Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heterogeneous alloys, and in particular to a functional gradient material of a nickel-based high-temperature alloy and a titanium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement and innovation of aerospace technology, the performance requirements for key components are increasing, requiring differentiated functional configurations for different parts, including but not limited to lightweight design, optimized wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and enhanced high-temperature tolerance. A single homogeneous material cannot simultaneously meet the comprehensive performance requirements of the complex aerospace service environment. The manufacture of heterogeneous alloy monolithic structures with multiple functions is increasingly becoming a bottleneck technology restricting the development of high-end equipment.

[0003] Titanium alloy is a lightweight structural material currently widely used in fields such as aerospace. It has a series of advantages such as low density, high specific strength and corrosion resistance. However, its high-temperature oxidation resistance and creep resistance are poor, its hardness is low, and it is easy to wear. At the same time, there is also the hidden danger of "titanium fire", which seriously limits the application of titanium alloy in high-temperature and wear environments. Nickel-based deformable high-temperature alloys have excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and creep resistance, and can maintain good structural stability and reliability at 600-800℃. However, its density is almost twice that of titanium alloy, and its large-scale use will inevitably greatly increase the weight of parts. The heterogeneous structure of titanium alloy / nickel-based high-temperature alloy can give full play to the respective advantages of the two materials and achieve complementary performance, thus obtaining a lightweight and multifunctional titanium alloy / nickel-based high-temperature alloy.

[0004] However, the following outstanding problems still exist in the preparation of titanium alloy / nickel-based high-temperature alloy heterostructures:

[0005] ①Ti and Ni can react to form a variety of Ti-Ni intermetallic compounds, which seriously deteriorate the mechanical properties of the heterogeneous alloy interface;

[0006] ②Ti and Ni heterogeneous metals have large differences in physical properties such as melting point, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal conductivity, which makes it very easy to generate large internal stress at the interface of heterogeneous alloys. Long-term service or complex thermal cycle processes can easily lead to cracks or even macroscopic fractures in the structure. Currently, solid-phase welding (diffusion welding, explosion welding, friction welding) or high-energy beam welding (laser welding, electron beam welding) and other technologies are mainly used to reduce or avoid the formation of a melting zone during the connection process, thereby reducing the probability of the formation of Ti-Ni brittle intermetallic compounds. However, the effect is not good, the joint performance is poor, and it is difficult to obtain application.

[0007] Therefore, providing a preparation method of nickel-based high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy functional gradient material is of great significance for improving the bonding strength of the heterogeneous alloy interface between nickel-based high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy.

[0049] The present application also provides a method for preparing a functionally gradient material of a nickel-based high-temperature alloy and a titanium alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0050] S1) selecting the elemental composition of each high entropy alloy layer in the gradient high entropy alloy intermediate layer according to the elemental composition of the titanium alloy and the nickel-based high-temperature alloy;

[0051] S2) determining the ratio of elements in each high entropy alloy layer to ensure metallurgical compatibility between adjacent alloy layers;

[0052] S3) preparing high entropy alloy powder for each high entropy alloy layer according to the ratio of elements in each high entropy alloy layer;

[0053] S4) Using laser melting deposition technology, high entropy alloy powder of each high entropy alloy layer is deposited layer by layer starting from the titanium alloy end, and finally the nickel-based high temperature alloy is deposited.

[0054] In the preparation method of the gradient functional material of nickel-based high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy provided in this application, the elemental composition of each high-entropy alloy layer in the gradient high-entropy alloy intermediate layer is first selected based on the elemental composition and content relationship of titanium alloy and nickel-based high-temperature alloy.

[0055] According to the present invention, the proportional relationship of the elements in each high entropy alloy layer is determined to ensure that adjacent alloy layers have metallurgical compatibility; in some specific embodiments, the proportional relationship of the elements in each high entropy alloy layer is determined through phase diagram thermodynamic calculation and experimental optimization to obtain each high entropy alloy layer with a gradual composition gradient.

[0056] The present application then prepares high entropy alloy powder for each high entropy alloy layer according to the ratio of elements in each high entropy alloy layer; the preparation method of the high entropy alloy powder is not particularly limited and can be prepared according to methods familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0057] According to the present invention, laser melting deposition technology is finally used to deposit high entropy alloy powder of each high entropy alloy layer layer by layer starting from the titanium alloy end, and finally the powder of the nickel-based high-temperature alloy is deposited. The laser melting deposition (LMD) technology is a metal additive manufacturing method based on a high-energy laser beam, which forms a solid material by melting metal powder layer by layer. In some specific embodiments, the laser power of the LMD technology is 800-1500W, the scanning speed is 300-800mm / min, and the powder feeding rate is 8-15g / s; specifically, the laser power of the LMD technology is 900-1300W, the scanning speed is 400-700mm / min, and the powder feeding rate is 10-14g / s; more specifically, the laser power of the LMD technology is 1000-1200W, the scanning speed is 400-600mm / min, and the powder feeding rate is 11-12g / s.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, the cooling rate of the laser molten pool of the LMD technology is 10 2 ~10 5 ℃ / s, specifically, the cooling rate is 10 3 ~10 4 The rapid cooling rate of the laser melt pool suppresses atomic diffusion and the formation of complex intermetallic compound phases in the high-entropy alloy layer, promoting the formation of a multicomponent solid solution structure with fine grains. The high-entropy alloy layer's solid solution formation tendency, delayed diffusion effect, and strong solid solution strengthening effect suppress the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds, thereby significantly improving the interfacial properties of the heterogeneous alloy. The specific implementation methods of the LMD technology are not particularly limited in this application and can be carried out according to methods familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0059] At the titanium alloy / nickel-based superalloy heterojunction, where intermetallic compounds are prone to forming, adding a high-entropy alloy layer as an intermediate transition layer can effectively prevent the formation of intermetallic compounds. The high degree of disorder and large lattice distortion of the high-entropy alloy in the gradient high-entropy alloy intermediate layer have a significant hysteresis effect on element diffusion, effectively blocking the mutual diffusion of Ti and Ni elements, further reducing the probability of intermetallic compound formation at the heterojunction interface.

[0060] In the gradient functional materials of nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys provided in this application, a high-entropy alloy gradient composite structure with a gradually varying composition is designed in a high-entropy alloy system with similar components, thereby solving the metallurgical compatibility problem of a single-component intermediate layer and achieving a smooth transition at the titanium alloy / nickel-based superalloy heterogeneous interface. The high-entropy alloy lattice structure exhibits severe distortion and deformation due to the chemical disorder of atomic occupancy, and has a strong solid solution strengthening effect. Using a high-entropy alloy as an intermediate layer can fully utilize the performance characteristics and advantages of the alloy and effectively improve the mechanical properties of the intermediate layer itself.

[0061] Furthermore, in the preparation process of functionally gradient materials, laser melting deposition (LMD) uses a high-energy laser beam as a heat source and powder as a raw material. Through layer-by-layer accumulation, it can quickly complete the "near-net-shape" manufacturing of complex components from the CAD model. By changing the delivered powder material in real time, it can directly realize the combination manufacturing of different materials. Compared with traditional processes, LMD has a unique forming principle advantage in the preparation of gradient material components. In addition, in the LMD process, the tiny laser molten pool has an extremely fast cooling rate (10 2 ~10 5 ℃ / s), which can effectively inhibit atomic diffusion and the generation of complex intermetallic compound phases in high entropy alloys, promote the formation of a multi-component solid solution structure with fine grains, improve the metallurgical compatibility of heterogeneous alloy interfaces, and enhance bonding strength.

[0062] In order to further understand the present invention, the gradient functional material of nickel-based high-temperature alloy and titanium alloy provided by the present invention and the preparation method thereof are described in detail below in combination with the embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the following embodiments.
