Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of casting single-crystal high-temperature alloy technology, and particularly relates to a method for cutting high-temperature alloy seed crystals. Background Technology
[0002] Nickel-based single-crystal superalloys are widely used in hot-end components of aero-engines and gas turbines due to their excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. Since single-crystal components lack grain boundaries, they consist of only a single grain. The mechanical properties of single-crystal superalloys exhibit significant anisotropy, including elastic anisotropy and yield anisotropy. Industrially used single-crystal blades have an axial orientation close to
[001] , but considering the complex geometry and internal structure of the blades, the stress state during service is often very complex, and the material orientation under localized stress often varies greatly. Furthermore, temperature differences in different regions of the blade during service can also lead to localized thermal stress acting on different material orientations. Therefore, studying the mechanical properties of single-crystal superalloys with different orientations is crucial for evaluating the service condition of blades.
[0003] Studies have shown that alloy CMSX-4 exhibits significant creep anisotropy at 950℃, with creep life decreasing sequentially from
[111] ,
[001] , to
[011] . The elastic modulus of alloy DD6 gradually increases from
[001] ,
[011] to
[111] . Conventional experiments only study the properties of specific orientations, such as
[001] ,
[011] , and
[111] orientations. However, in reality, the mechanical properties of single-crystal superalloys show significant differences with even small changes in orientation. One study plotted the creep life of MARM200 single-crystal superalloy at 760℃ in an inverse pole figure, finding that the creep life of the single crystal is closely related to the material's orientation position in the inverse pole figure. Samples with an orientation 10° away from
[001] in the inverse pole figure showed significant differences in creep life. The standard for controlling the orientation of single-crystal blades is usually that the orientation of the blade axis deviates from
[001] by less than 15°. Without requirements on the blade orientation position in the inverse pole figure, blades with orientation deviations less than 15° may exhibit significantly different creep performance. Therefore, a method is needed to precisely control the orientation position of single-crystal blades in the inverse pole figure. This can be achieved by growing blades that meet the requirements using a seed crystal method. The most crucial step is how to accurately cut seed crystals of various orientations in the inverse pole figure.
[0004] The invention disclosed in CN104846441A is a method for cutting and preparing nickel-based single-crystal alloy seed crystals for casting. It proposes that seed crystals with specific orientations of
[001] ,
[011] and
[111] can be cut by combining an X-ray stress measuring instrument. However, it does not propose a specific method for cutting seed crystals with arbitrary crystal orientations.
[0005] The invention disclosed in CN113232176B is a seed crystal cutting device and method for casting single crystal high-temperature alloys with different crystal orientations. It proposes to use different angles in an X-ray diffractometer to cut seed crystals with specific orientations of
[001] ,
[011] and
[111] through specific tooling, but does not propose a cutting method for cutting seed crystals with specific orientations in the inverse pole figure.
[0006] The invention disclosed in CN 114622270 A is a method for preparing single-crystal high-temperature alloy test bars. It proposes to use
[001] oriented seed crystals and use simple tooling to complete the preparation of test bars with arbitrary orientations such as
[011] and
[111] . However, it does not propose a cutting method for cutting specific orientation seed crystals in the inverse pole figure. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Therefore, the high-temperature alloy seed crystal cutting method provided by this invention first prepares a near-
[001] oriented single crystal test plate with spatial operation conditions. Based on the position of the specific orientation point of the seed crystal to be prepared in the inverse pole figure, the orientation angles θ and φ are calculated. Then, θ and φ are used to... The angle is converted to the corresponding angle in the Laue method and then, after the precise
[001] direction is calibrated using a diffractometer and a three-axis rotating fixture, the seed crystal with a specific orientation in the inverse pole figure is cut using the calculated angle; among which,
[0009] θ = 45h / a°, where a is the distance between point
[001] and point
[011] in the inverse polar diagram, and h is the distance between a specific orientation point and point
[001] in the inverse polar diagram; α is the angle between the line connecting a specific orientation in the inverse pole figure and
[001] and the line connecting
[001] and
[011] .
[0010] This invention employs a single-crystal test plate with specific preparation conditions and utilizes a tooling that can rotate in three directions to cut seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in the inverse pole figure. Simultaneously, the rotation angle during single-crystal cutting corresponds to the angle in the existing general standard—"Laue Method for Determining Crystal Orientation." This allows for the rapid and convenient cutting of seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in the inverse pole figure. The method is simple to operate, low in cost, and produces seed crystals with high orientation accuracy, thereby improving the production efficiency of large batches of seed crystals with different orientations and contributing to the preparation of single-crystal blades with specific orientations.

[001] is consistent with the direction of the diffractometer light source, that is, parallel to the Z-axis of the three-axis rotatable fixture.
[0015] S4. Based on the position of the specific orientation point of the seed crystal to be prepared in the inverse pole figure, calculate the orientation angle θ and... number of angles;
[0016] S5. According to the conversion formulas (1) and (2), convert θ and θ obtained in step S4 into the following values. Converted to angles in an X-ray diffractometer, where:
[0017]
[0018]
[0019] Then, rotate the single crystal test plate around the X-axis of the fixture by an angle γ in sequence, and then rotate it around the Y-axis of the fixture by an angle δ.
[0020] S6. Then, the single crystal sample plate is cut perpendicular to the direction of the diffractometer light source to form a cutting plane;
[0021] S7. Place the cut single crystal test plate on the wire cutting workbench, ensuring that the molybdenum wire of the wire cutting is perpendicular to the cutting plane formed by cutting the single crystal test plate in step S6, and cut out the seed crystal of the required size.
[0022] S8. Polish the cross-section of the cut seed crystal and test and confirm the accuracy of the orientation.
[0023] Specifically, in step S6, after marking the single crystal test plate with a line parallel to the direction of the diffractometer light source, the single crystal test plate is cut using wire cutting, wherein the wire cutting direction is perpendicular to the marking line.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: using a single crystal test plate with preparation conditions and a tooling that can rotate in three directions, the seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in the inverse pole figure can be cut. At the same time, the rotation angle during single crystal cutting corresponds to the angle in the existing general standard - "Loue Method for Determining Crystal Orientation", which can quickly and conveniently cut seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in the inverse pole figure.

The angle is converted into the corresponding angle in the Laue method and then the precise
[001] direction is determined using a diffractometer and a three-axis rotating fixture. The seed crystal with a specific orientation in the inverse pole figure is then cut using the calculated angle.
[0035] This invention employs a single-crystal test plate with specific preparation conditions and utilizes a three-axis rotatable fixture to cut seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in an inverse pole figure. The rotation angle during single-crystal cutting corresponds to the angles in the existing universal standard—"Laué Method for Determining Crystal Orientation." This allows for the rapid and convenient cutting of seed crystals of arbitrary orientation in the inverse pole figure. The method is simple to operate, low in cost, and provides high orientation accuracy for the prepared seed crystals, improving the production efficiency of large batches of seed crystals with different orientations and contributing to the preparation of single-crystal blades with specific orientations.

[0039] See Figure 3 On the cross-section of the prepared single-crystal test plate, secondary dendrites can be observed to form a cross shape, with the cross directions pointing towards the
[100] and
[010] crystal orientations, respectively. To cut a seed crystal that meets the requirements and considering the thickness of the single-crystal test plate itself, the angle between one of the secondary dendrite directions and the width direction of the single-crystal test plate should be approximately [missing information]. Its angular deviation depends on the thickness of the single crystal plate and the length of the seed crystal.
