Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of hot processing of metal materials, and in particular relates to a GH4169 alloy bar forging method utilizing a coating to protect the surface. Background Art
[0002] GH4169 alloy is a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based superalloy. Its yield strength in the temperature range of -253 to 650°C ranks first among deformable superalloys. It has excellent fatigue resistance, radiation resistance, and corrosion resistance. It is the most widely used deformable superalloy both domestically and internationally, with an annual output of over 20,000 tons, accounting for over 50% of the total output of deformable superalloys. GH4169 alloy has good deformation properties, but the material surface temperature drops rapidly during forging, and the forging window is narrow, which can easily lead to mixed crystals on the material surface. Existing production often uses asbestos to coat the material to slow the temperature drop, but this produces a large amount of waste.
[0003] The present invention provides a GH4169 alloy bar forging method using a coating to protect the surface, which can be used to solve the problem of mixed crystals on the surface of the material that is easily seen in the existing forging technology and reduce pollution.

After forging, the material is air-cooled.
[0010] Preferably, the ingot in step 1 is a GH4169 alloy ingot, which is smelted by a triple melting process of vacuum induction melting, protective atmosphere electroslag remelting, and vacuum consumable melting. The ingot diameter is 420 mm to 550 mm, and its chemical composition is as follows: carbon ≤ 0.06%, chromium 17.00% to 21.00%, nickel 50.00% to 55.00%, cobalt ≤ 1.0%, molybdenum 2.80% to 3.30%, aluminum 0.30% to 0.70%, titanium 0.75% to 1.15%, niobium 5.00% to 5.50%, boron ≤ 0.006%, magnesium ≤ 0.005%, manganese ≤ 0.35%, silicon ≤ 0.35%, sulfur ≤ 0.002%, phosphorus ≤ 0.015%, copper ≤ 0.30%, tantalum ≤ 0.10%, calcium ≤ 0.005%, oxygen ≤ 0.005%, nitrogen ≤ 0.01%, and the rest is iron.
[0011] Preferably, during the forging process described in steps 1, 2 and 4, the upsetting rate is 10 mm / s to 20 mm / s, the drawing rate is 40 mm / s to 60 mm / s, and the drawing is performed in a radial direction.
[0012] Preferably, the coating used in step 3 needs to be dried or air-dried between each spraying or brushing, and the coating needs to cover the surface of the material evenly and flatly.
