Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of precision casting, and in particular to a method for preparing a hollow directional solidification blade. Background Art
[0002] In order to improve the temperature bearing capacity of large-sized blades, the front-stage directional solidification blades for heavy-duty gas turbines are designed with complex air cooling channels. This complex cavity needs to be prepared through a precision casting process for hollow blades without excess. A core with a complex structure is set in the wax mold, and after coating, dewaxing and roasting, a mold shell with a ceramic core is prepared. After directional solidification pouring and crystal pulling, the alloy melt is poured into the mold shell to fill the cavity formed by the wax mold, and solidified and cooled to form a blade metal blank. After the core removal treatment, the blade metal blank obtains a complex cavity with a complete shape and precise size.
[0003] Compared with the blades for aircraft engines, the size and weight of blades for heavy-duty gas turbines have increased significantly. The size and maximum wall thickness of the ceramic core for the blades are relatively large, and the wall thickness varies greatly. The thick wall of the ceramic core can reach tens of millimeters, and the thinnest part is only a few tenths of a millimeter. This structure leads to large differences in the resistance of different parts of the ceramic core to melt impact during the directional solidification production process and the physical and chemical stability of the crystal pulling process. In order to ensure that the core has sufficient strength and deformation resistance during the directional solidification and drawing process of the blade, and to prevent core breakage, core deviation, and core leakage, the core needs to be strengthened at high and low temperatures. If uniform strengthening treatment is used, it may lead to poor yielding at places with thicker ceramic core walls, the shrinkage of the alloy melt during solidification and cooling is hindered, and intergranular thermal cracks are generated in the thin walls of the blade cavity.
[0004] In order to solve the problem of excessive strength of the ceramic core and intergranular cracks in the blades, the commonly used methods are to optimize the alloy composition and improve the thermal cracking tendency of the alloy; in addition, optimizing the process and inhibiting the initiation and expansion of cracks is also a feasible way. In terms of technology, cracks can be inhibited by controlling the strength of the ceramic core, such as manufacturing a hollow ceramic core, adjusting the strengthening methods and process parameters of different parts of the ceramic core, and balancing the internal strength of the ceramic core. The above methods can indeed reduce and inhibit the occurrence of cracks, but the preparation of hollow ceramic cores is difficult and costly; the quality of the ceramic cores obtained by the balanced control of the ceramic core strength method fluctuates greatly, often resulting in batch scrapping. In addition, during the implementation of the process, the cooling rate and temperature gradient of the blade directional solidification process are increased, that is, the distance between the liquid-solid two-phase zone is reduced, the shrinkage compensation capacity of the alloy melt is improved, the initiation and expansion of cracks are inhibited, and the thermal cracking tendency of the blade is reduced.
[0005] At present, large-sized directional solidification hollow blades can be prepared by LMC and HRS processes. Due to the complexity of process equipment and the pollution of cooling metal liquid, HRS process is more widely used, and there are problems such as small temperature gradient, coarse grain structure, and large secondary dendrite wall. In view of the problem that the cooling capacity of the tip-down pouring system is insufficient and cracks are easy to occur when large-sized directional solidification hollow blades are prepared by HRS cooling process, the present invention designs a demolding stepped seeding section, which increases the contact area of the seeding section, enhances the heat dissipation of the liquid-solid front of the melt in the module through the seeding section and the water-cooled crystallizer, and sets a special-shaped heat insulation screen to reduce the radiation heat transfer from the hot zone to the cold zone, improve the temperature gradient of the crystal pulling process, inhibit the generation of cracks in the blade body, and refine the grains and improve the directional solidification structure.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are particularly adopted:
[0009] A method for preparing a hollow directional solidification blade comprises the following steps:
[0010] (1) configuring a pouring cup, a first composite wax mold, and a second composite wax mold; wherein the first composite wax mold includes an integrally extruded blade wax mold, a seeding straight section wax mold, and a seeding draft section wax mold, and the second composite wax mold includes an integrally extruded seeding step draft section wax mold and a chassis;

[0015] (6) removing the ceramic core in the second blade precursor, and then inspecting the blade grains by corrosion; when the blade grains meet the technical standards, performing heat treatment to obtain a hollow directional solidification blade.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] The present invention is aimed at large-sized complex hollow directional solidification blades. Since the conventional directional solidification process has the problems of large temperature gradient fluctuation, fast temperature drop, slow cooling speed, and easy coarse grains leading to quality defects of the blades, the present invention introduces a demolding step-type seeding section module to achieve the technical effect of refining the grains of the blades and inhibiting cracks; it is preferably combined with the casting process of the blade tip down and the special-shaped heat insulation screen that increases the local temperature gradient, which can effectively solve the coarse grain and crack problems of hollow directional solidification blades.
