Description

Preparation process of seed crystal for casting nickel-based single crystal blade with precisely controllable three-dimensional orientation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of single crystal alloy precision casting, in particular to a preparation process of a seed crystal for casting a nickel-based single crystal blade with controllable three-dimensional orientation.
Background
With the rapid development of the aviation engine and the gas turbine industry in China, the requirement on the high-temperature mechanical property of key parts is higher and higher, and the coaxial crystal structure superalloy blade is difficult to serve under the working condition. The nickel-based single crystal superalloy has the advantages of high melting point, excellent high-temperature strength and creep resistance and the like, and is increasingly applied to hot end parts of aeroengines and gas turbines. The precision casting process of the nickel-based high-temperature alloy single crystal blade becomes one of the technical bottlenecks which need to be broken through urgently. But it is worth noting that the mechanical property of the nickel-based superalloy single crystal blade has obvious anisotropy, and primary dendrite generated when casting crystal grows
The best thermal fatigue performance is achieved when the <001> crystal orientation is consistent with the direction of the main stress axis of the blade in service, and the secondary dendrite <010> and <100> crystal orientation of the crystal also has a significant effect on the performance of the blade, so it is desirable to be able to precisely control the primary dendrite <001> and secondary dendrite <010> and <100> crystal orientations when preparing single crystal superalloy blades. The preparation of the single crystal high temperature alloy casting mainly applies a directional solidification process, and at present, the method for preparing the single crystal mainly adopts a crystal selection method and a seed crystal method to obtain the single crystal structure of the required alloy. The crystal selection method is characterized in that a large number of randomly oriented crystal grains are generated by mass nucleation at the bottom of a seeding section, and then a single crystal with a primary dendritic crystal (001) orientation deviation angle within a certain range is obtained through competition growth among the crystal grains in the directional solidification process through a crystal selector structure. The seed crystal is prepared through heating seed crystal with excellent orientation measured in advance and mold casing, heating the melt to cast into the mold casing, remelting the top of the seed crystal, starting drawing and epitaxial growth of monocrystal on the surface of the seed crystal during directional solidification, and controlling the orientation of the monocrystal to be consistent with that of the seed crystal, so as to control the orientation of the primary dendritic crystal and secondary dendritic crystal in the casting precisely. Therefore, the seed crystal method can effectively solve the problem that the crystal orientation of the single crystal superalloy can not be accurately controlled by the crystal selection method, but the existing method for industrially preparing the seed crystal comprises the steps of firstly obtaining test blocks with upper and lower parallel sections by machining a single crystal test bar or a test plate for preparing the seed crystal, calibrating primary dendrite orientation by using an X-ray method, then cutting out the test block with the axial direction parallel to the primary dendrite <001> orientation by using a cutting preparation method, calibrating secondary dendrite orientation by using the X-ray method, and preparing the seed crystal by cutting again. Although the method for preparing the seed crystal has low orientation requirement on the original single crystal test bar or test plate, the preparation steps are complicated, the cutting can not be quickly and accurately positioned and cut, the operability is poor, and the method is not suitable for the engineering application of producing the single crystal blade by the seed crystal method.
