Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine technology, and more specifically to a high-performance turbine disk forging for gas turbines and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Gas turbines, with their high efficiency, flexibility, and low emissions, are widely used in power energy, industrial drives, transportation, and national defense, becoming one of the core equipment for energy transformation and industrial upgrading. Their core component, the turbine disk, needs to operate for extended periods in harsh environments such as high temperature, high stress, high speed, and corrosive gases, thus placing extremely stringent performance requirements on it. With the development of gas turbines, the turbine disk manufacturing process has continuously increased the use of alloying elements to meet the requirements for high-performance forgings. However, this has also brought significant challenges to the development and preparation of alloy forgings. The large increase in alloying elements easily leads to cracking during forging and heat treatment, as well as problems with microstructure uniformity. Traditional manufacturing processes have poor overall performance and cannot meet the requirements of advanced gas turbines for high-performance turbine disks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a high-performance turbine disk forging for gas turbines and its preparation method.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A high-performance turbine disk forging for gas turbines, wherein the raw material composition of the forging comprises, by weight percentage: C: 0.08–0.16%, Si ≤ 0.12%, Mn ≤ 1.03%, Ni: 1.95–2.55%, Cr: 9.65–10.25%, Mo: 0.53–1.15%, V: 0.14–0.26%, Nb: 0.03–0.07%, Ta: 0.01–0.05%, B: 0.0005%–0.0060%, N: 0.005–0.035%, Al ≤ 0.02%, P ≤ 0.015%, S ≤ 0.015%, Sb ≤ 0.0015%, Cu ≤ 0.10%, Sn ≤ 0.013%, As ≤ 0.017%, with the remainder being Fe.

[0005] Preferably, the raw material composition of the wheel forging, by weight percentage, includes: C: 0.09%, Si: 0.05%, Mn: 0.91%, Ni: 2.15%, Cr: 9.85%, Mo: 0.77%, V: 0.16%, Nb: 0.05%, Ta: 0.02%, B: 0.0012%, N: 0.007%, Al: 0.005%, P: 0.007%, S: 0.008%, Sb: 0.008%, Cu: 0.07%, Sn: 0.006%, As: 0.004%, with the remainder being Fe.

[0006] Preferably, the raw material composition of the wheel forging, by weight percentage, includes: C: 0.10%, Si: 0.06%, Mn: 1.00%, Ni: 2.45%, Cr: 10.0%, Mo: 0.89%, V: 0.23%, Nb: 0.03%, Ta: 0.04%, B: 0.002%, N: 0.02%, Al: 0.01%, P: 0.009%, S: 0.009%, Sb: 0.005%, Cu: 0.04%, Sn: 0.008%, As: 0.009%, with the remainder being Fe.

[0007] A method for preparing a high-performance turbine disk forging for gas turbines includes the following steps: S1: Melt the wheel forgings into steel ingots according to their raw material composition; S2: The steel ingot is forged by free forging and cut into blanks according to the required size of the turbine disk; S3: The billet is die-forged to obtain a steel billet; S4: The steel billet is die-forged to obtain the turbine disk forging; S5: Preheat and perform performance heat treatment on the turbine disk forging.

[0008] Preferably, in step S1, the smelting method is alkaline electric arc furnace smelting followed by vacuum deoxidation and refining outside the furnace.

[0009] Preferably, in step S2, the steel ingot obtained in step S1 needs to undergo a first homogenization treatment before free forging. The first homogenization treatment adopts a stepped heating method: the steel ingot is placed in a heating furnace and heated to 880℃~930℃, held for 4~6 hours, and then heated to 1180℃~1230℃, held for 10 hours~15 hours. During free forging, the steel ingot needs to be pressed, chamfered, and the sprue removed, and then upset, drawn, and rounded. The upsetting deformation during the free forging process is 20%~50%, and the drawing deformation is 25%~70%.

[0010] Preferably, in step S3, during die forging, the billet undergoes a second homogenization treatment before forging. This second homogenization treatment employs a stepped heating method: the billet is placed in a heating furnace and heated to 870℃~920℃, held for 2~3 hours, and then further heated to 1190℃~1210℃, held for 6 hours~10 hours. The deformation of the billet flange is 25%~50%, and the deformation of the hub is 10%~20%.

[0011] Preferably, in step S4, before die forging, the steel billet undergoes a third homogenization treatment; the third homogenization treatment adopts a stepped heating method: the steel billet is placed in a heating furnace and heated to 860℃~900℃, held for 2~3 hours, and then heated to 1170℃~1200℃, held for 5 hours~8 hours; in the die forging, the flange deformation is 3%~9%, and the hub deformation is 20%~30%.

[0012] Pre-forging high-temperature homogenization treatment can reduce segregation and optimize the welding ability of internal defects, thereby improving the uniformity of composition and structure. Simultaneously, the plasticity of alloy steel increases at high temperatures, and prolonged heat treatment promotes the escape of gases (such as H2 and N2) from the pores, reducing internal pressure and preventing the pores from expanding into cracks during forging. Incorporating multiple high-temperature homogenization treatments during the forging process can further enhance these beneficial effects.

[0013] In this invention, the free forging blank mainly produces a broken as-cast structure, eliminates macroscopic segregation, and improves the effect of subsequent die forging deformation. During die forging, pressure is applied in a closed cavity to force metal flow, promotes dynamic recrystallization, further refines the grains, and improves the uniformity of the microstructure.

[0014] Preferably, in step S5, the preheating treatment includes normalizing and a first tempering. The normalizing process involves placing the turbine disk forging into a heating furnace, first heating it to 660℃~680℃, holding it at that temperature for 2~3 hours, then continuing to heat it to 1130℃~1150℃, holding it at that temperature for 8 hours~10 hours, and then removing it from the furnace and air-cooling it to below 200℃. The first tempering process involves first heating it to 250℃~350℃, holding it at that temperature for 2~3 hours, then heating it to 660~680℃, holding it at that temperature for 10~15 hours, then cooling it in the furnace to ≤200℃, and then removing it from the furnace and air-cooling it to room temperature.

[0015] Preferably, in step S5, the time for lifting the forging from the heat treatment furnace into the water tank is less than 5 minutes; the water tank is equipped with a motor to continuously stir the water flow, thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the forging and preventing the steam film from affecting the cooling uniformity; the temperature of the oil tank is controlled at 50℃~80℃, and the cooling speed of the forging is controlled at 20~30℃ / s, so as to reduce the stress generated by the martensitic transformation and prevent the forging from cracking.

[0016] Preferably, in step S5, the performance heat treatment includes quenching and a second tempering. The quenching process involves placing the turbine disk forging into a heating furnace, heating it to 660℃~680℃, holding it for 2~3 hours, then continuing to heat it to 1080℃~1100℃, holding it for 10 hours~15 hours, then water-cooling it to 700℃~750℃, then oil-cooling it to 300℃~330℃, and finally air-cooling it to room temperature. The second tempering process involves first heating it to 250℃~350℃ and holding it for 2~3 hours; then heating it to 730~750℃ and holding it for 10~15 hours; and then furnace-cooling it to room temperature.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: (1) By rationally controlling the chemical composition ratio of the wheel material elements, strictly controlling the C element content, increasing the Co element to inhibit the precipitation of δ ferrite, adding Cr, Ni, Mo, V and adding trace elements such as Nb, Ta, B, N, etc., and strictly controlling the content of harmful elements, the steel has comprehensive properties such as beneficial heat resistance, durability and oxidation resistance.

[0018] (2) Forgings are prepared by free forging + die forging, pre-forging homogenization treatment and post-forging optimized heat treatment. Multiple homogenization heat treatments further eliminate the segregation of microstructure in the forgings; the free forging + die forging mode makes the deformation of each part of the forging relatively uniform; the optimized heat treatment process further improves the comprehensive performance, and the strength and toughness of the forgings are reasonably matched; making the forgings of the present invention less prone to cracking during the preparation process, with excellent microstructure uniformity and a yield of over 96%.

[0019] (3) The forging properties obtained by this invention are as follows: room temperature tensile strength Rm≥1050MPa, yield strength RP0.2≥930MPa, elongation A≥12%, reduction of area Z≥45%, impact performance KV2≥42J, hardness HBW250~300, and the hardness of any two points in the circumferential direction of the flange does not exceed 25HBW; ductile-brittle transition temperature FATT50≤21℃; residual stress≤52MPa; tensile strength Rm≥850MPa at 450℃, yield strength RP0.2≥745MPa, elongation A≥12%, reduction of area Z≥45%; creep rupture time at 600℃ and 280MPa≥100h. This meets the requirements for the use of high-performance turbine disk forgings for gas turbines. Attached Figure Description

The forging is lifted from the heat treatment furnace into the water bath within 3 minutes; the water bath is equipped with a motor to continuously agitate the water flow, accelerating the cooling rate of the forging while preventing the vapor film from affecting the cooling uniformity. During oil cooling, the temperature of the oil bath is controlled at 60℃~80℃, and the cooling rate of the forging is controlled at 20~30℃ / s to reduce the stress generated by the martensitic transformation and prevent cracking of the forging.

[0045] S500B: The turbine disk forging is preheated and subjected to performance heat treatment.

[0046] The turbine disk forgings underwent preheating treatment, including normalizing and a first tempering. Normalizing involved placing the forgings in a furnace, heating to 660℃~680℃, holding for 2 hours, then further heating to 1130℃~1150℃ and holding for 8 hours.

[0047] Mechanical properties of the turbine disk forgings obtained in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested. Room temperature and high temperature tensile properties were tested according to GB / T 228.1—2010 Metallic Materials—Tensive Testing—Part 1: Room Temperature Test Method and GB / T 228.2—2015 Metallic Materials—Tensive Testing—Part 2: High Temperature Test Method, respectively; impact energy and ductile-brittle transition temperature were tested according to GB / T 229—2007 Metallic Materials—Charpy Pendulum Impact Test Method; hardness was tested according to GB / T 231.1—2018 Metallic Materials—Britton Hardness Test—Part 1: Test Method; short-term creep was tested according to GB / T 2039-2012 Metallic Materials—Uniaxial Tensile Creep Test Method; residual stress was tested according to JB / T 8888—2018 Test Method for Measuring Residual Stress in Steam Turbine and Steam Generator Rotor Forgings using the Ring Core Method.

Specifically, the C and V elements exceed the specified upper limits, and Nb, Ta, B, and N elements are not added. Although the plasticity, impact resistance, hardness, and uniformity meet the technical requirements, the tensile strength, creep rupture properties, and FATT of the forgings are inferior. 50The forgings failed to meet the technical requirements for high-performance turbine disk forgings used in gas turbines. While the forgings in Comparative Example 2 used the same chemical composition as those in Example 2, the forging manufacturing process differed. Specifically, the homogenization heat treatment temperatures and holding times were insufficient, the quenching temperature was low, the holding time was short, and water cooling and temperature control during the quenching process were not implemented. Additionally, the tempering temperature was low. This resulted in the turbine disk forgings meeting the room temperature tensile strength requirements, but exhibiting deficiencies in room temperature plasticity, high-temperature tensile strength, impact resistance, and FATT (Flattement-to-Temperature) performance. 50、 The durability and residual stress did not meet the requirements. Therefore, the synergistic effect of the element ratio and preparation process in this invention enables the forging material properties to meet the requirements for high-performance turbine disk forgings for gas turbines.
