Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a Ti2AlNb alloy disc forging and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of materials. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new generation of lightweight high-temperature structural material, Ti2AlNb-based alloy has become a key candidate material (such as high-pressure compressor disc, casing and other rotating parts) for aero-engine serving in a 650-750 DEG C environment, due to its low density, excellent high-temperature specific strength, creep resistance and oxidation resistance. However, the alloy is a long-range ordered intermetallic compound, and the complex multi-component phase equilibrium (involving the coexistence of B2 / β phase, O phase and alpha2 phase) leads to that the microstructure is extremely sensitive to the hot working parameters. This characteristic makes the Ti2AlNb alloy forging face the core bottleneck of difficult microstructure regulation and unbalanced performance matching in the heat treatment process - the traditional solid solution + aging double heat treatment is difficult to coordinate the contradiction between room temperature plasticity, fracture toughness and high-temperature strength, and endurance performance.

[0003] The existing heat treatment scheme for Ti2AlNb alloy has significant limitations:

[0004] Fracture toughness and comprehensive performance imbalance: although CN114790524A proposes high-temperature die forging above the beta phase transition point by 50-100 DEG C + triple heat treatment to improve fracture toughness, the method needs to be forged in the beta single-phase region (> 1050 DEG C), which is high in energy consumption and has a high risk of microstructure coarsening. Although the composition range (Al: 9.5-13%, Nb: 38-46%) is relatively wide, the process focuses on a single toughness index, and the problem of synergistic optimization of high-temperature strength and plasticity is not solved, and the thermal stability performance of the embodiments is poor, and the elongation and area reduction of the sample after 650 DEG C for 100 h heat exposure decreases greatly.

[0005] Endurance performance and room temperature plasticity are difficult to be considered: CN112063945A designs a three-stage heat treatment (30-5 DEG C below the beta phase transition point -> 20 DEG C above the first stage -> 700-820 DEG C aging) to improve the endurance creep performance, but the homogenization temperature of the first stage (30-5 DEG C below the phase transition point) is still high, which leads to insufficient retention of primary alpha2 / O phase (volume fraction > 10%), which limits the plasticity improvement space, and the energy consumption is high. The reported room temperature elongation (12.5%) and endurance life (650 DEG C / 360 MPa about 166 h) are better than those of the traditional process, but the uniformity control of the microstructure of the thick section of the forging is not involved.

[0006] Plate process cannot be transplanted to forgings: CN119736568A develops multi-stage heat treatment (960-1030℃→880-950℃→760-840℃) for 0.8-4mm thick superplastic sheet, and optimizes the strength and toughness matching through multi-scale O-phase lath distribution. However, there are great differences between thin plates and forgings with thickness of 15-60mm: firstly, the rolling strain of sheet is uniform, while the forgings are prone to have structure gradient due to uneven deformation; secondly, the cooling rate of thin plate is fast, and the phase transformation kinetics of thick section of forgings is significantly different during heat treatment cooling, so directly applying the sheet process will lead to core structure coarsening and uneven performance.

[0007] In particular, as the core load-bearing component of an aero-engine, the disc forging needs to meet strict indicators in terms of room temperature high plasticity, sufficient fracture toughness, 650℃ high temperature strength, creep resistance, and microstructure stability after long-term thermal exposure.

[0008] Currently, there is no mature heat treatment scheme that can systematically solve the above-mentioned needs, which seriously restricts the engineering application of Ti2AlNb alloy in aero rotating parts. SUMMARY
