Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of superalloys, and particularly relates to a nickel-based superalloy with a long high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Nickel-based superalloys were first applied in the United States as key components in the hot section of aeroengines. This alloy is a kind of superalloy with nickel as the matrix and other alloying elements added, and has high strength, good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Nowadays, nickel-based superalloys have been widely used in the manufacture of turbine blades for aeroengines and gas turbines. Turbine blades have complex shapes and are subjected to the erosion of high temperature, high pressure and high-speed gas for a long time. In addition, the strong centrifugal force generated by their own high-speed rotation will also cause various failure behaviors. In addition, during the start-up and shutdown processes of the engine, the blades are subjected to changing loads and temperatures, which cause low-cycle fatigue damage of the blades, thus causing fatigue aging. Therefore, the fatigue problem has become increasingly prominent.

[0003] With the development of aeroengines and gas turbines, higher requirements are put forward for the fatigue performance of nickel-based superalloys. There are many factors affecting the fatigue performance of nickel-based superalloys, such as internal defects and microstructures such as microvoids, carbides, residual eutectics, grain boundaries, surface defects caused by hot corrosion, coatings, crystal orientation, and external conditions. These factors will affect the stress distribution, dislocation movement, crack initiation and propagation behavior of nickel-based superalloys, thus affecting the low-cycle fatigue life of the alloy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention is made based on the inventor's discovery and understanding of the following facts and problems:

The method in the embodiments of the present invention is simple, reduces energy consumption, shortens the production cycle, improves production efficiency, and is suitable for popularization and application in industrial production.

[0021] In some embodiments, in the step (3), the temperature of the heat treatment is 740-1120°C, and the time of the heat treatment is 16-20 h. Detailed implementation manners

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The embodiments are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] The nickel-based superalloy with long high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life in the embodiments of the present invention includes: C: 0.08-0.2%, Cr: 7-10%, Co: 8.0-11%, W: 6-11%, Al: 5.2-8.0%, Ta: 2-3.6%, Mo: 0.1-1.5%, Hf: 0.6-1.8%, Ti: 0.8-2.5%, B: 0.005-0.03%, Zr: 0.001-0.08%, Mg: 0.005-0.06%, Mn: ≤0.06%, Si: ≤0.15%, Ru: 0.005-0.06%, Sr: ≤0.15%, and the balance is nickel and inevitable impurities, calculated by mass percentage.

[0024] The nickel-based superalloy with a long high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life according to the embodiments of the present invention adds elements W, Mo, and Co. Solution strengthening can improve the high-temperature strength of the alloy. In addition, by adding three γ'-phase forming elements, Al, Ti, and Ta, the alloy has nanoscale γ'-phases stably existing at 900-950°C, which has a precipitation strengthening effect. By reasonably matching grain boundary strengthening elements C, B, Zr, and Sr, the high-temperature performance and fatigue life of the alloy are significantly improved; the added element Ru is an element with a weak segregation tendency, which can effectively inhibit the precipitation of the TCP phase and is beneficial to interact with other elements to improve the mechanical properties of the alloy; the added element Sr can form dispersed intermetallic compounds during smelting, which are pinned at the grain boundaries, hinder dislocation movement, and improve the high-temperature performance and fatigue performance of the alloy; the alloy according to the embodiments of the present invention has a tensile strength of up to 1108 MPa, a yield strength of up to 845 MPa, an elongation after fracture of up to 14.7% at 950°C, a low-cycle fatigue life of up to 4900 times, no forging shrinkage holes are generated, and it has good processing performance, which can meet the requirements of the design and use of advanced aeroengines and gas turbines.

[0025] The functions of Ru and Sr in the nickel-based superalloy according to the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0026] Ru is a γ-phase stabilizing element, which stabilizes the γ in the γ+γ' eutectic and can effectively inhibit the precipitation of large primary M6C carbides generated during the slow cooling of alloy solidification and secondary M6C carbides during alloy heat treatment, which is beneficial to stabilizing the alloy structure. At the same time, Ru is an element with a very weak segregation tendency and mainly enters the γ-phase. Cooperating with other strengthening elements, the alloy can obtain stable high-temperature mechanical properties. However, as the Ru content increases, the eutectic content of the as-cast structure of the alloy will decrease, and the interdendritic distance will decrease, resulting in more difficult homogenization solution treatment. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the content of element Ru is controlled within the range of 0.01-0.06%.

[0027] The Sr element is an alloy element with better high-temperature performance, which can improve the alloy structure, prevent crack propagation, significantly improve the fatigue damage resistance of the alloy material, and can form dispersed intermetallic compounds during smelting, segregate at the grain boundaries, hinder dislocation movement, and improve the high-temperature strength of the alloy; in addition, the Sr element can also purify the alloy solution, reduce defects such as microshrinkage and hot cracks, and improve the processing performance of the alloy. However, if the Sr content is too high, brittle phases will appear at the grain boundaries, reducing the strength and elongation of the as-cast alloy. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the content of element Sr is controlled ≤0.15%.

[0028] In some embodiments, preferably, Ta, W, and Al satisfy the relational expression 1.22 ≤ Ta - 0.45W / Al ≤ 2.14, where Ta, W, and Al are the values obtained by removing the percentage sign from the mass percentage contents of elements Ta, W, and Al in the nickel-based superalloy, that is, Ta is 2 to 3.6, W is 6 to 11, and Al is 5.2 to 8.0.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present invention, defining that Ta, W, and Al satisfy the relational expression 1.22 ≤ Ta - 0.45W / Al ≤ 2.14 can give full play to the synergistic effect among Ta, W, and Al, which is beneficial to improving the high-temperature strength and fatigue life of the alloy.

[0030] In some embodiments, preferably, Mo, Ru, and C satisfy the relational expression 0.5 < 2Mo - 3Ru / C < 2.75, where Mo, Ru, and C are the values obtained by removing the percentage sign from the mass percentage contents of elements Mo, Ru, and C in the nickel-based superalloy, that is, Mo is 0.1 to 1.5, Ru is 0.005 to 0.06, and C is 0.08 to 0.2.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present invention, defining that Hf, Mg, Sr, and Ru satisfy the relational expression 0.08 < (Sr + Ru) / (Hf + Mg) < 0.23 can give full play to the synergistic effect among Hf, Mg, Sr, and Ru, making the alloy have excellent high-temperature strength, fracture toughness, and machining properties.

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] Note: High-temperature low-cycle fatigue life: The specimen was heated to 950 °C, and a high-temperature low-cycle fatigue test was carried out on a fatigue testing machine. Axial tension-compression full-reverse total strain control was adopted, and the strain rate was 4×10 -3 s -1 , the strain ratio was -1, and the maximum stress drop of 20% was used as the failure judgment basis. The number of cycles was recorded, which was the fatigue life of the specimen;

[0078] Shrinkage cavity observation: Observation was carried out under a microscope by the dissection method.

[0079] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 and Table 2 that the nickel-based superalloy prepared by controlling the content of each element in the examples of the present invention has a high-temperature tensile strength exceeding 920 MPa at 950 °C, a yield strength higher than 730 MPa, an elongation after fracture greater than 12%, a fatigue life exceeding 3800 times, no casting shrinkage cavity generated, good workability, and can meet the requirements of the design and use of aeroengines and gas turbines. When the formula 1.22 ≤ Ta - 0.45W / Al ≤ 2.14, 0.5 < 2Mo - 3Ru / C < 2.75 and 0.08 < (Sr + Ru) / (Hf + Mg) < 0.23 are satisfied, such as in Examples 1 to 4, the prepared nickel-based superalloy has better performance.

[0080] In Comparative Example 1, the Ru and Sr elements were not added to the alloy, which could not prevent crack propagation, refine grains, and had a weak grain boundary strengthening effect, resulting in a low high-temperature strength, short fatigue life of the prepared nickel-based superalloy, and the generation of casting shrinkage cavities, and could not meet the use requirements.

[0081] In Comparative Example 2, element Sr was not added. Element Sr can hinder dislocation movement and crack propagation and strengthen grain boundaries, resulting in a decrease in the high-temperature tensile strength of the alloy prepared in Comparative Example 2, and the number of cycles is only 3500 times.

[0082] In Comparative Example 3, element Ru was not added. Element Ru can stabilize the structure and inhibit the precipitation of harmful phases, resulting in a high-temperature tensile strength of only 899 MPa and an elongation of only 11.6% for the alloy prepared in Comparative Example 3.

[0083] In Comparative Example 4, the addition amount of Ru was 0.12% and the addition amount of Sr was 0.35%. Both Ru and Sr can play a role in strengthening the alloy, and the strengthening effect is more significant when they are added in combination. However, element Ru is a refractory element, and too much content will generate refractory phases during melting, affecting the homogenization of the alloy. Moreover, too much Sr is likely to generate brittle phases at grain boundaries, seriously reducing the strength and plasticity of the alloy. In Comparative Example 4, the contents of Ru and Sr are relatively high, so the high-temperature tensile strength of the prepared alloy is only 890 MPa, the elongation after fracture drops to 11.3%, the fatigue life is only 3400 times, and casting shrinkage cavities are generated.
