Specifically, these special-shaped cooling holes can be inclined holes, curved holes, or other special cooling hole shapes created using 3D printing technology. Special hole shapes, inclined holes, and curved holes facilitate additive manufacturing, but are difficult to achieve using traditional methods such as laser processing.

[0069] Furthermore, the cooling film layer is a metal-based material including Ni, Co and Al elements.

[0070] Furthermore, the cooling film layer includes a metal matrix and a strengthening phase distributed within the metal matrix. The chemical composition of the metal matrix, by weight, includes: 22-24% Co, 19-21% Cr, 8-9% Al, 3.5-4.5% Ta, 0.3-0.9% Y, and the sum of impurity contents (C, S, O) is less than 0.02%. In this embodiment, the chemical composition of the metal matrix, by weight, includes: 23% Co, 20% Cr, 8.5% Al, 4% Ta, 0.6% Y, and the sum of impurity contents (C, S, O) is less than 0.02%, with the balance being Ni.

[0071] Furthermore, the reinforcement phase is oxide particles, and the particle size of the oxide particles is 2-200 nm. Specifically, the particle size of the oxide particles is about 5-50 nm.

[0072] Furthermore, the strengthening phase includes one or more of Y2O3, ZrO2 or Al2O3. Specifically, the strengthening phase is yttrium oxide, and is in the form of ellipsoidal or irregular particles.

[0073] Furthermore, the strengthening phase comprises a mass percentage of 0.1-5% within the cooling film layer, and the strengthening phase is distributed in a gradient within the cooling film layer, with the content of the strengthening phase gradually increasing from the superalloy substrate toward the outer surface of the cooling film layer. Specifically, the interface region with the superalloy substrate has a low oxide content (0-1% by weight), while the oxide content near the outer surface is high (1.5-5% by weight).

[0074] Compared to conventional film cooling, which results in a temperature drop of approximately 200°C, the "sweating cooling" outer surface of the cooling film layer of the present invention achieves a significantly greater temperature drop of approximately 300-350°C. For example, at an ambient temperature of 1500°C, the oxide-dispersion-strengthened metal-matrix composite material must withstand a long-term operating temperature of approximately 1150°C. At this temperature, the cooling film layer possesses the required strength to withstand the pressure and flow of the cooling gas medium, exceeding 50 MPa.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] A method for preparing the above-mentioned high-temperature alloy hot end component includes a strengthening phase treatment step, a mixing step, an additive manufacturing step, and a roughness reduction step.

[0077] S1. Strengthening phase treatment steps

[0078] In the strengthening phase treatment step, the surface of the strengthening phase is treated so that the strengthening phase and the metal matrix can be better bonded. Furthermore, the strengthening phase treatment step includes a surface pretreatment step and a nickel plating step.

[0079] S1-1. Surface pretreatment steps

[0080] In the surface pretreatment step, the surface of the reinforcement phase is pretreated to reduce the surface energy of the reinforcement phase.

[0081] S1-2, nickel plating step

[0082] In the nickel plating step, a nickel layer is formed on the surface of the reinforcement phase. The purpose of surface nickel plating is to form a better interface bonding with the substrate during the micro-molten pool solidification process in the additive manufacturing process, while also having a very uniform distribution.

[0083] S2, mixing step

[0084] In the mixing step, the reinforcing phase is mixed with the powder of the metal matrix.

[0085] S3, additive manufacturing steps

[0086] In the additive manufacturing step, the cooling film layer is formed on the surface of the high-temperature alloy substrate using an additive manufacturing method. Furthermore, the additive manufacturing method is DED additive manufacturing (DED is an abbreviation for Directed Energy Deposition, an additive manufacturing method in the national standard GB / T 35021-2018). In this step, the connection structure between the internal cooling structure of the high-temperature alloy substrate and the cooling passage of the cooling film layer needs to be designed in a coordinated manner. For example, holes of equal diameter can be provided at the respective joint locations, and the cooling passage of the cooling film layer is designed with these holes as the core.

[0087] The cooling holes are formed in an additive manufacturing step, and thus the cooling holes can be formed into special-shaped holes.

[0088] S4、 Roughness reduction steps

[0089] In the roughness reducing step, the roughness of the inner surfaces of the cooling passages and cooling holes is reduced using abrasive flow or chemical polishing.

[0090] Bonding strength between film layer and substrate layer: When the materials are the same, the bonding strength between the film layer and the high-temperature alloy substrate obtained by additive manufacturing in this application meets the ASTM C633-13 (2021) test standard. Figure 4 (a). Attached Figure 4 The experimental result photos in (a) are experimental result photos of two groups of samples (each group of samples has two parallel experimental samples, a total of four samples).

[0091] Comparison of film tensile strength: The tensile strength of the present invention is about 1000MPa, while the tensile strength of the plasma sprayed film is about 100MPa. Due to the high strength of the film in the present invention, a thinner film structure can be formed. See the attached test results. Figure 4 (b), (c).

[0092] The samples with cooling holes of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm in diameter prepared according to the method of this embodiment are shown in the attached Figure 5 .
