Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of preparation technology of deformed high-temperature alloy parts for aerospace, and specifically relates to a method for preparing GH4169 alloy disc-shaped parts. Background Technology

[0002] GH4169 (also known as Inconel 718) is a nickel-based superalloy. Due to its excellent high-temperature strength, fatigue resistance, oxidation resistance and good processing performance, it is widely used in key hot-end components such as aero engines and gas turbines, especially disc components such as turbine disks and compressor disks. Aero engine turbine disks withstand high temperatures, high pressures and high-speed rotational loads of 650-700℃ and are the core components for engine power transmission. Gas turbine rotor disks have been in service for a long time in high-temperature gas environments and need to resist creep and thermal fatigue. Spacecraft propulsion systems (such as rocket engine turbopump disks) also require extremely high reliability.

[0003] Failure of disc-shaped components can lead to catastrophic engine accidents (such as non-containment fracture), therefore their performance directly determines the safety and lifespan of aircraft. Improving the thrust-to-weight ratio of high-performance engines relies on the temperature resistance and microstructural stability of materials; GH4169 is currently the most widely used 650℃-grade disc material. Because disc-shaped components are subjected to complex multiaxial stresses and gradient temperature fields during service, any local microstructural inhomogeneity can become a crack initiation point. Therefore, extremely high requirements are placed on their performance uniformity, requiring an overall grain size ≥ 8 (ASTM standard). However, traditional processes easily lead to grain differences between the core and edges of the disc (such as coarse grains at the blade tip and mixed grains in the core), inducing fatigue cracks. The main strengthening phases γ′′ (Ni3Nb) and γ′ (Ni3(Al,Ti)) need to be uniformly dispersed; local aggregation will reduce the alloy's fatigue life.

[0004] Existing GH4169 alloy disc-shaped parts manufacturing technologies typically employ duplex melting (VIM+VAR) or inverted triple melting (VIM+VAR+ESR) to prepare ingots. While duplex melting can reduce gas content, it is still difficult to completely eliminate Nb segregation (black spots) and oxide inclusions (white spots), resulting in insufficient material purity and affecting fatigue performance. Although inverted triple melting can improve segregation, the ESR process introduces new inclusions. When preparing disc blanks using unidirectional drawing and ordinary forging processes from ingots, the unidirectional drawing method easily leads to grain elongation along the deformation direction, forming a banded structure. This results in significant differences in grain size between the center and the edge of the disc, affecting overall mechanical properties. Uneven deformation temperature in ordinary die forging easily causes abnormal local grain growth or insufficient recrystallization of mixed-grain structures with poor grain size (≥4 grade), which reduces the high-cycle fatigue life of disc-shaped parts and causes large performance fluctuations (strength standard deviation ±50MPa, high fatigue life dispersion).

[0005] Therefore, a new approach is needed to prepare GH4169 alloy disk-like components in order to improve their performance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a process route of "triple melting (VIM+ESR+VAR) + two-step diffusion annealing + multi-directional forging + isothermal forging," which significantly improves the microstructure uniformity and mechanical properties of GH4169 alloy disc-shaped parts.

[0007] This application is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for preparing a GH4169 alloy disc-shaped part includes the following steps: S1. Tri-melting: GH4169 alloy ingots are prepared by vacuum induction melting, electroslag remelting and vacuum arc remelting. S2. Perform a two-step diffusion annealing treatment on the GH4169 alloy ingot to obtain an annealed ingot. S3. Multi-directional forging billet preparation: The annealed ingot is forged into a square billet, and then forged 4-8 times along the x, y, and z axes. The last forging is a single-phase elongation forging into a round bar billet. The forging temperature is 1050-1080℃, the final forging temperature is higher than 930℃, and the deformation per forging is ≥40%. S4. Press the round bar billet into a disc; S5. The blank is subjected to isothermal die forging to prepare a disc blank: the forging temperature of isothermal die forging is 960-990℃, the deformation is 50-80%, and the strain rate is ≤0.01s. -1 ; S6. Perform solution aging treatment on the billet; S7. Machining the blank into disc-shaped parts.

[0008] Furthermore, the GH4169 alloy ingot, by mass percentage, has the following chemical composition: C 0.02-0.06%, Cr 17-21%, Ni 50-55%, Co≤1%, Mo 2.8-3.3%, Al 0.2-0.8%, Ti 0.65-1.15%, Nb 5.0-5.5%, B≤0.006%, Mg≤0.005%, P≤0.0015%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the GH4169 alloy ingot is 300-508 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the triple smelting process includes sequential vacuum induction melting (VIM), electroslag remelting (ESR), and vacuum arc remelting (VAR) to prepare high-purity GH4169 alloy ingots, ensuring the absence of black spots (Nb segregation) and white spots (oxide inclusions). VIM is used to pre-alloy the ingot raw materials, precisely controlling the chemical composition of the GH4169 alloy ingot. The VIM refining temperature is preferably 150-300°C above the alloy liquidus line, and the refining time is controlled at 30-90 minutes to promote inclusion flotation and gas removal. Then, a high-basicity, CaO-Al2O3-based refining slag is used to adsorb and desulfurize, removing some oxide inclusions. Simultaneously, a ceramic filter (yttrium oxide or Al2O3 foam ceramic) is used to intercept large-sized inclusions.

[0011] The purity of the metal is improved by deep removal of non-metallic inclusions such as sulfur and oxygen from the molten metal using ESR (Expanded Sedimentation Removal). A high-basicity, low-oxidizing slag system is selected during the ESR process, and a low melting rate (1.5-3 kg / min) is used to prolong the slag-metal reaction time, which is beneficial for inclusion absorption and composition homogenization. Vapor-reflective annealing (VAR) is then used to further eliminate porosity and microsegregation. A "slow initiation + stable melting" strategy is adopted during the VAR process: low current is used during the initiation stage to avoid splashing, a constant melting rate (3-6 mm / min) is maintained during the main melting period, and the melting rate is reduced at the end for feeding. The GH4169 alloy ingots produced by this three-stage smelting process have an oxygen content ≤10 ppm and a sulfur content ≤5 ppm.

[0012] Furthermore, the GH4169 alloy ingot undergoes a two-step diffusion annealing process, comprising: a first-step diffusion annealing process at 1120-1170℃ for 10-20 hours, and a second-step diffusion annealing process at 1180-1200℃ for 24-50 hours, to obtain an annealed ingot; the two-step segmented annealing homogenization process promotes the diffusion of metallic elements such as Nb and Ti, eliminates dendrites and element segregation in the ingot, makes the ingot structure uniform, and avoids grain boundary embrittlement.

[0013] Furthermore, in the multi-directional forging billet, the equiaxed crystal ratio of the round bar billet is ≥90%, and the grain size is greater than ASTM grade 6. Multi-directional forging billet can break up coarse as-cast structures, improve equiaxed crystals, and refine grain size. Preferably, the equiaxed crystal ratio can be ≥92%, and the grain size can be refined to ASTM grade 8 or higher.

[0014] Furthermore, the diameter of the round bar blank is 150-250mm.

[0015] Furthermore, the temperature at which the round bar billet is pressed into a disc is 960-990℃, and the deformation is ≥50%.

[0016] Furthermore, the grain size of the blank is ASTM 9-12 grade, with a grade difference of ≤2 grades.

[0017] Preferably, the isothermal forging die is preheated to the same temperature as the blank to avoid insufficient filling of the prepared blank due to temperature drop.

[0018] Furthermore, the solution aging treatment of the billet includes: a solution stage, heating to 960-1000℃ and holding at that temperature for 1-4 hours followed by air cooling; a first aging stage, heating to 700-750℃ and holding at that temperature for 5-10 hours followed by furnace cooling; and a second aging stage, heating to 600-650℃ and holding at that temperature for 5-10 hours followed by air cooling. Through solution and double aging treatments, the uniform distribution of the strengthening phase is optimized, thereby improving the tensile strength and yield strength of the alloy.

[0019] Furthermore, the blank is machined to obtain a disc-shaped part, including: precision machining using CNC machine tools, with a disc dimensional tolerance ≤ ±0.05mm and a surface roughness Ra ≤ 1.6μm.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages: The GH4169 alloy disc-shaped parts prepared in this application have a room temperature tensile strength greater than 1400 MPa, a yield strength greater than 1100 MPa, and an elongation after fracture greater than 15%. At 650℃, the high-temperature strength is: tensile strength greater than 1200 MPa, yield strength greater than 1040 MPa, and elongation after fracture greater than 15%. The stress at 500℃ / 1100 MPa (stress ratio R=0.05, frequency 0.33 Hz, maximum stress σ) is also specified. max The fatigue life under conditions of 1100 MPa is greater than 105 cycles. This application significantly improves the microstructure uniformity and mechanical properties of GH4169 alloy disc-shaped parts by optimizing the smelting, forging, and heat treatment processes. It achieves the preparation of disc-shaped parts with high purity (no black / white spots), high uniformity (uniform grain / strengthening phase distribution), and high performance (high room temperature tensile strength, high fatigue life), and improves the yield. It is suitable for the preparation of integral bladed disks and turbine disks for compressors that can withstand 650-700℃. After being applied to a turbine disk of a certain type of aero-engine, the ultrasonic noise level was reduced by 40%, the standard deviation of room temperature tensile strength was reduced from ±50 MPa to ±20 MPa, and the standard deviation of overall performance was reduced by 60%, which significantly improved the reliability and life of key components of aero-engines.
