[0021] The present invention provides a compressor titanium alloy blade, which includes the following components by mass: 6.1% to 6.3% aluminum, 1.8% to 1.9% molybdenum, 2.4% to 2.45% chromium, 0.5% to 0.6% iron, ≤0.07% oxygen, and the balance is titanium. The compressor titanium alloy blade of the present invention has a uniform composition, and the optimized titanium alloy composition design greatly improves the fatigue performance of the titanium alloy blade.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above compressor titanium alloy blade, comprising the following steps: S10, subjecting the raw materials to vacuum consumable arc furnace smelting treatment to obtain titanium alloy ingots.

[0023] S20, performing free forging treatment on the titanium alloy ingot to obtain a titanium alloy forging.

[0024] S30, hot rolling the titanium alloy forging to obtain a titanium alloy round bar.

[0025] S40, performing radial forging on the titanium alloy round rod to obtain a first titanium alloy forged rod.

[0026] S50, performing machining, peeling, flaw detection, and cutting processing on the first titanium alloy forged rod to obtain a second titanium alloy forged rod.

[0027] S60, performing precision die forging on the second titanium alloy forged rod to obtain a titanium alloy blade.

[0028] S70. Post-process the titanium alloy blade.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, the raw materials include sponge titanium and master alloy, and the raw materials are subjected to three vacuum consumable arc furnace (VAR) melting treatments. In a preferred embodiment, in step S10, the titanium alloy ingot includes the following components by mass content: aluminum 6.1% to 6.3%, molybdenum 1.8% to 1.9%, chromium 2.4% to 2.45%, iron 0.5% to 0.6%, oxygen ≤ 0.07%, and the balance is titanium.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, in step S20, the free forging process includes the following steps: S21. The titanium alloy ingot is subjected to five-fire, three-drill and three-draw free forging treatment. The heating temperatures of the five fires are 1160°C, 1110°C, 1055°C, 1035°C and 995°C respectively. The heating and holding time of each fire is the minimum size of the titanium alloy forging (mm) × 0.41 minutes.

[0031] S22, subjecting the titanium alloy forging obtained in step S21 to three-fire, two-hammer and two-draw free forging treatment, wherein the heating temperatures of the three fires are respectively the phase transition point temperature of the titanium alloy -35°C, and the heating and heat preservation time of each fire is the minimum size (mm) of the titanium alloy forging × 0.59 minutes.

[0032] S23, subjecting the titanium alloy forging obtained in step S22 to two-fire, two-hammer and two-draw free forging treatment, wherein the heating temperatures of the two fires are respectively the phase transition point temperature of the titanium alloy -45°C, and the heating and heat preservation time of each fire is the minimum size (mm) of the titanium alloy forging × 0.61 minutes.

[0033] The method of the present invention accurately sets the forging heating temperature and the holding time according to the titanium alloy composition, the hot working fire number and the minimum size of the hot working workpiece, thereby ensuring that the titanium alloy blade has uniform structure and performance. The heated blank of the present invention is cylindrical, and the size of the bottom diameter of the cylinder is smaller than the size of the height, and the bottom diameter has the smallest size in comparison. Therefore, the minimum size of the heated blank of the present invention is the size of the bottom diameter.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, before each free forging heating, a glass coating having a melting temperature of the heating temperature of the fire + 15° C. is coated on the surface of the titanium alloy forging.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, in step S30, the titanium alloy forging is subjected to a hot rolling treatment, the heating temperature is the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -50°C, and before heating, a glass coating with a melting temperature of the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -35°C is applied to the surface of the titanium alloy forging.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, in step S40, the titanium alloy round rod is subjected to a fire forging treatment, the heating temperature is the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -55°C, and before heating, a glass coating with a melting temperature of the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -40°C is coated on the surface of the titanium alloy round rod.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, in step S50, after the first titanium alloy forged rod is machined and peeled, it is subjected to flaw detection according to GB / T5193-2020 standard, and then a second titanium alloy forged rod reaching AA grade of GB / T5193-2020 standard is cut.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, in step S60, the second titanium alloy forged rod is subjected to two-fire precision die forging treatment, the heating temperature is the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -58°C, and before heating, a glass coating having a melting temperature of the titanium alloy phase transition point temperature -43°C is coated on the surface of the second titanium alloy forged rod. The two-fire precision die forging treatment of one fire for rough deformation and one fire for fine deformation ensures that the size and structure of the titanium alloy blade meet the design requirements.

[0039] Before heating in hot working processes such as free forging, hot rolling, radial forging, and die forging, glass coating with corresponding melting temperature is applied to the surface of titanium alloy workpiece. During heating, the softened glass coating can prevent the titanium alloy workpiece from being oxidized and cracked during the forging process, and also plays a lubricating role. The glass coating can protect the titanium alloy workpiece to the greatest extent, reduce the absorption of oxygen and hydrogen by the titanium alloy workpiece, and improve the uniformity of the composition, organization, and performance of the titanium alloy workpiece. The combination of hot deformation processes of free forging, hot rolling, and radial forging ensures that the flaw detection of titanium alloy forging bars can reach the AA level of GB / T5193 standard.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, in step S70, the post-processing includes vibratory finishing and vibratory grinding and polishing of the titanium alloy blade until the surface roughness of the titanium alloy blade is Ra≤0.2μm, and titanium nitride powder with a Mohs hardness of 8.7-9 is used as an abrasive. When the surface roughness of the titanium alloy blade reaches Ra0.2, the fatigue performance and aerodynamic efficiency of the titanium alloy blade can be greatly improved. The use of titanium nitride powder with a Mohs hardness of 8.7-9 as a vibratory finishing abrasive avoids the situation where other materials contaminate the surface of the titanium alloy blade.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, in step S70, the post-treatment further includes vacuum annealing and cryogenic treatment of the titanium alloy blade, wherein the annealing temperature is 650°C and the temperature is kept for 1 hour; the cryogenic treatment temperature is -165°C and the temperature is kept for 12 hours. Cryogenic treatment of the titanium alloy blade at -165°C can stabilize the size of the titanium alloy blade, prevent the titanium alloy blade from deformation, regulate the titanium alloy blade structure and residual stress state, and the compressive stress on the titanium alloy blade surface increases the fatigue life of the titanium alloy blade. The cryogenic treatment replaces the shot peening treatment of the prior art, and improves the surface roughness of the titanium alloy blade.

[0042] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
