Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of alloy preparation, and in particular to a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] High-temperature alloy is a material that can be used for a long time in high temperature and high stress environment. It has good anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion and high strength properties. Therefore, it is widely used in aerospace, energy and chemical industries. For example, 718 high-temperature alloy plays an important role in the manufacture of aircraft engines, gas turbines, chemical containers and pipelines due to its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. In addition, 718 alloy is also widely used in the mold industry, such as injection molds and die-casting molds. The mold material needs to work for a long time under high temperature and high pressure, which places extremely high demands on the hardness, fatigue resistance and service life of the material.

[0003] However, the existing 718 high-temperature alloy has some obvious shortcomings. First, the hardness of ordinary 718 alloy is relatively low, usually only between 42 and 45HRC, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high-strength and high-hardness application scenarios, such as the manufacture of hot working punches, and its service life is usually less than 300 times. Secondly, the proportion of certain components of the existing 718 alloy limits the potential of its strengthening mechanism. For example, the total content of its strengthening elements Al+Ti+Nb is about 7.3%, and the strengthening effect is limited; at the same time, the control of the C content in the alloy is not precise enough, and segregation phases such as NbC are easily formed, resulting in the appearance of "black spot" defects, which in turn affects the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the material. In addition, the hot working temperature range of the 718 alloy is wide, but the hot working plasticity is insufficient, which increases the difficulty of the yield rate, especially in the manufacturing process, problems such as cracks and grain growth are prone to occur.

[0004] To solve the above problems, researchers have tried to improve the performance of 718 alloy by optimizing alloy composition and preparation process in recent years. For example, by increasing the content of strengthening elements (such as Al, Nb, Co) to increase the amount of γ′ and γ″ phases in the alloy, the high temperature strength and hardness of the material can be significantly improved. However, this composition optimization usually brings other challenges, such as an increased tendency to form Laves phase, resulting in decreased impact performance. In addition, high-strength and high-hardness materials have higher deformation resistance during processing, and processing plasticity is significantly reduced, further increasing manufacturing costs and process complexity.

[0005] In summary, the existing technology still has many bottlenecks in the development and preparation of high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloys, including insufficient hardness, unbalanced mechanical properties, difficulty in processing, and poor high-temperature stability. There is an urgent need for a new high-temperature alloy composition system and its preparation process to ensure the high strength and high hardness of the material while taking into account its processing performance and high-temperature fatigue resistance to meet the demand for high-performance alloy materials in modern industrial applications. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy to solve the problems of insufficient strength and hardness, poor hot working performance and short durability of conventional similar alloys in the prior art.

[0007] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, characterized in that its components by weight percentage include:

[0008] C: 0.02-0.05%, Si: 0-0.1%, Mn: 0-0.1%, S: 0-0.015%, P: 0-0.015%, Cr: 17.5-18.5%, Fe: 0-10.0%, Al: 1.6-1.8%, Co: 4.0-4.5%, Ti: 0.75-1.15%, Nb: 5.6-5.8%, B: 0-0.006%, Mg: 0-0.01%, and the balance is Ni and unavoidable impurities.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy provided by the present application has the following advantages: on the basis of the existing 718 alloy, the content of strengthening elements such as Al, Nb, and Co is significantly increased by precisely controlling the alloy composition. The increase in the Al and Nb content increases the number of γ′ and γ″ strengthening phases in the alloy, thereby enhancing the solid solution strengthening and aging strengthening effects, and further improving the strength and hardness of the alloy. At the same time, by controlling the C content at a lower level (0.02-0.05%), the generation of NbC is effectively reduced, the probability of the occurrence of "black spot" defects is reduced, and the purity and uniformity of the material are improved; by further controlling the content of Al, Nb and Co, the strength and hardness of the alloy are synergistically improved: the Al content is increased to 1.6-1.8%, which strengthens the formation of the γ′ phase, inhibits the precipitation of the δ phase, and improves the mechanical properties of the alloy; the Nb content is increased to 5.6-5.8%, which increases the number of γ″ phases and improves the high-temperature strength and hardness; the Co content is increased to 4.0-4.5%, which helps to stabilize the γ′ strengthening phase, inhibit its coarsening, improve creep performance and thermal strength performance, and make the material have more stable deformation resistance in high temperature environment; by strictly controlling the content of impurity elements such as P, S, B, Mg, especially controlling P and S to less than 0.015%, B to less than 0.006%, and Mg to less than 0.01%, the purity of the material is significantly improved, the influence of inclusions is reduced, and the hot processing plasticity and comprehensive performance are improved. Compared with existing conventional alloys, the high-temperature alloy of the present invention has improved hardness and strength while maintaining good processing plasticity, especially has stronger stability and corrosion resistance at high temperature, and is suitable for high-temperature component applications in the fields of aerospace, energy equipment and chemical industry.

[0010] In one possible embodiment, the composition includes by weight percentage: C: 0.025-0.035%, Si: 0-0.08%, Mn: 0-0.05%, S: 0-0.010%, P: 0-0.010%, Cr: 17.7-18.0%, Fe: 0-9.0%, Mo: 2.80-3.20%, Co: 4.20-4.40%, Al: 1.70-1.90%, Ti: 0.95-1.10%, Nb: 5.60-5.80%, B: 0.003-0 .006%, Mg: 0-0.010%, Ni: 56.50-58.50%, the impurity components include: Cu: 0-0.1%, Ca: 0-0.005%, Bi: 0-0.00003%, Sn: 0-0.005%, Pb: 0-0.0005%, Ag: 0-0.0005%, Se: 0-0.0003%, Te: 0-0.00005%, Tl: 0-0.0001%, H: 0-5ppm, O: 0-50ppm, N: 0-50ppm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the above technical scheme is adopted to further refine the alloy composition, especially under the precise control of strengthening elements such as C, Al, Nb and Co, which significantly improves the mechanical properties and high temperature stability of the alloy. By optimizing the C content (0.025-0.035%), the formation of carbides is reduced, black spot defects are effectively avoided, and the surface quality of the alloy is improved. At the same time, the content of Al (1.70-1.90%) and Nb (5.60-5.80%) is moderately increased, the formation of γ' and γ" phases is enhanced, the solid solution strengthening and aging strengthening effects of the alloy are improved, and the hardness and high temperature fatigue resistance of the alloy are further improved. The increase of Co (4.20-4.40%) effectively enhances the stability of the γ' phase of the alloy and inhibits its growth, thereby improving the creep performance and thermal strength performance of the alloy and extending the service life of the material. In addition, by precisely controlling the content of impurity elements such as S, P, H and O, the negative impact of harmful elements on the alloy performance is reduced, and the corrosion resistance and processing performance of the alloy are further improved.

[0012] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, so as to solve the problems of insufficient strength at high temperature, low hardness, severe segregation and inclusions existing in the alloys prepared by conventional preparation methods in the prior art.

[0013] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, a method for preparing the high-strength and high-hardness high-temperature alloy is provided, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0014] S1: Mix the raw materials according to the composition ratio of the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, perform vacuum induction smelting, then pour molten steel and vacuum consumable remelting to obtain a steel ingot, wherein the refining temperature of the vacuum induction smelting is 1580±10°C, and the refining time is ≥60min;

[0015] S2: subjecting the steel ingot obtained in step S1 to heating forging, solution treatment and aging treatment to obtain a vacuum induction electrode;

[0016] S3: The vacuum induction electrode obtained in step S2 is subjected to lathing, vacuum consumable remelting, homogenization treatment and reheating and forging treatment to obtain a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, wherein the melting rate of the vacuum consumable remelting is 3 kg / min.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the preparation method of a high-strength and high-hardness high-temperature alloy provided by the present application has the following advantages: in step S1, by accurately controlling the process conditions of vacuum induction smelting, especially controlling the temperature at 1580±10℃ during the refining period, and the refining time ≥60min, the high purity of the molten steel is ensured, the harmful impurities and inclusions in the molten steel are effectively removed, and the performance stability of the alloy is further improved. In step S3, the vacuum consumable remelting process adopts a short arc melting technology with a melting rate of 3kg / min, combined with high vacuum conditions, to effectively remove residual gas and high vapor pressure impurities, reduce the segregation and inclusion defects of the ingot, and significantly improve the uniformity of the crystal structure. At the same time, by controlling the short arc melting of the droplet, the density and organizational stability of the ingot are enhanced. By optimizing the composition design and process control, the technical problems of the existing high-temperature alloys at high temperatures, such as insufficient strength, low hardness, severe segregation, and many inclusions, are solved, providing a high-temperature alloy material with excellent performance and controllable cost for high-end fields such as aerospace, energy, and chemical industry, with broad industrial application prospects.

[0018] In a possible implementation, in step S1, the conditions of the vacuum induction smelting are: the vacuum degree in the preheating period is controlled at ≤50Pa, the vacuum degree in the raw material melting period is controlled at ≤20Pa, and the vacuum degree in the refining period is ≤1.0Pa.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution can be used to gradually reduce the vacuum degree (preheating period ≤50Pa, melting period ≤20Pa, refining period ≤1.0Pa) in the vacuum smelting process, which can effectively remove gas impurities such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in the raw materials. Especially when the vacuum degree is controlled at ≤1.0Pa in the refining stage, it is helpful to further reduce the oxygen content and nitrogen content in the molten steel to achieve a high purity effect. By gradually increasing the vacuum degree, the molten steel can volatilize and remove impurity elements with high vapor pressure at high temperature, reduce the formation of inclusions in the alloy, and inhibit the irregular precipitation of inclusions. Alloy elements such as Al, Ti, and Nb can be fully dissolved and evenly distributed in the matrix, effectively reducing the phenomenon of component segregation and structural inhomogeneity, and improving the component stability of the molten steel. .

[0020] In a possible implementation, in the step S1, the temperature of the pouring molten steel is 1530±10°C.

[0021] Compared with the existing technology, the above technical solution can improve the casting performance and crystallization quality of the alloy, reduce segregation and other casting defects, and improve the physical and mechanical properties of the ingot by optimizing the pouring temperature of the molten steel to 1530±10℃. Ultimately, the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy obtained has higher stability, high temperature resistance and longer service life, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end application fields for material performance, such as aerospace, energy and high-temperature industrial equipment.

[0022] In a possible implementation, in step S2, the heating forging conditions are: heating the steel ingot to 1120°C at a heating rate of ≤150°C / h, and keeping it warm for 30 hours; then continuing to heat it to 1160°C, and keeping it warm for 30 hours; heating it again to 1200°C, keeping it warm for 72 hours, performing homogenization heat treatment, and then cooling it to 1080-1110°C, keeping it warm for 3-4 hours, and forging it out of the furnace. During the forging, the start forging temperature is 1000-1050°C, and the final forging temperature is ≥900°C.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution is adopted to avoid the thermal stress problem caused by the large temperature gradient inside the steel ingot caused by a single rapid heating by gradually heating up in stages, and at the same time, the alloy elements are fully diffused, segregation is reduced, and the uniformity of the structure is improved. The homogenization treatment of keeping at 1200℃ for 72h further inhibits the formation of δ phase and other brittle phases, and promotes the formation of γ' and γ" strengthening phases. These strengthening phases can significantly improve the tensile strength and hardness of the material. At the same time, the opening forging temperature (1000-1050℃) ensures that the material has a low deformation resistance, which is convenient for large deformation forging and reduces the risk of cracks during processing; the final forging temperature (≥900℃) retains the δ phase to the maximum extent, and improves the high-temperature creep performance of the material; the above-mentioned heating forging scheme of the present invention achieves the excellent plasticity and toughness of the high-temperature alloy while maintaining high strength and high hardness, and overcomes the problems of easy segregation, brittle phase precipitation and poor processing performance of the high-temperature alloy in the prior art.

[0024] In a possible embodiment, in step S2, the conditions of the solution treatment are: controlling the charging temperature to be less than or equal to 300°C, charging the steel ingot into the furnace, controlling the heating rate to be ≤100°C / h, raising the temperature of the steel ingot to 900°C±10°C and keeping it warm for 1.5h; then heating the steel ingot for 2 hours to further raise the temperature of the steel ingot to 980°C±10°C, keeping it warm for a×d+tmin, where a is 1.5-1.8, d is the diameter of the steel billet in mm, and t is 5-10; water cooling treatment; the conditions of the aging ...

[0025] ≤100℃ / h, raise the temperature of the ingot to 720±10℃ and keep it for 10h; then cool it down to 620±10℃ at a rate of 30-50℃ / h and keep it for 18h, then take it out of the furnace for air cooling.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the above technical scheme allows the alloy elements to be fully dissolved into the austenite matrix by the solid solution treatment at 980℃±10℃ for a×d+t time, effectively eliminating the component segregation problem caused by hot working or casting; the water cooling treatment quickly "freezes" the solid solution strengthening phase in the matrix, avoiding the precipitation of secondary phases and the generation of δ phases, thereby maximizing the solid solution strengthening effect of the material; and the preliminary aging treatment at 720℃±10℃ for 10 hours promotes the precipitation and uniform distribution of γ′ and γ″ strengthening phases in the alloy. The precipitated phase significantly enhances the yield strength and hardness of the material; the subsequent secondary aging process of cooling the temperature to 620℃±10℃ at a rate of 30-50℃ / h and keeping it warm for 18 hours can further optimize the size and amount of the precipitated phase and improve the long-term creep resistance of the alloy. The air cooling treatment after the furnace effectively avoids the excessive growth of the precipitated phase, thereby maintaining the good mechanical properties of the alloy; through the synergistic effect of solution treatment and aging treatment, the above technical scheme solves the problems of composition segregation, insufficient strengthening effect and improper control of precipitation phase existing in high-temperature alloys in the prior art.

[0027] In a possible implementation, in the step S3, the vacuum degree of the vacuum consumable remelting is less than 0.1 Pa, and the vacuum consumable remelting adopts droplet-controlled short arc melting.

[0028] Compared with the existing technology, the above technical solution controls the vacuum degree below 0.1Pa, which helps to more efficiently remove gas impurities and high vapor pressure impurities (such as oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) in the molten steel, thereby improving the purity of the molten steel, helping to reduce adverse chemical reactions such as oxidation and nitridation, reduce the content of inclusions in the alloy, and improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the material; and the short arc melting technology makes the melting of the alloy more uniform by precisely controlling the size of the molten droplet and the short circuit between the molten droplet and the arc. Droplet control can effectively reduce excessive boiling and splashing of molten steel, reduce oxidation and other adverse reactions during the smelting process, and thus improve the purity and crystal quality of the alloy. .

[0029] In a possible implementation, in step S3, the homogenization treatment conditions are:

[0030] The charging temperature of the consumable steel ingot is controlled to be 700℃ before loading into the furnace, and the temperature in the furnace is controlled to rise to 750℃ and kept at this temperature for 10 hours;

[0031] Carry out the first heating, raise the temperature to 1120±10℃, the heating time is 10 hours, and the first heat preservation is 30 hours;

[0032] Carry out the second heating, raise the temperature to 1160±10℃, the heating time is 5 hours, and the second heating is kept for 24 hours;

[0033] The third heating is carried out to raise the temperature to 1195±10°C for 3 hours and the third heating is kept for 72 hours;

[0034] The first cooling is performed to reduce the temperature to 1120±10℃ for 6 hours, and the fourth heating is performed to keep the temperature for 10 hours;

[0035] Carry out the second cooling, lower the temperature to 550±10℃, the cooling time is 10 hours, and then take it out of the furnace and air cool it.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution can effectively promote the uniform diffusion of elements in the alloy, reduce component segregation and the formation of unfavorable phases such as δ phase and Laves phase, thereby optimizing the microstructure of the alloy by gradually increasing the temperature and keeping the temperature within a specific temperature range. In particular, long-term heat preservation at 1195℃±10℃ for 72 hours can fully eliminate dendrite segregation in the as-cast structure, promote the dissolution of the precipitated phase, and make the structure of the alloy more uniform and refined. Continuing to cool and keep the temperature for multiple times, especially the second cooling to 550℃±10℃, can stabilize the γ' and γ" strengthening phases in the alloy, and avoid the accumulation of thermal stress and organizational stress, thereby improving the subsequent processing performance and thermodynamic stability of the material. The homogenization treatment process greatly improves the uniformity and comprehensive performance of the alloy through fine temperature and time control, and shows significant advantages in solving the problems of segregation and poor processing performance in the prior art.

[0037] In a possible implementation, in step S3, the conditions for the reheating forging treatment are: charging the vacuum induction electrode into the furnace at a temperature of ≤300°C, and heating it to 900°C±10°C at a heating rate of not more than 100°C / h, and keeping it warm for 3 hours; further heating it to 1080°C±10°C, the heating time is 2 hours, and keeping it warm for 3.5 to 4 hours; the forging start temperature is 1050°C, and the forging treatment is carried out, and the forging temperature in the blanking stage is 1080-1110°C, the temperature in the later stage of forging is 1010-1050°C, and the final forging temperature is ≥880°C.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the above technical scheme can slowly eliminate the stress inside the material through segmented heating and heat preservation operations, and at the same time, homogenize the distribution of components in the alloy, and reduce the crack sensitivity caused by work hardening and organizational stress; and reaching a high temperature of 1080-1110°C before forging helps to reduce the deformation resistance of the alloy, increase the plasticity of the material, and ensure the stability of the forging process; and large deformation forging at a high temperature of 1080-1110°C in the blanking stage can avoid crack propagation caused by low-temperature processing, and reduce grain coarsening. The temperature is reduced to 1010-1050°C in the later stage of forging, which is conducive to controlling the grain size and inhibiting the excessive growth of dynamic recrystallization; ensuring that the final forging temperature is not lower than 880°C, the appropriate content of δ phase in the alloy can be retained to the maximum extent, thereby improving the toughness and strength of the material; this embodiment solves the problems of forging cracks, uneven organization and insufficient mechanical properties in the prior art through reasonable segmented heating and precise forging temperature control, so that the alloy has higher strength, hardness and high temperature resistance, and at the same time achieves excellent balance between machinability and toughness.

[0043] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these implementations are only used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments to them as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0044] The present invention provides a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, the components of which include, by weight percentage:

[0045] C: 0.02-0.05%, Si: 0-0.1%, Mn: 0-0.1%, S: 0-0.015%, P: 0-0.015%, Cr: 17.5-18.5%, Fe: 0-10.0%, Al: 1.6-1.8%, Co: 4.0-4.5%, Ti: 0.75-1.15%, Nb: 5.6-5.8%, B: 0-0.006%, Mg: 0-0.01%, and the balance is Ni and unavoidable impurities.

[0046] A simple analysis is made of the improvement of the alloy composition system of the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy provided by the present invention. Compared with ordinary 718, the Al and Nb contents are further increased to increase the amount of γ′ and γ″ in the alloy, thereby improving the solid solution strengthening and aging strengthening effects, and improving the hardness and strength of the parts. Due to the increase in Nb content, C is further reduced on the basis of the original C content, from 0.03-0.05 to 0.01-0.02, thereby reducing the amount of NbC generated and reducing the probability of "black spot" defects in the material. The Al content is increased by about 0.6% compared to ordinary 718, which greatly inhibits the generation of δ phase, thereby indirectly promoting the amount of γ″ generated. However, excessive increase in Al will greatly increase the generation temperature and amount of LAVES phase, greatly reducing the impact performance, which needs to be improved by increasing and extending the high-temperature homogenization temperature and time. The Co content is increased by about 4%. The addition of Co increases the γ′ strength, inhibits the growth of γ′, and greatly reduces the stable creep rate of the alloy, thereby improving the thermal strength of the alloy.

[0047] The present invention optimizes and improves the alloy component system based on the 718 component, adds relatively high Al, Nb, and Co elements, reduces the content of P, S, C, and participating gases, and cooperates with each other to make the prepared high-temperature alloy have a hardness of 48-52HRC, a room temperature tensile strength of ≥1450Mpa, a room temperature yield strength of ≥1200Mpa, and a tensile strength of 650℃.

[0048] ≥1200Mpa, 650℃ yield strength ≥1000Mpa, and the room temperature impact can still be maintained at ≥30J.

[0049] As a preferred solution, its components include by weight percentage: C: 0.025-0.035%, Si: 0-0.08%, Mn: 0-0.05%, S: 0-0.010%, P: 0-0.010%, Cr: 17.7-18.0%, Fe: 0-9.0%, Mo: 2.80-3.20%, Co: 4.20-4.40%, Al: 1.70-1.90%, Ti: 0.95-1.10%, Nb: 5.60-5.80%, B: 0.003-0.0 06%, Mg: 0-0.010%, Ni: 56.50-58.50%, the impurity components include: Cu: 0-0.1%, Ca: 0-0.005%, Bi: 0-0.00003%, Sn: 0-0.005%, Pb: 0-0.0005%, Ag: 0-0.0005%, Se: 0-0.0003%, Te: 0-0.00005%, Tl: 0-0.0001%, H: 0-5ppm, O: 0-50ppm, N: 0-50ppm.

[0050] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S1: Mix the raw materials according to the composition ratio of the high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, perform vacuum induction smelting, then pour molten steel and vacuum consumable remelting to obtain a steel ingot, wherein the refining temperature of the vacuum induction smelting is 1580±10°C, and the refining time is ≥60min;

[0052] S2: subjecting the steel ingot obtained in step S1 to heating forging, solution treatment and aging treatment to obtain a vacuum induction electrode;

[0053] S3: The vacuum induction electrode obtained in step S2 is subjected to lathing, vacuum consumable remelting, homogenization treatment and reheating and forging treatment to obtain a high-strength, high-hardness high-temperature alloy, wherein the melting rate of the vacuum consumable remelting is 3 kg / min.

[0054] As a preferred solution, in step S1, the conditions for vacuum induction smelting are: the vacuum degree in the preheating period is controlled at ≤50Pa, the vacuum degree in the raw material melting period is controlled at ≤20Pa, and the vacuum degree in the refining period is ≤1.0Pa.

[0056] The specific operation details of step S1 are shown in Table 1 below:

[0057] Table 1: Specific operation details of step S1

[0058]
