Abstract

The method for the fabrication of complicated construction elements from sinterable intermetal phases utilizes special additives which act as sintering activators and increase the ductility of finished construction elements. Different utilization examples are given. The method is used for fabricating elements on which high thermal and mechanical stresses are exerted, particularly for aircraft engines.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von kompliziert geformten Bauteilen aus sinterfähigem Pulver der intermetallischen Phasen TiAl, TiAl3 bzw. NiAl, Ni3Al.The invention relates to a method for producing complex-shaped components from sinterable powder of the intermetallic phases TiAl, TiAl 3 or NiAl, Ni 3 Al.

Aus den Druckschriften DE-C-897 921 und GB-A-2 131 457 sind Sinterverfahren bekannt, bei denen zunächst intermetallische Phasen erschmolzen und als Vorlegierung zerkleinert werden und anschließend mit einem Zusatz von einem Weichmetallpulver wie Aluminiumpulver zu Bauteilen gepreßt und gesintert werden, die besonders Druck- und Gleitbeanspruchungen standhalten. Diese Sinterverfahren haben den Nachteil, daß durch den hohen Anteil an Weichmetallpulver im Sintergemisch keine Körper für hohe Zugbeanspruchung gesintert werden können.Sintering processes are known from the documents DE-C-897 921 and GB-A-2 131 457, in which intermetallic phases are first melted and comminuted as a master alloy and then pressed and sintered to form components with an addition of a soft metal powder such as aluminum powder especially withstand pressure and sliding loads. These sintering processes have the disadvantage that, owing to the high proportion of soft metal powder in the sintering mixture, no bodies can be sintered for high tensile stress.

Die intermetallischen Phasen, TiAI, TiAI3 bzw. NiAI, Ni3AI weisen ein geringes spezifisches Gewicht und einen hohen Schmelzpunkt auf. Werkstoffe auf dieser Basis sind daher für den Einsatz in thermisch und mechanisch hoch belasteten Bauteilen, insbesondere in Flugtriebwerken, interessant.The intermetallic phases, TiAI, TiAI 3 or NiAI, Ni 3 AI have a low specific weight and a high melting point. Materials on this basis are therefore of interest for use in components that are subject to high thermal and mechanical loads, particularly in aircraft engines.

Die Problematik dieser Werkstoffe liegt in ihrer Sprödigkeit. Seit einiger Zeit sind Verfahren bekannt, um die Duktilität der intermetallischen Phasen zu steigern. Dies geschieht durch Zulegieren eines weiteren Elements, z.B. von Nb in TiAI3 oder von B in NiAl.The problem with these materials is their brittleness. Methods for increasing the ductility of the intermetallic phases have been known for some time. This is done by alloying another element, for example Nb in TiAI 3 or B in NiAl.

Die Werkstoffe werden bisher schmelzmetallurgisch oder durch Reaktion aus den Elementen hergestellt, d.h. es wird z.B. AI-Pulver- mit Ti-Pulver und Nb-Pulver gemischt und in einer Stempelpresse erhitzt. Bei der einsetzenden chemischen Reaktion entsteht Wärme und es bildet sich die gewünschte Legierung. Mit diesem Verfahren ist es bisher nicht möglich, auf einfache Weise kompliziert geformte Bauteile herzustellen.The materials have so far been produced from the elements by melt metallurgy or by reaction, i.e. e.g. Al powder mixed with Ti powder and Nb powder and heated in a stamp press. When the chemical reaction begins, heat is generated and the desired alloy is formed. With this method it has so far not been possible to produce complicatedly shaped components in a simple manner.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren anzugeben, das es gestattet, auf einfache Weise Bauteile aus intermetallischen Phasen herzustellen, die kompliziert geformt sind und die im Betrieb hohen Zugbelastungen sowie hohen Temperaturen und/oder chemischen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt sind und das es gestattet diese auf einfache Weise herzustellen.The object of the invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to produce components from intermetallic phases in a simple manner, which are complicated in shape and which are exposed to high tensile loads and high temperatures and / or chemical stresses during operation, and which allows them to be carried out in a simple manner Way to manufacture.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren mit folgenden Verfahrensschritten:

  • a) Erschmelzen einer Vorlegierung der intermetallischen Phasen TiAI, TiAI3 bzw. NiAI, Ni3AI,
  • b) Zerkleinern der Vorlegierung zu einem feinen Pulver,
  • c) Mischen mit den Duktilisierungszusätzen Nb bzw. B die 0,5 bis 10 Gew.-% der intermetallischen Phasen Ti/AI bzw. Ni/AI ausmachen und gleichzeitig eine Sinterhilfe darstellen,
  • d) Formgebung des Gemisches,
  • e) Sintern bei einer Temperatur von 70 bis 95% des absoluten Schmelzpunktes der intermetallischen Phase zu einem nachpreßbaren Bauteil gesteigerter Duktilität und einer Dichte von größer als 95% der theoretischen Dichte.
This task is solved by a process with the following process steps:
  • a) melting of a master alloy of the intermetallic phases TiAI, TiAI 3 or NiAI, Ni 3 AI,
  • b) grinding the master alloy into a fine powder,
  • c) Mixing with the ductility additives Nb or B which make up 0.5 to 10% by weight of the intermetallic phases Ti / AI or Ni / AI and at the same time represent a sintering aid,
  • d) shaping of the mixture,
  • e) Sintering at a temperature of 70 to 95% of the absolute melting point of the intermetallic phase to a repressable component of increased ductility and a density of greater than 95% of the theoretical density.

AusführungsbeispielEmbodiment

Ausgegangen wird von einer Vorlegierung der intermetallischen Phase TiAl, TiAl3 bzw. Ni3Al, NiA die abgesehen von unvermeidlichen Verunreinigungen nur diese enthält. Diese Vorlegierung wird erschmolzen.A pre-alloy of the intermetallic phase TiAl, TiAl 3 or Ni 3 Al, NiA is assumed which, apart from inevitable impurities, contains only these. This master alloy is melted.

Wegen der Sprödigkeit der intermetallischen Phase läßt sich die Vorlegierung in an sich bekannter Weise zu einem feinen Pulver vermahlen (Prallmühle, Kugelmühle, Luftstrahlmühle) oder verdüsen (wie an sich bekannt, z.B. aus der De-AS 22 22 830).Because of the brittleness of the intermetallic phase, the master alloy can be ground to a fine powder in a manner known per se (impact mill, ball mill, air jet mill) or atomized (as known per se, e.g. from DE-AS 22 22 830).

Dieses Pulver wird nun mit einem Pulver von einem oder mehreren weiteren Elementen vermischt. Dabei ist es wünschenswert, daß diese Pulver feiner sind als das der intermetallischen Phase.This powder is now mixed with a powder of one or more other elements. It is desirable that these powders be finer than that of the intermetallic phase.

Als weitere Elemente werden solche verwendet, die eine Zunahme der Duktilität der intermetallischen Phase bewirken und zwar B für Ni/AI bzw. Nb für Ti/AI mit einem Anteil von 0,5 bis 10 Gew.-%.As further elements, those are used which cause an increase in the ductility of the intermetallic phase, namely B for Ni / Al or Nb for Ti / Al with a proportion of 0.5 to 10% by weight.

Dabei werden Gleit- und Bindemittel durch eine Wärmebehandlung in an sich bekannter Weise entfernt (Wärmebehandlung unter Vakuum oder Inertgas bis 600°C). Das Sintern erfolgt in der gleichen Atmosphäre wie die vorstehende Wärmebehandlung und unter an sich bekannten Bedingungen, insbesodere bei Temperaturen über 900°C, jedoch kleiner als 95% der Schmelztemperatur. Das Sintern kann auch mehrstufig erfolgen.Lubricants and binders are removed by heat treatment in a manner known per se (heat treatment under vacuum or inert gas up to 600 ° C). The sintering takes place in the same atmosphere as the above heat treatment and under conditions known per se, in particular at temperatures above 900 ° C., but less than 95% of the melting temperature. The sintering can also take place in several stages.

Die Elemente B bzw. Nb die zur Steigerung der Duktilität zugegeben wurden, wirken zugleich als Sinterhilfe, so daß sich bei einer Temperatur von 70 bis 95% (Gew.) des absoluten Schmelzpunktes der intermetallischen Phase eine Sinterung durchführen läßt. Hierbei werden Dichten von 95 bis 99% der theoretischen Dichte innerhalb von 0,1 bis 24 h erreicht.The elements B and Nb which were added to increase the ductility also act as a sintering aid, so that sintering can be carried out at a temperature of 70 to 95% (by weight) of the absolute melting point of the intermetallic phase. Here densities of 95 to 99% of the theoretical density are within 0.1 to 24 h reached.
