Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine kriechfeste korrosionsbeständige Nickelbasislegierung für Anwendungen in der Hochtemperaturtechnik.The invention relates to a creep-resistant, corrosion-resistant nickel-based alloy for Applications in high temperature technology.

An metallische Werkstoffe, insbesondere für Warmarbeitswerkzeuge, für Komponenten von Gasturbinen und Motoren, für Elemente im Ofenbau sowie in der chemischen Industrie, werden in zunehmendem Maße erhöhte mechanische und korrosionschemische Anforderungen bei Einsatztemperaturen von über 900°C gestellt. Der Korrosionsbeanspruchungen wegen, aber auch im Hinblick auf die Festigkeit und die Zeitstandseigenschaften des Werkstoffes eignen sich chromhältige Nickelbasislegierungen gut für einen Einsatz bei höchsten Temperaturen.On metallic materials, especially for hot work tools, for Components of gas turbines and engines, for elements in furnace construction and in the chemical industry, are increasing mechanical and increasing Corrosion-chemical requirements at operating temperatures of over 900 ° C posed. Because of the corrosion stresses, but also with regard to the Strength and the creep properties of the material are suitable Chromium-containing nickel-based alloys are good for use at the highest Temperatures.

Eine Nickelbasislegierung mit der Kurzbezeichnung NiCr 7030 entsprechend DIN-Werkstoffnummer 2.4658 gilt als hitzebeständig und wird für Heizleiter, Ofenbauteile und dergleichen eingesetzt. Obwohl ein derartiger Werkstoff je nach Silizium- und Aluminiumgehalt gute Oxidationsbeständigkeit besitzt, weist dieser jedoch geringe Festigkeit und niedrige Dauerstandseigenschaften sowie hohe Kriechwerte bei Einsatztemperaturen um 1000°C auf.A nickel-based alloy with the short name NiCr 7030 accordingly DIN material number 2.4658 is considered heat-resistant and is used for heating conductors, Furnace components and the like used. Although such a material depends on Silicon and aluminum content has good oxidation resistance, this shows however low strength and low creep properties as well as high Creep values at operating temperatures around 1000 ° C.

Aus der DE-C- 4411228 ist eine hochwarmfeste Nickelbasislegierung bekannt geworden. Diese hochwarmfeste, oxidationsbeständige, massiv aufgestickte, warm- und kaltverformbare Nickelbasislegierung besteht im wesentlichen aus ( in Masse-%) 0,001 bis 0,15 Kohlenstoff, 0,10 bis 3,0 Stickstoff, 25,0 bis 30,0 Chrom, mehr als 0,3 bis 1,2 Stickstoff, 0,001 bis 0,01 Bor, 0,01 bis 0,5 Yttrium, Cer, Lanthan, Hafnium und Tantal, einzeln oder in Kombination, Rest Nickel mit einem Anteil von mindestens 64,0 %. Durch den Kohlenstoffgehalt kann zwar eine Mischkristallverfestigung erreicht werden, die hauptsächlich wirksamen Elemente obiger Legierung im Hinblick auf die Hochtemperatureigenschaften sind jedoch Chrom und Stickstoff. Chrom und Stickstoff bilden Chromnitride, welche die Zeitstandsfestigkeit verbessern, wobei Stickstoff zusätzlich eine Mischkristallverfestigung erbringt. Mit der Legierung gemäß DE-C-4411228 erscheinen deutlich verbesserte Zeitstandsfestigkeits- und Warmfestigkeitswerte erreichbar.DE-C-4411228 discloses a high-temperature nickel base alloy become. This highly heat-resistant, oxidation-resistant, massively embroidered, warm and cold-formable nickel-based alloy essentially consists of (in Mass%) 0.001 to 0.15 carbon, 0.10 to 3.0 nitrogen, 25.0 to 30.0 chromium, more than 0.3 to 1.2 nitrogen, 0.001 to 0.01 boron, 0.01 to 0.5 yttrium, cerium, Lanthanum, hafnium and tantalum, individually or in combination, the rest nickel with one Proportion of at least 64.0%. Due to the carbon content one can Mixed crystal strengthening can be achieved, the main effective elements However, the above alloy in terms of high temperature properties Chromium and nitrogen. Chromium and nitrogen form chromium nitrides, which are the Improve creep rupture strength, with nitrogen additionally Solid crystal strengthening provides. With the alloy according to DE-C-4411228 significantly improved creep rupture strength and heat resistance values appear reachable.

Bei den bekannten Nickelbasiswerkstoffen, die in zunehmendem Maße höheren Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt werden, treten im Temperaturbereich zwischen 900°C und 1200°C ein sogenanntes Kriechen des Werkstoffes unter Belastung und eine Verschlechterung der Korrosionsbeständigkeit, insbesondere bei zyklischer Beanspruchung auf. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, diesen Mangel zu beseitigen und eine verbesserte Nickelbasislegierung für Hochtemperaturanwendungen zu schaffen.In the known nickel-based materials, the increasingly higher Exposed to stress occur in the temperature range between 900 ° C and 1200 ° C a so-called creep of the material under load and a Deterioration of corrosion resistance, especially with cyclical Stress on. The object of the present invention is to overcome this defect eliminate and an improved nickel base alloy for To create high temperature applications.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin begründet, daß im Werkstoff bei Temperaturen bis 1200°C ein Korngrenzengleiten durch stabile Ausscheidungen in den Korngrenzenbereichen weitgehend verhindert und eine gesteigerte Mischkristallverfestigung erreicht werden. Weiters ist die Haftfestigkeit der Chrom-Spinelle oder dergleichen Schichten an der Oberfläche erhöht, wodurch eine verbesserte Hochtemperaturkorrosionsbeständigkeit der Teile gegeben ist.This problem is solved by a creep-resistant, corrosion-resistant nickel-based alloy consisting of

The advantages achieved with the invention are essentially due to the fact that grain boundary sliding in the material at temperatures up to 1200 ° C. is largely prevented by stable precipitations in the grain boundary regions and an increased solid solution strengthening is achieved. Furthermore, the adhesive strength of the chromium spinels or similar layers on the surface is increased, which results in improved high-temperature corrosion resistance of the parts.

Nachfolgend sollen die Wirkung und Wechselwirkung der Elemente der erfindungsgemäßen Nickelbasislegierung näherbeschrieben werden.The effect and interaction of the elements of the nickel-based alloy according to the invention are described in more detail.

Die Elemente der Gruppe 4,5 und 6 ( ausgenommen Chrom), das sind im wesentlichen Titan (Ti), Zirkonium (Zr), Hafnium (Hf), Vanadin (V), Niob (Nb), Tantal (Ta), Molybdän (Mo) und Wolfram (W) wirken mischkristallverfestigend und besitzen unterschiedliche Aktivitäten bezüglich der nichtmetallischen Elemente Kohlenstoff und Stickstoff. Ta und Nb bilden beispielsweise thermisch hochstabile Nitride, hingegen ist die Stickstoffaffinität der starken Karbidbildner Mo und W gering. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß die Elemente der Gruppe 4,5 und 6 ( ausgenommen Cr) mit einer Konzentration im Werkstoff von mindestens 5, höchstens jedoch 20 Gew.-% teilweise festigkeitssteigernd im Atomgitter der Matrix eingelagert sind und teilweise Nitrid- und/oder Karbonitridausscheidungen bilden, welche die Korngrenzenfestigkeit erhöhen und somit eine Korngrenzengleiten bei Temperaturen über 1000°C erschweren. Weiters verhindern die Ausscheidungen ein Kornwachstum bei diesen Bedingungen wirkungsvoll.The elements of groups 4, 5 and 6 (except chrome) are in the essential titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), molybdenum (Mo) and tungsten (W) have a solid solution strengthening and have different activities related to non-metallic elements Carbon and nitrogen. For example, Ta and Nb form thermally highly stable Nitrides, on the other hand, is the nitrogen affinity of the strong carbide formers Mo and W low. It has been shown that the elements of groups 4, 5 and 6 (except Cr) with a concentration in the material of at least 5, but not more than 20 % By weight are embedded in the atomic lattice of the matrix, increasing strength and partially form nitride and / or carbonitride precipitates which Grain boundary strength increase and thus a grain boundary sliding Temperatures above 1000 ° C make it difficult. Eliminations also prevent grain growth is effective in these conditions.

Ein Ausmaß der Mischkristallverfestigung kann dabei durch den Kohlenstoffgehalt und den Gehalt an starken Karbidbildnern eingestellt werden. Ist beispielsweise der Kohlenstoffanteil der Legierung gering, werden die stark karbidbildenden Elemente verstärkt im Kristallgitter der Mischkristalle eingebaut und verspannen dieses.A degree of solidification can be determined by the carbon content and the content of strong carbide formers can be adjusted. For example, if Low carbon content of the alloy, the strong carbide-forming elements increasingly installed in the crystal lattice of the mixed crystals and brace it.

Ein weiterer entscheidender Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Legierung besteht darin, daß die oben angeführten Elemente, insbesondere die Elemente Mo und W, die peritektische Umwandlung der II-Phase durch Substitution von Cr-Atomen zu höheren Temperaturen verschieben und dadurch eine Stabilisierung der II-Ausscheidungen unter Anwendungsbedingungen bewirkt wird. Eine mit steigender Temperatur bei etwa 1000°C stattfindende Umwandlung
γ + π → γ + ε entsprechend γ + Cr13Ni7N4 → γ + Cr2N
in Ni-Cr-N- Legierungen,welche mit einer Volumsänderung von etwa 1 x 10-3 % verbunden ist, wird beispielsweise, wie aus Tabelle 1 ersehen werden kann, durch eine Mo-Konzentration von 4 Gew.-% auf eine Temperatur von über 1210°C angehoben. Bei zyklischer Temperaturbeaufschlagung und Materialbeanspruchung sind durch den Zusatz von zum Beispiel Mo Volumsänderungen auch bei hohen Einsatztemperaturen nicht gegeben, was eine Verbesserung der Hochtemperaturkorrosions- Beständigkeit bewirkt, weil keine Initiation zum Abplatzen von Teilen der Chrom-Spinell-Oberflächenschicht vorliegt.
Another decisive advantage of the alloy according to the invention is that the elements mentioned above, in particular the elements Mo and W, shift the peritectic conversion of the II phase to higher temperatures by substitution of Cr atoms and thereby stabilize the II precipitates under conditions of use is effected. A transformation taking place with increasing temperature at about 1000 ° C
γ + π → γ + ε corresponding to γ + Cr 13 Ni 7 N 4 → γ + Cr 2 N
in Ni-Cr-N alloys, which is associated with a change in volume of approximately 1 × 10 -3 %, for example, as can be seen from Table 1, by a Mo concentration of 4% by weight to a temperature of raised above 1210 ° C. With cyclic temperature exposure and material stress, the addition of Mo, for example, does not result in volume changes even at high operating temperatures, which improves the high-temperature corrosion resistance because there is no initiation to flake off parts of the chrome spinel surface layer.

Kohlenstoff mit einem Gehalt von größer als 0,0015 Gew.-% fördert die Nitrid- und Karbonitridbildung, entzieht jedoch bei einem Gehalt von größer als 0,6 Gew.-% der Legierung zu große Mengen an karbidbildenden Elementen, was einer Matrixverfestigung entgegenwirkt. Bevorzugt werden Kohlenstoffgehalte von 0,16 bis 0,5 Gew.-%.Carbon with a content of more than 0.0015 wt .-% promotes the nitride and Carbonitride formation, but withdraws at a content of greater than 0.6 wt .-% Alloy too large amounts of carbide-forming elements, which one Counteracts matrix consolidation. Carbon contents of 0.16 are preferred up to 0.5% by weight.

Wenn in günstiger Weise der Verhältniswert Stickstoff - zu Kohlenstoffgehalt in der Legierung im Bereich von 0,5 bis 5,5, vorzugsweise 1,0 bis 4,0, gegebenenfalls 1,0 bis 3,0, liegt, werden besonders wirkungsvolle und stabile Karbonitridausscheidungen gebildet und eine effiziente Mischkristallverfestigung erreicht.If the ratio value nitrogen - to carbon content in the Alloy in the range of 0.5 to 5.5, preferably 1.0 to 4.0, optionally 1.0 up to 3.0, are particularly effective and stable Carbonitride precipitates formed and an efficient solid solution strengthening reached.

Um eine möglichst stabile π- Phase bei hohen Verwendungstemperaturen des Werkstoffes , aber auch gleichzeitig eine wirksame Mischkristallhärtung zu erreichen, ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Nickelbasislegierung eine Summenkonzentration von Molybdän und Wolfram in Gew.-% gemäß dem Zusammenhang
Mo + W / 2 = 3,0 bis 10, vorzugsweise 4,0 bis 8,0 aufweist.
In order to achieve the most stable π phase possible at high use temperatures of the material, but also to achieve effective mixed crystal hardening, it is advantageous if the nickel-based alloy has a total concentration of molybdenum and tungsten in% by weight according to the relationship
Mo + W / 2 = 3.0 to 10, preferably 4.0 to 8.0.

Bevorzugt werden Chromgehalte in Gew.-% von 25 bis 30. Zur Minimierung der Hochtemperaturkorrosion ist es wichtig, daß der Werkstoff mindestens 0,03 Gew.-% Al und mindestens 0,4 Gew.-% Si enthält. Höhere Gehalte als 3,0 Gew.-% Al führen zu einem nachteiligen Ausscheidungsverhalten, zu Spannungsrissen und zu einer Grobkornbildung und höhere Gehalte als 3,0 % Si verschlechtern die Warmverformbarkeit der Legierung.Chromium contents in% by weight of 25 to 30 are preferred High temperature corrosion, it is important that the material at least 0.03 wt .-% Al and contains at least 0.4 wt .-% Si. Levels higher than 3.0% by weight of Al lead to disadvantageous excretion behavior, stress cracks and one Coarse grain formation and contents higher than 3.0% Si deteriorate the Hot formability of the alloy.

Die Korrosionsbeständigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen kann gesteigert werden, wenn der Werkstoff mit Elementen der Gruppe 3 des Periodensystems, das sind Scandium (Sc), Yttrium ( Y) Lanthan ( La) und Lantanide bis zu einer Konzentration von 0,15 Gew.-% legiert ist. Dabei sind Gehalte zwischen 0,01 und 0,12 Gew.-% bevorzugt.The corrosion resistance at high temperatures can be increased if the material with elements of group 3 of the periodic table, that is Scandium (Sc), yttrium (Y) lanthanum (La) and lantanide up to a concentration of 0.15% by weight is alloyed. The contents are between 0.01 and 0.12% by weight. prefers.

Im folgenden soll die Erfindung weiter erläutert werden:The invention is to be explained further below:

Nickelbasislegierungen mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung können mit Hilfe der Druckmetallurgie, bei welcher die flüssige Schmelze bis zur Erstarrung derselben unter hohem Druck gehalten wird, (z. B. DESU- Verfahren) oder pulvermetallurgisch hergestellt werden. Bei Anwendung einer PM- Technologie wird erst ein Metallpulver mit den gewünschten Gehalten an metallischen Elementen hergestellt, anschließend dieses Pulver über die Gasphase bei erhöhter Temperatur aufgestickt und heißisostatisch gepreßt.Nickel-based alloys with a composition according to the invention can with the help of pressure metallurgy, in which the liquid melt to solidification it is kept under high pressure (e.g. DESU process) or be produced by powder metallurgy. When using a PM technology first a metal powder with the desired content of metallic elements prepared, then this powder via the gas phase at elevated temperature embroidered on and hot isostatically pressed.

Eine Verformung des Guß- oder Sinterblockes erfolgt meist nach einer Homogenisierung des Materials bei 1250 °C bei einem Umformen bei 1200°C. Dabei werden Korngrößen von 35 bis 80µm und Nitridausscheidungen mit einem Durchmesser von 1 bis 5 µm im Werkstoff erstellt.The cast or sintered block is usually deformed after one Homogenization of the material at 1250 ° C with forming at 1200 ° C. Grain sizes from 35 to 80µm and nitride precipitates with a Diameters of 1 to 5 µm created in the material.

Wie früher erwähnt, wird die Umwandlungstemperatur der II-Phase durch eine Anwesenheit von Elementen der Gruppe 4,5 und 6 ( außer Cr) erhöht. In Tab. 1 sind die ermittelten Auflösungs- und Bildungstemperaturen, die Zusammensetzung der II-Phase und jene des - Mischkristalles für eine Mo-freie Ni-Cr-N- Legierung und für solche mit einem Mo- Gehalt von 4 und 8 Gew,-% sowie eine mit 4 Gew.-% W angegeben. Bei Konzentrationen von 8 Gew.-% Mo und 0,7 Gew.-% N liegen beispielsweise beide Temperaturwerte für eine π ↔ ε - Umwandlung über 1300°C.As mentioned earlier, the transition temperature of the II phase is determined by a Presence of elements of groups 4,5 and 6 (except Cr) increased. In Tab. 1 are the determined dissolution and formation temperatures, the composition of the II phase and that of the - mixed crystal for a Mo-free Ni-Cr-N alloy and for those with a Mo content of 4 and 8% by weight and one with 4% by weight W specified. At concentrations of 8% by weight Mo and 0.7% by weight N are for example, both temperature values for a π ↔ ε conversion above 1300 ° C.

Die II- Phase weist dabei einen erniedrigten Chromgehalt von 45 Gew.-% bei einer Molybdänkonzentration von 11 Gew.-% auf. Der γ- Mischkristall besitzt bei einer verminderten Nickelkonzentration erhöhte Chromwerte von 29 Gew.-% und einen Molybdängehalt von 6,5 Gew.-% .
