Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material processing, in particular to a Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High thrust-to-weight ratio aircraft engines require components that deliver exceptional performance while also achieving maximum structural weight reduction. As a rotor component within the engine, the compressor disc's service conditions place significant demands on the disc's performance: the disc rim, connecting to the blades, operates at high temperatures and bears low loads, necessitating high creep and fracture toughness requirements; the disc core, operating at low temperatures and subject to significant centrifugal forces, places high demands on material strength, plasticity, and fatigue properties. These tailored performance requirements pose significant challenges to traditional disc manufacturing technologies.

[0003] At present, deformed high-temperature alloys (such as GH4169 alloy) are widely used as the material of high-pressure compressor discs in China. However, they have problems such as heavy weight and single performance, and have become increasingly difficult to adapt to the lightweight and efficient manufacturing requirements of engines. Therefore, the use of high-performance lightweight materials and high-efficiency tailoring structures to prepare dual-performance discs has become an urgent need in the development of compressor discs.

[0004] The lightweight intermetallic compound Ti2AlNb, with a maximum operating temperature exceeding 700°C, is a promising aerospace structural material. However, due to its low plasticity, the alloy does not meet the performance requirements of the disk core. Combining Ti2AlNb as the wheel rim material and a two-phase titanium alloy with an operating temperature of 350°C to 600°C as the disk core material to create a Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual-alloy disk can leverage the respective performance advantages of each alloy, potentially revolutionizing the structure and performance potential of disk components.

[0005] For dual-alloy disks, the dissimilar metal interface is the weakest link in the disk. Defect-free metallurgical bonding and continuous gradient transition in the connection area are key to disk development. Researchers have conducted extensive research on the fabrication of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual-alloy disks and on microstructure control and performance enhancement in the dissimilar alloy connection area. However, these efforts have failed to address the technical challenges of achieving continuous gradient transition in the dissimilar alloy connection area, limiting the engineering applications of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual-alloy disks. Researchers are constantly searching for new processes and methods for the fabrication of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual-alloy disks. Summary of the Invention

However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than limiting the claims of the present invention.

[0032] In response to the technical difficulties such as metallurgical defects in the interface bonding zone and the fault-like transition of composition and organization in the traditional process of preparing Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disks, the present application provides a method for preparing Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disks, which sequentially prepares a near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone, a near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone and a central metal cladding connection zone between the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank and the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank, and eliminates metallurgical defects such as shrinkage cavities / voids in the dual alloy metallurgical bonding zone through forging modification and heat treatment strengthening, thereby making the composition jump of the dissimilar metal interface bonding zone small and the organization performance gradient transition, solving the technical problem of "weak connection" of dissimilar alloys, and achieving high thrust ratio engine compressor disk tailoring performance and component weight reduction. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for preparing Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk, comprising the following steps:

[0033] A) designing the forging dimensions of the Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk based on the structural dimensions of the Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk, and reversely designing the forging preform dimensions of the Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk based on a preset forging deformation, wherein the forging preform dimensions include the dimensions of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, the dimensions of the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank, and the dimensions of the interface transition zone;

[0038] E) heat treating the dual alloy disk forging and then machining it to obtain a Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk;

[0039] The near-Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone, the near-(α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone and the central metal cladding connection zone are all prepared from Ti2AlNb alloy powder and (α+β)Ti alloy powder, and the ratio of the Ti2AlNb alloy powder and the (α+β)Ti alloy powder achieves a gradient transition in the interface transition zone.

[0040] In the preparation process of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk, the forging and forging preform are designed first, that is, the forging size of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk is designed according to the structural size of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk, and the forging preform size of Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk is reversely designed according to the preset forging deformation amount. The forging preform size includes the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank size, the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank size and the interface transition zone size. In this application, (α+β)Ti is specifically a two-phase titanium alloy with an operating temperature between 350℃ and 600℃, including but not limited to TC2 alloy, TC4 alloy, TC4 alloy, TC6 alloy, TC11 alloy, and TC17 alloy; in a specific embodiment, the (α+β)Ti is TC11 alloy.

[0041] The present application then prepares a near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone on the inner circumference of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, and prepares a near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone on the outer circumference of the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank; before preparing the above-mentioned near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone and the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone, the alloy powder used in the above-mentioned transition zone can be preferentially prepared; that is, the Ti2AlNb alloy powder and the (α+β)Ti alloy powder are evenly mixed according to different proportions to form powder formula A suitable for the near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone, powder formula B suitable for the central metal cladding connection zone, and powder formula C suitable for the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone; in order to achieve a gradient of the dual alloy interface Transition, the formula A consists of 65-85wt% Ti2AlNb and 15-35wt% (α+β)Ti, the formula B consists of 40-60wt% Ti2AlNb and 40-60wt% (α+β)Ti, and the formula C consists of 65-85wt% Ti2AlNb and 15-35wt% (α+β)Ti; specifically, the formula A consists of 70-80wt% Ti2AlNb and 20-30wt% (α+β)Ti, the formula B consists of 45-55wt% Ti2AlNb and 45-55wt% (α+β)Ti, and the formula C consists of 70-80wt% Ti2AlNb and 20-30wt% (α+β)Ti.

[0042] In the present application, it is preferred to use a laser / electron beam powder feeding additive manufacturing process to prepare a near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone and a near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone respectively; specifically: using a laser / electron beam powder feeding additive manufacturing process to deposit a metal cladding layer of formula A on the inner circumference of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, the size of the cladding layer should be slightly larger than the size of the near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone; similarly, depositing a metal cladding layer of formula C on the outer circumference of the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank, the size of the cladding layer should be slightly larger than the size of the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone; and then turning and finishing the cladding layer to the set size of the transition zone. In the present application, the laser / electron beam powder feeding additive manufacturing process is a manufacturing process well known to those skilled in the art, and this application does not impose any special restrictions on its specific implementation process, and it can be carried out in a manner well known to those skilled in the art.

[0043] The present application then prepares a central metal cladding connection area; prior to this, a substrate is first prepared, and the substrate is selected from Ti2AlNb alloy or (α+β)Ti alloy, which is used to achieve coaxial alignment of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank and the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank; the specific shape of the substrate can be designed in a manner familiar to those skilled in the art. In the present application, the substrate is a substrate with two raised ring platforms, wherein the inner edge of the outer raised ring platform is tightly fitted with the outer circumference of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank to achieve fixation of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, and the inner raised ring platform is located between the near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone and the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone.

[0044] This application then places the above-mentioned preform on a substrate, and then prepares a central metal cladding connection area between the near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition area and the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition area; the preparation of the central metal cladding connection area also adopts a laser / electron beam powder feeding additive manufacturing process, specifically: the laser / electron beam powder feeding additive manufacturing process is used to stack the metal cladding layer of formula B layer by layer in the central metal cladding connection area, after the cladding stacking is completed, the substrate is turned away, and the upper and lower surfaces are finish-machined to obtain a Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy forging preform.

[0045] The present invention then preheats the Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy forging preform and forges it according to a preset forging deformation, thereby obtaining a dual alloy disc forging; the forging preheating temperature is T f =T β -(15~30)℃,time t f =D max ×(0.6~0.8)min / mm; where T β is the phase transition point of (α+β)Ti alloy, D max The maximum cross-sectional thickness of the forged preform of the dual alloy disk; the preset forging deformation is 30-70%. The specific implementation of the forging is carried out in a manner well known to those skilled in the art and is not particularly limited in this application.

[0046] According to the present invention, the dual alloy disc forging is finally subjected to heat treatment, wherein the heat treatment is specifically a double annealing of high temperature annealing and low temperature annealing, wherein the temperature of the high temperature annealing is T h =T f +(5-10)℃,time t h = 1h~8h, air cooling or wind cooling, specific, t h =3h~6h; the low temperature annealing temperature T l =500℃~560℃,time t h=4h~16h, air cooling, specific, t h =6h~10h; where T f The forging preheating temperature and high-temperature annealing temperature are defined in the upper portion of the titanium alloy (α+β) phase region, allowing the titanium alloy matrix to obtain a dual-state structure with a good balance between strength and plasticity. Selecting a high-temperature annealing temperature slightly higher than the forging temperature allows the dual-state structure to have a fine secondary α strengthening phase, thereby improving the strength of the disc core. Furthermore, the forging and high-temperature annealing temperatures are located in the Ti2AlNb alloy (α2+B2+O) three-phase region, allowing the Ti2AlNb alloy matrix to obtain a structure with excellent overall performance.

[0047] The present application also provides a Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk, comprising a Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, an (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank, and an interface transition zone composited between the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank and the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank, wherein the interface transition zone comprises a Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone near the end of the Ti2AlNb alloy outer ring blank, a central metal cladding connection zone, and a (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone near the end of the (α+β)Ti alloy inner ring blank;

[0048] The near-Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone, the near-(α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone and the central metal cladding connection zone are all prepared from Ti2AlNb alloy powder and (α+β)Ti alloy powder, and the ratio of the Ti2AlNb alloy powder and the (α+β)Ti alloy powder achieves a gradient transition in the interface transition zone.

[0049] In the present application, in the radial direction, the thickness ratio of the near Ti2AlNb metal cladding transition zone, the near (α+β)Ti metal cladding transition zone and the central metal cladding connection zone is (1±0.5):(1±0.5):(1±0.5).

[0050] The preparation method of the Ti2AlNb / (α+β)Ti dual alloy disk provided in the present application optimizes the dual alloy interface fault transition of the original process into a continuous transition by designing the dual alloy interface bonding area into a multi-layer gradient transition form. On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the interface thermal stress caused by the inconsistent linear expansion coefficient of the dual alloy, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to the load transfer at the interface bonding point and avoids stress concentration. The dual alloy forging preform with the layered gradient transition interface is subjected to forging deformation. Firstly, the residual stress caused by the additive cladding in the interface bonding area can be eliminated, and metallurgical defects such as shrinkage cavities can be closed. Secondly, the columnar crystal cast structure obtained by the additive cladding can be changed into an equiaxed forging structure, thereby improving the performance level of the interface bonding area. Thirdly, the forging deformation can be carried out. Deformation promotes the fusion of components in the interface bonding zone and introduces lattice defects such as dislocations, which can provide a channel for the diffusion of elements in the interface bonding zone in the subsequent heat treatment process, which is beneficial to improving the continuity of the composition transition in the interface bonding zone; furthermore, the forging deformation temperature and the high-temperature annealing temperature are located in the upper part of the titanium alloy (α+β)Ti phase zone, which can enable the titanium alloy matrix to obtain a dual-state structure with good strength and plasticity matching, and selecting a high-temperature annealing temperature slightly higher than the forging temperature can make the dual-state structure have a fine secondary α strengthening phase, thereby improving the strength level of the disk core. At the same time, the above-mentioned forging and high-temperature annealing temperatures are located in the Ti2AlNb alloy (α2+B2+O) three-phase zone, and the Ti2AlNb alloy matrix can obtain a structure with excellent comprehensive performance.
