The raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used herein can be purchased or prepared by existing methods.
[0042] The Co-Cr-Mo welding wire provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises:
[0043] A metal powder core, which comprises, in mass fraction, the following chemical components: Cr+Mo≥20%, Si, and Co-based powder;
[0044] A cobalt-based welding strip, which is coated on the surface of the metal powder core, and comprises, in mass fraction, the following chemical components: Co≥90%, Fe≤5%, and trace elements≤5%, the trace elements comprising one or more of Si, Mn, Al, B, W, and rare earth elements.
[0045] In one aspect, the embodiments of the present application rationally design the chemical components of the metal powder core. Cr and Mo are key alloying elements, which can significantly improve the high-temperature strength, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance of the welding wire. For example, in a high-temperature service environment, such as gas turbine blade repair, Cr and Mo can form a dense oxide film, effectively preventing the erosion of the high-temperature gas to the substrate, and improving the service life of the material. The addition of Si element helps to improve the fluidity of the molten pool, promote the deoxidation process, reduce welding defects, and improve the welding quality. A suitable Si content can reduce the surface tension of the molten pool, making the molten pool more easily spread and fill the weld, and at the same time, form oxides such as SiO2 by combining with oxygen, thereby reducing defects such as pores and inclusions in the weld.
[0046] In another aspect, the embodiments of the present application rationally design the chemical composition of the cobalt-based welding strip. A high content of Co endows the welding strip with excellent ductility, corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength, ensuring the formability of the welding wire during the processing and the stability in the use environment. For example, in the field of biological medicine, its good corrosion resistance can effectively avoid the corrosion of the implant in the human body environment, ensuring its long-term safety and reliability. The appropriate addition of Fe can adjust the strength and toughness of the material to some extent. Trace elements have different effects. Si in the welding strip cooperates with Si in the metal powder core to further improve the welding performance; Mn helps to improve the strength and toughness of the material; Al can improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the material, such as playing an important role in the repair of high-temperature service gas turbine blades; B can improve the fluidity of the molten pool, which is of great significance in the field of precise welding such as electronic packaging; W can improve the wear resistance of the material, which has important application in the field of chemical equipment manufacturing; rare earth elements can refine the grains and improve the comprehensive performance of the material.
[0047] In some embodiments, the sum of the content of Si in the metal powder core and the content of Si in the cobalt-based welding strip is ≥3% by mass fraction;
[0048] The mass ratio of Cr to Mo in the metal powder core is 3:1-5:1.
[0049] Limiting the sum of the content of Si in the metal powder core and the content of Si in the cobalt-based welding strip to ≥3% can ensure that there is enough Si to play a role in improving the fluidity of the molten pool and deoxidation during welding, thereby effectively improving the welding quality and reducing the occurrence of welding defects.
[0050] Limiting the mass ratio of Cr to Mo in the metal powder core to 3:1-5:1, Cr and Mo can synergize with each other and fully exert their advantages in improving high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance. For example, when the content of Cr is relatively high, a denser oxide film can be formed to improve the oxidation resistance; and the appropriate proportion of Mo helps to enhance the high-temperature strength and pitting corrosion resistance of the material, and the two cooperate with each other to make the welding wire exhibit excellent performance in harsh environments such as high temperature and corrosion. For example, the mass ratio of Cr to Mo in the metal powder core can be 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 4.2:1, 4.5:1, 4.8:1, 5:1, etc.
[0051] In some embodiments, the diameter φ of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire is 1.5-3.0 mm, and the thickness of the cobalt-based welding strip is 0.1-0.4 mm.
[0052] The diameter φ of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire is limited to 1.5mm-3.0mm, which can meet the needs of various welding processes and application scenarios. For example, in the field of precision welding such as electronic packaging, a smaller diameter welding wire can be selected to achieve high-precision welding; while in the welding of large structural parts such as chemical equipment manufacturing, a larger diameter welding wire can improve the welding efficiency. For example, the diameter φ of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire can be 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.0mm, 2.3mm, 2.5mm, 2.7mm, 3.0mm, etc.
[0053] The thickness of the cobalt-based welding strip is limited to 0.1mm-0.4mm, which is reasonably adjusted according to the diameter of the welding wire to ensure that the welding wire has good structural stability and processing performance. Thinner welding strips are suitable for small-diameter welding wires and can better achieve coating and processing; while thicker welding strips are suitable for large-diameter welding wires and provide sufficient strength and protection. For example, the thickness of the cobalt-based welding strip can be 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, etc.
[0054] In some embodiments, the particle size D50 of the metal powder core is 20μm-50μm, and the volume ratio of the metal powder core to the total volume of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire is ≥30%.
[0055] The particle size D50 of the metal powder core is limited to 20μm-50μm, which can ensure the uniformity of the metal powder core during mixing and processing, and is beneficial to improve the consistency and stability of the composition of the welding wire. For example, the particle size D50 of the metal powder core can be 20μm, 25μm, 30μm, 35μm, 40μm, 45μm, 50μm, etc.
[0056] The volume ratio of the metal powder core to the total volume of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire is ≥30%, which can fully play the role of alloying elements in the metal powder core and improve the overall performance of the welding wire. For example, in high-temperature service welding wire, a higher powder core ratio can allow more Cr, Mo and other elements to participate in the improvement of high-temperature performance, enhancing the oxidation resistance and creep resistance of the welding wire in high-temperature environments.
[0057] In some embodiments, the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire satisfies the following performance: elongation 30%-40%, tensile strength 800MPa-850MPa, no rust after 300h salt spray test, welding spatter rate ≤3%, interface layer hardness HV 450-500, core hardness HV 300-350.
[0058] The Co-Cr-Mo welding wire of the embodiments of the present application satisfies the following performance:
[0059] The elongation is 30% to 40%, and the higher elongation can make the welding wire better adapt to deformation during processing and welding, and is not easy to break, thereby improving the reliability of processing and welding; for example, the elongation of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire can be 30%, 32%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 39%, 40%, etc.
[0060] The tensile strength is 800 MPa to 850 MPa, which ensures that the welded joint has sufficient strength and can withstand a certain load; for example, the tensile strength of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire can be 800 MPa, 810 MPa, 820 MPa, 825 MPa, 830 MPa, 840 MPa, 845 MPa, 850 MPa, etc.
[0061] The salt spray test is 300h without rust, which indicates that the welding wire has excellent corrosion resistance and can maintain good performance in humid, corrosive and other harsh environments, and is suitable for marine engineering, chemical equipment and other fields;
[0062] The welding spatter rate is less than or equal to 3%, and the low welding spatter rate not only can save welding materials and reduce costs, but also can improve the quality and appearance of the welded joint and reduce subsequent processing procedures.
[0063] The interface layer hardness HV is 450 to 500, and the core hardness HV is 300 to 350, and such a gradient hardness structure helps to improve the interface bonding strength, so that the welding wire can better transmit stress during welding, while ensuring that the core has certain toughness, improving the uniformity of the welding wire cladding, and reducing welding spatter.
[0064] Figure 1 A flowchart of a preparation method of a Co-Cr-Mo welding wire provided in the embodiments of the present application is shown.
[0065] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a preparation method of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire described in any one of the above embodiments, and the method comprises:
[0066] S1, respectively obtaining a metal powder core and a cobalt-based welding strip with the chemical composition;
[0067] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the metal powder core comprises: mixing metal powder raw materials according to a designed proportion, and adopting a planetary ball mill (rotation speed 300 rpm, time 4h) to obtain uniform powder (particle size D50=20-50μm).
[0068] S2, wrapping the cobalt-based welding strip on the surface of the metal powder core through a U-shaped forming die, and high-frequency induction welding a longitudinal seam under argon protection to obtain a wrapped welding strip;
[0069] It should be noted that the S2 step is specifically: first, the cobalt-based welding strip is cut into a strip with a width of 5-15 mm, and a suitable width can ensure good adhesion and processability when the metal powder core is wrapped. Then, the strip is bent into a U shape through a U-shaped forming die, so that it can tightly wrap the metal powder core. High-frequency induction welding is performed on the longitudinal seam under argon protection. The role of argon is to exclude air in the welding area to prevent oxidation and ensure welding quality. High-frequency induction welding can quickly heat the weld, forming a good metallurgical bond between the welding strip and the powder core, while reducing the range of the heat-affected zone and avoiding adverse effects on material performance.
[0070] S3, the coated welding strip is subjected to multi-pass cold drawing to obtain a preformed wire;
[0071] In some embodiments, the deformation amount of each pass of the multi-pass cold drawing is 10%-15%.
[0072] In some embodiments, the diameter φ of the preformed wire is 2.0 mm-4.0 mm.
[0073] Multi-pass cold drawing is an important process for improving the density and improving the performance of the welding wire. In this process, the deformation amount of each pass is controlled at 10%-15%, and the appropriate deformation amount can ensure the plasticity of the material during processing, and gradually refine and densify the structure. Through multi-pass drawing, the size of the coated welding strip gradually decreases, and finally a preformed wire with a preliminary diameter φ of 2.0 mm-4.0 mm is obtained. This diameter range provides a suitable blank for subsequent vacuum sintering and further processing. For example, the deformation amount of each pass of the multi-pass cold drawing can be 10%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 15%, etc.; the diameter φ of the preformed wire can be 2.0 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.9 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4.0 mm, etc.
[0074] S4, vacuum sintering the preformed wire to obtain a sintered wire;
[0075] In some embodiments, the vacuum sintering of the preformed wire to obtain a sintered wire comprises:
[0076] In a vacuum environment, the preformed wire is first heated to a first set temperature and is subjected to first heat preservation;
[0077] The preformed wire with the first set temperature is secondly heated to a second set temperature and is subjected to second heat preservation to form a gradient structure;
[0078] The preformed wire with the second set temperature is cooled to a third set temperature, and then is subjected to rapid cooling to obtain a sintered wire.
[0079] In some embodiments, the first temperature increasing rate is 8-12℃ / min, the first set temperature is 780-820℃, and the first holding time is 0.8-1.2h;
[0080] The second set temperature is 1120-1180℃, and the second holding time is 1.8-2.2h;
[0081] The third set temperature is 150-250℃;
[0082] The vacuum degree of the vacuum environment is ≤10Pa.
[0083] The preform wire is subjected to segmented temperature increasing sintering under a vacuum environment.
[0084] First, the first temperature increasing is at a rate of 8-12℃ / min to 780-820℃, and the first holding time is 0.8-1.2h. The main role of this stage is to promote the removal of impurities such as gas and organic matter in the powder core, purify the internal environment of the material, and create good conditions for the subsequent sintering process; for example, the first temperature increasing rate can be 8℃ / min, 8.5℃ / min, 9℃ / min, 10℃ / min, 10.5℃ / min, 11℃ / min, 11.5℃ / min, 12℃ / min, etc.; the first set temperature can be 780℃, 785℃, 790℃, 800℃, 805℃, 810℃, 815℃, 820℃, etc.; and the first holding time can be 0.8h, 0.85h, 0.9h, 1.0h, 1.05h, 1.1h, 1.15h, 1.2h, etc.
[0085] Then, the preform wire with the first set temperature is secondly increased to 1120-1180℃, and the second holding time is 1.8-2.2h. In this temperature range and holding time, Co, Cr, Mo and other elements can be fully diffused to form a Co-Cr-Mo solid solution, and a gradient structure can be formed to improve the interface bonding strength, improve the uniformity of the welding wire cladding, and reduce the welding spatter; for example, the second set temperature can be 1120℃, 1130℃, 1140℃, 1150℃, 1160℃, 1170℃, 1175℃, 1180℃, etc.; and the second holding time can be 1.8h, 1.85h, 1.9h, 2.0h, 2.05h, 2.1h, 2.15h, 2.2h, etc.
[0086] Finally, the preformed wire with the second set temperature is cooled to 150-250℃, and then fast cooling is performed to obtain the sintered wire. In the mode of cooling to a certain temperature in the furnace and then air cooling, the embrittlement phenomenon of the outer cobalt layer due to too fast cooling speed can be avoided, and the comprehensive performance of the material is ensured. For example, the third set temperature can be 180℃, 185℃, 190℃, 200℃, 205℃, 210℃, 215℃, 220℃, etc.
[0087] The entire vacuum sintering process is carried out in an environment with a vacuum degree of ≤10 Pa, and a low vacuum degree can effectively avoid oxidation, minimize the total oxygen content, and reduce defects such as thermal stress cracking.
[0088] S5, straightening and fine grinding the sintered wire to obtain the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire.
[0089] In some embodiments, the surface roughness Ra of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire is ≤0.8 μm.
[0090] The wire after vacuum sintering may have some bending and surface unevenness. Through the multi-roller straightening machine, the residual stress generated during drawing and sintering is eliminated, so that the wire meets the straightness requirement. Then, the straightened wire is fine ground by a centerless grinding machine to the target diameter, with an accuracy control of ±0.02 mm, and the surface roughness Ra is ≤0.8 μm. High-precision diameter control and good surface quality are of great significance to the stability of wire feeding and welding quality during welding, and can ensure the uniformity and consistency of the welding process.
[0091] The preparation method of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire produces the above-mentioned Co-Cr-Mo welding wire. The chemical composition and structure of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire produced by the preparation method of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the preparation method of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire adopts part or all of the technical solutions of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0092] Through material composition design, structure parameter optimization and preparation process innovation, the application realizes the synergistic improvement of the strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of the Co-Cr-Mo welding wire, and the specific path is as follows:
[0093] (1) Component design synergy: The components of the metal powder core and the cobalt-based welding strip are matched. The mass ratio of Cr to Mo in the metal powder core is controlled to be 3:1-5:1, and the content of Cr+Mo is greater than or equal to 20%. Cr forms a dense oxide film to improve corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. Mo enhances high-temperature strength and pitting resistance. The two synergistically strengthen corrosion resistance and strength. At the same time, the content of Co in the cobalt-based welding strip is greater than or equal to 90%, which ensures excellent ductility and matrix stability. The content of Fe is less than or equal to 5% to adjust the strength and toughness. Trace elements (such as Al to improve high-temperature oxidation resistance, W to improve wear resistance, and rare earth to refine grains) further optimize the comprehensive performance. In addition, the sum of the Si contents in the metal powder core and the welding strip is greater than or equal to 3%. This improves the fluidity of the molten pool to reduce welding defects, and reduces the adverse effects of impurities on performance through deoxidation, thereby indirectly improving strength and corrosion resistance.
[0094] (2) Precise control of structural parameters: Optimization of gradient structure and powder core ratio. The volume ratio of the metal powder core is greater than or equal to 30%, which ensures that the strengthening elements such as Cr and Mo fully play their roles. At the same time, the powder core particle size D50 is controlled to be 20-50 μm to ensure component uniformity and avoid local performance fluctuations. At the same time, the gradient structure formed after vacuum sintering is "interface layer hardness HV450-500, core HV300-350". The high hardness of the interface layer improves the bonding strength and wear resistance, and the lower hardness of the core ensures the toughness, thereby achieving a balance between strength and toughness. In addition, the matching of the welding wire diameter of 1.5-3.0 mm and the welding strip thickness of 0.1-0.4 mm ensures the structural stability, reduces stress concentration through reasonable coating ratio, and improves processing toughness. The surface roughness Ra is less than or equal to 0.8 μm after precision grinding, which reduces surface defects, reduces the risk of corrosion medium invasion, and enhances corrosion resistance.
[0095] (3) Synergistic strengthening of preparation process: Powder core preparation and coating forming. Planetary ball milling (300 rpm, 4 h) is used to obtain uniform powder (D50=20-50 μm) to ensure component consistency. High-frequency induction welding is used to form a longitudinal seam under argon protection to avoid oxidation and pollution, ensure the close combination of the welding strip and the powder core, and reduce the weakening of interface defects on strength and corrosion resistance. At the same time, the process of cold drawing and vacuum sintering is used. Multi-pass cold drawing (deformation of 10%-15% per pass) improves the density and strength through work hardening, while the deformation amount is controlled to avoid excessive embrittlement and retain toughness. In addition, the material is purified by removing impurities at 800°C in a vacuum sintering furnace (≤10 Pa), and the Co-Cr-Mo solid solution is promoted to form at 1150°C, thereby enhancing the interface bonding and component uniformity. After cooling to 200°C in the furnace, the material is air-cooled to avoid cobalt embrittlement and ensure toughness. Post-processing performance optimization, multi-roll straightening to eliminate residual stress, reduces the risk of stress corrosion; precision grinding controls the diameter accuracy (±0.02 mm) and surface roughness, reduces stress concentration and corrosion initiation points, and further improves corrosion resistance and fatigue strength.
[0096] (4) Synergistic realization of performance indicators: Through the above design, the welding wire finally realizes: tensile strength 800-850 MPa (high strength), elongation 30%-40% (high toughness), salt spray test 300h without rust (high corrosion resistance), and welding spatter rate ≤3%, verifying the synergistic promotion effect of strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.
[0097] Therefore, the application significantly improves the processing performance and composition uniformity of the welding wire by coating the Cr-Mo metal powder core with a cobalt-based strip and combining a vacuum sintering process. Through material design and process optimization, the method realizes the synergistic promotion of the strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of the welding wire.
