Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of alloy material joining technology, specifically relating to a material for joining single-crystal superalloys and polycrystalline superalloys, and its preparation and use methods. Background Technology

[0002] Aero engines are a symbol of modern powerful nations and a key element in great power competition, hailed as the "crown jewel" of modern industry. To develop advanced aero engines with high thrust-to-weight ratios, modern aero engines increasingly adopt integral bladed disk (IBD) structures, abandoning the traditional split-disk tenon joint structure. The lightweight design of IBD can reduce weight by 20%-30%, while effectively reducing heat transfer drag and heat transfer interfaces, thus improving the thermal efficiency of the aero engine. The materials used for turbine disks and blades typically differ significantly in properties. With the increasing thrust-to-weight ratio of aero engines, the high-temperature performance requirements for blade materials are becoming increasingly stringent, leading to the era of single-crystal superalloys for turbine blades. Advanced aero engine turbine disk materials typically employ polycrystalline superalloys such as powder metallurgy, wrought superalloys, and cast superalloys. Therefore, achieving high-performance bonding between single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys to manufacture integral turbine disks has become a crucial technology urgently needed for the development of new advanced aero engines.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for joining single-crystal / polycrystalline superalloys include fusion welding, brazing, linear friction welding, and transient liquid-phase diffusion bonding. All of these methods have limitations. Common fusion welding methods for nickel-based superalloys include electron beam welding and laser welding. Since the Al+Ti content in nickel-based superalloys is typically greater than 6 wt.%, solidification cracks inevitably appear at the joint during fusion welding. Both brazing and transient liquid-phase diffusion bonding of superalloys use Si and B as melting point reducing elements to prepare the joining materials. After joining, the joint is prone to residual brittle compounds of Si and B, resulting in extremely poor joint performance (below 50%). Although prolonged heat treatment can eliminate these brittle compounds, this leads to severe grain growth in the polycrystalline superalloy base material, causing a sharp deterioration in its mechanical properties. Therefore, traditional brazing and transient liquid-phase diffusion bonding are not suitable for joining single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys. In linear friction welding of single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys, the significant difference in their high-temperature strength makes it difficult for single-crystal superalloys to undergo plastic deformation, while allowing easy transfer of the friction surface in polycrystalline superalloys, leading to defects such as oxide inclusions and microcracks. Furthermore, linear friction welding of single-crystal / polycrystalline superalloys can easily generate residual stress in the joint due to the mismatch in the thermal expansion coefficients of the dissimilar alloys. Therefore, linear friction welding is not a suitable process for joining single-crystal / polycrystalline superalloys. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the high-performance bonding problem between single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys in the manufacturing of integral turbine disks for high-performance aero-engines, this invention proposes a material for bonding single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys, as well as its preparation and application methods.

[0034] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] This invention addresses the high-performance bonding problem between single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys in the manufacturing of integral turbine bladed disks. The invention proposes a bonding material and method for single-crystal and polycrystalline superalloys. The bonding material is a fully heat-treated nickel-based single-crystal superalloy prepared by directional solidification, with the directional solidification direction of the single-crystal superalloy being the

[001] direction. The polycrystalline superalloy is a powder superalloy prepared by hot isostatic pressing. The raw materials for preparing the bonding material in this invention are not limited to low-melting-point Ni-Ti alloy powder or high-melting-point Ni-based alloy powder; low-melting-point Ni-Ti alloy foil or high-melting-point Ni-based alloy foil can also be used.

[0036] The principle of the connecting materials and methods for single-crystal and polycrystalline high-temperature alloys is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a bonding material is formed using a mixture of Ni-Ti alloy powder and Ni-Cr-Co-Mo-W alloy powder. The bonding is achieved by heating in a vacuum brazing furnace under a certain pressure. During the bonding process, the Ni-Ti alloy powder melts to form a liquid phase, which forms a dense solid-liquid hybrid bonding layer with the solid Ni-Cr-Co-Mo-W alloy powder. Bonding is achieved through solid-liquid interdiffusion between the liquid phase and the high-melting-point component particles and the base material. Further isothermal diffusion homogenization yields a high-temperature alloy bonding layer with a composition and structure nearly identical to the polycrystalline high-temperature alloy base material, achieving high-performance bonding between single-crystal and polycrystalline high-temperature alloys. This invention can also be used for bonding single-crystal high-temperature alloys to other polycrystalline high-temperature alloys, such as wrought and cast high-temperature alloys.

[0037] Example 1

[0046] Step 6: Place the prepared parts to be connected into the vacuum brazing furnace, and use a mechanical pump and a diffusion pump to evacuate the brazing furnace until the vacuum level reaches 5×10⁻⁶. -3 At a temperature of Pa, heating begins at a rate of 15°C / min, reaching 1150°C. After holding at this temperature for 30 minutes, the furnace is cooled down at a rate of approximately 5-10°C / min. Once the furnace temperature has dropped to room temperature, the DD5 single-crystal high-temperature alloy and the FGH96 connector are removed.

[0047] The DD5 single-crystal high-temperature alloy and FGH96 connector obtained in step 6 were cut along the axial section. The section was mechanically polished with sandpaper, followed by electropolishing and electrolytic etching. The electropolishing solution consisted of 20 vol.% concentrated sulfuric acid and 80 vol.% methanol, with parameters of 20-30V and 20s. The electrolytic etching solution consisted of 150mL phosphoric acid, 10mL concentrated sulfuric acid, and 15g CrO3, with parameters of 3-5V and 2-3s. The microstructure of the connecting layer and the substrate was observed using a scanning electron microscope.
