Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nickel-based alloys, and in particular relates to a high-toughness, wear-resistant nickel-based alloy, a preparation method and a marine diesel engine frequency regulating wheel alloy casting. Background Art
[0002] As a key transmission component in marine diesel engines, the frequency regulator (French speed regulator) is widely used to adjust speed matching and power transmission smoothness during engine operation. Its service conditions are often accompanied by high-frequency impact loads, intense vibration, and complex friction and wear environments. Especially under the long-term, high-load operation conditions of ocean-going vessels, the French speed regulator's structural integrity, surface wear resistance, and core toughness directly affect the stability and safety of the entire engine.
[0003] Existing marine diesel engine frequency control impellers are mostly made of ductile iron or medium- and low-alloy steel castings. While these castings possess considerable mechanical properties, they still present numerous challenges in practical use: insufficient toughness leads to poor impact resistance and prone to cracking under complex loads; low wear resistance causes premature wear of the gear teeth or working surfaces, reducing service life; and casting defects such as coarse grains and uneven microstructure can easily lead to premature fatigue failure. Furthermore, conventional casting processes often fail to achieve a synergistic combination of strength and toughness through controlled composition and microstructure, making it difficult to balance surface strengthening with optimized overall mechanical properties.
[0004] In order to improve the service reliability of frequency-regulating wheel castings in harsh marine environments, it is urgent to develop a new type of alloy material with both high toughness and high wear resistance, and at the same time, to match it with innovative heat treatment and surface strengthening processes to further improve the structural uniformity, crack resistance and wear life of the castings, so as to meet the high requirements of modern high-power marine diesel engines for the performance of key transmission components. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide: a high-toughness wear-resistant nickel-based alloy, which comprises the following components in mass percentage: Mo: 11.0-15.0%, Cr: 6.0-9.0%, Al: 0.6-0.9%, Fe: 1.0-2.0%, Ti: 0.2-0.5%, C: 0.02-0.06%, Ni: balance; and further comprises the following rare earth elements as doping elements: La: 0.2-0.3%, Ce: 0.2-0.3%, Pr: 0.1-0.2%, Nd: 0.1-0.2%.

[0014] The present invention also provides a marine diesel engine frequency control wheel alloy casting, which is made of the nickel-based alloy as a raw material through an enhanced forging process, wherein the enhanced forging process comprises the following steps:

After the hot forging is completed, the forging is placed in a slow cooling pit and slowly cooled to room temperature to obtain an initial forged structure;
[0017] A2. Heat treatment process:
[0018] A21. Heating step: placing the forging in a vacuum furnace, heating it to 1170-1220°C at a temperature rise rate of 5-10°C / min, and holding the temperature constant for 5-7 hours; the vacuum degree of the vacuum furnace is maintained at 0.5-1 Pa;

[0020] A23. Aging step: Heat the cooled forging to 600-650°C and keep it at this temperature for 6-8 hours to promote the precipitation of molybdenum carbide and form a dispersed strengthening phase, then slowly cool it to room temperature in the furnace.

[0077] Comparative Example 1 (C1)
[0078] In order to verify the scientific nature of the ratio range of each element in the present invention and its influence on the alloy structure and properties, this comparative example 1 is designed to provide a nickel-based alloy forging, which is prepared and processed according to conventional processes, as follows:
[0079] The alloy of this comparative example was prepared according to the following mass percentages:
[0080] Mo: 16.5%, Cr: 9.0%, Al: 0.9%, Fe: 2.0%, Ti: 0.5%, C: 0.08%, La: 0.35%, Ce: 0.35%, Pr: 0.25%, Nd: 0.25%, Ni: balance.

[0082] The alloy was melted in a vacuum induction furnace at 1550°C, with a vacuum level of 0.8 Pa and an argon protective atmosphere. The melting time was 30 minutes. After stirring, the melt was poured into a mold preheated to 400°C and cooled to remove the mold to obtain the cast alloy.
[0083] The ingot was heated to 1250°C and held for 45 minutes. It was then hot forged at 700°C with a 60% deformation ratio and slowly cooled to room temperature. Heat treatment then followed: heating to 1220°C and holding for 7 hours, followed by air cooling, followed by aging at 650°C for 8 hours, and finally furnace cooling.
[0084] Comparative Example 2 (C2)
[0085] This comparative example provides a nickel-based alloy forging, which is prepared by mixing the raw materials according to the following mass percentages:
[0086] Mo: 13.0%, Cr: 7.5%, Al: 0.8%, Fe: 1.5%, Ti: 0.3%, C: 0.045%, Y: 0.3%, Sm: 0.3%, Gd: 0.2%, Ni: balance

[0096] Comparative experiment
[0097] In order to verify the comprehensive performance advantages of the alloy castings provided by the embodiments of the present invention, samples obtained from Example 1 (T1), Example 2 (T2), Example 3 (T3) and Comparative Example 1 (C1), Comparative Example 2 (C2), and Comparative Example 3 (C3) were selected respectively, standard specimens were prepared according to the same size, and impact toughness and wear resistance tests were carried out under the same test conditions.
[0098] (1) Impact toughness test
[0099] Impact toughness test was performed on standard metal impact specimens (10 mm × 10 mm × 55 mm with V-notch) using a standard pendulum impact tester at room temperature. Each sample was tested three times and the average value was taken. The results are shown in Table 1 and plotted. Figure 2 .
[0100] Table 1 Impact toughness test results
[0101]
[0102] (2) Wear resistance test
[0103] The wear resistance test adopts the end face wear method. Under the conditions of room temperature, load 200 N and rotation speed 300 rpm, each sample is rubbed for 60 minutes, and the friction coefficient and wear weight loss are recorded. The test results are shown in Table 2 and plotted. Figure 3 .
[0104] Table 2 Wear resistance test results
[0105]
[0106] Data Analysis
[0107] Combining the impact toughness and wear resistance test data of each group of samples in the table, the following analysis conclusions can be drawn:
[0108] 1. Microscopic morphology:
[0109] like Figure 1 As shown in Example 1, EBSD (electron backscatter diffraction) analysis of the alloy of the present invention reveals a uniform and dense grain structure exhibiting a typical equiaxed morphology. Grain sizes are concentrated between 5 and 12 μm, with no apparent coarse grains or abnormally large regions. A grain boundary misorientation map reveals a high proportion of high-angle grain boundaries and good grain boundary continuity, indicating that the forging and heat treatment processes effectively promote recrystallization and enhance structural stability. Furthermore, the lack of significant texture orientation in the orientation distribution map indicates a random distribution of grain orientations, which promotes isotropic mechanical properties under multiaxial stress states and further enhances the alloy's toughness and service reliability under complex loading conditions.
[0110] 2. Impact toughness performance
[0111] like Figure 2 As shown, the impact absorption energies of T1, T2, and T3 are all greater than 49 J, with T1 achieving the best performance at 52.6 J. The fracture surface features primarily fibrous plastic fracture, indicating the alloy's good plasticity and crack resistance. In contrast, the impact absorption energies of C1 to C3 are all below 40 J, with the lowest being 28.7 J for C3. The fracture surfaces are mostly characterized by cleavage fracture or coarse carbide interpenetration, indicating a strong tendency towards brittle fracture.
[0112] From an alloy design perspective, the synergistic effect of the appropriate Mo content and multiple rare earth elements in the example alloys effectively inhibited carbide coarsening and promoted fine, uniform precipitation, thereby enhancing the alloy's energy absorption capacity under impact loads. However, C1, due to its high Mo and rare earth element content, resulted in excessive precipitation and agglomeration of coarse carbides in the structure, weakening fracture toughness. C2, due to its use of a non-optimized rare earth combination of Y and Sm, exhibited suboptimal carbide precipitation morphology and failed to achieve effective refinement. C3, without the addition of rare earth elements, exhibited a coarse structure and significantly insufficient matrix strengthening.
[0113] 3. Wear resistance performance
[0114] like Figure 3 As shown in the wear test, T1 achieved the lowest wear weight loss of only 6.2 mg, maintaining a stable coefficient of friction at a low 0.38. The wear scars were smooth and had sharp edges, demonstrating excellent wear resistance. The wear weight losses of T2 and T3 were slightly higher than T1, but still far superior to the comparative samples.
[0115] Wear weight loss for C1 to C3 increased significantly, with C3 experiencing the highest wear loss of 13.2 mg. The friction coefficient fluctuated significantly, and the wear scar exhibited severe wear signs such as flaking, galling, and carbide shedding. Analysis revealed that the aging treatment in the examples promoted the uniform and dispersed precipitation of the molybdenum carbide reinforcement phase, effectively preventing abrasive erosion. In contrast, the coarse particles and uneven microstructure in the comparative examples easily formed localized wear channels at stress concentrations, leading to worsening wear.
[0116] 4. Comprehensive performance comparison
[0117] Experimental data shows that T1 exhibits the best overall performance, followed by T2 and T3, all of which offer both high toughness and good wear resistance. T1, through a comprehensive balance of Mo content, rare earth ratio, and heat treatment parameters, forms a dispersed molybdenum carbide reinforcement phase with a particle size of approximately 0.1 to 0.2 μm and an average spacing of less than 1 μm. This forms a stable network structure within the α-Ni matrix, providing the structural support for the material's excellent toughness and stable wear resistance.
[0118] The comparative samples showed varying degrees of performance degradation, including:
[0119] C1: heavier composition and coarser texture;
[0120] C2: The rare earth system is mismatched, and the carbide precipitation morphology is disordered;
[0121] C3: No rare earth added, lack of strengthening mechanism.
[0122] In summary, the experimental data fully verifies the comprehensive advantages of the Ni-Mo rare earth alloy proposed in the present invention in terms of ratio optimization, rare earth synergy, microstructure regulation and heat treatment strengthening. Its performance stability under high-load impact and high-wear service environments is significantly better than that of traditional solutions, and it is particularly suitable for harsh working conditions such as marine diesel engine frequency regulation wheels.
