[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be specifically described below in combination with the drawings, wherein the drawings constitute a part of this application, and are used to illustrate the principles of the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
[0034] The existing forging process of the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging is a free forging process, which is carried out in one direction (axial direction) twice upsetting and drawing (or three times one-way upsetting and drawing), and the opening edge mode is adopted, specifically:
[0035] For example, Figure 2As shown, the one-way (axial) upsetting and drawing process includes: reducing the height of the blank along the axial upsetting, then drawing along the axial direction, completing the first axial upsetting and drawing; continuing to upset the axial drawn blank along the axial direction, then drawing along the axial direction, completing the second axial upsetting and drawing; continuing to upset the axial drawn blank along the axial direction, then drawing along the axial direction, completing the third axial upsetting and drawing; finally, axial upsetting, and then opening the edge to form the finished product.
[0036] However, the existing one-way upsetting and drawing process for preparing the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging may cause mixed grains, and the full surface of the probe has reached 1.6mm or even 1.2mm equivalent, which is the limit, and cannot meet the requirements of high-performance wheel disc (1.0mm or less can be explored).
[0037] The present application provides a forging method for a gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging, as shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:
[0038] Step 1: heat the steel ingot or blank and keep warm, and upset along the axial direction Z;
[0039] Step 2: draw along the first radial direction Y, then upset along the first radial direction Y;
[0040] Step 3: draw along the second radial direction X, then upset along the second radial direction X;
[0041] Step 4: draw along the axial direction Z, then upset along the axial direction Z;
[0042] Step 5: open the blank along the axial direction Z to the required height of the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging;
[0043] Step 6: punch a hole in the center of the forging, roll an external circle, and smooth it to obtain a gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging;
[0044] The first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X are perpendicular to the axial direction Z, and the first radial direction Y is perpendicular to the second radial direction X.
[0045] It should be noted that the axial direction Z is along the center axis of the steel ingot or blank, and the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X are along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction Z.
[0046] Compared with the prior art, the present application adopts a "three-way upsetting and drawing" method (i.e. upsetting and drawing along the axial direction Z, the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X respectively) for free forging, which is beneficial to improve the anisotropy of the forging, make the deformation of the entire forging uniform, fully refine the grains, improve the homogenization of the forging, meet the ultrasonic wave full surface ultra-small equivalent detectability of the forging, achieve a full surface sensitivity of 0.7mm equivalent detectable, and meet the requirement that the full surface sensitivity of the high-performance wheel disc shall not exceed 1.0mm.
[0047] Exemplarily, the ingot or the blank can be a cylinder or a prism.
[0048] If the ingot is a cylinder, the axial direction Z is along the central axis of the cylinder, and the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X are along any two perpendicular diameters of the cross section (circular section) of the cylinder; if the cylinder is a prism and the cross section is a rectangle, the axial direction Z is along the central axis of the prism, and the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X are along the long side and the short side or the short side and the long side of the rectangular cross section.
[0049] Exemplarily, in step 5, the opening along the axial direction Z to the height required by the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging includes: using a strip-shaped hammer head to rotate the edge to the height required by the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging.
[0050] Specifically, the strip-shaped hammer head has a length greater than the diameter of the forging, and the strip-shaped hammer head rotates the forging by an angle after each hammering on the surface of the forging until the height of the entire forging is pressed to the height required by the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging.
[0051] Exemplarily, the height of each hammering of the strip-shaped hammer head is 90-110 mm. If the height of each hammering is too high, it is difficult to control the flatness of the surface of the forging; if the height of each hammering is too low, it will cause low efficiency.
[0052] It should be noted that the height of the last hammering of the strip-shaped hammer head needs to be determined according to the target height of the forging.
[0053] Exemplarily, the angle of each rotation of the forging is 15°-30°. If the angle of each rotation of the forging is too large, it is difficult to control the flatness of the surface of the forging; if the height of each hammering is too low, it will cause low efficiency.
[0054] Exemplarily, the punching in the center of the forging adopts a punch.
[0055] Exemplarily, the rolling outer circle includes: vertically standing the forging along the radial direction, and using a hammer head to press the outer surface of the forging to be circular. This rolling outer circle method is simple and easy to implement.
[0056] Since the height of the forging in the Z direction will be higher during the rolling outer circle process, the flattening is to press the height of the forging after the rolling outer circle to the height required by the gas turbine compressor wheel disc forging again, and the specific operation method of the flattening can be the same as that of the opening.
[0057] In steps 1 to 4, the temperature of the blank is always kept not lower than 800℃. If the temperature of the blank drops to 800℃, the blank should be returned to the furnace for heating in time.
[0058] In the meantime, the forging fire times should not be too many, otherwise, the grains will be coarse. Therefore, the forging temperature and the forging fire times should be considered together, and the forging process with three fire times can be selected.
[0059] In step 1, the heating temperature is 1200-1270℃.
[0060] Specifically, the steel ingot is heated to 1200-1270℃ in a heating furnace, and is kept for 20-30h, and then the blank is taken out and upset along the axial direction Z (the height direction of the blank) on a large press; then the blank is drawn along the first radial direction Y, and then is upset along the first radial direction Y, to complete the first fire time forging.
[0061] In step 3, the blank is reheated for the second time before being drawn along the second radial direction X.
[0062] In step 3, the heating temperature is 1200-1270℃.
[0063] Specifically, the blank after the first fire time forging is reheated to 1200-1270℃ for the second time, and is kept for 20-30h, and then the blank is taken out and drawn along the second radial direction X on a press, and then is upset along the second radial direction X, and then is drawn along the axial direction Z, to complete the second fire time forging. At this time, the blank has been upset and drawn in the axial direction Z, the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X.
[0064] Further, in step 4, the blank is reheated for the third time before being upset along the axial direction Z.
[0065] In step 4, the heating temperature is 1200-1270℃.
[0066] Specifically, the blank after the second fire time forging is reheated to 1200-1270℃ for the third time, and is kept for 20-30h, and then the blank is taken out and upset along the axial direction Z on a press, to complete the third fire time forging.
[0067] Further, the blank is processed to have eight corners after each drawing, which is beneficial to the uniform bulging of the blank at the corner part during the upsetting process.
[0068] For the wheel disc forging, step 4 further includes: after being upset along the axial direction Z to a certain height, the wheel disc forging is rotated to open the edge by using a hammer head, to reach the required height of the wheel disc forging, and finally, the wheel disc forging is manufactured by punching a hole in the center, rolling an outer circle and flattening the edges.
[0069] Exemplarily, the total upsetting ratio of the blank in the axial direction Z, the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X is greater than 1.8, for example, 1.8-4, which is beneficial to the dynamic recrystallization of the forging blank, thereby further refining the grain and improving the ultrasonic full surface detectable equivalent sensitivity.
[0070] Exemplarily, the total upsetting ratio of the blank in the axial direction Z, the first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X is greater than 1.8, for example, 1.8-4, which is beneficial to the dynamic recrystallization of the forging blank, thereby further refining the grain and improving the ultrasonic full surface detectable equivalent sensitivity.
[0071] It should be noted that if the temperature of the blank in the third heating decreases below the final forging temperature (800℃), the forging cannot be completed in one heating, and the blank can be returned to the furnace for heating again, the heating temperature is 1100-1200℃, and the blank is taken out after a certain holding time for forging until the production of the forging is completed.
[0072] It should be noted that the distribution of forging heating times can be adjusted according to the actual temperature of the blank, for example, in the first heating, the temperature of the blank after being drawn in the first radial direction Y has decreased to the final forging temperature, and then the upsetting in the first radial direction Y in the original first heating can be performed in the second heating, and so on, the upsetting in the second radial direction X in the second heating can be performed in the third heating, and therefore, the total forging heating times will increase by one or two times, and therefore, the actual heating times can be determined according to the temperature of the blank on site. However, the more the heating times, the less the grain refinement, and therefore, the heating times should be reduced as much as possible under the condition of ensuring the temperature.
[0073] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging prepared by the above forging method.
[0074] The gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging has an ultrasonic full surface sensitivity of 1.0mm or less equivalent detectable.
[0075] Further, the gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging has a grain size of 6.5, and can have an ultrasonic full surface sensitivity of 0.7mm equivalent detectable.
[0076] Exemplarily, the diameter of the gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging is 1900-2100mm, and the height is 300-400mm. The gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging is an alloy steel containing nickel, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium elements.
[0077] Hereinafter, the gas turbine compressor wheel disk forging and the forging method thereof of the present application will be further described through specific examples.
[0078] In the following examples and comparative examples, the ultrasonic full surface detectable equivalent of the forging is detected by the equivalent method.

Finally, the manufacture of the wheel disc forge is completed by punching, rolling and flattening in the center of the forge.
[0085] The total upsetting ratio of the blank along the axial direction Z is 1200 ÷ 900 + 1770 ÷ 750 = 3.66, the total upsetting ratio of the blank along the first radial direction Y is 1800 ÷ 900 = 2, and the total upsetting ratio of the blank along the second radial direction X is 1770 ÷ 900 = 1.97.

[0087] The first radial direction Y and the second radial direction X are perpendicular to the axial direction Z, and the first radial direction Y is perpendicular to the second radial direction X.

[0111] Comparative Example 1
[0112] This comparative example provides a gas turbine compressor wheel forging and a forging method thereof, which is a unidirectional forging method, such as Figure 2 Shown, including:
[0113] First forging: Provide a cylindrical steel ingot with a cross-sectional diameter of 1250mm and a height H of 1200mm. Heat the ingot to 1270℃ in a heating furnace and keep it warm for 20 hours. Take out the billet and upset it 900mm along the axial direction Z on a large press; then square it 900mm along the Z direction and press it into an octagonal shape to complete the first forging.
[0114] Second heat: After the first heat, the billet is returned to the furnace for a second heating to 1270°C, held at that temperature for 20 hours, and then upset by 900mm in the Z direction, then squared by 900mm in the axial Z direction, and octagonalized. Next, it is upset by 900mm in the Z direction, then squared by 900mm in the axial Z direction, and octagonalized, completing the second heat. At this point, the billet completes the three-step upsetting and elongation process in the axial Z direction.
