[0061] The production method of the Inconel718 superalloy high-strength seamless pipe of the present invention is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, the specific steps include:

[0062] S1. Smelting: The cylindrical bar is cast by vacuum melting (VIM) + electroslag remelting (ESR) + vacuum annealing (VAR) triple process. The specification of the cylindrical bar is φ300mm in diameter × 910mm in length.

After upsetting, the cross section of the bar stock is filled with the reaming tube. In this embodiment, the upsetting deformation is about 38.3%, the purpose is to improve the plastic deformation capacity of the material. In this step, the inner diameter of the reaming tube is 369mm and the height is 1600mm. The bar stock specifications after upsetting are an outer diameter of φ369mm and a length of about 555mm. In this embodiment, the forging process and the billet forging process of the traditional process are omitted by replacing the forging billet with a casting billet; the plasticity is improved by the upsetting process and the forging process is reduced.

[0067] S5. Blind hole expansion; the bar material after upsetting in step S4 is subjected to blind hole expansion in the expansion tube. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the expanded bar material is 55 mm.

[0071] Specifically, the continuous hole expansion includes the following steps:

[0072] a. First, put the steel into the electric furnace at 800℃, heat it up to 950℃ at a rate of 150℃ / h, and keep it warm for 2.5h~4.5h; then transfer it to the electromagnetic induction heating furnace and heat it twice.

[0074] c. After heating the blank, evenly apply glass powder lubricant on the inner and outer surfaces and then place the blank into the reaming tube. Then place the reaming head on the blank for reaming. The reaming speed is 100mm / s~150mm / s. After the first reaming is completed, add glass powder lubricant to the blank while it is hot and carry out the second reaming. The reaming ratios of the two times are both 1.02~1.35.

[0075] The diameter of the reaming head for the first reaming is 173 mm, and the reaming ratio is 1.15. The diameter of the reaming head for the second reaming is 238 mm, and the reaming ratio is 1.33. The reaming ratio is the ratio of the area of ​​the cross section of the blank before reaming to the area of ​​the cross section after reaming.

[0076] The specific calculation of the first hole expansion ratio is:

[0077] Cross-sectional area before expansion: π×(357 / 2) 2 -π×(65 / 2) 2 =96730.84mm 2 ;

[0078] Cross-sectional area after expansion: π×(369 / 2) 2 -π×(173 / 2) 2 =83392.12mm 2 .

[0079] The specific calculation of the second hole expansion ratio is:

[0085] e. The inner wall of the extrusion barrel is heated to 220℃~360℃, and the extrusion die and mandrel are heated to 100℃~300℃;

[0086] f. After the inner and outer surfaces of the blank are coated with glass powder lubricant, it is transferred to the extrusion cylinder. The inner diameter of the extrusion cylinder is 4mm to 9mm larger than the outer diameter of the blank. A glass pad is placed at the entrance of the extrusion die. The inner diameter of the glass pad is 20mm larger than the diameter of the rough tube, and the thickness of the glass pad is 18mm.

[0087] g. Heat the prepared tail pad to 900℃~1050℃ and stick it to the tail of the billet. The tail pad is extruded together with the billet. The power system of the extruder makes the extrusion rod push the billet to move in the extrusion direction. The inner diameter of the extrusion barrel is 375mm and the length is 1500mm. The billet forward speed is 80mm / s. The inner diameter of the extrusion die is 279mm, the core rod diameter is 228mm, and the extrusion ratio of the rough pipe is 3.43. The temperature of the extruded rough pipe is above 900℃, water-cooled to below 50℃, and dried out of the water. The cold specifications of the rough pipe are diameter φ273mm×wall thickness 25mm. The extrusion ratio is uniformly calculated according to the hot size during extrusion.

[0088] The specific calculation of extrusion ratio is:

[0089] Cross-sectional area before extrusion: π×(375 / 2) 2 -π×(228 / 2) 2 =69583.185mm 2 ;

[0090] Cross-sectional area after extrusion: π×(279 / 2) 2 -π×(279 / 2-25.5) 2 =20297.745mm 2 .

The tail pad can extrude all the Inconel718 blanks into tubes, improving the material utilization rate and yield rate. At the same time, the tail pad is made of carbon steel, which is easy to saw off to reduce saw blade consumption.

Cold rolling; using a two-roller cyclic cold rolling mill for two to five passes of cold rolling, the present embodiment is two passes; the structure of the two-roller cold rolling mill is as follows Figure 8 As shown, it includes an upper roller 14, a lower roller 15 and an inner die 16. The cold rolling process of the seamless pipe is shown in FIG. Figure 8 The deformation of each pass is 30% to 55%, the feed amount is 3.0 to 5.0 mm / time, the rolling speed is 35 to 65 times / minute, and the deformation of the last pass is 30% to 40%.

[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feed rate is 3.5 mm / time, the rolling speed is 45 times / minute, and the deformation process is rough pipe diameter φ273 mm×wall thickness 25 mm-cold-rolled intermediate pipe diameter φ245 mm×wall thickness 17 mm-cold-rolled finished pipe diameter φ219 mm×wall thickness 12 mm. The finished seamless pipe 17 has an outer diameter of 219 mm, a wall thickness range of 12 mm, and an inner diameter of 195 mm. The deformation amount of the first pass is 37.5%, and the deformation amount of the second pass is 35.9%.

[0097] The specific calculation of deformation is:

[0098] The cross-sectional area corresponding to φ273×25mm is: S a =π×(273 / 2) 2 -π×(273 / 2-25) 2 =19468mm 2 ;

[0099] The cross-sectional area corresponding to φ245×17mm is:

[0100] S b =π×(245 / 2) 2 -π×(245 / 2-17) 2 =12170.64mm 2 ;

[0101] The deformation of the first cold rolling is: (S a -S b )×100% / S a =37.5%.

[0102] The corresponding cross-sectional area of ​​φ219×12mm is: Sc =π×(219 / 2) 2 -π×(219 / 2-12) 2 =7799.76mm 2 ;

[0103] The deformation of the second cold rolling is: (S b -S c )×100% / S b =35.9%;

[0104] After each cold rolling, the intermediate quality pipe must first remove the cold rolling oil in the degreasing tank, then undergo solid solution treatment, and finally be transferred to the mixed acid pickling tank for pickling to remove the oxide scale to form a finished seamless pipe 17. Specifically, the solid solution treatment is heating at 1000℃ for 2.5min~6.0min / mm, and using water as a cooling medium to achieve rapid cooling. The concentration ratio of the mixed acid in the pickling is HF: 3~6%, HNO3: 15~20%, and the rest is water. The temperature of the mixed acid solution is 40℃~65℃, and the pickling time is 35min~100min.

[0105] S12. Solution aging treatment of finished pipes; the solution process is to keep the temperature at 960℃~990℃ for 60min~90min. In this embodiment, the temperature is kept at 960℃ for 90min, and water is used as the cooling medium to achieve rapid cooling. The aging process is to keep the temperature at 720℃ for 8h, then cool to 620℃ at 50℃ / h, keep the temperature for 12h, and then air cool after leaving the furnace.

[0106] The finished products of Inconel718 super alloy high-strength seamless pipes were inspected, and the inspection data are shown in Table 2.
