Description

Copper-silver-zirconium alloy and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of alloys, and particularly relates to a copper-silver-zirconium alloy and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen rocket engines need to work under high temperature and high pressure environment, and the inner wall of the combustion chamber of the liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen rocket engine needs to be made of materials with high heat conduction and certain high temperature strength. The copper silver zirconium (cu3ag0.5zr) alloy developed by NASA in the united states at the end of the 20 th century for the main engine combustion chamber of a space shuttle is the most typical inner wall material meeting the above requirements. The alloy has a thermal conductivity of up to 320W/(m.K), and the combustion chamber made of the alloy is designed with cooling channels, and the throat can bear up to 163 MW/m 2 Belongs to the inner wall material of the third generation combustion chamber. However, the preparation and structure control of the alloy have been a major problem. Because the Zr content in the copper-silver-zirconium alloy is up to 0.5 percent (mass fraction, the same applies below), and the maximum equilibrium solid solubility of Zr in copper is only about 0.14 percent, the alloy is extremely easy to cause second phase segregation in the conventional casting and solidification processes. The second phase size in the alloy is then from a few microns to tens of microns even through subsequent solid solution and plastic deformation treatments. The properties of copper silver zirconium alloys are largely dependent on the uniformity of the microstructure and the purity of the substrate. Therefore, how to improve the uniformity of the microstructure of the copper-silver-zirconium alloy, improve the appearance, the size and the distribution of the second phase precipitation, and purify the matrix is the research focus and the difficulty of the preparation process of the copper-silver-zirconium alloy.
Currently, the main production method of the alloy is vacuum smelting casting, forging and heat treatment (CN 104232978B). Because of the indissolvable property of zirconium, the copper-silver-zirconium alloy prepared by the process inevitably has micron-sized intermetallic compound segregation on the grain boundary. The NASA solution is to use laser or electron beam to carry out secondary treatment on the surface of the inner wall material, and the second phase with coarse surface layer is homogenized and refined, which is favorable for reducing the crack initiation tendency of the material in the service process and prolonging the service life (Journal of Materials Science, 1997, 32 (14): 3891-3903). However, the surface of the alloy prepared by the conventional casting method is subjected to laser or electron beam treatment, the depth of a refinement layer is generally only tens to hundreds of micrometers, the surface treatment cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the inside of the material, and the treatment process is complex and the cost is high. It can be seen that the performance of the copper-silver-zirconium alloy is also improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems, overcome the defects and the shortcomings in the background art, provide a copper-silver-zirconium alloy, a preparation method and application thereof, and improve the high-temperature mechanical properties of the alloy.
In order to solve the technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
the preparation method of the copper-silver-zirconium alloy comprises the following steps:
s1, preparing materials according to the composition of copper-silver-zirconium alloy, wherein the copper-silver-zirconium alloy comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 2.1-3.8% of silver, 0.3-1.1% of zirconium, 0.1-0.3% of rare earth cerium and the balance of copper;
s2, carrying out vacuum melting and atomization on the alloy raw materials after the proportioning, controlling the temperature of an alloy melt in the vacuum melting at 1250-1450 ℃ and keeping the temperature for 30-60 min, and then adjusting the atomization pressure to 3-4 MPa for atomization to obtain prealloy powder;
s3, sintering and densification treatment are carried out on the prealloyed powder through hot isostatic pressing, the pressure is controlled to be 120-180 MPa, the temperature is controlled to be 800-950 ℃, and the pressure maintaining and heat preserving time is 2-24 hours;
s4, forging, upsetting and deforming the hot isostatic pressing alloy;
and S5, performing heat treatment on the wrought alloy to obtain the copper-silver-zirconium alloy.
As a further improvement, the content of zirconium in the copper-silver-zirconium alloy in S1 is 0.3-0.6%, and the content of rare earth cerium is 0.15-0.25%.
As a further improvement, the zirconium and the rare earth cerium in S1 are added in a mode of adopting copper-zirconium and copper-cerium intermediate alloy.
As a further improvement, in S2, vacuum melting is performed using argon as a shielding gas.
As a further improvement, in S3, adopting a cylindrical sheath for hot isostatic pressing sintering; s4, cutting the isostatic alloy into a cylinder, keeping a sheath on the cylindrical surface, removing the end surface sheath, and forging, upsetting and deforming.
As a further improvement, the forging upsetting deformation in the step S4 is carried out, and the initial forging temperature is 650-800 ℃.
As a further improvement, the heat treatment temperature in S5 is 350-400 ℃, and the heat treatment time is 2-10 h.
The invention provides a copper-silver-zirconium alloy, which is prepared by adopting the method, wherein the second phase is spherical, and the size is controlled to be 0.3-1.0 mu m.
The invention provides an application of a copper-silver-zirconium alloy prepared by the method in an inner wall material of a combustion chamber of an engine.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the invention uses vacuum smelting argon atomization to prepare prealloy powder, then adopts hot isostatic pressing to sinter and densify the powder, and finally regulates and controls alloy structure through plastic deformation and heat treatment to obtain copper-silver-zirconium alloy cooperatively reinforced by submicron-sized second phase and superfine crystals with good heat stability.

Under rapid solidification conditions, the ultimate solid solubility of zirconium in copper expands from about 0.14% in the equilibrium state to about 1.33% in the non-equilibrium state. By controlling sintering conditions, supersaturated zirconium atoms dissolved in the powder can be dispersed and separated out in the form of submicron or even nanometer second phase at the sintering temperature lower than the melting point, thereby avoiding zirconium segregation in the conventional smelting process and improving the high-temperature mechanical property of the alloy.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments are shown, for the purpose of illustrating the invention, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments shown.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used hereinafter have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the scope of the present invention.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments, equipment and the like used in the present invention are commercially available or may be prepared by existing methods.
The copper-silver-zirconium alloy of some specific embodiments of the invention comprises the following components in percentage by mass: silver 2.1-3.8%, zirconium 0.3-1.1% (preferably 0.3-0.6%), rare earth cerium 0.1-0.3% (preferably 0.15-0.25%), and copper in balance.
The preparation method of the copper-silver-zirconium alloy comprises the following steps of:
s1: batching;
s2: vacuum smelting and atomizing to obtain prealloyed powder;
s3: sintering by hot isostatic pressing and densification;
s4: forging deformation of the belt sleeve;
s5: and (5) heat treatment.
In some embodiments, in the step S1, for the element zirconium and rare earth element cerium that are easy to burn out, the addition is performed by adopting a copper-zirconium and copper-cerium intermediate alloy mode, so that the burn out of the two elements in the smelting process can be effectively reduced.
In some embodiments, in the step S2, argon is used as a shielding gas for vacuum melting, the temperature of the alloy melt is controlled at 1250-1450 ℃, the temperature is kept for 30-60 min, and the atomization pressure of the argon is regulated to 3-4 MPa for atomization, so as to obtain prealloy powder. Compared with a powder product obtained by mechanical alloying, prealloyed powder is obtained by argon atomization, wherein metals with various components are smelted into an alloy in advance before sintering according to the designed component proportion, and then atomized and sprayed. Each powder contains various metal elements for forming the alloy, and the prealloyed powder has quite good component uniformity; the eutectic point is much lower than the melting point of the single element in the alloy, and sintering densification can be performed only when the sintering temperature exceeds the liquidus point of the prealloyed powder by a little during the sintering process. In addition, the possibility of introducing impurities during the mechanical alloying process is avoided.
The prealloy powder obtained by the invention is used as a raw material, so that the element segregation in the conventional smelting and casting process is fundamentally solved, and the uniformity of alloy components is ensured. The alloy material prepared from the prealloyed powder has high alloying degree, good uniformity and high purity.
In some embodiments, in the step S3, the prealloyed powder is first put into a sheath, and is pressurized and heated in a hot isostatic pressing furnace, the pressure is 120-180 MPa, the temperature is 800-950 ℃, and the pressure maintaining and heat preserving time is 2-24 hours. Sintering and densification treatment are carried out on the powder through hot isostatic pressing, so that the complete densification of the alloy material is ensured.
In some embodiments, in the step S4, the hot isostatic pressing alloy is cut into a cylindrical shape, the cylindrical surface is kept with a sheath, the end surface sheath is removed, forging upsetting deformation is performed, the initial forging temperature is 650-800 ℃, and upsetting is performed to 10-15 mm. The second phase and grains in the alloy are secondarily crushed by hot forging. Without sheath forging, the material is only subjected to unidirectional compressive stress and bidirectional tensile stress in the free forging process, the drum shape is easy to appear, difficult deformation areas exist on the upper surface and the lower surface, and the outer surface of the material can generate micro cracks and other defects under the action of the bidirectional tensile stress, so that the mechanical property is poor. Under the condition that the sheath exists, the material is in a three-way compressive stress state, so that the appearance of double drums of the forging can be avoided, and microcracks in the material can be effectively bridged.
In some embodiments, in the step S5, the heat treatment temperature is 350-400 ℃, the heat treatment time is 2-10 hours, and air cooling is adopted. The structure and the performance of the alloy are regulated and controlled through heat treatment, and the copper-silver-zirconium alloy with good high-temperature performance is obtained.
In some embodiments, the second phase is spherical, and the size is controlled to be between 0.3 and 1.0 μm, and the size is far lower than a few micrometers or even tens of micrometers in the prior art.
In some embodiments, the second phase contains copper, silver, zirconium and cerium, and the enrichment of cerium can spheroidize the second phase on one hand, reduce stress concentration in service state, improve the thermal stability of the second phase on the other hand, and improve high-temperature mechanical properties.
Compared with the prior art, the method for obtaining the copper-silver-zirconium alloy with fine dispersion of the second phase size and fine grain size through powder metallurgy rapid solidification is provided, and segregation of a zirconium-rich phase in a conventional vacuum smelting casting process can be effectively avoided, so that the tendency of initiation and expansion of microcracks from a coarse second phase in a high-temperature high-pressure service environment is reduced.
The invention also adds trace rare earth for adsorbing impurities in the melt, thus improving the purity of the material, and the addition of rare earth elements is helpful for further refining grains while not obviously reducing the plasticity of the alloy, spheroidizing the second phase, increasing the thermal stability of the second phase and the grain size and further effectively improving the high-temperature mechanical property of the alloy.

The performance data for the examples and comparative examples are now presented in table 1.
TABLE 1
From this, it can be seen that the example added 0.2% rare earth with the best performance. In example 3, when the rare earth addition amount was increased to 0.3%, the performance was rather in a decreasing trend. The addition of excessive rare earth can form excessive intermetallic compound with larger size on the grain boundary, reduce the strength and plasticity of the alloy and mask the adverse effect of the rare earth. Comparative example 1 shows inferior performance compared to the alloy added with 0.1% and 0.2% because strengthening is performed without adding rare earth. In comparative example 2, since the forging with the sheath is not performed, the material is only subjected to unidirectional compressive stress and bidirectional tensile stress in the free forging process, the drum shape is easy to appear, the upper surface and the lower surface have difficult deformation areas, and the outer surface of the material can generate defects such as microcracks under the action of the bidirectional tensile stress, so that the mechanical property performance is poor. Under the condition that the sheath exists, the material is in a three-way compressive stress state, so that the appearance of double drums of the forging can be avoided, and microcracks in the material can be effectively bridged. Comparative example 3, because no powder metallurgy method was used, caused segregation of the second phase grain boundaries during conventional casting and solidification, the subsequent plastic deformation also failed to break up the bulk second phase, resulting in a decrease in high temperature mechanical properties.
The foregoing is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent variation and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical substance of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
