Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hot processing of high-temperature alloys, and in particular relates to a forging method for improving the edge structure of a difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bar. Background Art

[0002] In modern aerospace, energy and power and other high-end manufacturing fields, hard-to-deform nickel-based superalloys have become the core materials for manufacturing key hot-end components due to their excellent high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, thermal corrosion resistance and other excellent properties. For example, the turbine blades and turbine disks of aircraft engines work under high temperature, high pressure and complex stress environments, and the performance requirements of materials are extremely stringent. Hard-to-deform nickel-based superalloys can meet the use requirements of these extreme working conditions and ensure the efficient and stable operation of the equipment.

[0003] However, when forging hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloys, the uniformity of the edge structure has always been a bottleneck restricting the development of the industry. This alloy usually contains a large amount of γ' strengthening phase and relies on MC, M6C and M 23 The synergistic strengthening of carbides such as C6 gives the alloy good strength-toughness matching characteristics, and it is mainly used in the manufacture of rotating parts of aircraft engines and gas turbines. But also because of this, the deformation resistance of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloys is extremely large, and its structure is extremely sensitive to hot working temperature and deformation uniformity. In actual production, the phenomenon of uneven edge structure frequently occurs. As for the free forging of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloys, the conventional forging method uses eight-way pulling eight-way deformation process in the forming fire. There are many factors that lead to uneven edge structure. For example, because the temperature of the hammer and anvil is much lower than the material temperature, a contact temperature drop quenching zone will be formed on the surface of the material, and the contact area between the hammer and anvil and the surface of the material is large, and the large friction will hinder the metal flow deformation in the edge area of ​​the material. This series of factors leads to the temperature and equivalent strain of the edge area of ​​the material being lower than the interior of the material when the edge area is stretched and deformed, which makes it very easy for the edge of the material to have an incompletely recrystallized mixed crystal structure. This uneven edge structure not only causes significant differences in the performance of various parts of the forging, but also during the subsequent service period, the stress concentration caused by the uneven edge structure will greatly reduce the fatigue life of the components. In severe cases, it may even cause the components to fail prematurely, posing a great threat to the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0004] At present, it is difficult to fundamentally solve this problem with conventional forging processes. Although some processes attempt to improve the uniformity of edge structure by adjusting parameters such as heating temperature and deformation rate, these methods often fail to achieve ideal results due to the high sensitivity of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloys to processing technology. In addition, although some existing improved technologies can alleviate the problem of uneven edge structure to a certain extent, they are often accompanied by disadvantages such as reduced production efficiency and significantly increased costs, which makes it difficult to meet the actual needs of industrial large-scale production. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a forging method that can effectively improve the uniformity of edge structure of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloys while having the advantages of high efficiency and low cost.

[0005] In view of this, this invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a forging method for improving the edge structure of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bars. It is mainly used to solve the problem that the traditional process for preparing difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bars is prone to incomplete recrystallization of mixed crystal structures, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the uniformity of the edge structure, thereby improving the overall performance of the forging and meeting the needs of industrial large-scale production.

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to be solved by the following technical solutions:

[0008] A forging method for improving the edge structure of a difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bar, the forging method comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1, heating a hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot to a set temperature and then keeping the temperature, and after the ingot is heated through, performing at least three times of axial upsetting and octagonal stretching operations on the hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot to obtain a first intermediate billet with an octagonal cross section;

[0010] Step 2, heating the first intermediate blank to a set temperature and then keeping the temperature, and after the temperature is completely heated, performing a heat treatment on the first intermediate blank to obtain a first square blank;

[0011] Step 3, heating the first square blank to a set temperature and then keeping the temperature, and after the temperature is completely heated, performing a diagonal stretching on the first square blank to obtain a second square blank;

[0012] Step 4, after heating the second square blank to a set temperature and keeping it warm for a set time, the second square blank is subjected to a first-time diagonal stretching and octagonal stretching to obtain a second intermediate blank with an octagonal cross section;

[0013] Step 5, heating the second intermediate billet to a set temperature and then keeping it warm, performing a rounding process on the second intermediate billet with the same specifications after it is heated through, and air cooling it to room temperature to obtain the target difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy rod.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 1, the difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot is obtained by a double melting process of vacuum induction melting + vacuum consumable melting, or by a triple melting process of vacuum induction melting + electroslag remelting + vacuum consumable melting.

[0015] Furthermore, in step 1, the Al+Ti element content in the difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot is 4.0% to 5.5%, the Co element content is 12.0% to 16.0%, and the Mo element content is 3.0% to 6.0%.

[0016] Furthermore, in step 1, the difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot is heated to 80°C to 120°C above the dissolution temperature of the γ' strengthening phase, and the deformation amount of each fire during the axial upsetting and octagonal drawing is 15% to 30%. Preferably, the deformation amount of each fire during the axial upsetting and octagonal drawing is 17% to 28%, and the surface of the material needs to be coated with thermal insulation asbestos before each deformation.

[0017] Furthermore, in step 2, the first intermediate blank is heated to 40°C to 80°C above the dissolution temperature of the γ' strengthening phase, the deformation during the four-way drawing is 25% to 40%, preferably, the deformation during the four-way drawing is 26% to 38%, and the surface of the material needs to be coated with thermal insulation asbestos before each deformation.

[0018] Furthermore, in step 3, the first square blank is heated to 10°C to 40°C above the dissolution temperature of the γ' strengthening phase, and the deformation during the diagonal drawing is 35% to 50%. Preferably, the deformation during the diagonal drawing is 35% to 47%, and the surface of the material needs to be coated with thermal insulation asbestos before each deformation.

[0019] Further, in step 4, the second square billet is heated to 10°C to 40°C above the dissolution temperature of the γ' strengthening phase and then kept warm, and the holding time is set to (0.1 to 0.2) Dmin, and the deformation during the diagonal stretching + eight-way stretching is 35% to 50%, preferably, the deformation during the diagonal stretching + eight-way stretching is 36% to 47%, and the surface of the material needs to be coated with thermal insulation asbestos before each deformation;

[0020] Wherein, D is the side length of the second square blank, in mm.

[0021] Furthermore, in step 5, the second intermediate blank is heated to a temperature 10° C. to 40° C. below the dissolution temperature of the γ' strengthening phase.

[0022] Furthermore, the first intermediate blank, the first square blank, the second square blank and the second intermediate blank all need to be hot-melted.

[0023] Furthermore, the forging method is used to produce hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy rods with a specification of Φ150mm to Φ300mm, and the edge structure of the hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy rods is uniform.

[0024] Preferably, the forging method is used to produce difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bars with a specification of Φ180mm to Φ280mm.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The forging method provided by the present invention greatly reduces the contact area between the material surface and the hammer anvil by using the square billet edge and the hammer anvil for deformation, which not only reduces the contact temperature drop between the edge and the hammer anvil to increase the edge drawing deformation temperature, but also reduces the friction force, effectively increases the metal flow deformation in the edge area, thereby significantly improving the temperature and equivalent strain of the edge area of ​​the material during the drawing deformation. At the same time, the short-term heat preservation between the two diagonal drawing fires avoids the excessive coarsening of the recrystallized structure refined after the first fire diagonal drawing during reheating, and provides a uniform and refined billet structure for the subsequent forming diagonal drawing fire. These unique designs make this forging method effective in improving the uniformity of the edge structure of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bars, effectively avoiding incomplete recrystallization of mixed crystal structures, and improving the overall performance of forgings. In addition, the forging method has a clear operating process and clear process parameters. While ensuring high efficiency, it controls costs and meets the needs of industrial large-scale production. It is particularly suitable for the production of difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bars with specifications of Φ150mm~Φ300mm, especially Φ180mm~Φ280mm.

[0043] In order to further verify the efficacy of the forging method of the present invention, the inventors conducted the following specific examples (Note: the γ' strengthening phase resolubility temperature of the hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot in the embodiment of the present invention is about 1050°C):

[0044] Example 1 (Preparation of Φ280 mm difficult-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy rod)

[0045] This embodiment is used to prepare a hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy bar with a specification of Φ280 mm, and the forging process is as follows:

[0046] 1) The hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot was heated to 1170°C and kept warm for 5 hours, and then the hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy ingot was subjected to five times of axial upsetting and octagonal drawing operations, and the deformation amount of each fire was 28%, to obtain a first intermediate billet with an octagonal cross-section (side length of 670 mm), and the hot material was returned to the furnace after forging.

[0047] 2) The first intermediate blank obtained in step 1) is heated to 1130° C. and then kept warm for 3 hours, and then the first intermediate blank is subjected to a first heat and square drawing, and the deformation amount is controlled to be 38% to obtain a first square blank with a side length of 480 mm, and then the edges of the first square blank are slightly chamfered, and the hot material after forging is returned to the furnace;

[0048] 3) The first square blank obtained in step 2) is heated to 1090°C and then kept warm for 2.5 hours, and then the first square blank is subjected to a first-time diagonal stretching, that is, only the edges of the first square blank are pressed down and deformed to obtain a second square blank that is approximately rotated 45° compared to the first square blank, and the deformation amount is controlled to be 47% to obtain a second square blank with a side length of 350 mm, and then the edges of the second square blank are slightly chamfered, and the hot material is returned to the furnace after forging;

[0049] 4) After heating the second square billet obtained in step 3) to 1090°C and keeping it warm for 60 minutes, the second square billet is subjected to a first-time diagonal stretching + octagonal stretching, that is, the edge of the second square billet with a side length of 350 mm is first pressed down to form an approximate third square billet (with a side length of 270 mm) rotated 45° compared with the second square billet, and then the edge of the third square billet, that is, the original plane of the original second square billet, is pressed down to deform, and the deformation amount is controlled to be 47% to obtain a second intermediate billet with an octagonal cross section (with a side length of 280 mm), and the hot material is returned to the furnace after forging;

It can be clearly seen that the existing forging process has a poor recrystallization degree at 0mm from the edge. The stretched necklace structure (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure), there are still some large grains that are not completely recrystallized 5mm away from the edge (as shown in the figure).
