Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aerospace engine thrust chamber manufacturing, and in particular to a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The thrust chamber of a liquid rocket engine is an important device of the engine. The thrust chamber is mainly composed of an igniter, an injector, and a combustion chamber. The injector is generally a three-bottom two-chamber structure. The panel is located at the bottom of the injector, which plays the role of fixing the nozzle and separating the injection chamber from the combustion chamber. The gas-liquid injection, atomization, evaporation and mixing process of the rocket engine thrust chamber injector is very fast, and the flame peak is very close to the injector panel. Therefore, during the operation, the injector panel is subjected to high-temperature combustion gas of up to 3000℃ on one side and low-temperature hydrogen of -170℃ on the other side. The panel is subjected to large temperature difference stress and is very easy to warp and deform, causing ablation damage. The working environment is very harsh, and corresponding heat dissipation and thermal protection measures must be adopted to prevent the panel from warping or ablation due to excessive cold and hot temperature difference stress. Porous sweating materials are often used to manufacture panels for liquid rocket engine injectors. They are both heat-resistant materials and structural materials. They belong to forced sweating type heat-resistant structural materials. Hydrogen sweating cooling is currently widely used, and the amount of hydrogen permeation is 3%-5% of the total hydrogen flow. Most models use porous panels made of wire mesh sintering and rolling. However, with the further increase in thrust level, the risk of unstable combustion increases accordingly. In addition to adopting relevant stabilization devices or stabilization measures, high-thrust engines have further improved the requirements for panel materials. The use of alloy panels with high thermal conductivity and moderate high-temperature strength can reduce temperature gradients and thermal stresses, and perforated sweating cooling can make the thermal protection effect better. The commonly used panel material is GH3030 panel (composition: C≤0.12%; Cr: 19.0%-22.0%; Ti: 0.15%-0.35%; Al≤0.15%; Fe≤1.5%; Mn≤0.7%; Si≤0.8%; P≤0.03%; S≤0.02%; Ni is the balance), and its thermal conductivity needs to be further improved, and it is easy to have material ablation problems caused by poor heat conduction. Based on this, the present application proposes a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0012] Optionally, the step of performing atmosphere protection induction melting on the raw materials to prepare the Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank comprises:

[0013] The electrolytic copper plate is added into an induction melting furnace and heated to 1100° C.-1200° C. After the electrolytic copper plate is melted, the chromium-niobium master alloy is added, and the alloy is further heated to 1100° C.-1400° C. and refined for 10 min-40 min. The zirconium sponge is then added and cast to obtain a Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank.

[0015] Optionally, in the step of rough rolling at 850°C-950°C, the forged billet after solution heat treatment is milled and then rough rolled at 850°C-950°C, with a rolling rate of 3.0m / min-4.0m / min, and the rolling deformation is controlled to be 50%-60%.

It is obvious that the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on the structures shown in these drawings without paying any creative work.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for preparing a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel according to an embodiment of the present application;

[0025] Figure 2 This is the metallographic structure diagram of the injector panel described in Example 1 of the present application.

[0026] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for preparing a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0029] The raw materials are subjected to atmosphere protection induction melting to prepare Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blanks;

[0030] Forging the ingot blank at 850° C.-950° C. for 60 min-150 min, controlling the deformation amount of each forging to be 30%-50%, to obtain a forged blank;

[0031] After the forging blank is subjected to solution heat treatment, rough rolling is performed at 850°C-950°C to obtain a rough rolled blank; after the rough rolled blank is subjected to annealing, intermediate rolling is performed at 850°C-950°C to obtain a rolled blank;

[0032] After the rolled blank is cut into a circular blank of an injector panel, an aging heat treatment is performed, and then the blank is machined to the dimensional tolerance required by the product drawing to obtain a finished injector panel.

[0033] The present application first designs the composition of the injector panel material, and adopts Cu, Cr, Zr, and Nb as alloy components. The Cu alloy has a high thermal conductivity, and Cr and Nb can form an intermetallic compound Cr2Nb. Cr2Nb can be used as a strengthening phase to enhance the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the Cu alloy, while refining and controlling the grain size of Cu, thereby improving the high-temperature strength and thermal stability of the Cu alloy. Zr can significantly improve the strength and heat resistance of the copper alloy through solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening mechanisms. At the same time, Zr has a significant effect of refining the copper grain size in the copper alloy, and the addition of Zr can improve the existence form of the Cr-rich phase, transforming it from a short rod shape to a spherical shape, further enhancing the strength and hardness of the alloy, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the panel material. After high-temperature forging and controlling the deformation amount of each forging fire, a forging billet with a dense structure and uniform composition can be obtained, and then Solution heat treatment allows the excess phase to be fully dissolved into the solid solution to obtain a supersaturated solid solution, so as to eliminate the precipitates on the cast structure, reduce brittleness, and maintain the stability of the alloy components. After rough rolling at 850°C-950°C, intermediate rolling is performed again at 850°C-950°C. Compared with conventional cold rolling, the present application can ensure the complete occurrence of dynamic recrystallization of the metal components in the panel material, thereby improving the internal structure of the metal and improving the mechanical properties. Finally, aging heat treatment is performed to eliminate residual stress and phase change stress, thereby obtaining a Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb material panel with high thermal conductivity. The panel can be mass-produced through rolling, which is more efficient than the current single-piece forging, has high material utilization rate, and low unit cost. At the same time, the material has high high-temperature strength, uniform structure, and stable performance, which solves the material ablation problem caused by poor heat conduction of the current injector panel material. As an implementation method of the present application, in the step of performing atmosphere protection induction melting on the raw materials to prepare the Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank, the raw materials include electrolytic copper plate, chromium-niobium master alloy and zirconium sponge;

[0034] The content of niobium in the chromium-niobium master alloy is 45wt%-50wt%, and the balance is chromium.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, the electrolytic copper plate has the advantages of high purity, good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, reusability, environmental protection, strong controllability, excellent surface quality and good dimensional stability. The use of high-purity electrolytic copper plate is conducive to the preparation of copper alloys with excellent performance. The content of copper in the electrolytic copper plate used in this application is above 99.97wt%; sponge zirconium has very strong corrosion resistance. Adding sponge zirconium to copper alloys can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of copper alloys and improve the overall mechanical properties of copper alloys. The content of zirconium in the sponge zirconium used in this application is above 99.50wt%; chromium and niobium are added in the form of an intermediate alloy. Due to the high density of chromium, direct addition may lead to segregation, and chromium has a high melting point. Direct addition to copper metal may be difficult to evenly integrate due to the high melting point, while the melting point of the chromium-niobium intermediate alloy is lower than that of elemental chromium, and it is easier to melt and disperse during the alloy preparation process. Compared with the traditional material prepared by adding metal chromium and metal niobium separately, its organization is more uniform, the performance is consistent, and the comprehensive performance is excellent.

[0036] As an implementation method of the present application, the composition of the Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank includes, by mass percentage:

[0037] Cr: 0.5%-1.2%; Zr: 0.03%-0.3%; Nb: 0.01%-0.4%; Fe≤0.03%; Si≤0.01%; Al≤0.01%; O≤0.02%; Cu is the balance.

[0038] Specifically, an appropriate amount of Nb element can improve the hardness of the alloy, but as the Nb content increases, the Cr2Nb phase morphology in the alloy will change. At the same time, when the Cr content is too high, it will cause the cast grain boundary segregation of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy. Although the microhardness and tensile strength of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy will increase, the conductivity and elongation will decrease. In order to make the panel material show the best microhardness and tensile strength, this application controls the Nb content to 0.01%-0.4% and the Cr content to 0.5%-1.2%; and the increase in Zr content can significantly improve the hardness of the alloy, but at the same time, the addition of Zr will hinder the movement of electrons, resulting in a decrease in the electrical conductivity of the alloy, so this application controls the Zr content to 0.03%-0.3%. After the design of the material composition and content of this application, the obtained Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb material panel can have a high tensile strength, uniform organization, and excellent performance.

[0039] As an implementation method of the present application, the step of performing atmosphere protection induction melting on the raw materials to prepare the Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank comprises:

[0040] The electrolytic copper plate is added into an induction melting furnace and heated to 1100° C.-1200° C. After the electrolytic copper plate is melted, the chromium-niobium master alloy is added, and the alloy is further heated to 1100° C.-1400° C. and refined for 10 min-40 min. The zirconium sponge is then added and cast to obtain a Cu-Cr-Zr-Nb alloy ingot blank.

[0041] Specifically, the present application uses a vacuum induction melting furnace for smelting, and controls the refining temperature to 1100°C-1400°C, which can accurately control the chemical composition of the alloy. Active elements such as Al and Fe that have strong affinity with oxygen and nitrogen can be controlled within a very small range, which is beneficial to stabilizing the chemical composition of the alloy, avoiding impurity defects, and thus improving the chemical properties of the material.

[0042] As an implementation method of the present application, in the step of subjecting the forging blank to solid solution heat treatment, the temperature of the solid solution heat treatment is 900°C-980°C, and the temperature is kept at 1h-2h.

[0043] Specifically, when performing solution heat treatment, a resistance heating furnace is used, and the temperature is preferably set to 940°C and kept warm for 1.5 hours, and then immersed in water for cooling, so that the excess phase can be fully dissolved into the solid solution, and then immediately cooled to obtain a supersaturated solid solution, which can significantly improve the strength of the finished panel material and thereby improve the product quality of the injector panel.

[0044] As an implementable embodiment of the present application, in the step of rough rolling at 850℃-950℃, the forging billet after solution heat treatment is milled and then rough rolled at 850℃-950℃, the rolling rate is 3.0m / min-4.0m / min, and the rolling deformation is controlled to be 50%-60%.

[0045] Specifically, it is preferred to carry out rough rolling at 900°C and control the rolling deformation to 50%-60%. Compared with cold rolling treatment, it can ensure the complete occurrence of dynamic recrystallization of metal components in the panel material, thereby improving the internal structure of the metal and improving the high temperature strength of the injector panel material.

[0046] As an implementation method of the present application, in the step of annealing the rough-rolled billet, the annealing temperature is 600° C.-800° C., and the annealing time is 1 h-4 h.

[0047] In the specific implementation process, it is preferred to carry out annealing treatment at 700°C for 2.5 hours to eliminate internal stress, improve the stability and corrosion resistance of the panel, refine the grains, improve the internal structure of the metal, and thus improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of the injector panel.

[0048] As an implementable method of the present application, in the step of performing intermediate rolling at 850° C.-950° C., the rolling rate is 4.5 m / min-5.5 m / min, and the rolling deformation is controlled to be 50%-60%.

[0049] In the specific implementation process, it is preferred to carry out medium rolling at 900°C and control the rolling deformation to be 50%-60%. By rolling again, the panel material structure is ensured to be more uniform, thereby obtaining a panel material with more uniform and stable performance.

[0050] As an implementation method of the present application, in the step of performing aging heat treatment, the temperature of the aging heat treatment is 400°C-500°C, and the temperature is kept for 2h-5h.

[0051] In the specific implementation process, it is preferred to perform aging heat treatment at 450° C., which can make the microstructure of the injector panel more stable, thereby ensuring the dimensional accuracy and stability of the injector panel.

[0052] An embodiment of the present application also provides a liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel, which is obtained using the above-mentioned method for preparing the liquid rocket engine thrust chamber injector panel.
