Background technology
Along with the raising of fuel gas inlet temperature, the holding warm ability and can not meet the demands of wrought superalloy turning vane.Cast superalloy has the higher warm ability of holding, and can reach 1000~1100 ℃, thereby the development of cast superalloy has received extensive attention.Since the forties in 20th century, cast superalloy came out; Tempo is very fast; To 20th century the fifties end; Develop the alloy of many excellent performances such as IN100, Ж С 6 К, B1900 and Mar-M200 successively, domesticly also develop and produced a series of cast superalloys such as K403 and K417G in succession.
No matter be English, U.S.A or Russia; Aircraft engine turning vane material adopts nickel base superalloy; Famous Ж С 6y, the Ж С 6 К nickel base superalloys of Russia are mainly used in the preparation turning vane; A Л-31 Ф mover high and low pressure turbine and four kinds of blades of turning vane of third generation fighter Soviet Union 27 equipments all adopt the preparation of Ж С 6y alloy, and American-European developed country adopts the nickel-based monocrystal turning vane in a large number.U.S. PWA1480 monocrystalline is on active service in the turning vane material of JT9D-7R4 aircraft engine for first, and the F100-PV-229 type aircraft engine firsts and seconds turning vane of F15 that the U.S. is famous and F16 fighter equipment also all adopts this alloy preparation.
Development of Aeroengines depends on the development of material and manufacturing technology to a great extent.For rigidity and the resistance to air loss that improves guides, the caused warpage forward of the load of abated effect on individual blade reduces because the caused blade crackle of vibration is dangerous, and third generation aircraft engine adopts conjuncted built-up type turning vane.At present, turning vanes such as two conjuncted, triplet and tetrad are arranged.For example, A Л-31 Ф mover high and low pressure turning vane is the hollow airfilm cooling blade of triplet; The thrust-weight ratio that China produces is that 8 aircraft engine high pressure turning vane is two conjuncted hollow airfilm cooling blades.
External aircraft engine industry when improving structure, also seek that initial melting temperature height, cost are low, use characteristics and the good superalloy of comprehensive mechanical property.In development casting cold blade (Castcool), casting laminate (Lamilloy) cooling blade, also developed the advanced blade material that CMSX-4 single crystal alloy etc. matches like the Ai Lixun company of the U.S..
The K403 alloy is a domestic application nickel base cast turning vane alloy the most widely, and it successively is used as turning vane on 37 kinds of different models of 20 kinds of movers.The K441 alloy of Metal Inst., Chinese Academy of Sciences's development is used for turbo-jet engine and makes the one-level turning vane, has produced 19 movers from year July in June, 1997 to 1999, has 13 movers to participate in taking a flight test examination, has dropped into batch production at present.In addition, certain model turbo-jet engine one-level turborotor adopts the preparation of DZ404 directional columnargrain alloy, and the turbofan engine low pressure I and II turborotor of certain model adopts K417G equiax crystal alloy to process.
In a word, nickel base superalloy is that performance is the most superior so far, and purposes is the most extensive.The upper limit of this alloy use temperature has approached the fusing point of alloy, but still is that withstand temp is the highest in the present advanced mover, the preferred material of the key part that stress-loaded is maximum.

Through instance the present invention is detailed below.
Embodiment 1
Adopt Germany to produce the 500Kg vacuum induction furnace smelting experiment mother alloy of ALD, smelt crucible and select alumina crucible for use, temp measuring system is W-Re galvanic couple and JH-5 type infrared ray optical direction temperature/vacuum degree measuring instrument, and the thermometric protective casing is the outer ZrO of coating
2The Mo-Al of (CeO is stable) and BN
2O
3Metal ceramic tube, vacuum tightness should keep≤and 10
-1The Pa order of magnitude.Operating process is: alloying elements such as carbon, nickel boron master alloy, chromium, tungsten, niobium, hafnium, cobalt, zirconium and nickel plate are packed in the crucible; Vacuumize, (90kw~100kw) gas is adhered in the eliminating of baking crucible, when vacuum tightness reaches 10 to give smaller power
-3During a, increase the power melted alloy; It is abundant to change material initial stage assurance reaction between carbon and oxygen, changes the high temperature refining of clear back, guarantees that alloying constituent is even; At 1600 ℃ of refining 5~7min, refining finishes the back cooling, and power failure, conjunctiva, rupture of membranes add Al and Ti and mishmetal RE (cerium, lanthanum); Back power failure cooling is stirred in high-power then stirring; Adding temperature and the add-on of strict control Al can effectively be removed to guarantee the impurity that fuses in the alloy.It is more high-power that (200kw~240kw) impact rupture of membranes is cast into master alloy ingot at 1450 ℃.
The distinguishing feature of alloying constituent of the present invention contains the hafnium about 1.2wt.% exactly.Hf is strong positive segregation element, significantly promotes γ+γ ' eutectic to form.Zr is also the same with Hf, promotes γ+γ ' eutectic to form, and when adding equal in quality fractional Hf and Zr, the influence of Zr is bigger.The solubleness of Zr in eutectic is lower than Hf, and when Hf was identical with Zr content, the Hf content of γ ' doubled than Zr in the eutectic, and this shows that Zr is not so good as Hf aspect the effect of strengthening γ '.
In the alloy of the present invention, contain the W about 16wt.%.Tungsten can improve interatomic bond power after adding alloy, improves diffusion activation energy, makes diffusion process slack-off, improves recrystallization temperature simultaneously, thereby improves the mechanical behavior under high temperature of alloy.Tungsten γ and γ ' mutually in partition ratio approximate 1.Therefore, the W content height can significantly increase γ ' phase amount, improves the alloy thermostability.In nickel-base casting alloy, the tungsten precedence partition is on the dendrite axle, and then precedence partition is in crystal boundary and dendrite circle for hafnium, so tungsten, hafnium add simultaneously alloy property is played the multiple strengthening effect.But compound N i between excess tungsten meeting precipitating metal
4The proneness of the harmful phase of TCP phase (mainly being the μ phase) is separated out in W and increase.In addition, tungsten is carbide forming element, promotes M
6The C carbide forms.And one of vital role of hafnium is exactly to suppress M
23C
6Or M
6The C carbide is separated out along crystal boundary in a large number, can decompose with MC and the carbon that emit forms stable tiny, the dispersion of secondary, irregular MC (mainly being HfC) particle.Carbide is one of strengthening phase important in the superalloy, its size, and form and distribution have material impact to the mechanical property of alloy.
Among the present invention, a large amount of aluminium and titanium (the Al+Ti sum is 7.4wt.% the most nearly) have also been added.Aluminium and titanium are alloying elements the most basic in the nickel base superalloy, and why nickel-base alloy can become the superalloy of not replacing is exactly because there is γ ' strengthening phase, and aluminium is γ ' main forming element mutually with titanium.Simultaneously, titanium still is the MC carbide forming element, can form more stable TiC.Niobium can be replaced a part of aluminium and got into γ ' mutually with titanium.The partition ratio of niobium in γ/γ ' is about 1:<0.05, promptly most niobiums except that with nearly all get into γ ' mutually carbon combines.Niobium and carbon have very big avidity, can form stable NbC, thus crystal grain thinning effectively.Niobium dissolves in γ ' phase, gets into carbide, thereby improves the thermostability of these phases, delays the gathering growth process of γ ' phase, improves the intensity index of alloy.
