Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic core material design and preparation, and specifically relates to a high-yield silicon-based ceramic core for nickel-based single crystal blades and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the complexity of the air-cooled structure and the large-scale size of single-crystal high-temperature alloy hollow turbine blades have become an effective means and an inevitable trend to continue to improve the overall performance of key hot-end components of aircraft engines. With the complexity and large-scale size of advanced turbine blades, the ceramic core structure that forms its inner cavity structure has also become more complex.

[0003] During the casting process of single-crystal hollow turbine blades, residual stress is generated at the characteristic structure of the blade cavity because the alloy liquid is hindered by the complex structure of the ceramic core during directional solidification. The residual stress is released and recrystallized during the subsequent heat treatment. Since single-crystal high-temperature alloys reduce grain boundary strengthening elements, once any grain boundary and recrystallized grains perpendicular to the stress principal axis are generated, they will become weak areas of single-crystal high-temperature alloy components, forming crack sources during service in high-temperature environments, which will seriously reduce the durability and fatigue life of turbine blades, and thus affect the service life of aircraft engines.

[0004] During the development of single crystal blades, it was found that the probability of blade failure due to non-continuous structures such as surface plastic recrystallization and surface structural recrystallization on the surface reached more than 30%, which has become a barrier to the development of a new generation of aircraft engines. Therefore, in order to give full play to the potential of the mechanical properties of single crystal high-temperature alloy materials and at the same time ensure the integrity of the complex structure of single crystal blades and the continuity of material organization, it is urgent to carry out research on effective control technology for recrystallization in the blade cavity.

[0005] The high-temperature performance of the ceramic core includes high-temperature creep rate, elastic modulus, high-temperature bending strength, thermal expansion, high-temperature shrinkage, etc., which are closely related to the performance matching between the ceramic core and the metal, and also directly affect the recrystallization behavior of the blade cavity. These properties together constitute the high-temperature concession performance of the ceramic core, which includes shrinkage concession, strength concession and creep concession. If the high-temperature concession of the ceramic core is low, then during the solidification and shrinkage of the alloy liquid, it is very easy to generate internal stress in the blade cavity, which in turn causes recrystallization in the blade cavity; if the high-temperature concession of the ceramic core is high, then the excellent matching of the high-temperature performance of the ceramic core and the alloy liquid can be achieved, which can effectively alleviate the problem of recrystallization in the single crystal blade cavity. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a high-concession silicon-based ceramic core for nickel-based single crystal blades and a preparation method thereof to minimize the recrystallization of the single crystal blade cavity during the solidification process. The invention patent with application publication number CN109304424A discloses a modified silicon oxide powder and its preparation method, a ceramic core and its preparation method. The modified silicon oxide powder is a core-shell type high temperature resistant oxide coated silicon oxide powder structure, and the high temperature resistant oxide is one or more of aluminum oxide, yttrium oxide, and zirconium oxide. The preparation of the modified silicon oxide powder includes the following steps: adding silicon oxide powder particles to a high temperature resistant metal oxide sol and stirring the reaction to obtain silicon oxide powder particles after a sol bath; drying the silicon oxide powder particles after the sol bath, placing them in a ball mill for ball milling to obtain modified silicon oxide powder after one ball milling; adding the modified silicon oxide powder after one ball milling to a high temperature resistant metal oxide sol, repeating the above steps 2-3 times, and obtaining modified silicon oxide powder. Due to the coating of the sol in the modified silicon oxide powder, this technical solution enables the silicon-based ceramic core to have better high temperature resistance, but it cannot achieve the effect of improving the yieldability of the silicon-based ceramic core to avoid recrystallization in the blade cavity.
