Definitions
- the present invention relates to nickel superalloys and methods for making nickel superalloys having high oxidation resistance and containing controlled amounts of boron and zirconium.
- Such nickel superalloys are suitable for use in articles requiring good strength and superior oxidation resistance at high temperatures, including jet engine combustors, nozzles, and low turbine components.
- a variety of nickel based superalloys are known in the art.
- Superalloys are those alloys which maintain high strength at high temperatures. Examples of nickel based superalloys can be found in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,322,543 (Shaw et al.), 3,526,499 (Quigg et al.), 3,653,987 (Boesch), 3,667,938 (Boesch), 3,832,167 (Shaw et al.), and 4,719,080 (Duhl et al.).
- nickel based superalloys include B1900+Hf and Mar-M 247, the nominal compositions of which are, in weight percent, B-l900+HF Mar-M-247 Nickel Balance Balance Chromium 8.0 8.4 Cobalt 10.0 10.0 Carbon 0.11 0.15 Titanium 1.0 1.1 Aluminum 6.0 5.5 Molybdenum 6.0 0.65 Tungsten - 10.0 Boron 0.015 0.015 Hafnium 1.15 1.4 Tantalum 4.25 3.1 Zirconium 0.08 0.055 Due to their ability to maintain good mechanical strength at high temperatures, these alloys are especially useful as a material for making components of jet engines.
- Boron is typically added in the range of 0.010 to 0.020 weight percent to conventionally cast superalloys for the enhancement of grain boundary strength and ductility.
- Zirconium is typically added in the range of 0.03 to 0.13 weight percent for further grain boundary property enhancement.
- Yttrium can be added to nickel superalloys to enhance their oxidation resistance.
- the nickel superalloys of the prior art which demonstrate excellent oxidation resistance at high temperature are too brittle.
- nickel superalloys which have excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures while at the same time possessing good ductility.
- turbine components in jet engines which have good strength and excellent oxidation resistance within the temperature range of 760°C (14000F) to 1038°C (19000F).
- nickel based superalloys which have excellent oxidation resistance at high temperatures and also have good ductility.
- a polycrystalline nickel based superalloy having between about 0.25 to 0.40 weight percent zirconium and about 0.004 to 0.010 weight percent boron.
- the alloys of the present invention have demonstrated excellent oxidation resistance up to 1093°C (2000°F), and in preferable instances up to 1204°C (2200°F).
- the nickel superalloys of the present invention have demonstrated good strength within the temperature range of 760°C (14000F) to 1038°C (19000F).
- the excellent oxidation resistance of the superalloys of the present invention makes them suitable for use in high temperature applications such as in a jet engine combustor, nozzle and low turbine components.
- superalloys of the present invention contain between 5.0 and 8.0 weight percent aluminum in order to form an effective barrier layer which impedes oxidation of the superalloy. Having zirconium present in the superalloy promotes formation of the alumina barrier layer.
- Burner rig oxidation testing revealed the detrimental effect of boron on high temperature (1093°C-1204°C (2000-2200°F)) oxidation resistance. Removing boron from the nickel superalloy solved the oxidation problem, but the resulting alloy had unacceptable ductility. Adding low levels of boron (0.002 to 0.010 weight percent) provided acceptable oxidation behavior, but ductility was marginal at best. The addition of yttrium also presented embrittlement problems due to the formation of surface oxide particles during casting, which result from the reaction between yttrium and the casting ceramics. Through further experimentation, it was discovered that the combination of zirconium and boron at the levels designated in this specification can greatly enhance the oxidation resistance of conventionally cast nickel superalloys, while maintaining grain boundary properties and avoiding inclusion formation during casting.
- the nickel superalloy of the present invention has been found to work when elements are added in the following weight percentages: Element Percentage Chromium 5.0 - 12.0 Hafnium 0.75 - 2.0 Cobalt O - 10.0
- alloy elements can be added for alloy strengthening: Element Percentage Tungsten 0 - 12 Molybdenum 0 - 12 Tantalum 0 - 12 Titanium 0 - 2 Columbium (Niobium) 0 - 2 Carbon 0.06 - 0.20
- the elements manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, iron, bismuth, lead, selenium, tellurium, and thallium are preferably controlled to low levels in order to prevent degradation to the properties of the superalloy.
- the superalloy is comprised of the following elements given in weight percentages: Element Percentage min max Carbon 0.08 - 0.13 Chromium 9.50 - 10.50 Molybdenum 1.75 - 2.25 Tungsten 3.00 - 3.40 Aluminum 6.50 - 6.70 Tantalum 3.90 - 4.30 Hafnium 1.05 - 1.25 Boron 0.004 - 0.010 zirconium 0.25 - 0.35 Nickel remainder1 1 Essentially the balance of the superalloy
- the superalloy of the present invention may contain additive materials, such as the following, up to the indicated percent by weight maximum amounts: manganese (0.20), phosphorus (0.015), sulfur (0.015), silicon (0.10), iron (0.25), titanium (0.10), columbium (0.10), bismuth (0.00005, 0.5 ppm), lead (0.0002, 2 ppm), selenium (0.0001, 1 ppm), tellurium (0.00005, 0.5 ppm), and thallium (0.00005, 0.5 ppm).
- additive materials such as the following, up to the indicated percent by weight maximum amounts: manganese (0.20), phosphorus (0.015), sulfur (0.015), silicon (0.10), iron (0.25), titanium (0.10), columbium (0.10), bismuth (0.00005, 0.5 ppm), lead (0.0002, 2 ppm), selenium (0.0001, 1 ppm), tellurium (0.00005, 0.5 ppm), and thallium (0.00005, 0.5 ppm).
- articles are fabricated by taking an ingot of the requisite composition, which has been cast from a single furnace charge under vacuum, and vacuum remelting and recasting using investment casting procedures that are conventionally used for nickel based alloys.
- Conventional investment casting procedures for superalloys, procedures for forming ingots of superalloys, and other general information regarding superalloys can be found in Superalloys II , Sims et al., eds., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1987.
- alloying elements in their commercially pure form are added to the master heat during ingot formation.
- the alloying elements contain less than maximum ("max") specified amounts of the following additive materials set forth above: Mn, P, S, Si, Fe, Ti, Cb (Nb), Bi, Pb, Se, Te, and T1.
- a nickel superalloy was made having the composition shown in Table I.
- the invention showed superior ductility compared to a compositionally similar nickel alloy whose boron and zirconium content falls outside the critical range defined in the present invention as demonstrated below in Table II.
- Table II Tensile Elongation (percent) Alloy Temperature 24°C (75°F) 644°C (1200°F) 871°C (1600°F) 982°C (1800°F) Invention 6.0 5.3 6.6 7.0 Alloy 1 1.3 0.7 3.3 2.0
- superalloys of the present invention have a mean tensile elongation of three ASTM E 8 tests at 649°C (12000F) exceeding 3.0%. In a preferred embodiment, mean tensile elongation of three ASTM E 8 tests at 649°F (12000F) exceeds 5.0%.
- Burner rig oxidation testing demonstrated that the alloy of the present invention had superior oxidation resistance compared to the conventional nickel superalloys Bl900+HF and Mar-M-247 (see Table I and Figures 1 and 2). After 70 cycles of 1204°C (2200°F) burner rig oxidation, the alloy of this invention lost only about 2% of its weight, as compared to 55% for B1900+HF and 75% for Mar-M-247.
- a liquid fuel burner is controlled by fuel pressure to maintain the temperature of interest.
- the specimens are typically cylindrical rods (12mm (0.47") diameter x 82.5mm (3.25") long in this case). Individual specimens can be tested. Multiple specimens are tested in a rotating spindle. Specimen weight and diameter are measured at intervals during the test to monitor the loss of material via oxide spallation. Oxidation rate is proportional to weight loss (greater weight corresponds to greater oxidation rate).
- a second method of testing oxidation resistance can also be used to characterize the nickel superalloys of the present invention.
- coupons of a superalloy are suspended from a wire and placed into a furnace maintained at 1149°C +/- 14°C (21000F +/- 250F), while exposed to ambient air.
- alloy samples are 12.7 x 19mm +/- 3mm (0.50 X 0.75 in. +/-0.12 in.) by 1.02mm +/- 0.25mm (0.040 in. +/- 0.010-in.). Prior to the initial insertion into the furnace, corners and edges on the sample are rounded. Samples are heated in cycles of 24 +/- 4 hours.
- weight loss from testing at 1149°C (21000F) under cyclic conditions in ambient air for 300 hours does not exceed 10% of the initial sample weight.
- weight loss from testing at 1149°C (21000F) under cyclic conditions in ambient air for 300 hours does not exceed 5.0% of the initial sample weight.
