Description

Method for improving component uniformity of niobium-tungsten alloy cast ingot
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of material processing, and particularly relates to a method for improving component uniformity of a niobium-tungsten alloy cast ingot.
Background
The refractory metal niobium has the characteristics of high melting point, low density, highest specific strength in the range of 1093-1427 ℃, good plasticity and processability at the low temperature of-200 ℃, and the most easily added components to form an alloy, so that the refractory metal niobium is the most preferred structural material and thermal protection material in the prior aerospace. The main alloy elements of the niobium-tungsten alloy are W, mo and Zr, wherein W, mo elements and Nb have the atomic radius close to each other, so that the niobium-tungsten alloy not only has the function of solid solution strengthening, but also can improve the high-temperature strength and creep property; the Zr element not only can play a role in precipitation strengthening, but also can reduce nonmetallic inclusion and interstitial impurity aggregation on the grain boundary, thereby being beneficial to improving the plasticity and the workability of the alloy. The working temperature of the niobium-tungsten alloy under the protection of the molybdenum silicide coating can reach 1600 ℃, compared with the C103 alloy, the niobium-tungsten alloy can greatly reduce the propellant for cooling and improve the specific impulse of an engine, and has gradually become the niobium alloy with the largest dosage in recent years.
Today, niobium tungsten alloys are available in both low carbon niobium tungsten alloys and high carbon niobium tungsten alloys. It was found that carbon can form various carbides with Nb, zr, etc. as matrix in the alloy, and that the higher the carbon content, the higher the content of these carbides. Carbide dispersedly distributes crystal inside or at crystal boundary, plays a role of refining crystal grains, and simultaneously plays a role of blocking the movement of the crystal boundary in the high-temperature deformation process of the material, so that the high-temperature performance of the material is improved, and therefore, the existing high-carbon niobium tungsten alloy has a tendency of becoming the mainstream niobium tungsten alloy.
The oxygen content of the high-carbon niobium-tungsten alloy is required to be not more than 0.01wt percent, and the carbon content is 0.05 to 0.12wt percent; the low carbon niobium tungsten alloy has an oxygen content of no greater than 0.023wt.% and a carbon content of no greater than 0.02wt.%. The alloy elements of the qualified high-carbon niobium tungsten alloy cast ingot are as follows: c: (0.05 to 0.12) wt.%, W: (4.5 to 5.5) wt.%, mo: (1.7 to 2.3) wt.%, zr: (0.7 to 1.2) wt.%. In industry, the low-carbon niobium-tungsten alloy is purified by vacuum electron beam melting firstly and then subjected to alloy homogenization by vacuum consumable arc melting, and the cast ingot prepared by the method not only can homogenize main alloy elements W, mo and Zr, but also can ensure that the oxygen content meets the requirement. However, for the high-carbon niobium tungsten alloy with more strict oxygen content requirement, the vacuum degree of the arc melting furnace is far less than that of the electron beam melting furnace, and oxygen enrichment exists in the arc melting in the melting process, so that the condition that the oxygen content of an ingot after the arc melting is always more than 0.01wt.% occurs, and the chemical components of the ingot are unqualified, therefore, the ingot can only be prepared by using the electron beam melting in the industry.
In the prior art, due to the shallow depth of a molten pool of electron beam melting, lack of stirring of an electric arc in arc melting and large density difference of each alloy element, the alloy elements are extremely unevenly distributed in the molten pool, so that the uniformity of components of an ingot is poor. The common problems about chemical components in the existing high-carbon niobium tungsten alloy cast ingot are as follows: on the cross section of the ingot, 1) the content of the high-density element W in the center is higher than that in the side, the maximum deviation exceeds 20%, wherein the deviation value= (large value-small value)/small value; 2) The distribution of the low-density elements C, mo and Zr is extremely uneven, the characteristic that the content of the edge part is slightly higher than that of the core part is shown, and the maximum deviation is up to 30%; 3) The non-uniformity of the alloy elements causes local overscaling so that the components of the cast ingot are disqualified. In addition, the alloy elements are unevenly distributed in the ingot along with the increase of the specification of the ingot, so that the performance of the processed material has great fluctuation, and the use stability in a high-temperature environment is affected.
