Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of investment casting of superalloys, and particularly relates to a method for removing ceramic mold shells of superalloy directional blades. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of aero-engine and gas turbine technologies, the performance requirements for blades are gradually increasing. Superalloy directional blades (i.e., the general term for superalloy single crystal blades and columnar crystal blades) have become the first choice for hot-end components of engines. Aero-engine superalloy single crystal turbine blades are prepared by investment precision casting. The mold shells used for casting are mainly alumina-based ceramic mold shells prepared with alumina as the matrix, silica sol as the binder, and an Al-Si-based mineralizer. Alumina-based ceramic mold shells have good chemical stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, high temperature resistance, good high-temperature creep resistance, and good chemical compatibility with active metal elements. However, their disadvantage is that they have high strength after casting and are difficult to remove. Therefore, it is necessary to research and explore the mold shell removal process to achieve high-quality development in China's aero-engine industry.

[0003] Traditional ceramic mold shells are removed by physical methods such as mechanical knocking and sandblasting. However, since this process will introduce plastic deformation on the surface of the turbine blade, the stored energy of this deformation will act as the driving force for recrystallization on the blade surface during subsequent heat treatment processes, thus affecting the service performance of the turbine blade. Therefore, nowadays, chemical corrosion methods are mostly used to remove the mold shells for casting aero-engine superalloy turbine blades.

[0004] A Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN104325120A relates to a method for removing a single crystal blade ceramic mold shell. This patent selects a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution with a weight concentration of 30 - 60% as the mold shell remover, heating temperature: 400°C - 600°C; pressure: 0.5MPAa - 2MPa; mold shell removal time: 6h - 24h. This method has too high requirements for temperature and low pressure in the reaction kettle, resulting in slow mold shell removal efficiency and being difficult to apply to the mold shell removal treatment of a large number of single crystal blades. To solve the pressure problem during mold shell removal, a Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN111992695B relates to a method for removing a ceramic mold shell of a single crystal superalloy blade. This patent selects a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with a weight concentration of 30 - 65% as the mold shell remover, and the mold shell removal heating temperature cycles between low and high temperatures. The low temperature range: 100 - 140°C, heat preservation time 1 - 30min, the high temperature range 200 - 370°C, high temperature heat preservation time 5 - 60min, mold shell removal pressurization pressure: 0.2 - 1.5MPa, mold shell removal time: 3 - 48h. This method can effectively remove the alumina-based ceramic mold shell, but this patent uses a complex heating and cooling system and requires external pre-charged pressure. The mold shell removal process is complex and costly, and it is difficult to apply to the mold shell removal treatment of a large number of single crystal superalloy blades. Summary of the Invention

After preparing the shelling agent at room temperature according to the ratio, add it into the reaction kettle 4 of the shelling device, or directly prepare the shelling agent in the reaction kettle 4;

[0050] S3. Start the shelling device to perform shelling treatment on the directional vane until the shelling is completed;

[0051] S4. Heat up the inside of the reaction kettle 4 through the shelling device. When the temperature rises to 80 - 150 °C, exhaust the gas. After exhausting the gas in the reaction kettle 4, stop and close the exhaust, and continue to heat up to 250 - 350 °C, and keep the temperature for 1 - 10 h. The holding pressure is 2 - 10 MPa; the specific parameters also need to be determined according to the number of directional vanes and the residual ratio of the shell;

By setting the heating installation platform 3, the reactor 4, the magnetic stirrer 9 and other structures, the shelling device does not need mechanical vibration, hydraulic and sand blowing methods to shell and core, thus avoiding damage to the blades. The stirring of the magnetic stirrer 9 and the shelling agent further improve the efficiency of directional blade shelling and core removal. A driving part 6 is arranged on one side of the upper end surface of the support frame 1. The driving part 6 is a motor in this embodiment, and the output end of the driving part 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 92 through a magnetic coupler 5.

By setting the rotating bracket 2 and the elevator 7, the shelling device can be conveniently installed and removed from the kettle cover 42 and the tooling grid frame 10, which further facilitates the operation of the shelling device.

[0059] Embodiment 4:

[0060] like Figures 6-9As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment of the above embodiment, the tooling grid 10 includes a grid 101. At the top edge of the grid 101, lifting lugs 103 are arranged at intervals. At the central position inside the grid 101, an inner barrel 104 is arranged. The inner barrel 104 is cylindrical. The chamber between the inner wall of the grid 101 and the outer wall of the inner barrel 104 is separated by partition plates 102 arranged at intervals.

[0061] Specific working principle:

[0062] Use the elevator 7 to place and install the grid frame 101 in the inner cavity of the reaction kettle 4 through the lifting lug 103.
