[0028] Compared with the prior art, the crack repair method of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0029] The embodiment of the present application provides a crack repair method of an additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part, which is used to solve the crack repair problem of an additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part with high Al and Ti γ' strengthening. The embodiment of the present application adopts a method of combining filler powder and solder powder for crack repair. Specifically, the powder of the alloy body composition is used as the filler powder. In order to improve the internal repair density of the large gap crack, a certain amount of low-melting-point high-wetting solder powder is mixed in the filler, combined with tight compaction, to ensure that a sufficient amount of powder is preserved in the crack gap to avoid local unwelding defects. During the repair process, the mixed powder (filler powder and solder powder) of the present application acts as the matrix skeleton in the joint, which can avoid the unwelding condition in the central part when the crack gap to be repaired is wide, compared with directly using the filler powder as the skeleton or only adding a small amount of mixed powder skeleton with solder powder. In addition, since the base material is a high Al and Ti precipitation-strengthening type additive manufacturing superalloy, there is still a large residual internal stress after heat treatment. In this embodiment of the present application, the filler powder with the same composition as the additive manufacturing superalloy part is used to maximize the matching of the welding material and the matrix, thereby avoiding further stress cracking. In addition, the Cr element and W element, which are also present in the base material, are added to the chemical composition of the solder powder as strengthening elements to improve the matching. The amount of Cr element added is more to obtain better oxidation resistance, and the amount of W element added is moderate to avoid excessive W leading to reduced flowability, thereby reducing the weldability. In addition, by limiting the content of Co element, the crack sensitivity can be reduced. The B element in the solder powder plays a role in reducing the melting point of the solder. The B element is added together with the matrix element Ni and the strengthening elements Cr and W to ensure that the weld seam has strength and organizational stability while improving the solder wettability, flowability and gap filling property, thereby reducing the weld defects and improving the weld strength.
[0030] Further, when the filler powder, solder powder and adhesive are blended to form the first paste-like material for pressing into the crack, the amount of adhesive needs to be strictly controlled. If the amount of adhesive is excessive, the density of the weld seam will be poor, resulting in welding defects, so that the crack cannot be successfully repaired. If the content of the adhesive is insufficient, the flowability of the solder paste will be too poor, and the solidification will be too fast, making it difficult to press into the crack.
[0031] Further, the embodiment of the present application selects different particle sizes for the solder powder and the filler powder, the solder powder is finer, and the filler powder is coarser, so that the solder powder can fill the gaps between the filler powder, make full use of the existing space to further realize greater space utilization, and fill more powder into the crack. In addition, the use of different particle sizes of powder also increases the actual amount of powder added in the crack, further ensuring the repair ability of the wide gap crack.
[0032] Further, the crack repair method for the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part provided by the embodiment of the present application directly places the low-melting-point high-wetting solder powder (which is mixed with the adhesive to form the second paste) outside the crack after the first paste is pressed into the crack, so as to fully utilize the excellent flow and gap filling performance of the solder in the repair process to penetrate into the micro-gap channel in the crack and fill the entire crack. The residual solder outside the crack can provide better surface quality after polishing after welding. In summary, the solder powder (the second paste) coated outside the crack has excellent flowability, wettability and gap filling performance, and can assist in penetrating into the residual gap in the crack, while ensuring the surface quality and improving the internal quality of the joint.
[0033] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a crack repair method for an additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part, which uses alloy powder with the same composition as the additive manufacturing superalloy base material as filler, cooperates with high-wetting solder, and uses a vacuum heat treatment furnace or a vacuum brazing furnace with wide adaptability and low cost. In the case of meeting the use requirements of the additive manufacturing part, the method greatly improves the qualified rate and reduces the production cost through repair and remanufacturing, and has great economic value and application value.
[0034] The above description is only a summary of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0052] To further clarify the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the predetermined inventive purpose, the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects thereof according to the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, the specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.
[0053] The crack repair method of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part according to the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0054] Step S0: removing the oxide layer at the crack to be repaired of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part.

[0057] Preferably, the "pressing" method includes using a syringe or a dispensing machine to inject the first paste material into the crack, or directly using a clean dust-free cloth to dip the solder paste and press it in, but is not limited thereto, as long as the first paste material is pressed into the crack of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part.
[0058] It should be noted that since the present application is used for repairing super-large gap cracks, the proportion of solder powder is strictly required, too high proportion of solder powder will lead to insufficient support of the filler skeleton, and easy to appear the whole loss of the filler material, resulting in visual inspection of meat. Too low proportion of solder powder will lead to insufficient filling shrinkage of the solder, and easy to appear a large number of micropores, resulting in dense point display in fluorescence inspection. Therefore, the present application controls the proportion of solder powder in the mixed powder to be 40-50%.
[0059] Preferably, the chemical composition of the solder powder includes: Cr 11.0-17.0wt%, W 5.0-9.0wt%, B 1-4wt%, C≤0.06wt%, Co≤0.1wt%, and Ni is the balance, in terms of weight percentage.

[0062] Preferably, the chemical composition of the filler powder is the same as that of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part.
[0063] Preferably, the solder powder is spherical and / or near-spherical, and the particle size is -325 mesh (particles that can pass through a 325 mesh sieve).
[0064] Preferably, the filler powder is spherical and / or near-spherical, and the particle size is (-140-+325) mesh. In this context, "-" means "sieve under", "+" means "sieve above", -140-+325 mesh indicates particles between 140 mesh and 325 mesh.
[0065] Preferably, the solder powder is prepared by gas atomization, and the gas atomization process parameters are as follows: melting temperature is 1390-1590℃, powder spraying temperature is 1410-1570℃, atomizing gas is argon, and atomizing pressure is 2-10MPa; the prepared alloy powder is sieved to obtain alloy powder with a particle size of -325 mesh, which is the solder powder.

[0067] Step S2: applying a second paste material to cover the first paste material at the crack and at the area near the crack; wherein the second paste material comprises solder powder and adhesive.
[0068] Preferably, in this step, the adhesive is added to the solder powder and stirred evenly to form a second paste material, the amount of adhesive added accounts for 8% to 14% of the total weight of the solder powder and the adhesive, and then the second paste material is applied to the outer surface of the paste mixed solder and the metal base material outside the original crack within a range of 2 mm, and the total application amount should not be less than 2 times the volume of the original crack, so as to ensure that there is enough solder to flow into the framework (filler) at high temperature, so as to avoid welding defects caused by insufficient solder.
[0069] Step S3: Apply a flow resistance agent to the surrounding position of the second paste material on the additive manufacturing nickel-based high-temperature alloy part.
[0070] Preferably, in this step, the flow resistance agent is applied to the surrounding of the paste solder, and the distance between the flow resistance agent and the second paste material should not exceed 2 mm.
[0071] Step S4: Dry treatment and crack repair treatment are performed on the additive manufacturing nickel-based high-temperature alloy part after the flow resistance agent is applied, to obtain a crack-repaired additive manufacturing high-temperature alloy part.
[0072] Preferably, in this step, the additive manufacturing nickel-based high-temperature alloy part is placed in an oven at 80-150°C for 1-3 hours for drying, and the surface solder (surface paste) is appropriately trimmed; then the part to be repaired is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace or a vacuum brazing furnace for crack repair, wherein the temperature of the crack repair treatment is (1150-1240) °C, and the holding time is 10-30 minutes. It should be noted that the above-mentioned crack repair treatment temperature is selected without exceeding the limit temperature that the alloy can withstand, and without damaging the alloy itself, while ensuring that the melting and gap filling effect of the solder meet the repair requirements. In addition, the holding time is short, which is more economical, and the short holding time can reduce the impact on the alloy. Although the time is short, it is sufficient to ensure the full flow and gap filling of the solder. After welding, the furnace is cooled or argon is filled for cooling, and the vacuum pressure in the furnace before cooling is not higher than 4×10 -2 Pa, so as to ensure that the part, the filler and the solder are not oxidized, and the solder has good wettability to the base material and the filler during the repair process.

The alloy powder obtained by atomization is sieved to obtain alloy powder with particle size of-325 mesh, which is the solder powder of the embodiment.
[0122] The crack repair method of the embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0123] Step S0: The oxidation layer at the position to be repaired is removed by sandblasting and polishing.
[0124] Step S1: The filler powder and the solder powder are mechanically mixed in a ratio of 50:50 to form a mixed powder, and then a water-based binder (Nicrobraz s-binder produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the mixed powder and stirred uniformly to form a first paste. The amount of the binder added is 10% of the total weight of the mixed powder and the binder. Then, the first paste is pressed into the original crack of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part by means of a weighing spoon, and the paste mixed solder that has overflowed outside the crack is cleaned after compaction.
[0125] Step S2: The water-based binder (Nicrobraz s-binder produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the solder powder and stirred uniformly to form a second paste. The amount of the binder added is 12% of the total weight of the solder powder and the binder. Then, the second paste is applied to the outer surface of the first paste and the metal base material within a range of 2 mm outside the original crack, and the total application amount is 3 times the volume of the original crack.
[0126] Step S3: The flow resistance agent is applied around the second paste, and the farthest distance between the flow resistance agent and the second paste is 1.6 mm.
[0127] Step S4: The additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part coated with the above-mentioned coating is placed in a 110°C oven for drying for 1.5 hours, and the positions where the surface solder is not uniformly coated are slightly trimmed; then the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace for crack repair treatment.

[0128] Step S5: After the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part with repaired cracks is discharged, the residual solder on the outside of the original crack site is polished to the original part surface state.
[0129] Referring to Figure 13 As shown, the original crack site of the repaired part is checked, and it is found that the original crack site presents local point display after fluorescent penetration, indicating that the compactness of the repaired site is poor, and there is a local non-welding defect. This is because the content of the adhesive in the paste-shaped mixed solder pressed into the crack exceeds 8%, resulting in poor compactness of the weld and welding defects, so that the crack is not successfully repaired.

[0132] The additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part used in the embodiment is a part with a chemical composition of Ni-8Cr-8Co-8W-6Ta-5.5Al-0.7Ti-2Mo-0.1C-0.015B-1.4Hf printed by using a selective laser melting technology, and there is a through crack on the part, and the gap of the widest part of the crack is 1.2 mm.
[0133] The filler powder used in the embodiment is an alloy powder with the same chemical composition as the part prepared by using a gas atomization method. The gas atomization process parameters are: smelting temperature is 1560℃, powder spraying temperature is 1540℃, atomizing gas is argon, and atomizing pressure is 9MPa. The alloy powder obtained by atomization is sieved to obtain an alloy powder with a particle size of (-140~+325) mesh, which is the filler powder of the embodiment.

The alloy powder obtained by atomization is sieved to obtain an alloy powder with a particle size of (-140~+325) mesh, which is the solder powder of the embodiment.
[0135] The crack repair method of the embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0136] Step S0: The oxide layer at the crack to be repaired is removed by sandblasting and polishing.
[0137] Step S1 : The filler powder and the solder powder are mechanically mixed in a ratio of 50%:50% to form a mixed powder, and then a water-based binder (Nicrobraz s-binder produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the mixed powder and stirred uniformly to form a first paste. The amount of the binder added is 6% of the total weight of the mixed powder and the binder. Then the first paste is pressed into the original crack of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part by means of a weighing spoon, and after compaction, the paste mixed solder outside the crack is cleaned up.
[0138] Step S2: The water-based binder (Nicrobraz s-binder produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the solder powder and stirred uniformly to form a second paste. The amount of the binder added is 12% of the total weight of the solder powder and the binder. Then the second paste is applied to the outer surface of the first paste and the metal base material outside the original crack within a range of 2 mm, and the total application amount is 3 times the volume of the original crack.
[0139] Step S3: The flow resistance agent is applied around the second paste, and the distance between the flow resistance agent and the second paste is 1.6 mm.
[0140] Step S4: The additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part with the above-mentioned coating is placed in a 110°C oven for 1.5 hours for drying, and the positions where the surface solder is not uniformly applied are slightly trimmed; then the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part is placed in a vacuum heat treatment furnace for crack repair treatment. The temperature of the crack repair treatment is 1230°C, the holding time is 30 minutes, and after the holding time ends, argon is filled for cooling to below 80°C. The vacuum pressure in the furnace before cooling is always not higher than 4x10 - 2 Pa.
[0141] Step S5: After the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part after crack repair is taken out of the furnace, the residual solder on the outside of the original crack position of the metal is polished to the original surface state of the part.
[0142] As Figure 14 shown, the repaired part is checked at the original crack position, and it is found that the original crack position shows local linear display after fluorescent penetration, indicating that the density of the repaired position is poor, and there are local unwelding defects. This is because the particle size of the solder powder is not suitable, which leads to insufficient space utilization of the mixed solder, and then the total amount of the mixed solder pressed into the crack is less, which leads to poor density of the weld and welding defects, so that the crack cannot be successfully repaired.

[0148] The crack repair method of the comparative example comprises the following steps:
[0149] Step S0: The oxide layer at the crack to be repaired is removed by sandblasting and polishing.
[0150] Step S1: The filler powder and the solder powder are mechanically mixed in a ratio of 60%:40% to form a mixed powder, and then a water-based adhesive (Nicrobraz s-binder adhesive produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the mixed powder and stirred uniformly to form a first paste. The amount of adhesive added is 7wt% of the total weight of the mixed powder and the adhesive. Then, the first paste is pressed into the original crack of the additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part by means of a weighing spoon, and the paste mixed solder at the non-welding position outside the crack is cleaned after compaction.
[0151] Step S2: Add water-based binder (Nicrobraz s-binder produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) into the solder powder and stir evenly to form a second paste.

[0154] Step S5: After the crack-repaired additive manufacturing nickel-based superalloy part is taken out of the furnace, the residual solder on the outside of the original crack site is polished to the original part surface state.
[0155] As Figure 15 shown, the repaired part original crack site is checked, and it is found by visual inspection that there is a local unwelding in the original crack site, indicating that the flowability and gap filling property of the solder powder used are insufficient, and the microgap between the filler cannot be fully melted and filled, resulting in a serious lack of bonding force between the solder-filler-base material, and a visually visible unwelding defect appears.

[0164] Step S2: The water-based adhesive (Nicrobraz s-binder adhesive produced by Wall Colmonoy Company) is added to the solder powder and stirred uniformly to form a second paste.
