Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of metal material plating, and particularly relates to a method for plating a wear-resistant coating on the serrated crown of a γ-TiAl material turbine blade. Background Art
[0002] As a core component, the turbine blade of an aeroengine works in a harsh environment of high temperature, high pressure, high-speed strong turbulence and multi-source large-load alternating action for a long time, and its performance directly affects the reliability and efficiency of the engine. The serrated crown, also known as the "Z"-shaped crown, is an important structure of the turbine blade. The working surface adopts a tightness design, which can reduce the air leakage from the blade basin to the blade back at the tip, reduce the underflow loss of the turbine component, and improve the turbine efficiency through the close fit of the contact surface; after the adjacent crowns are pressed tightly, the twist and bending deformation of the blade can be reduced, the rigidity of the blade can be enhanced, and the vibration frequency of the blade can be increased; the friction between adjacent crowns can absorb the energy generated by the blade vibration, playing a role in shock absorption and suppressing vibration. However, during service, the contact surface of the serrated crown is prone to oxidation, wear and even fretting fatigue due to frequent friction, thermal shock and fretting wear, which may lead to crack initiation or propagation, seriously affecting the service life and safety of the blade. The γ-TiAl-based material is considered an ideal choice for the new generation of high-temperature structural materials due to its low density (about 4.0 g / cm 3 )、high elastic modulus, good high-temperature strength and creep resistance. Replacing nickel-based superalloys with it can significantly reduce the weight of components, improve the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine, and reduce fuel consumption and emissions. However, the γ-TiAl material has a relatively low hardness (HV300-500), weak wear resistance and fretting wear resistance, is prone to oxidation at high temperatures, has a large brittleness, and surface damage may lead to catastrophic failure. Therefore, plating a wear-resistant coating on the contact surface of the serrated crown has become a key measure to extend the service life and improve the reliability of γ-TiAl material turbine blades.
[0003] At present, the plating methods for wear-resistant coatings on the contact surface of serrated crowns mainly include microbeam argon arc surfacing, vacuum high-temperature brazing and laser cladding, etc. However, these methods have many deficiencies. Microbeam argon arc surfacing is prone to cause deformation or oxidation of the TiAl matrix due to the high arc temperature and large heat input, resulting in welding defects and too long heat affected zone, seriously restricting the safe use of the blade; at the same time, the process is complex, requires inert gas protection, and has a high cost. The vacuum brazing layer is prone to softening or oxidation at high temperatures, with insufficient long-term reliability, and the wettability between the brazing filler metal and the hard wear-resistant layer material is poor, making it difficult to form a high-performance coating. Although laser cladding is metallurgical bonding, its high heat input is prone to cause coating cracking during the rapid cooling process, and tempering treatment is required to eliminate stress.
[0004] The coated area on the contact surface of the blade serrated crown is small, and the high-temperature and high-speed flame flow erosion is large during supersonic flame spraying. How to effectively protect the non-sprayed area from overspray is the key to using the supersonic flame spraying process. High-temperature pressure-sensitive tape is a commonly used protection tool, but it is extremely easy to burn at high temperature during the supersonic flame spraying process, resulting in protection failure. The non-coated area of the blade is protected with high-temperature resistant mastic, and only the contact surface area of the serrated crown is exposed, and then it is placed in a drying oven at 100 °C and heated for 30 minutes for curing. The spraying test results show that the cured mastic cannot resist the high-temperature and high-speed flame flow erosion, the consumption speed is too fast, and the deformation is serious, so it cannot effectively protect the non-coated area. The shaped rubber tooling produces obvious deformation after only 5 times of supersonic flame spraying flame flow erosion.
[0005] In addition, the existing coating technologies generally have problems such as high heat input, low construction efficiency, and poor adaptability to complex shapes, and cannot meet the high-efficiency production requirements of the wear-resistant coating for the serrated crown of γ-TiAl material turbine blades. Therefore, developing a wear-resistant coating plating method suitable for the serrated crown of γ-TiAl material turbine blades, which can effectively reduce the heat input, improve the coating quality and production efficiency, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.
