Definitions
- Iron-aluminum alloys can be used in parts of thermal machines that are subjected to high thermal loads and are subject to oxidizing and / or corrosive effects. There, they are expected to increasingly replace special steels and nickel-based superalloys.
- the invention is based on the object of developing an iron-aluminum alloy which is distinguished by good mechanical properties at temperatures of more than 700 ° C.
- the object of the invention is also a suitable use of this alloy.
- the alloy according to the invention still has mechanical properties which enable it to be used in components which are subject to slight mechanical loads.
- the alloy according to the invention is characterized by excellent thermal shock resistance and can therefore be used with particular advantage in parts of thermal systems subject to thermal shock, such as in particular as a housing or housing part of a gas turbine or a turbocharger or as a nozzle ring, in particular for a turbocharger.
- the alloy can be produced very cheaply by casting or by casting and rolling.
- Another advantage of the alloy according to the invention is that its constituents exclusively contain metals, which are comparatively inexpensive and are available regardless of strategic-political influence.
- the sole figure shows a diagram in which the tensile strength UTS [MPa] of an alloy I according to the invention and an alloy II according to the prior art is shown as a function of the temperature T [° C.].
- Alloys I and II shown in the figure have the following compositions: Alloy I (alloy according to a preferred embodiment of the invention): component At.% aluminum 16.00 chrome 5.00 niobium 1.00 Silicon 1.00 boron 3.53 titanium 1.51 carbon 300ppm zirconium 100ppm iron rest Alloy II (state of the art alloy) component At%. Silicon 4.00 carbon 3.35 molybdenum 1.00 manganese 0.30 phosphorus 0.01 sulfur 0.05 iron rest
- Alloy I was melted in an arc furnace under argon as a protective gas.
- the individual elements with a degree of purity of more than 99% served as starting materials.
- the melt was poured into a cast body approximately 100 mm in diameter and approximately 100 mm high.
- the cast body was melted again under vacuum and also under vacuum in the form of round bars with a diameter of approx. 12 mm and a length of approx. 70 mm, in the form of carrots with a minimum diameter of approx. 10 mm and a maximum diameter of approx. 16 mm and a length of approx. 65 mm or in the form of disc-shaped discs with a disc diameter of 80 mm, a disc thickness of up to 14 mm and a radius at the edge of the disc of approx.
- test specimens for tensile tests were made from the round bars and carrots. The disks were used to determine the thermal shock resistance.
- Correspondingly sized test specimens for determining the mechanical strength and the thermal shock resistance were made from the commercially available alloy II, which is used to a large extent as a material for gas turbine casings, and a related alloy with an approximately 25% lower silicon content and an approximately 40% lower content Made of molybdenum.
- the thermal shock resistance according to Glenny was determined with the help of the disc-shaped discs. Two disks per alloy were cyclically heated to 650 ° C in a fluid bed and then cooled to 200 C with compressed air. After a certain number of such heating and cooling cycles, the number of cracks possibly forming at the edge of the panes with a crack length greater than 2 mm was then counted. The total number of cracks occurring on both disks as a function of the number of cycles is given below for alloy I according to the invention and the two alloys according to the prior art.
- the alloy according to the invention outperforms comparable usable alloys according to the prior art not only in terms of mechanical strength at temperatures higher than 700 ° C., but also in terms of thermal shock resistance.
- the alloy according to the invention can therefore be used with particular advantage as a material for components of thermal systems which still have a relatively high mechanical strength at temperatures between 700.degree. C. and 800.degree. C. and which, like gas turbine housings, are subject to severe temperature changes.
- Alloying 0.1 to 10 at% chromium further increases the thermal shock, oxidation and corrosion resistance. Chromium also improves ductility. However, additions of more than 10 at.% Cr generally deteriorate the mechanical properties again.
- Alloying 0.1 to 2 at% of niobium increases the hardness and strength of the alloy according to the invention.
- tungsten and / or tantalum can also be added in a proportion of 0.1 to 2 at%.
- a proportion of 0.1 to 2 at% silicon improves the castability of the alloy according to the invention and has a favorable effect on its resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Silicon also increases hardness.
- the thermal shock, oxidation and corrosion resistance of the alloy according to the invention is considerably improved. This is primarily due to the fact that finely divided titanium diboride TiB2 then forms in the alloy.
- a protective layer predominantly containing aluminum oxides forms on the surface of the alloy according to the invention.
- the titanium diboride phase contributes to a substantial stabilization of this protective layer by the titanium diboride phase engaging in the protective layer, for example in the form of acicular crystallites from the alloy, and thereby causing the protective layer to adhere particularly well to the underlying alloy.
- the proportion of boron should not be more than 5 at% and that of titanium should not be more than 2 at%, since otherwise too much titanium diboride will form and the alloy will become brittle. If the proportion of boron is below 0.1 at% and that of titanium below 0.01 at%, the thermal shock, oxidation and corrosion resistance of the alloy according to the invention deteriorate considerably.
- Alloys with the following composition have particularly good values of mechanical strength and thermal shock resistance: 14 - 16 aluminum 0.5 - 1.5 niobium 4 - 6 chrome 0.5-1.5 silicon 3 - 4 boron 1 - 2 titanium approx. 300 ppm carbon approx. 100 ppm zirconium Rest of iron.
