Description

1800 ℃ resistant directional solidification BN shell
Technical Field
The invention relates to a casting shell, in particular to a directional solidification BN shell resistant to 1800 ℃.
Background
The rapid development of the modern aviation industry places higher demands on thrust-to-weight ratio of an aeroengine, and increasing turbine front inlet temperature is one of the most effective ways to achieve large thrust-to-weight ratio. The research shows that when the temperature of the front inlet of the turbine is increased by 55 ℃, the thrust of the engine is increased by 10%, the temperature of the front inlet of the turbine of the next-generation high thrust-weight ratio aeroengine can reach 1827-2027 ℃, and more severe requirements are provided for materials of hot end components (such as turbine blades, turbine outer ring blocks, spray pipes and the like) of the engine. Therefore, developing materials with higher heat resistant temperatures is a critical task to increase the thrust-to-weight ratio of advanced aircraft engines. Currently, high temperature materials with application potential mainly include intermetallic materials (NbSi-based super-high temperature alloys), carbon/carbon composite materials, ceramic-based composite materials, and the like. Of these, nbSi-based ultrahigh-temperature alloys have been widely studied and paid attention to because of their high melting point (over 1700 ℃ C.) and high-temperature tensile properties (over 200MPa high-temperature tensile strength at 1200 ℃ C.).
In the directional solidification process, a shell having a blade shape is preheated in a heat-retaining furnace, and after a predetermined preheating temperature is reached, a high-temperature alloy melt is poured into the shell, and the shell is pulled out of the shell heat-retaining furnace together with the melt at a fixed pull rate, thereby forming a directional heat dissipation, and a columnar/single-crystal structure is obtained after the melt is directionally solidified. For nickel-based superalloy, the shell application temperature is about 1500 ℃, a lost wax method is generally adopted, the surface layer is generally high-purity corundum powder, and the back layer material is generally aluminum oxide/zirconium oxide sand/calcium oxide. However, for NbSi-based superalloys, on the one hand the facing material is easily reacted with the melt during directional solidification; on the other hand, the shell insulation temperature exceeds 1800 ℃, the conventional back layer material alumina is close to the melting point, and zirconium oxide, calcium oxide and the like are easy to soften, so that directional solidification is interrupted.
Patent CN 104550736A discloses a preparation method of boron nitride ceramic shell for titanium alloy precision casting, its technological route adopts lost wax method, surface layer material adopts 325 mesh boron nitride powder material and binder zirconium diacetate or silica sol to mix, and its back layer material adopts conventional mixture of alumina sand and mullite powder material, and is mainly used for solving the problem of shell surface layer and titanium alloy melt reaction. Patent CN 109108224A discloses a preparation method of a ceramic shell for directional solidification investment casting of niobium-silicon-based alloy blades, the process route is also a lost wax method, the surface layer material is mixed powder of calcium oxide stabilized zirconium dioxide and hexagonal boron nitride, the back layer material is calcium oxide stabilized zirconium dioxide powder and powdery zirconium oxide fiber, and the preparation method is mainly used for solving the problem that the ceramic shell is not deformed or cracked when bearing high temperature of 2000 ℃.
However, due to the process characteristics of the lost wax method (natural sizing, conventional sintering), although binders of different properties are tried, the bonding between BN is relatively loose, the surface layer of the shell has the disadvantage of easy falling off, and the back layer of the shell still has the disadvantage of softening at ultra-high temperature (above 1800 ℃). Therefore, for the characteristic of high melting point of intermetallic compound, it is necessary to develop a shell suitable for directional solidification at high temperature above 1800 ℃, and it is necessary to provide the following two conditions (1) that the material of the back layer of the shell can withstand high temperature in the directional solidification process for a long time, i.e. the back layer should have strength meeting the use requirement under the extreme high temperature condition; (2) The shell surface layer material cannot react chemically with the alloying elements, i.e. is still chemically inert with respect to the highly alloyed alloy melt at extremely high temperatures.

a BN type shell structure for directional solidification resistant to high temperatures above 1800 ℃, as shown in fig. 1-3, can be divided into three parts, comprising: shell base, shell main part and pouring cup.
The shell main body is assembled between the shell base and the pouring cup to form a BN shell for directional solidification, and the shell base, the shell main body and the pouring cup are all formed by adopting a hexagonal boron nitride block body through high-temperature and high-pressure sintering after high-temperature and high-pressure sintering.

Wherein,,
the BN high-temperature sintering process comprises the following steps: selecting high-purity hexagonal boron nitride powder with two particle sizes of 20 meshes and 200 meshes, wherein the purity is more than 99wt.%; the purity of the sintering aid boron oxide powder is more than 99 percent, and the addition amount of the sintering aid boron oxide powder is 5wt.%. Raw material powder is weighed according to the adding proportion (20 meshes: 200 meshes=2:8, mass ratio), and is put into a mixer to be mixed for 10 hours, and then is dried in a drying oven for 10 hours to obtain uniform composite powder. And (3) hot-pressing sintering is carried out under the protection of nitrogen after the material mixing is finished, wherein the sintering temperature is 1500 ℃, the sintering pressure is 30MPa, and the sintering time is 60 minutes, so that the large-size boron nitride block is obtained.
