Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature alloy preparation, in particular to an Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high-temperature alloy rod and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to its small thermal expansion coefficient and almost constant elastic modulus, Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high temperature alloy can effectively control the gap between the stator and the rotating parts, improve fuel efficiency, and is mainly used in parts that need to control the gap, such as aircraft engine casings. And due to the addition of 5.5% Cr, it has excellent oxidation resistance, does not have the problem of notch sensitivity caused by stress-accelerated grain boundary oxygen embrittlement, and can be used for a long time at 650℃ without a protective layer. However, the Nb content of this alloy is relatively high. In actual production, Nb segregation often leads to uneven organization and unstable performance, notch sensitivity caused by insufficient precipitation of grain boundary precipitation phase, and unqualified strength caused by incomplete elimination of primary phase. The above factors will significantly reduce the yield rate of the bar. At the same time, the Nb segregation of this alloy is difficult to eliminate. On the one hand, it will cause serious oxidation loss of the alloy bar, and on the other hand, it will lead to low production efficiency and high energy consumption of the alloy bar. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high temperature alloy rod and a preparation method thereof. The present invention effectively reduces the size and amount of the primary segregation phase through a multi-channel rapid diffusion annealing process, provides favorable conditions for the subsequent precipitation of the secondary phase, ensures that the rod has excellent strength and resistance to notch sensitivity, and reduces the oxidation loss of the alloy rod; by controlling the multi-fire upsetting process, the density of the alloy rod is improved, and a rod with 7 to 8 grade grains is obtained, the precipitation density of the secondary phase at the grain boundary is increased, and the strength of the rod is improved; through standard heat treatment, the secondary phase is uniformly distributed at the grain boundary and in the grain of the rod, and the strength and resistance to notch sensitivity and performance stability are improved; through this method, both the production efficiency can be improved and the energy consumption can be reduced, and an alloy rod with uniform structure and excellent comprehensive performance can be obtained.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] The invention provides a Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high temperature alloy bar, the chemical composition and mass percentage of which are: Ni: 23.50%-25.50%, Co: 28.00%-30.00%, Nb: 4.50%-5.20%, Ti: 0.7%-1.00%, Si: 0.20%-0.30%, P: ≤0.015%, C: ≤0.05%, B: ≤0.010%, Al: 0.30%-0.60%, Cr: 5.00%-6.00%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, further, the area percentage of the primary Laves phase of the alloy rod is 2.53% to 3.61%, the average size is 2.69μm to 3.22μm, the average size of the secondary Laves is 0.81μm to 0.85μm, and the average grain size is 25.28μm to 56.23μm; there is no notch sensitivity, the notch endurance life is higher than 100h, the room temperature yield strength is higher than 900MPa, the elongation is higher than 18%, the 650℃ yield strength is higher than 815MPa, and the elongation is higher than 20%.

[0007] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high temperature alloy rod, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) After VIM smelting process, ingots are obtained. The refining temperature of vacuum induction melting is 1520℃~1535℃ to ensure that the raw materials can be melted and prevent the crucible from increasing oxygen. The melting time is 3~4h to ensure that the raw materials can be completely melted and the oxygen and nitrogen content can be better controlled. The pouring temperature is 1485℃~1500℃ to ensure the fluidity of liquid metal during pouring. Fe, Co, Ni, and Cr elements have high oxygen partial pressures and are relatively difficult to oxidize. They also have high melting points. Therefore, they are first loaded into the furnace for melting. The charge needs to be loose at the top and tight at the bottom. The C element is added at the beginning of smelting. The addition of Nb in the refining period can achieve the best effect of removing O and N elements; Nb is a strong nitrogen-fixing element, so it is added in the refining period, and the refining time before and after the addition of Nb is more than 30 minutes to fully remove O and N; Al, Ti, and Si are added after the refining period to prevent burning, and the power needs to be turned off before adding to form a film; Due to the smelting under vacuum environment, the vapor pressure of B is high and it is easy to volatilize, so argon gas needs to be added when B is added, and the gas pressure of argon gas should be higher than the vapor pressure of B, and it is selected to be added in the form of B-Fe master alloy in the later stage of alloying;

[0009] (2) Multi-channel rapid diffusion annealing process: The ingot is subjected to a tempering free forging to break up the dendrites and primary Laves phase and introduce a large number of diffusion channels. It is then heated to 1180-1200°C and kept at this temperature for 10-30 hours to reduce the size and amount of the primary segregation phase, providing favorable conditions for the subsequent precipitation of the secondary phase, ensuring that the rod has excellent strength and resistance to notch sensitivity, while reducing the oxidation loss of the alloy rod;

[0010] (3) Upsetting and drawing process: The upsetting and drawing temperature is 1035-1100℃, and the deformation amount per pass is >50% to improve the density of the alloy rod and obtain rods with 7-8 grains, increase the precipitation density of the secondary phase at the grain boundary and improve the strength of the rod; the surface temperature is lower than 800℃ and then reheated to prevent cracking of the ingot surface, and then air cooled;

[0011] (4) Standard heat treatment process: heat the forged rod to 1090-1100℃ and keep it for 0.5-2h, and air cool it to release the residual stress and avoid the precipitation of needle-like phase; then heat it to 710-730℃ and keep it for 5-10h, cool it to 610-630℃ and keep it for 5-10h, and air cool it to promote the full precipitation of the intragranular strengthening phase γ' phase to ensure that the alloy has high strength, as well as the dispersed precipitation of the secondary phase at the grain boundary to ensure that the alloy is not notch sensitive and has high plasticity.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, further, the forging temperature of the first tempering free forging described in step (2) is 1040-1060°C, the deformation amount per pass is ≥40%, and the surface temperature is lower than 800°C for furnace heating.

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, further, in step (2), the heating temperature is controlled at 1189-1195° C., and the insulation time is controlled at 12-24 h.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, further, the number of upsetting and drawing in step (3) is 3 to 4 times, the upsetting deformation is 20 to 35%, and the drawing deformation is 25 to 45%.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, further, the specific process of step (4) is: heating the forged rod to 1093°C and keeping it warm for 1 hour, air cooling, then heating it to 720°C and keeping it warm for 8 hours, cooling it to 620°C with the furnace and keeping it warm for 8 hours, and air cooling.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0017] The preparation method of the Fe-Ni-Co based low expansion high temperature alloy rod of the present invention effectively reduces the size and quantity of the primary segregation phase through a multi-channel rapid diffusion annealing process, provides favorable composition conditions for the subsequent precipitation of the secondary phase, ensures that the rod has excellent strength and notch sensitivity resistance, and reduces the oxidation loss of the alloy rod; by controlling the multi-fire upsetting process, the density of the alloy rod is improved, and a rod with 7-8 grade grains is obtained, the precipitation density of the secondary phase at the grain boundary is increased, and the strength of the rod is improved; through standard heat treatment, the secondary phase is evenly distributed at the grain boundary and in the grain of the rod, and the strength and notch sensitivity resistance and performance stability are improved.
