Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of high-temperature heating, in particular to a sample high-temperature heating method suitable for directional solidification and casting of materials in a hypergravity environment.
Background
The high-pressure turbine working blade is used as one of key components of hot end components of an aeroengine and a gas turbine, and works under coupling loading conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, high rotating speed, alternating load and the like for a long time in service, so that the high-pressure turbine working blade is a rotating component with the worst working condition in the engine, and the use reliability of the high-pressure turbine working blade directly influences the performance of the whole engine. In the development process of the high-temperature alloy, the process plays a great role in promoting the development of the high-temperature alloy. Generally, in order to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of the superalloy, two approaches are adopted: firstly, a large amount of alloying elements are added, and solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, grain boundary strengthening and the like are generated by a reasonable heat treatment process, so that the high-temperature alloy is ensured to have good strength from room temperature to high temperature, good stability and good plasticity; starting from the solidification process, preparing columnar crystal high-temperature alloy with grain boundaries parallel to a main stress axis so as to eliminate harmful transverse grain boundaries or preparing single crystal high-temperature alloy with all grain boundaries eliminated by adopting a directional solidification process.
As the transverse grain boundary is eliminated or the grain boundary is completely eliminated, the crystal grows along the specific direction of [001], the initial melting temperature and the solution treatment window temperature are increased, the gamma quantity is increased and refined, the performance is greatly improved, and the use temperature is increased.
