[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The present invention strictly controls the contents of C, Co, W and Mo elements by adjusting the composition ratio of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, wherein the C element is controlled according to the lower limit, and the binding rate of the C element with elements such as Cr, W and Ti is reduced, so that the amount of precipitated carbides in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy is effectively reduced, and the dispersion strengthening effect of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy is weakened; the Co, W and Mo elements are controlled according to the middle and lower limits, and the solubility of the Co, W and Mo elements in the austenite matrix of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy is reduced, thereby weakening the solid solution strengthening effect; the dispersion strengthening and solid solution strengthening effects of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy are weakened, thereby significantly reducing the hardness and strength of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, and improving its deformation coordination and plasticity, and the room temperature tensile elongation of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy is ≥50.4%.

[0035] 2. The present invention, on the basis of strictly controlling the contents of C, Co, W and Mo elements, adds the element B, and controls the content of the element B within the range of 0.005%-0.010%. The element B is mainly enriched at the grain boundaries and forms borides. The grain boundary borides prevent grain boundary sliding, the connection and expansion of voids, increase the grain boundary bonding force, and thus improve the high-temperature and long-term performance of the alloy. In addition, the element B easily forms boron carbide with the element C, thereby reducing the combination of C with elements such as Cr, W and Ti, reducing the amount of primary carbides precipitated between dendrites, changing the distribution of carbides, preventing the segregation of carbides, and reducing banded structure. More importantly, during the solidification process of alloy smelting, the element B can reduce the amount of eutectic structure and refine the matrix structure, reducing the probability of crack initiation caused by the high brittleness of the eutectic structure, thereby improving the plasticity of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy.

[0036] 3. The present invention optimizes the composition of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy by regulating and controlling the C element according to the lower limit, the Co, W and Mo elements according to the middle and lower limits, and adds the B element; then adopts a vacuum induction melting and electroslag remelting two-step smelting process, and under the action of vacuum with a slag system of CaF2:Al2O3:CaO:MgO=60%:20%:10%:10%, the content of gas elements O and N in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy is reduced, as well as the content of impurity elements such as S, so that more B element combines with C element to form boron carbide, further reducing the combination of C element with elements such as Cr, W and Ti, improving the internal structure and distribution of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, thereby reducing the strength and hardness of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, and further improving the plasticity of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy.

[0037] 4. The iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy obtained by the present invention has high plasticity, that is, the elongation after break at room temperature is ≥50.4%. After hot rolling and cold rolling, the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy can be prepared into ultra-thin strip foil with a thickness of ≤0.1 mm, and the yield of the ultra-thin strip foil can reach more than 95%.

[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The invention provides an iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy. The iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy comprises, by mass percentage, the following components: C: 0.06%-0.10%; Cr: 21.0%-22.0%; Mo: 8.5%-9.5%; W: 0.30%-0.60%; Co: 0.55%-1.50%; Fe: 17.5%-20.5%; Al≤0.40%; Ti≤0.10%; Si≤0.9%; S≤0.008%; P≤0.020%; and the balance is Ni.

[0054] Compared with the existing technology, the content of element C and solid solution strengthening elements Co, W, Mo, and impurity element S in the iron-nickel base high temperature alloy is strictly controlled, the binding rate of element C with elements such as W, Cr, Fe, Ti, and the binding rate of element S with element Fe is reduced, the amount of precipitation of carbides and sulfides is reduced, and the effects of dispersion strengthening and solid solution strengthening of the iron-nickel base high temperature alloy are weakened, thereby improving the plasticity of the iron-nickel base high temperature alloy.

[0055] Specifically, the functions of the components of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy are as follows:

[0056] C: Carbon primarily forms carbides with Cr, W, and Ti, acting as dispersion strengthening, increasing the hardness and strength of Fe-Ni-based superalloys and helping to control grain size. However, as the C content gradually increases, excessive carbides form, and the carbides are distributed in chains at the grain boundaries, producing a banded structure that reduces the alloy's plasticity and toughness. Therefore, in order to significantly reduce the deformation resistance of Fe-Ni-based superalloys, improve the plasticity of Fe-Ni-based superalloys, and thereby improve the cold rolling performance of Fe-Ni-based superalloy strip and foil, the C content in Fe-Ni-based superalloys is preferably controlled between 0.06% and 0.10%.

[0057] For example, the content of element C in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy may be 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09% or 0.10%.

[0058] Co, W, and Mo: The elements Co, W, and Mo simultaneously dissolve in the austenite matrix of the Fe-Ni-based superalloy, acting as a composite solid solution strengthening agent. Co not only helps improve the high-temperature thermal strength of the Fe-Ni-based superalloy, but also has benefits for high-temperature hot corrosion resistance. W promotes the formation of carbides. The increase in W directly leads to a significant increase in the number of carbides precipitated, which inhibits grain growth. Furthermore, the increased W content significantly increases the σ phase in the TCP phase. Mo and Co have little effect on the precipitation morphology and number of carbides. However, when Mo is added in excess, it not only reduces the alloy's corrosion resistance but also promotes the formation of harmful phases, deteriorating the hot working properties.

[0059] As the overall content of Co, W, and Mo gradually increases, Co, W, and Mo gradually dissolve in the γ matrix, causing lattice distortion, thereby making the solid solution strengthening effect prominent. At the same time, a large number of fine and dispersed carbides will form in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, ultimately significantly improving the hardness and strength of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy. However, while the strength and hardness of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy are greatly improved, the deformation resistance of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy increases, and the coordinated deformation ability and plasticity decrease, which is not conducive to the cold rolling processing of ultra-thin strip foils, and is prone to uneven deformation and cracking. Therefore, the Co, W, and Mo contents in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy of the present invention are appropriately controlled according to the middle and lower limits, Co 0.55%-1.50%, W 0.30%-0.60%, and Mo 8.50%-9.50%.

[0060] For example, the content of element Co in the iron-nickel based high temperature alloy may be 0.55%, 0.65%, 0.75%, 0.85%, 0.95%, 1.05%, 1.20%, 1.30%, 1.40% or 1.50%.

[0061] For example, the content of W in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy may be 0.30%, 0.35%, 0.40%, 0.45%, 0.50%, 0.55% or 0.60%.

[0062] For example, the content of element Mo in the iron-nickel based high temperature alloy may be 8.50%, 8.80%, 9.0%, 9.20% or 9.50%.

[0063] Si and S: The elements Si and S have little effect on the hardness and strength of iron-nickel-based superalloys. However, a significant increase in their content can reduce their hot and cold working plasticity and coordinated deformation capabilities, leading to a significant tendency toward deformation cracking and hindering the hot and cold rolling of ultra-thin strip. Therefore, maintaining low levels of Si and S in the present invention helps improve the purity and hot and cold working plasticity of the iron-nickel-based superalloy.

[0064] To further improve the microstructure and performance of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based superalloy, the composition of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based superalloy is further adjusted. For example, the composition, by mass percentage, includes: C: 0.06%-0.08%; Cr: 21.0%-22.0%; Mo: 8.5%-9.0%; W: 0.30%-0.45%; Co: 0.55%-1.0%; Fe: 17.5%-20.5%; Al≤0.40%; Ti≤0.10%; Si≤0.9%; S≤0.008%; P≤0.020%; the balance is Ni.

[0065] In order to further improve the microstructure and performance of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based superalloy, the composition of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based superalloy is further adjusted. For example, the composition of the above-mentioned iron-nickel-based superalloy further includes B: 0.005%-0.01% by mass.

[0066] The role of element B in the present invention is as follows:

[0067] B: B is a microalloying element that concentrates at grain boundaries, forming borides there. Borides can inhibit grain boundary slip and the connection and expansion of voids, increasing the cohesion of grain boundaries and significantly improving the alloy's creep and durability properties. The addition of B in the present invention alters the morphology and distribution of carbides, making them fine and dispersed, and reducing banding. It also improves the room-temperature and high-temperature plasticity of the iron-nickel-based superalloy, significantly increasing its elongation after fracture. However, when the B content in the alloy exceeds 0.010%, a low-melting-point eutectic structure gradually forms and segregates at and near grain boundaries. Due to the high brittleness of the eutectic structure, crack initiation is easily triggered, reducing the plasticity of the iron-nickel-based superalloy, and consequently, its elongation after fracture. Therefore, the B content in the iron-nickel-based superalloy of the present invention is controlled between 0.005% and 0.010%.

[0068] For example, the content of element B in the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy may be 0.005%, 0.006%, 0.007%, 0.008%, 0.009% or 0.01%.

[0069] Specifically, the iron-nickel based high temperature alloy structure includes an austenite matrix, M6C type carbides, M 23 C6 type carbide and TCP phase.

[0070] Specifically, the M6C carbide and the M 23 The content of C6 type carbide is ≤3.0%.

[0071] The present invention provides a method for preparing an iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, which adopts a vacuum induction melting and electroslag remelting two-step smelting process to prepare the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0072] S1: Vacuum induction melting: Raw materials are weighed according to the element ratio of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, added into a vacuum induction furnace, and fully melted, refined, and impurity-removed under vacuum conditions. The steel is then cast into electrode rods under argon protection.

[0073] The full melting temperature is 1480°C-1500°C, the refining temperature is 1490°C-1510°C, the refining time is greater than 60 minutes, and the tapping temperature is 1510°C-1530°C.

[0074] S2: electroslag remelting: the electrode rod is subjected to electroslag remelting in an electroslag smelting furnace to produce an iron-nickel based high temperature alloy.

[0075] The protective slag system is CaF2:Al2O3:CaO:MgO=60%:20%:10%:10%, and the melting speed is 3kg / min-5kg / min.

[0076] Compared with existing technologies, this new process optimizes the alloy composition of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy and utilizes a dual-melting process of vacuum induction melting and electroslag remelting. During the vacuum induction melting stage, the alloy raw materials are completely melted at 1480°C-1500°C to produce molten steel with good fluidity. Raising the temperature to 1490°C-1510°C facilitates the thorough mixing of the various elements, achieving a uniform composition of the molten steel. The temperature is then further raised to 1510°C-1530°C for tapping and pouring. At this temperature, the molten steel exhibits good fluidity and meets the shrinkage feeding requirements during solidification.

[0077] During the electroslag remelting stage, the content of gas elements O and N in the iron-nickel base high-temperature alloy is reduced by combining the protective slag system of CaF2:Al2O3:CaO:MgO=60%:20%:10%:10% and the melting speed, and the content of impurity elements such as S is reduced, providing a high-purity iron-nickel base high-temperature alloy.

[0078] In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the following examples and comparative examples are provided for illustration.

[0084] (3) weighing raw materials according to the element ratio of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloy, adding the raw materials into a vacuum induction furnace, and performing full melting, refining, and impurity removal under vacuum conditions, and then casting the steel into a Φ150 mm electrode rod under argon protection;

[0120] Preparation of ultra-thin foils

[0121] The Φ280 mm electroslag ingots (i.e., iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloys) obtained in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were processed into slabs with a thickness of 40 mm, and then the slabs were prepared into ultra-thin strip foils by hot rolling and cold rolling. The preparation method includes the following steps:

[0122] Step 1: Sheet Rolling

[0123] The slab with a thickness of 40 mm was placed on a four-roll hot rolling mill for hot rolling at a heating temperature of 1100° C., and a control range of the deformation of each pass was: 40 mm → 18 mm → 9 mm → 5 mm → 3 mm; an annealing heat treatment was performed between each pass at a heating temperature of 1150° C., a holding time of 30 minutes, and air cooling was performed to obtain a plate with a thickness of 3 mm;

[0124] Step 2: Strip Rough Rolling

[0125] The obtained plate was placed on a four-roll reversible cold rolling mill for cold rolling, with the pass deformation control range being: 3.0 mm → 2.0 mm → 1.5 mm, to produce a rough strip with a thickness of 1.5 mm;

[0126] Annealing heat treatment is performed between each pass, the heating temperature of the annealing heat treatment is 1150°C, and the holding time is 30 minutes;

[0127] Step 3: Strip finishing

[0128] The obtained rough strip was placed on a twenty-roll reversible cold rolling mill for cold rolling, with the deformation amount of each pass distributed as 1.5 mm → 0.85 mm → 0.65 mm → 0.45 mm → 0.25 mm → 0.15 mm → 0.09 mm → 0.05 mm, to produce a strip foil with a thickness of 0.05 mm;

[0129] A hydrogen-protected continuous annealing furnace is used for bright intermediate annealing and finished product annealing. The heating temperature of the annealing heat treatment is 1150° C. and the holding time is 4 minutes.

[0130] Using strip foil to manufacture honeycomb structures meets the demand for lightweight aviation and aerospace engines. Key requirements for strip foil include a hardness of HV ≤ 253 (equivalent to HBS 241) and a room-temperature tensile ductility δ ≥ 35%. Strip foils were prepared from the iron-nickel-based superalloys obtained in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4. The properties and yield of the resulting strip foils are shown in Table 2.

[0133] Reference Figure 1-7 , according to Example 1-7, the iron-nickel based high temperature alloy was prepared. From the metallographic diagram, it can be seen that a small amount of carbides are precipitated at the grain boundaries and inside the grains. The carbides mainly include M6C type carbides and M 23 C6 carbide, M6C carbide and M 23 The total content of C6 carbides is ≤3.0%. Moreover, the carbides are small in size and relatively dispersed in distribution. No carbide banding is observed. The alloy matrix has good uniformity of structure and the grain size is uniform without obvious mixed crystal phenomenon.

[0134] Reference Figure 8-11 , Iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloys were prepared according to Comparative Examples 1-4. From the metallographic images, it can be seen that a large amount of carbides are precipitated at the grain boundaries and inside the grains of the iron-nickel-based high-temperature alloys of Comparative Examples 1-3. The carbides mainly include M6C type carbides and M 23 C6 carbide, M6C carbide and M 23 The total content of C6 carbides is greater than 3.0%. Moreover, when the content of elements C, Mo, W and Co exceeds the upper limit, mixed crystal phenomenon occurs in the matrix of the iron-nickel base high-temperature alloy, the uniformity of the structure deteriorates, and the carbide strips are more obvious (see Figure 10 ).

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
