Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of high-temperature alloys, and in particular to a high-temperature alloy connecting method and a high-temperature alloy joint. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-temperature alloys have excellent high-temperature performance and are commonly used to manufacture hot-end components of an aero-engine. Some hot-end components have a complex internal cavity structure, and the connecting problem is bound to be designed in the manufacturing process thereof. Since the hot-end components of the aero-engine are often served in a high-temperature and high-stress environment, the high-reliability connection of the high-temperature alloy is crucial to the long-time service safety of the aero-engine. The connection of the high-temperature alloy component is usually achieved by using a welding method, such as transient liquid phase diffusion welding (TLP diffusion welding), which has high precision and is widely used for the connection of the high-temperature alloy component with a complex internal cavity structure. The welding material of the high-temperature alloy is mostly made of B and Si elements as a melting element, and continuous intermetallic compounds and interface diffusion affected zones are easily generated in the center of the weld. Therefore, the joint has poor endurance and fatigue performance, and it is difficult to meet the actual demand. SUMMARY

[0003] The application provides a high-temperature alloy connecting method and a high-temperature alloy joint to solve the problems in the background.

[0004] In a first aspect, the application provides a high-temperature alloy connecting method, comprising: After tenon jointing the male base material and the female base material to be connected, the male base material and the female base material are fixed by using a specific welding tool. The male base material, the female base material and the welding tool are placed in a high-temperature vacuum furnace for welding.

[0005] Further, before the tenon jointing the male base material and the female base material to be connected and the fixing by using the specific welding tool, the method further comprises: The welding material is placed on the contact surface of the male base material and the female base material to be connected respectively.

[0006] Further, before the male base material, the female base material and the welding tool are placed in the high-temperature vacuum furnace for welding, the method further comprises: The solder resist is coated on the contact surface of the male base material, the female base material and the welding tool respectively.

[0007] Further, the welding material comprises silver-based solder and nickel-based solder.

[0008] Further, the welding material is an amorphous alloy foil with a thickness of 10-50 microns or an alloy powder with a particle size range of 10-100 microns.

[0009] Further, the welding parameter range is a heating rate of 10-15℃ / min, a brazing temperature of 1000-1200℃, and a holding time of 10-240min followed by furnace cooling.

[0010] Further, during the welding process, the vacuum degree in the furnace is higher than 1x10 -2 Pa.

[0011] In a second aspect, the application provides a high-temperature alloy joint obtained by the high-temperature alloy connecting method as described above.

[0012] The above technical solution of the application has the following advantages: The high-temperature alloy connecting method provided in the first aspect of the application combines dowel connection and welding, and in the service process of the component, the base material and the weld together bear the external force, the force acting on the joint can be conducted through the base material, which can improve the endurance and fatigue performance of the joint. Compared with a flat welded joint, in the service process of the dowel and welding composite joint, when a certain welding position fails, the mechanical interlocking structure of the concave-convex nesting can still maintain a certain strength, avoiding rapid fracture failure. Compared with a simple dowel structure, the interlocking position of the dowel and welding composite joint realizes metallurgical bonding, which not only can greatly improve the performance, but also can avoid the wear between the base materials.

[0013] It can be understood that the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned second aspect can be referred to the related description in the first aspect, which will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0025] In order to realize high-reliability manufacturing of high-temperature alloy components, a new connecting method needs to be developed from the perspective of structural design of a connecting position. As a traditional connecting method, tenon connection forms a mechanical interlocking structure through concave-convex nesting of base materials (base materials), which can still maintain good structural integrity under the action of a larger external force. The tenon connection is combined with the welding method, and under the action of an external force, the force acting on the joint can be conducted through the base material, that is, the base material and the weld together bear the action of the external force, which helps to increase the overall rigidity of the joint and improve the endurance and fatigue performance of the joint, thereby further promoting the development of an aero-engine.

[0029] In some embodiments, the welding material is an amorphous alloy foil with a thickness of 10-50 microns or an alloy powder with a particle size range of 10-100 microns.

[0030] In some embodiments, the welding parameter range is a heating rate of 10-15℃ / min, a brazing temperature of 1000-1200℃, and a holding time of 10-240 min for furnace cooling.

[0031] In some embodiments, during the welding process, the vacuum degree in the furnace is higher than 1×10 -2 Pa.

[0032] The high-temperature alloy base material has two types of shapes, including a male base material and a female base material. The welding material is placed on the contact surfaces of the male base material and the female base material before welding. After the male base material and the female base material are fixed by using a specific welding tool, the base material and the tool are placed in a high-temperature vacuum furnace for welding.

[0033] The welding material includes but is not limited to silver-based solder, nickel-based solder. The welding material can be an amorphous alloy foil strip with a thickness of 10-50 μm or an alloy powder with a particle size range of 10-100 μm. The contact surfaces of the convex base material and the concave base material with the welding tooling need to be coated with a solder resist. The welding parameter range can be selected as a heating rate of 10-15 ℃ / min, a brazing temperature of 1000-1200 ℃, and a holding time of 10-240 min followed by furnace cooling. During the welding process, the vacuum degree in the furnace is higher than 1×10 -2 Pa.

[0034] The application also provides a high-temperature alloy joint obtained by the high-temperature alloy connecting method.

[0035] The application will be described below by means of specific embodiments.
