Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material strengthening, and specifically relates to a method for strengthening and toughening a high-second-phase-content powder high-temperature alloy based on a multi-scale synergistic mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Powdered superalloys are a key structural material capable of maintaining excellent mechanical properties under long-term service conditions of 650°C to 850°C. They are widely used in high-temperature environments, such as high-performance aircraft engines, and are currently the preferred material for manufacturing turbine disks for high-thrust-to-weight ratio aircraft engines. As the thrust-to-weight ratio of aircraft engines continues to increase, powdered superalloys must simultaneously meet higher requirements for strength, toughness, and high-temperature stability.

[0003] Powder-coated superalloys with high second-phase content exhibit excellent strength and fatigue resistance due to their significant precipitation strengthening effects. However, in these alloys, after hot isostatic pressing (HIP), large second-phase particles often distribute along grain boundaries. This distribution pattern can lead to premature crack initiation, weakening the toughness of the material. Furthermore, the large second-phase particles have limited resistance to dislocation motion, preventing them from fully realizing their strengthening effect. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of powder metallurgy, these alloys inevitably contain defects such as uneven grain distribution and primary grain boundaries, which further reduce the strength and toughness of the material. Existing strengthening mechanisms, such as grain refinement and second-phase dispersion strengthening, can improve strength, but due to their single strengthening mechanism, they are often accompanied by a decrease in toughness, making it difficult to simultaneously meet the multiple strength and toughness requirements of superalloys under complex service conditions. Furthermore, in conventional high-second-phase-content powder-coated superalloys, the primary precipitation strengthening mechanism is γ′ above 55%, primarily through second-phase precipitation strengthening. Dispersion strengthening is achieved by adjusting the size and distribution of the second phase through solution and aging heat treatment after HIP, but this can lead to a decrease in toughness. For example, Chinese patent application CN117358924A discloses a method for grain boundary engineering of nickel-based alloys based on powder hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology and its application. This method achieves the technical effect of improving low ΣCSL grain boundaries, such as Σ3 grain boundaries, during HIP by screening powder and strictly setting HIP process conditions. However, this application only explores how to improve low ΣCSL grain boundaries in nickel-based alloys and does not address the relationship between high-order twin boundaries and grain boundary structure and the strength and toughness of superalloys. Chinese patent application CN114657488A discloses a process for increasing twin boundaries in nickel-based powder superalloys. This method increases twin boundaries through high-temperature double-pass compression and high-temperature solutionization, thereby improving the creep and fatigue resistance of nickel-based powder superalloys during high-temperature service. However, the increase in twin boundaries in this application is not significant, and it only improves the creep and fatigue resistance of nickel-based powder superalloys during high-temperature service. Therefore, to meet the service requirements of powder superalloys with high second-phase content, there is an urgent need to develop a technical method that can achieve simultaneous improvements in strength and toughness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a strengthening and toughening method based on a multi-scale synergistic mechanism. By introducing multiple strengthening mechanisms into the microstructure of the material, a synergistic effect of strengthening and toughening is achieved within a multi-scale range, which can effectively solve the problem of insufficient toughness of powder high-temperature alloys with high second-phase content. The multi-scale synergistic strengthening and toughening method proposed in the present invention specifically optimizes the size and distribution of the second phase, refines the matrix grain structure, introduces a large number of twin structures to optimize the interface, and reduces defects introduced by the metallurgical process, thereby significantly improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of the material under complex service conditions, providing important technical support for the strengthening and toughening of high-performance powder high-temperature alloys.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the present invention provides a method for strengthening and toughening a high-second-phase-content powder superalloy based on a multi-scale synergistic mechanism. This method has a short process flow and can produce a uniform microstructure with fine grains, a dispersed second phase, and numerous twins, thereby increasing both material strength and toughness.

[0006] The objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0007] The method for strengthening and toughening a high-second-phase-content powder high-temperature alloy based on a multi-scale synergistic mechanism of the present invention includes a billet pretreatment stage, a heating stage, a deformation stage, a rapid cooling stage, and a secondary cooling stage; The powder high-temperature alloy with a high second-phase content is a nickel-based powder high-temperature alloy prepared by a powder metallurgy process, with γ′ as the main precipitation strengthening phase and a molar fraction higher than 55%; The blank pretreatment stage includes processing the hot isostatically pressed blank into a predetermined size, wrapping the blank with a heat-insulating material, applying a lubricant between the heat-insulating material and the blank, and fixing the heat-insulating material to the blank; The heating stage includes heating the blank from room temperature to a temperature below the temperature at which the second phase completely dissolves, and maintaining the temperature, so that the blank is heated uniformly and the second phase particles enter a thermal equilibrium state; The deformation stage includes placing the fully homogenized billet under a press and deforming it at least once at a predetermined strain rate and deformation amount, so that the grains in the billet are refined, the second phase particles are redistributed and further dissolved, and a large number of deformation twins are obtained; The rapid cooling stage includes rapidly cooling the deformed billet to a temperature below the second phase precipitation transition point, so that the second phase particles in the billet are rapidly precipitated to obtain a dispersed second phase; and fully temperature-homogenizing the rapidly cooled billet so that the grains that have not yet been fully recrystallized are fully recrystallized to obtain uniform and fine grains, while also allowing the second phase particles to fully precipitate and improve their stability. The secondary cooling stage includes cooling the temperature-equilibrated billet to room temperature.

[0008] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the temperature below the complete dissolution temperature of the second phase is between 1120° C. and 1170° C.

[0009] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the insulation time of the heating stage is more than 20 minutes.

[0010] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the heating includes multi-stage heating. The inventors have found that as the size of the blank (workpiece) increases, segmenting the heating helps to evenly heat the blank and avoid negative defects such as cracking of the blank.

[0011] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the predetermined deformation amount is between 40% and 50%, and the predetermined strain rate is between 10 -2 -10 1 The inventors found that deformation rates below 40% do not accumulate sufficient deformation energy storage within the material, hindering grain refinement. Furthermore, due to the thermoplasticity of the alloy, deformation rates above 50% can cause deformation cracks in the alloy. Too low a strain rate can lead to rapid growth of recrystallized grains, significantly reducing the grain refinement strengthening effect, while too high a strain rate can dramatically increase the material's deformation resistance, potentially damaging the mold.

[0012] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the deformation includes multiple, different-directional extrusion deformations. The inventors have discovered that the number and direction of deformations can be adjusted according to the size and shape of the blank to achieve the desired effect during the process.

[0013] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the temperature below the second phase precipitation transition point is between 900-1000°C.

[0014] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the temperature equalization time in the rapid cooling stage is more than 10 hours.

[0015] In some possible implementations of the present invention, the cooling means in the secondary cooling stage includes one or more of air cooling, oil quenching, and gas quenching.

[0016] The toughening method of the present invention can be applied to the toughening treatment of high-temperature service parts such as aircraft engine disks and blades.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention is based on the following findings of the inventors. During the heating and holding stage, the powder high-temperature alloy billet is uniformly heated, and the second-phase γ′ particles therein enter a thermal equilibrium state, which is conducive to the subsequent redistribution and further dissolution of the second-phase particles in the deformation stage, while obtaining a large number of deformation twins, and at the same time helping to improve the stability of the organizational evolution. During the deformation stage, small deformations can partially refine the grains to produce some fine grains, while providing a certain driving force for the recrystallization of the alloy; small deformations at high temperatures can also introduce a large number of deformation twins into nickel-based high-temperature alloys that are difficult to obtain by traditional methods; a large number of dislocations appear in the billet structure during deformation, which provide channels for rapid diffusion of the second-phase particles, promote the redistribution and further dissolution of the second-phase particles, and help to obtain a dispersed second phase in the subsequent rapid cooling stage. In the rapid cooling stage, the blank is quickly cooled to a limited temperature, so that the second-phase particles that have been redistributed and further dissolved can be quickly precipitated to obtain a dispersed second phase. These dispersed second phases pin the grain boundaries to prevent the fine grains obtained in the deformation stage from growing in subsequent processes such as temperature equalization. In the temperature equalization process, the grains that have not yet been fully recrystallized are fully recrystallized to obtain uniform fine grains and form a large number of annealing twins. At the same time, the second-phase particles are fully precipitated and their stability is improved, which is equivalent to a solution treatment. This can reduce or even omit the solution step in the traditional heat treatment process.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The method of the present invention combines a limited heating temperature, a small deformation process on the fully heated billet, and a temperature uniformization of the billet after rapid cooling to a limited temperature, thereby achieving fine grain strengthening, twin strengthening and second-phase dispersion strengthening of the nickel-based high-temperature alloy in a single heating process. The synergy of the three greatly improves the strength of this type of alloy while improving its toughness, thereby meeting the service requirements of high-performance aircraft engine turbine disks.

[0020] 2. Compared with other plastic deformation-solution-aging processes, the method of the present invention can reduce at least two heatings during solution and aging (for multi-stage aging, multiple heatings are required, and single-stage aging requires one heating), shortening the process flow and saving energy.

[0048] Comparative Example:

[0049] See also Figure 3 In this comparative example, a conventional strengthening and toughening method of a high second phase content powder superalloy is shown, comprising the following stages:

[0050] (1) Solution heating and holding stage: Using a billet of the same size and material as in Example 1, the solution heating process curve was set to two sections. The first section had a heating rate of 20°C / min, a heating temperature of 700-800°C, and a holding time of 30 minutes. The second section had a heating rate of 10°C / min, a heating temperature of 1170-1200°C (i.e., a temperature above the temperature at which γ′ completely dissolves back), and a holding time of 8 hours. The billet was placed in a heating furnace and heated according to the set solution heating process curve to ensure that the second phase particles were completely dissolved and the grains grew to a steady state.
