Description

N08120 heat-resistant alloy plate and heat treatment method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of heat treatment process of heat-resistant alloy plate, and particularly relates to an N08120 heat-resistant alloy plate and a heat treatment method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's photovoltaic industry, the market demand for polycrystalline silicon is increasing year by year, thereby driving the rapid growth of demand for N08120 wide plate of iron-nickel-based alloy for cold hydrogenation reactor, a core production device of polycrystalline silicon. N08120 is an upgraded version of N08810, and the two have similar oxidation resistance, but N08120 has higher high-temperature strength, excellent high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, and a service temperature of more than 593 DEG C. Through high-temperature heat treatment, relatively coarse grains can be obtained, and the material also has high creep strength due to the high content of C, N and Nb. N08120 plate is widely used in various fields, such as heat treatment furnace parts, petrochemical furnace cracking pipes, electric heating element sheaths, cold hydrogenation reactors, etc. The alloy was basically dependent on imports before, and with the rapid advancement of domestication, the market share of imported products has also decreased significantly.

[0003] Because of the short time of domestication, experience needs to be accumulated in smelting, processing, heat treatment and other links of N08120. Considering the use in high-temperature environment, the grain size of N08120 plate is required to be not more than 5 levels. The processes of different manufacturers are quite different, some are short-time holding at high temperature such as 1260 DEG C, and some are long-time holding at lower temperature such as 1800 DEG C. However, a common problem of various processes is that mixed grains are easy to appear. In actual production, it is found that the grains of N08120 after solid solution treatment are prone to mixed grain phenomenon, and there are a small amount of fine or abnormally coarse grains in the local, which brings certain safety hazards to the use of the material. In order to obtain uniform organization and performance, in addition to reducing segregation in smelting link and uniform deformation in rolling link, formulating a reasonable heat treatment system is also a key link.
