[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a high-temperature alloy capillary that simultaneously ensures purity, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-temperature alloy capillary, its preparation method, and its application. This invention optimizes the material composition of ultra-fine, regular high-temperature alloy capillary, ensuring that the purity, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties of the high-temperature alloy capillary of this size meet the stringent requirements for capillary tubes in ultrapure fluid transmission in aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor devices.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a high-temperature alloy capillary, the chemical composition of which, by mass percentage, comprises: Cr: 20.00~23.00%, Mo: 8.00~10.00%, Nb+Ta: 3.15~4.15%, Fe≤5.00%, C≤0.025%, Mn≤0.10%, Si≤0.10%, S≤0.0035%, P≤0.0035%, Co≤0.10%, Al≤0.40%, Ti≤0.30%, O≤20ppm, N≤30ppm and H≤5ppm, with the remainder being Ni and unavoidable impurities;
[0008] The outer diameter of the high-temperature alloy capillary is 0.5~2mm;
[0009] The wall thickness of the high-temperature alloy capillary is 0.05~0.1mm.
[0010] High-temperature alloy capillaries with an outer diameter of 0.5~2mm and a wall thickness of 0.05~0.1mm are products with extremely high manufacturing technical difficulty. This is because maintaining an outer diameter of 0.5~2mm along the entire length of the high-temperature alloy capillary is very difficult, requiring extremely precise molds and a stable manufacturing process. Furthermore, the minimum wall thickness of existing high-temperature alloy capillaries is 1.5mm, while the high-temperature alloy capillaries of this invention have a wall thickness of 0.05~0.1mm. This means that any tiny deviation will lead to eccentricity or uneven wall thickness. Simultaneously, any tiny surface scratches, pits, or inclusions may also cause… As stress concentration points, these capillaries can directly lead to leakage or breakage during subsequent processing or use. This invention optimizes the material composition of high-temperature alloy capillaries of this size by limiting the content of Mn, Si, S, P, Co, O, N, and H elements in capillaries with an outer diameter of 0.5~2mm and a wall thickness of 0.05~0.1mm, and further limiting the content of Nb+Ta. This ensures that the purity, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties of high-temperature alloy capillaries of this size meet the stringent requirements for capillaries in ultrapure fluid transmission in aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor devices.

[0036] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a high-temperature alloy capillary according to the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:
[0037] (1) The raw materials are mixed according to the proportion of each element, and vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting and forging are carried out in sequence to obtain a billet;
[0038] (2) Inclusion detection and ultrasonic testing are performed on the billet;
[0039] (3) The billet from step (2) is subjected to hot extrusion to obtain a rough tube;
[0040] (4) The rough tube is subjected to a first cold rolling process and a first annealing process in sequence to obtain annealed tube material;
[0041] (5) The annealed pipe is subjected to a second cold rolling process and a second annealing process in sequence to obtain a preliminary finished pipe;
[0042] (6) The preliminary finished pipe is subjected to finishing and heat treatment in sequence to obtain a high-temperature alloy capillary tube with an outer diameter of 0.5~2mm and a wall thickness of 0.05~0.1mm.
[0043] This invention involves mixing novel elemental materials to ensure the purity and accurate proportions of each element. The mixture is then subjected to vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting, and forging to obtain a billet. Vacuum induction melting is performed in a vacuum environment to prevent oxidation of the added raw materials, ensuring the alloy composition meets target requirements. Simultaneously, vacuum induction melting removes most gases and impurities. The alloy ingot obtained from vacuum induction melting is then used as a consumable electrode for electroslag remelting in the presence of slag. Here, the slag adsorbs inclusions in the raw materials, further improving the purity of the final high-temperature alloy capillary. This process also yields a uniform and refined solidification structure, enhancing the chemical composition uniformity of the final high-temperature alloy capillary. Subsequently, forging is performed, where the alloy ingot is forged at high temperature to break up the as-cast structure, compact internal defects, improve the density and uniformity of the alloy ingot, and initially shape the ingot into a round billet. The billet is then subjected to inclusion detection and ultrasonic testing to ensure the final high-temperature alloy capillary is of high quality. To ensure the uniformity and reliability of the performance of high-temperature alloy capillary tubes, the billet is hot-extruded to ensure uniform wall thickness and surface quality. It then undergoes a first cold rolling and first annealing process, followed by a second cold rolling and second annealing. Cold rolling induces plastic deformation in the billet, precisely controlling the wall thickness and diameter-to-thickness ratio, and improving the tube's strength and hardness. Annealing after cold rolling eliminates internal stress, restores the tube's plasticity and toughness, and further enhances the consistency of the microstructure of the preliminary finished tube. Finally, the preliminary finished tube undergoes finishing and heat treatment to achieve optimal corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Through the synergistic effect of the above processes, this invention prepares high-temperature alloy capillary tubes with an outer diameter of 0.5~2mm and a wall thickness of 0.05~0.1mm, achieving the preparation of ultra-fine, regular high-temperature alloy capillary tubes. The purity, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties of the prepared high-temperature alloy capillary tubes meet the stringent requirements for capillary tubes in ultrapure fluid transmission for aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor equipment.

For example, it can be 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, or 40%, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within the above range are also applicable.
[0070] In this invention, the thickness deformation rate of the first cold rolling process is 10-40% greater than that of the second cold rolling process.

[0074] In this invention, annealed tubes with high-precision dimensions, excellent surface quality, and superior mechanical properties are prepared through a combination of a first cold rolling process and a first annealing process. The advantage of this combined process is not simply the superposition of two processes, but rather that by sequentially performing the first cold rolling process and the first annealing process, effects that cannot be achieved by a single process are realized. The cold rolling process can precisely control the uniformity of the tube wall thickness, the tolerance of the outer diameter, and the roundness.

[0180] (3) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 6-7, the thickness deformation rates of the second cold rolling treatment in Example 1 are 20%, 20%, 25%, 15%, 10% and 10% respectively, which produces high-temperature alloy capillaries with a grain size of grade 8, and the yield strength of the high-temperature alloy capillaries is 540 MPa, the tensile strength is 940 MPa and the elongation is 50%; while the thickness deformation rates of the second cold rolling treatment in Example 6 are all 5%, which produces high-temperature alloy capillaries with a grain size of grade 6, and the yield strength of the high-temperature alloy capillaries is 485 MPa and the tensile strength is 890 MPa. a. The elongation is 47%. In Example 7, the thickness deformation rate of the second cold rolling process is 50%. The resulting high-temperature alloy capillary has a grain size of 6.5 and a yield strength of 495 MPa, a tensile strength of 895 MPa, and an elongation of 47.5%. It can be seen that the present invention improves the grain size, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the final high-temperature alloy capillary by limiting the thickness deformation rate of the second cold rolling process, so that it can meet the stringent requirements for capillary in the ultrapure fluid transmission of aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor equipment.
[0181] (4) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 8-9, in Example 1, the number of cycles for the second cold rolling and second annealing in step (5) is 5, and a high-temperature alloy capillary with a grain size of grade 8 is prepared. The yield strength of the high-temperature alloy capillary is 540 MPa, the tensile strength is 940 MPa, and the elongation is 50%. In Example 8, the number of cycles for the second cold rolling and second annealing in step (5) is 0, and a high-temperature alloy capillary with a grain size of grade 5 is prepared. The yield strength of the high-temperature alloy capillary is 470 MPa, the tensile strength is 880 MPa, and the elongation is 46%. In Example 9, the number of cycles for the second cold rolling and second annealing in step (5) is 0. The second annealing process involves 10 cycles, resulting in a high-temperature alloy capillary with a grain size of 8.5. The capillary exhibits a yield strength of 545 MPa, a tensile strength of 945 MPa, and an elongation of 50.5%. This demonstrates that by limiting the number of cycles in the second cold rolling and annealing processes, the present invention improves the grain size, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance of the final high-temperature alloy capillary. This allows it to meet the stringent requirements for capillary tubes in ultrapure fluid transport applications in aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor devices. Conversely, excessive cycles, while leading to a slight performance improvement, have limited impact and increase production costs.
[0182] (5) As can be seen from Examples 1 and 10, electroslag remelting treatment under an inert atmosphere can effectively reduce the content of O, N and H elements in the high-temperature alloy capillary, improve its purity and comprehensive performance. When it is not carried out under an inert atmosphere, the gas content increases and the corrosion resistance decreases.
[0183] (6) As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, inclusion detection and ultrasonic testing of the billet can effectively remove the defective billet and improve the performance of the final product. Without this step, the various properties of the high-temperature alloy capillary tube are significantly reduced.
[0184] (7) As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, compared with skew rolling piercing treatment, hot extrusion treatment can obtain high-temperature alloy capillary tubes with better wall thickness uniformity, surface quality and mechanical properties.
[0185] (8) As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-6, the combination process of the first cold rolling treatment and the first annealing treatment, and the combination process of the second cold rolling treatment and the second annealing treatment are crucial to improving the performance of high-temperature alloy capillary tubes. When only a single cold rolling or annealing treatment is performed, the product performance will be significantly reduced.
[0186] (9) As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 7, the order of finishing and heat treatment has a certain impact on the performance of high-temperature alloy capillary tubes. Finishing before heat treatment can achieve better dimensional accuracy and surface quality.
[0187] In summary, this invention optimizes the material composition of the tube and, through the synergistic effect of vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting, forging, hot extrusion, first cold rolling, first annealing, second cold rolling, second annealing, finishing, and heat treatment processes, ensures that the purity, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties of the prepared high-temperature alloy capillary meet the stringent requirements for capillary tubes in ultrapure fluid transmission for aerospace engine fuel control systems or semiconductor equipment.
