TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of superalloy, in particular to high-strength and high-toughness nickel-based wrought superalloy resistant to 800°C, preparation method thereof and turbine disk.BACKGROUND ART
[0002] The turbine disk is an important hot end component of an aircraft engine, has a harsh working environment, and is mainly made of wrought superalloys. With the development of the aviation industry, the outlet temperature of aircraft engines has gradually increased, so the temperature-bearing capacity of nickel-based wrought superalloys used for turbine disks has also increased, which requires the wrought superalloys to have excellent medium-temperature (600-800°C) service performance. The main methods of strengthening and toughening design for the wrought superalloys are: addition of of Al / Ti and Nb to form γ' or γ" phase for precipitation strengthening, W and Mo for solid solution strengthening, and micro-alloying elements such as B, Zr and C for grain boundary strengthening.
[0003] Generally, there are two main process routes for highly alloyed superalloys: the powder metallurgy route reduces the severity of segregation, but it is difficult to solve defects such as prior particle boundary, inclusions and heat-induced holes, which seriously affects the mechanical properties of powder metallurgy superalloys such as low-cycle fatigue; the forging process route is the current mainstream process, which is mature and suitable for industrial application.
[0004] At present, the main typical grades of the nickel-based wrought superalloys are GH4169 alloy resistant to 650°C, GH169D alloy resistant to 700°C, GH4720Li alloy resistant to 750°C and GH4065A alloy. These alloys have gradually increased alloying degree, and a high alloying degree will significantly reduce the plasticity of the alloy during hot deformation process and in service (medium temperature) environments; the higher the alloying degree, the more serious the segregation of elements in the high-temperature alloy ingots and the more complex the solidification segregation phase. For large-sized alloy ingots, the segregation of elements is serious and the inheritance of the segregated organization is difficult to eliminate, so the ingot specifications are limited to small ingots. But the problems such as narrow hot working window, large deformation resistance, sensitivity to cracking make the microstructure control of the cogging process extremely difficult, the yield rate extremely low, and the microstructure uneven, which has become a key problem restricting the preparation and application of high-quality bars of the highly alloyed superalloys.
[0005] In view of the above analysis, the present application is proposed.SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT APPLICATION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT APPLICATION
[0031] The technical scheme of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the following described embodiments are part of embodiments of the present application rather than all embodiments, and are only used to illustrate the present application but should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application. Carrying out the specific conditions without being specified in the embodiments according to normal conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used without the manufacturer being specified are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0032] On the one hand, the present application provides a high-strength and high-toughness nickel-based wrought superalloy resistant to 800°C, which comprises the following components by mass percentage: Cr 10% ~ 12%, Co 14% ~ 16%, W 2.5% ~ 3.5%, Mo 3.75% ~ 5%, Al 3.5% ~ 4.5%, Ti 2.5% ~ 3.1%, Nb 3% ~ 3.8%, C 0.01% ~ 0.08%, B 0.005% ~ 0.05%, V 0.01% ~ 1%, Zr 0.025% ~ 0.075%, Si 0.005% ~ 0.3%, Re 0.02% ~ 0.05%, Sc 0.001% ~ 0.08%, La 0.001% ~ 0.08%, Ce 0.001% ~ 0.05%, Nd 0.001% ~ 0.05%, Mg 0.001% ~ 0.15%, and the rest is Ni and unavoidable impurities.
[0033] The present application improves the hot working performance and mechanical properties of the alloy by performing rational and coordinated design of the components of the nickel-based high-temperature alloy. The alloy of the present application belongs to a high-alloyed hard-to-deform nickel-based high-temperature alloy with the γ' phase content in the alloy about 10% higher than that in the 750°C-resistant alloy, at the same time, the content of solid solution strengthening elements in the alloy is also limited to a high level, which make the alloy have excellent high-temperature strength at 800°C. The addition of rare earth elements such as Sc and grain boundary strengthening elements such as Zr into the alloy improves the grain boundary bonding strength, makes the equal strength transformation temperature between the grain boundary and the interior of the grain transfer to a higher temperature to make the alloy obtain better toughness, and avoids medium-temperature brittleness at around 800°C. In conjunction with the process control during the hot working process, weakening the strengthening effect of the γ' phase and regulating the alloy to have a fine-grained structure, which can make the alloy be prepared by hot working in engineering.
[0034] A large amount of solid solution strengthening elements, precipitation strengthening elements, grain boundary strengthening elements and rare earth elements are added into the alloy of the present application and have the specific composition characteristics as follows.
[0035] Adding the precipitation strengthening elements of Al, Ti and Nb into the alloy to make the γ' phase content of 50wt%~58wt%, which is significantly higher than other high-heat strength nickel-based wrought superalloys. A large amount of precipitation strengthening phases ensure that the alloy has sufficient strength. The Nb element enters the γ' phase to form Ni 3 (Al, Ti, Nb), which can increase the volume fraction and the reverse domain boundary energy of the γ' phase in the alloy, thereby improving the strength of the alloy. In order to take into account the strength and processability of the alloy, the present application further preferably regulates the sum of the mass percentages of Al, Ti and Nb to satisfies Al+Ti+Nb ≥ 9.5%, and the mass ratio Al / Ti of Al and Ti is 1.15~1.45.
[0036] For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of Al in the present application can be 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5% or a range consisting of any two of them; the mass percentage of Ti can be 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1% or a range consisting of any two of them; the mass percentage of Nb can be 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%. Furthermore, the sum of the mass percentages of Al, Ti and Nb is 9.5%~10.5%, such as 9.5%, 9.6%, 9.7%, 9.8%, 9.9%, 10%, 10.1%, 10.2%, 10.3%, 10.4%, 10.5% or a range consisting of any two thereof; the mass ratio Al / Ti of Al and Ti can be 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.45 or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0037] Adding solid solution strengthening elements W and Mo into the alloy to cause significant lattice distortion and reduce stacking fault energy, thereby improving the yield strength and creep properties of the alloy. However, when excessive or improperly proportioned W and Mo are added, a harmful brittle phase TCP phase will be generated during the long-term use of the alloy, which makes cracks initiate and expand at the interface between the TCP phase and the matrix under the action of thermal-mechanical coupling, thereby resulting in deterioration of the alloy performance. Therefore, the present application further regulates the sum of the mass percentages of Mo and W to satisfy: W+Mo≥7.5%, and the mass ratio Mo / W of M to W is 1.3~1.45, so that the alloy has a sufficient solid solution strengthening effect.
[0038] For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of W in the present application can be 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5% or a range of any two thereof; the mass percentage of Mo can be 3.75%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, 5%. Furthermore, the sum of the mass percentages of Mo and W is 7.5%~8.2%, such as 7.5%, 7.6%, 7.7%, 7.8%, 7.9%, 8%, 8.1%, 8.2% or a range consisting of any two thereof; the mass ratio Mo / W of Mo to W can be 1.3, 1.32, 1.35, 1.38, 1.4, 1.42, 1.45 or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0039] The C element added into the alloy of the present application segregates to the grain boundary or forms grain boundary carbides, and precipitates in the form of blocks or particles at the grain boundary, which can inhibit the growth of abnormal grain, prevent grain boundary sliding, strengthen the grain boundary, improve the lasting strength and plasticity. However, the excessive addition of C element causes the carbides to precipitate continuously along the grain boundary in the form of a thin film, which makes the grain boundary embrittled and the alloy exhibits notch sensitivity. Therefore, the C content in the present application is controlled in the range of 0.01%~0.08%. For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of C can be 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08% or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0040] The elements of Zr and B added into the alloy of the present application segregate to the grain boundaries, which improves the grain boundary bonding force, reduces the interface energy, improves the grain boundary morphology, improves the creep endurance strength and the low-cycle fatigue performance. At the same time, the Zr element can also be used as a purifier and react with elements such as C and S in the alloy to generate carbon sulfides or carbides, thereby removing harmful impurity elements such as S and P. while adding excessive B elements will cause the precipitation of boride at the grain boundaries or induce the generation of hot cracks, therefore, in the present application, the Zr content is controlled at 0.025%~0.075%, and the B content is controlled at 0.005%~0.05%. For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of Zr can be 0.025%, 0.035%, 0.045%, 0.055%, 0.065%, 0.075% or a range consisting of any two thereof, and the mass percentage of B can be 0.005%, 0.008%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05% or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0041] The present application further preferably regulates the sum of the mass percentages of C, B and Zr to satisfy: C+B+Zr≤0.15%, so as to improve the grain boundary bonding force, improve the endurance strength and plasticity, reduce or eliminate the brittle tendency in the service temperature range, and avoid grain boundary embrittlement and the generation of thermal cracking, etc. For example, in different embodiments, the sum of the mass percentages of C, B and Zr can be 0.045%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15% or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0042] The rare earth elements of Sc, La, Ce and Nd added into the alloy of the present application can reduce the critical supercooling degree of dendrite nucleation, generate component supercooling at the front of the solid-liquid interface in the solidification process of the alloy, reduce the critical nucleation radius and nucleation work, increase the nucleation rate, thereby refining the dendrite and effectively reducing segregation. At the same time, the rare earth elements can also remove O and purify the grain boundary, reduce or avoid the generation of intergranular cracks of the alloy in the medium temperature range, and at the same time, the rare earth elements can also improve the oxidation resistance of the alloy. But excessive rare earth elements are easily oxidized, and the rare earth-rich phase is not easy to be eliminated in the subsequent homogenization and thermal deformation process. Therefore, the rare earth content in the present application should be strictly controlled, especially, controlling the Sc content at 0.001%~0.08%, controlling the La content at 0.001%~0.08%, controlling the Ce content at 0.001%~0.05%, and controlling the Nd content in the range of 0.001% ~0.05%. For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of Sc can be 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.06%, 0.08% or a range consisting of any two thereof, the mass percentage of La can be 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.06%, 0.08% or a range consisting of any two thereof, the mass percentage of Ce can be 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05% or a range consisting of any two thereof, and the mass percentage of Nd can be 0.001%, 0.005%, 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05% or a range consisting of any two thereof.
[0043] The sum of the mass percentages of Sc, La, Ce and Nd is further adjusted to satisfy Sc+La+Ce+Nd≤0.2%, such as 0.1%~0.2%, to optimize the above-mentioned properties. For example, in different embodiments, the sum of the mass percentages of Sc, La, Ce and Nd can be 0.1%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, 0.16%, 0.17%, 0.18%, 0.19%, 0.2% or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0044] The Cr element in the alloy of the present application is the main element forming carbides and can also improve the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy. Too low Cr content will lead to a decrease in the oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the alloy and will lead to the formation of an α-phase, which is detrimental to the plasticity and toughness of the alloy. Therefore, the present application regulates the Cr content in the alloy to 10%~12%, which makes the alloy system of the present application take into account the improvement of oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance as well as plasticity and toughness by cooperating with the remaining elements. For example, in different embodiments, the mass percentage of Cr in the present application can be 10%, 10.2%, 10.5%, 10.8%, 11%, 11.2%, 11.5%, 11.8%, 12% or a range consisting of any two of them.
[0045] In specific embodiments of the present application, the unavoidable impurities include any one or more of S, P, N, O, Cu, Ag, Si, Mn, Ca, Sn and Pb. Further, in the alloy, by mass percentage, the impurity elements include: S≤0.0015%, P≤0.015%, N ≤0.003%, O≤0.0015%, Cu≤0.10%, Ag≤0.0005%, Si≤0.10%, Mn≤0.4%, Ca≤ 0.005%, Sn≤0.005%, Pb≤0.001%.

[0047] On the other hand, the present application provides a method for preparing any one of the above-mentioned the high-strength and high-toughness nickel-based wrought superalloys resistant to 800°C, and the method comprises the following steps: (a) preparing an alloy ingot by a triple smelting process according to alloy components; (b) subjecting the alloy ingot to multi-stage homogenization annealing at 1100-1220° C to obtain an annealed ingot; (c) subjecting the annealed ingot to upsetting and drawing cogging at 1060-1180°C, and then subjecting to radial forging at 1020-1150°C.
[0048] The material of the present application has a high alloying degree and requires high alloy purity. Through the triple smelting process of vacuum induction melting + electroslag remelting + vacuum induction remelting, combining with the alloy composition of the present application, an ingot with higher purity can be obtained.
[0049] In specific embodiments of the present application, adding the rare earth elements of Sc, La, Ce and Nd in the form of an intermediate alloy in the vacuum induction melting of the triple smelting; wherein the intermediate alloy is an Al-rare earth intermediate alloy or a Ni-rare earth intermediate alloy. For example, they can be added in the form of Al-Sc, Al-La, Al-Ce, Al-Nd, or in the form of Ni-Sc, Ni-La, Ni-Ce, Ni-Nd to improve the yield of the rare earth elements.
[0050] In specific embodiments of the present application, the intermediate alloy is added in the low temperature refining stage (1450-1580° C.) to improve the yield of rare earth elements.
[0051] In specific embodiments of the present application, the triple smelting process comprises: A: according to the alloy composition, smelting in a vacuum induction furnace, controlling the full melting temperature at 1510°C~1580°C, controlling the refining temperature at 1510-1580°C, and casting at 1420-1480°C to obtain the vacuum induction electrode bar; B: subjecting the vacuum induction electrode bar prepared in step A to protective atmosphere electroslag remelting to obtain an electroslag remelting ingot; filling argon gas throughout the step B process for protection, and the flow rate of the argon gas is 100-200 L / min; C: subjecting the electroslag remelting ingot obtained in step B to vacuum self-consuming remelting to obtain a vacuum self-consuming ingot; the vacuum self-consuming melting rate is 2.7-3.8 kg / min.
[0052] In specific embodiments of the present application, the multi-stage homogenization annealing includes: keeping the alloy ingot at 490-510°C for more than 4 h, then heating to 990-1010°C and keeping for more than 8 h, then heating to 1110-1140°C and keeping for more than 15 h, then heating to 1150-1180°C and keeping for more than 25 h, then heating to 1190-1220°C and keeping for more than 30 h, and then furnace cooling.
[0053] Fig.1 is non-equilibrium solidification segregation characteristics such as the segregation phase and element segregation of the alloy system (such as Embodiment 1) of the embodiment of the present application. Based on the characteristics of the alloy, the present application proposes a specific multi-stage homogenization annealing process, referring to the temperature curve of Fig.2, each stage of which corresponds to the elimination of the non-equilibrium segregation and / or element segregation of each temperature section to obtain a homogenized low-segregation alloy ingot. The annealing treatment at 1110-1140°C and 1150-1180°C helps to eliminate the low-melting point phase, and the annealing treatment at 1190-1220°C helps to eliminate the segregation of the ingot composition and improve the hot working performance of the alloy.

Furthermore, in the process of the upsetting and drawing cogging, the forging temperature is reduced one by one in the range of 1060 to 1180°C.
[0058] In actual operation, when adopting the fast-forging machine for upsetting and drawing cogging, heating the annealed ingot to 1060-1180°C, wrapping the ingot with insulation cotton, after the heat preservation is over, taking out of the furnace for forging, repeatedly upsetting and drawing the ingot by the fast-forging machine.
