The invention discloses a manufacturing process of an NO7718
nickel base
alloy nut for nuclear equipment. The manufacturing process comprises the steps of material preparation, hot
forging, shot blasting,
solid solution heat treatment, physical and chemical detection, finish
machining,
precipitation hardening heat treatment and detection packaging. The hot
forging near-net forming technology is adopted, the shape of the nut blank is directly obtained through plastic deformation, the
cutting allowance of
machining is greatly reduced, a large number of raw materials are prevented from becoming sweeps, the material
utilization rate is remarkably increased, and the
raw material cost is effectively reduced; by accurately controlling the initial
forging temperature, the final forging temperature and the
cooling speed of hot forging as well as subsequent
solution treatment and
precipitation hardening treatment, grains can be refined, and the
precipitation form and distribution of a strengthening phase can be controlled, so that the
microstructure of the material is optimized, and the material obtains more excellent comprehensive mechanical properties such as higher strength,
plasticity and
toughness cooperation; and the harsh working condition requirements of nuclear equipment can be better met. The process provided by the invention ensures the stability and consistency of product performance.
