Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aerospace materials technology, and relates to a powder high-temperature alloy turbine disk for aero-engines and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Turbine disks are one of the most critical core hot-end components in aero-engines, requiring long-term stable operation under high temperature, high speed, high load, and complex oxidation and corrosion environments. Due to the high-temperature alloys prepared by powder metallurgy technology, characterized by high alloying degree, uniform microstructure, fine grains, and absence of macroscopic segregation, powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks have become the preferred material for high thrust-to-weight ratio aero-engine turbine disks. Currently, the application of third-generation materials to powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks has reached a point where these materials are being developed and applied. With the continuous increase in the thrust-to-weight ratio of advanced aero-engines, turbine inlet temperatures are constantly rising, correspondingly requiring powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks to have higher temperature resistance. Identifying the temperature characteristics of the service environment of engine turbine disks reveals that the disk rim contacts high-temperature exhaust gases, resulting in a high operating temperature, thus requiring excellent high-temperature creep resistance; the disk core operates at a relatively lower temperature but bears greater centrifugal stress, therefore the core region requires higher strength.

[0003] To meet the performance requirements of different regions of turbine disk components, dual-performance turbine disk fabrication technology has emerged. Currently, research on dual-performance turbine disk fabrication technology mainly focuses on two techniques:

[0004] 1. Single-alloy dual-structure-dual-performance disk preparation technology: The disk blank is made from the same alloy. Then, by controlling the gradient heat treatment, a temperature gradient is established from the disk edge to the disk core during the solution treatment. This results in the disk edge region obtaining coarse grains, thus giving the disk edge region good creep performance; the disk core region obtaining fine grains, thus giving the disk core region good yield strength.

[0005] 2. Dual-alloy dual-structure dual-performance disk preparation technology: This involves selecting a durable, creep-resistant coarse-grained alloy for the disk rim and a high-strength fine-grained alloy for the disk core. The two alloys are then joined together by methods such as welding, hot isostatic pressing, or superplastic forging to create a dual-performance disk.

[0006] However, practical experience has revealed that the single-alloy dual-structure dual-performance disk preparation technology faces challenges in temperature gradient control, including high technical difficulty, complex process control, high cost, low repeatability, and grain mixing and uneven transition in the transition zone between coarse and fine grain regions. Furthermore, the dual-alloy dual-structure dual-performance disk preparation technology also suffers from the presence of a "weak connection" region in the bonding area between the two alloys, which makes this area highly susceptible to cracking, leading to turbine disk rupture and failure, and consequently affecting engine safety.

[0007] In order to ensure the quality and life of the turbine disk and reduce the introduction of large-sized particle inclusions, after research and testing, the upper limit of the particle size of high-temperature alloy powder is currently limited to 58μm. Due to the particle size distribution characteristics of the powder making technology, about 40% (by weight) of large coarse powder after sieving cannot be used, and ultimately form high-temperature alloy coarse powder return material, which further increases the production and manufacturing cost of powder high-temperature alloy turbine disks.

[0008] Based on the above analysis, due to the immaturity of the technological approach and the inability to effectively utilize idle coarse powder return materials, existing technologies cannot achieve low-cost and efficient preparation of dual-performance powder superalloy turbine disks. Therefore, exploring alloy composition design and inventing a dual-alloy single-structure dual-performance powder superalloy turbine disk for aero-engines and its low-cost preparation method has significant practical value and application significance. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks for aero-engines, so as to prepare powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disks for aero-engines at low cost and obtain turbine disks with superior performance.

[0010] To achieve this objective, in a basic implementation, the present invention provides a method for preparing a powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy turbine disk for aero-engines, the method comprising the following steps in sequence:

[0011] (1) Alloy preparation powder filling: The cylindrical casing is divided into three regions from the inside to the outside by two layers of partitions, and three different alloy preparation powders are filled in the innermost region 1 with a circular cross-section, the middle region 2 with a circular cross-section, and the outer region 3 with a circular cross-section. The alloy preparation powder filled in region 2 contains Re element, and the alloy preparation powder filled in region 3 contains Ru element.

[0012] (2) Preparation of hot isostatic pressing billet: The cladding after removing the partition is successively subjected to cladding sealing welding, preheating, hot isostatic pressing and mechanical processing to remove the cladding to obtain hot isostatic pressing billet;

[0013] (3) Preparation of forging blank: The hot isostatic pressing blank is heated and held at a certain temperature, and then forged and annealed to obtain the forging blank;

[0014] (4) Preparation of integral forgings: The forging blank is subjected to solution treatment and two-stage aging treatment to obtain integral forgings;

[0015] (5) Machining: The integral forging is machined to remove the area formed by hot isostatic pressing and heat preservation forging of the alloy powder filling in area 1, and finally obtain the powder high temperature alloy turbine disk for aero-engine.

[0016] In this invention, Re and Ru are both matrix elements. The main components of the powders filled in regions 2 and 3 are similar, with only Re and Ru being different. Therefore, after being processed by the same process, the alloy grains formed in regions 2 and 3 are consistent, and the transition at the region connection is smooth. Consequently, the addition of Re element powder will result in the prepared alloy having better yield strength in the disk core region, and the addition of Ru element powder will result in the prepared alloy having better creep performance in the disk edge region.

[0072] In step (6), the solution temperature is 1000-1200℃, the heating rate is 100℃ / h-300℃ / h, the holding time is 1-4h, and then quenching is performed with quenching oil; the first-stage aging temperature is 800-1000℃, the heating rate is 100℃ / h-300℃ / h, the holding time is 1-4h, and furnace cooling is performed after the holding time is completed; the second-stage aging temperature is 500-800℃, the heating rate is 100℃ / h-300℃ / h, the holding time is 4-12h, and furnace cooling is performed after the holding time is completed.

The turbine disk edge has good high-temperature creep performance, and the turbine disk core has high tensile strength.

[0074] The following are examples of applications of the above-described exemplary method for preparing powder high-temperature alloy turbine disks for aero engines.

[0075] Example 1: Preparation Example

[0076] Step 1: Select high-temperature alloy powder of type 1 with a particle size of 105-1000 μm, and its composition (mass percentage) is: Cr 11.0%, Co 19.0%, Mo 3.5%, Ta 2.4%, W 2.1%, Al 3.0%, Nb 0.5%, Ti 3.0%, C 0.02%, B 0.01%, Zr 0.02%, and balance Ni; select high-temperature alloy powder of type 2 with a particle size of 0.01-53 μm, and its composition (mass percentage) is: Cr 11.0%, Co 19.0%, Mo 3.5%, Ta 2.4%, W 2.1%, Al 3.0%, Nb 0.5%, Ti 3.0%, C 0.02%, B 0.01%, Zr 0.02%, Re The high-temperature alloy powder of type 3, with a particle size of 0.01-53 μm, was selected. Its composition (mass percentage) was: Cr 11.0%, Co 19.0%, Mo 3.5%, Ta 2.4%, W 2.1%, Al 3.0%, Nb 0.5%, Ti 3.0%, C 0.02%, B 0.01%, Zr 0.02%, Ru 1.9%, and the balance Ni. A total of 100 kg of type 1 high-temperature alloy powder, 200 kg of type 2 high-temperature alloy powder, and 300 kg of type 3 high-temperature alloy powder, totaling 600 kg, were prepared and stored in a vibratory packaging and filling machine. Subsequent packaging and filling were carried out through independent conveying pipelines.

[0077] Step 2: Design and process the sleeve, sleeve cover and sleeve annular partition, where D1 is 100mm, D2 is 200mm, D3 is 400mm, and the sleeve wall thickness is 15mm.

[0078] Step 3: Pre-install the cover and annular partition of the packaging sleeve in the telescopic sling. Install and fix the packaging sleeve in the designated position of the vibratory packaging filling machine. Control the telescopic sling to lower the packaging sleeve cover into the designated position of the packaging sleeve vibrator. Move the powder feeding pipe to align it with the powder receiving port of the packaging sleeve cover. Control the telescopic sling to lower the annular partition of the packaging sleeve into the designated position, thus physically isolating the three areas. Turn on the vibratory packaging filling machine to transport powder by area. Type 3 high-temperature alloy powder enters area 3 through the powder feeding pipe and the powder receiving port, Type 2 high-temperature alloy powder enters area 2 through the powder feeding pipe and the powder receiving port, and Type 1 high-temperature alloy powder enters area 1 through the powder feeding pipe and the powder receiving port.

The connection between the shroud cover and the shroud cover sling is disconnected, the shroud cover is tightened, and the annular partition is moved up by the sling to separate it from the shroud; then, plasma arc welding is used to weld and seal the high-temperature alloy block plug and the gap at the powder inlet, as well as the connection between the shroud and the shroud cover.

[0079] Step 4: Preheat the sealed cladding to 1000℃ at a heating rate of 100℃ / h and hold for 4 hours. Then, perform hot isostatic pressing (HIP) on the preheated cladding at 1100℃ at a heating rate of 100℃ / h, a pressure of 180MPa, and a holding time of 4 hours. After HIP and cooling, machine the cladding, removing the third-stage powder receiving port and the outer skin to obtain a bi-alloy single-structure, bi-performance powder superalloy HIP billet. The billet contains three regions: region 3 is formed by filling with type 3 superalloy powder, region 2 by filling with type 2 superalloy powder, and region 1 by filling with type 1 superalloy powder. Specific zoning can be found in the reference [reference needed]. Figure 3 .

[0080] Step 5: The hot isostatic pressed billet is subjected to isothermal forging. The heating process in the preheating furnace is as follows: the temperature is increased to 400℃ at a heating rate of 100℃ / h and held for 2 hours; the temperature is further increased to 1150℃ at a heating rate of 100℃ / h and held for 6 hours; the temperature of the isothermal forging equipment is 1150℃. After the preheating treatment of the hot isostatic pressed billet is completed, the hot isostatic pressed billet is transferred to the isothermal forging equipment for isothermal forging. The transfer time is 20 seconds, the average reduction rate is 0.5 mm / s, and the total deformation is 75%. The forged billet is transferred out of the isothermal forging equipment and air-cooled to room temperature. After cooling, annealing is performed. The annealing process is as follows: the temperature is increased to 750℃ at a heating rate of 100℃ / h and held for 2 hours; the temperature is decreased to 250℃ at a cooling rate of 100℃ / h, and then air-cooled to room temperature. The resulting isothermal forging billet and the composition of each region are shown in the figure. Figure 4 .

[0081] Step 6: Perform solution treatment and two-stage aging on the isothermal forging blank. Set the solution temperature to 1100℃, the heating rate to 100℃ / h, and the holding time to 4h. Then quench it with quenching oil to room temperature. Set the first-stage aging temperature to 800℃, the heating rate to 100℃ / h, and the holding time to 4h. After holding, furnace cool to room temperature. Set the second-stage aging temperature to 500℃, the heating rate to 100℃ / h, and the holding time to 8h. After holding, furnace cool to room temperature.

[0082] Step 7: Based on the deformation dimension data from the forging simulation software, determine the dimensional information of region 1 after deformation. Then, machine the entire forging, removing the area formed by the powder deformation of region 1 through hot isostatic pressing and isothermal forging. The final product is a single-structure, dual-performance powder superalloy turbine disk. The machining area and the disk's regional composition within the blank are illustrated in the diagram. Figure 4 .

[0083] Example 2: Controlled Preparation Example

[0084] The composition (mass percentage) of the high-temperature alloy powders of types 1, 2, and 3 is as follows: Cr 11.0%, Co 19.0%, Mo 3.5%, Ta 2.4%, W 2.1%, Al 3.0%, Nb 0.5%, Ti 3.0%, C 0.02%, B 0.01%, Zr 0.02%, and the balance Ni. The particle size of the high-temperature alloy powder of type 1 is 105-1000 μm, that of type 2 is 0.01-53 μm, and that of type 3 is 0.01-53 μm. The rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0085] Example 3: Detection Example

[0086] Metallographic, core tensile yield, and edge creep properties tests were performed on the turbine disks prepared in Examples 1 and 2, respectively (tensile yield property test according to GB / T 228.2 Metallic materials, tensile testing—Part 2: High temperature test method; creep property test according to GB / T 2039), and the resulting grain structures were as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the tensile yield properties are as follows Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, the creep properties are as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0087] Figure 5 The left image shows the grain structure of region 1 (filled with powder without Re or Ru) of the disk obtained in Example 1, the middle image shows the grain structure of region 2 (filled with powder with Re added), i.e., the disk core region, of the disk obtained in Example 1, and the right image shows the grain structure of region 3 (filled with powder with Ru added), i.e., the disk edge region, of the disk obtained in Example 1. Figure 5 This indicates that the grains prepared by adding Re and Ru fine powders respectively have the same grain size and the grain boundaries are coarsened.

[0088] Figure 6 Table 1 shows that the tensile strength and yield strength of the disk core alloy formed by adding Re to the powder (Example 1) are higher than those of the disk core alloy formed by not adding Re to the powder (Example 2).

[0089] Table 1

[0090]

[0091] Figure 7 The results show that the creep resistance of the disk rim alloy formed by adding Ru to the powder (Example 1) is higher than that of the disk rim alloy formed by not adding Ru to the powder (Example 2). Specifically, the disk rim alloy formed by adding Ru to the powder (Example 1) reaches 0.2% strain in 223 hours, while the disk rim alloy formed by not adding Ru to the powder (Example 2) reaches 0.2% strain in 158 hours. Thus, adding Ru to the disk rim will extend the time to reach the same creep deformation by 41.1% compared to not adding Ru to the disk rim.

[0092] In summary, the turbine disk prepared by this invention is a single-structure, dual-performance powder high-temperature alloy turbine disk with uniform grains, coarsened grain boundaries, better high-temperature creep performance at the disk edge, and higher strength at the disk core.
