Description

Grain boundary regulation and control method for improving weldability of cast high-temperature alloy and welding process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of high-temperature alloy materials, in particular to a grain boundary regulation and control method and a welding process for improving the weldability of cast high-temperature alloy.
Background
Ni-based superalloys are based primarily on coherent L12The-gamma ' phase is strengthened, wherein the gamma ' phase is uniformly distributed in a matrix of an FCC phase in a cubic shape, and dislocation deformation is difficult to cut through the gamma ', so the alloy often has good high-temperature structure stability, creep deformation resistance and excellent fatigue resistance and oxidation resistance. For members such as industrial gas turbines and aircraft engines which are subject to severe service conditions such as high temperature and high stress, the excellent mechanical properties of Ni-based high temperature alloys make them ideal structural materials. The M951 superalloy is a cast superalloy independently developed by the institute of Metal, national academy of sciences, and has excellent high-temperature tensile properties, good creep deformation resistance, excellent high-temperature oxidation resistance, good castability, and low cost. These excellent properties have led to the widespread use of M951 superalloys in the field of industrial gas turbines and aircraft engines.
The fusion welding is an economic, convenient and efficient material connecting and repairing method, the application of the fusion welding method in the high-temperature alloy structural material has obvious economic benefits and important practical significance, and meanwhile, the material with good weldability can also have wider application in practical industrial application. However, in order to maintain excellent high-temperature mechanical properties of the superalloy, the addition of various alloying elements, such as Cr, Mo, Al, Ti, etc., causes a significant deterioration in weldability of the superalloy. During the welding process of fusion welding, due to welding stress and formation of an unbalanced welded structure, welding heat cracks of various kinds such as a liquefied crack, a solidification crack, and the like are very easily formed in a heat affected zone of a joint and a fusion zone. These frequently occurring weld cracking problems are major factors that limit the applicability of the fusion welding process to superalloy materials. In the process of welding temperature rise, the strength of the grain boundary at high temperature is weaker than that in the crystal, so the grain boundary is the main position for forming welding cracks, and the precipitated phase composition, the element segregation state and the morphology of the grain boundary can be effectively improved by adopting a reasonable grain boundary regulation and control method, so that the welding performance of the alloy material is obviously improved, and the welding hot crack resistance of the alloy is greatly improved.
At present, how to improve the welding heat crack resistance of a high-temperature alloy material M951 with high application value and wide potential application range by a grain boundary regulation and control method and an action mechanism of the grain boundary regulation and control on the improvement of the welding crack resistance of the alloy are not clear. In order to expand the application of the M951 high-temperature alloy in certain specific fields and enable the fusion welding method to be successfully applied to the connection and repair of the M951 alloy, a reasonable grain boundary regulation and control method needs to be developed to realize the application of the fusion welding process in the M951 alloy.

The M23X6 precipitated phase continuously precipitated along the grain boundary and the B element segregated along the grain boundary, and the jagged grain boundary microstructure are the key reasons for the improved welding crack resistance of the alloy. During the heating process of the welding heat cycle, under the action of high temperature in a heat affected zone close to a melting zone, a grain boundary precipitated phase M23X6 and an MC phase are locally dissolved in a solid solution, and because solute elements are difficult to diffuse for a long distance in a short time, local segregation is formed at the grain boundary of the heat affected zone, and a liquefaction process is generated in the heat affected zone during the welding heating process.
(2) Because the B element is distributed in the grain boundary, a skin effect is formed, the solid-liquid interface energy of the liquid film can be obviously reduced, and the ductility of the liquid film is favorably improved, so that the grain boundary movement deformation at high temperature is coordinated, and the crack resistance of the alloy is improved.
(3) The bent crystal boundary effectively inhibits the expansion process of cracks in the liquid film, the resistance of the liquid film after cracking is formed and expanded along the bent crystal boundary is increased, the cracks can not expand or even heal along with the accumulation of residual stress in the solidification process of the welding cooling liquid film, and after the liquid film is solidified, the crystal boundary phase is subjected to the remelting process, so that the total length of the welding hot cracks can be controlled to be an extremely low value. The series of grain boundary microstructures is changed along with the heating process and the cooling process of welding, and a schematic diagram of the process is shown in a figure (3).
The invention discloses a method for improving weldability of M951 high-temperature alloy by regulating and controlling a grain boundary structure and a preparation method of a welding material. At present, in certain specific occasions, the M951 high-temperature alloy structural member needs to be repaired and connected through a fusion welding process urgently, and meanwhile, fusion welding is a flexible, economic and efficient process method, and the application of the process method has important practical significance, so that the grain boundary regulation and control process has important industrial application and economic benefit values.
