Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is thin products made of ⁇ or quasi- ⁇ titanium alloys, as well as the manufacture by forging of said thin products.
  • the design and development context of the presently claimed invention has been that of the manufacture of monoblock bladed disks (DAM) with linear friction welding blades.
  • Said monobloc bladed discs with reference to their mechanical properties and in particular their resistance to vibratory fatigue, are generally made of a titanium ⁇ or quasi- ⁇ alloy. They are obtained, to date, by machining, in a massive crude.
  • blades made of titanium alloys ⁇ or almost ⁇ that perform well (having good metallurgical health and good mechanical properties) have been obtained by forging (FIG. that is to say with economy of material, compared to the machining technique, conventionally implemented). Said blades also have longer lifetimes than blades obtained by machining; they can also be obtained with optimized geometries, to improve the aerodynamics, so the performance of the engine in which they are likely to intervene.
  • EP-A-0 852 164 discloses a method for producing titanium alloy turbine blades which comprises a forging step followed by localized forced cooling of the leading edges of the tip portions of said blades.
  • the forging is carried out at a temperature of 10 ° C. or more below the temperature of ⁇ -transus.
  • US-A-4,854,977 describes a large smithing process, particularly suitable for obtaining compressor disks for aircraft propulsion systems.
  • the forging operation used comprises roughing forging and final forging, advantageously started in ⁇ and finished in ⁇ - ⁇ .
  • the invention has therefore been conceived and developed, in a non-obvious manner, in the context of the manufacture of monobloc bladed disks (DAM).
  • DAM monobloc bladed disks
  • it is not limited to this context; it is also expressed, naturally, in more or less neighboring contexts, such as that of the manufacture of monoblock bladed rings (ANAM), those of the repair of said monoblock bladed discs (DAM) and bladed monoblock rings (ANAM), and more generally that of the manufacture of thin titanium products ⁇ or almost ⁇ .
  • Said products constitute the first object of the present invention.
  • the controlled forging process that leads to said products constitutes the second object.
  • the present invention therefore relates to manufactured products, not axisymmetric (the son are thus excluded), a thickness of less than 10 mm (these 10 mm specify the concepts of "thin", “thin products” , used in the present text), in titanium alloys substantially ⁇ , the core microstructure consists of whole grains having a slenderness ratio greater than 4 and an equivalent diameter of between 10 and 300 microns.
  • Titanium alloys ⁇ or almost ⁇ are familiar to the skilled person. They have a compact hexagonal structure. They are perfectly defined, especially in American Handbooks (US): ASMH (AMERICAN SOCIETY MATERIAL HANDBOOK) and MILH (MILITARY HANDBOOK). Their use is, to date, confined to the manufacture of massive forgings or thick layers.
  • the manufactured products of the invention are thin products that carry the heredity of their manufacturing process, based on one or more forging operations.
  • Their microstructure at heart is original.
  • the grains of said core microstructure have been wrought.
  • slenderness ratio greater than 4; said slenderness ratio being conventionally defined as the ratio of the largest dimension to the smallest dimension in the axial section plane.
  • They have an equivalent diameter of between 10 and 300 microns.
  • the manufactured products of the invention are new products. These new products are likely to be obtained by forging. As explained above, there was a real prejudice to seek thin structures by forging thicker coarse-grained structures and, quite surprisingly, such thin structures have been found to have very interesting characteristics.
  • the manufactured products of the invention advantageously consist of turbine engine compressor blades.
  • the invention is however not limited to this context.
  • the products in question may also consist of propellers, including submarines, fan blades or mixers (capable of intervening in environments justifying the constitution of said blades ⁇ or quasi ⁇ titanium alloys). This list can not be exhaustive.
  • the manufactured products of the invention are Ti 17 alloy.
  • This alloy familiar to the skilled person, is used to date to make massive parts, including compressor discs. It has high flow constraints and is also known to be difficult to forge.
  • the product to be forged is conventionally enamelled.
  • Said product is advantageously obtained by transformation of an enamelled billet. It generally consists of a half-product, obtained by spinning or forging a starting material, with a larger equivalent diameter (with a greater thickness). It may especially be a bar (having, for example, a diameter of 25 mm), obtained by spinning a billet.
  • titanium alloys ⁇ or close ⁇ exist mainly in the form of such billets (intended for the manufacture of compression discs by machining).
  • This enamelled product generally enamelled half product, of a diameter (equivalent) less than 100 mm, is, according to the invention, converted by forging into a manufactured product with a thickness of less than 10 mm.
  • the reduction rate at each hot is greater than or equal to (advantageously greater than) 2 and the forging speeds (or crushing speeds) are between 1 and 1.10 -5 s -1 .
  • the forging operation can be quite limited to the two hot, as specified above (the second of said two hot is imperatively a hot super-transus It may include an additional hot, sub or super transus ⁇ , before the Last (third) hot in super transus ⁇ It is not totally excluded that it includes more than three hot (the last of these hot being imperatively a hot super transus ⁇ ) but the interest to multiply the number of hot is not obvious.
  • the forging operation therefore generally includes two or three hot, implemented under the conditions specified above.
  • the forged product is optionally re-enamelled between two successive hot.
  • the forging die is maintained at a temperature of between 100 and 700 ° C.
  • the forging operation is conventionally followed by quenching (usually immediately followed by such quenching).
  • quenching can in particular be carried out under pulsed air, in calm air, in an oil bath or on a matrix. It is advantageously used under conditions that induce a cooling rate that is less than or equal to that induced by quenching in an oil bath.
  • the tempered product of the forged product is advantageously used at a temperature of between 620 and 750 ° C. for 3 to 5 hours. Its implementation conditions are optimized according to the characteristics sought for the finished product. It is ensured to perform said income under an inert atmosphere (especially vacuum or argon) if the enameling is cracked or flaking.
  • Example Making a blade made of Ti 17 by forging.
