Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for manufacturing components with a nickel base alloy as well as to components manufactured with this method. With this solution, manufacturing the most differently shaped components in various three-dimensional geometries is possible.
- the components, thus manufactured may also represent porous structures or may comprise such porous structures.
- a substrate core consisting of pure nickel or a nickel base alloy will be provided with a surface coating at least in areas.
- the surface coating is formed from a binding agent as well as from a metal powder.
- the metal powder to be employed according to the invention includes additional alloy forming elements which are still to be referred to subsequently, in addition to a content of at least 20 wt% of nickel.
- a substrate core consisting of a nickel base alloy should include nickel of at least 20 wt%.
- the metal powder to be employed according to the invention may be a powder of the respective nickel base alloy but also a powder mixture of the respective alloy forming elements with the nickel which has been preferably subjected to high energy grinding.
- the substrate core provided with the surface coating is subsequently subjected to a stepped thermal treatment.
- the binding agent is expelled from the surface coating.
- Subsequent to expelling of binder agent sintering of metal powder is then achieved.
- sinter-fusing of a nickel substrate core and/or a solid surface coating formed of a nickel base alloy is developed.
- the content of nickel which is included in the metal powder should be smaller than the nickel content in the substrate core material.
- the thermal treatment should be carried out at temperatures of above 1000 °C and in a reducing or inert atmosphere, but preferably in a hydrogen atmosphere.
- the substrate cores such one can be employed which have already substantially the geometric form of the components to be finally manufactured such that they are allowed to be completely refrained from final shaping re-machining or merely minimum re-machining of the shape is correspondingly required.
- substrate cores can also be employed in the form of porous semi-finished products having a preferably porous structure which one may denote as foam bodies as well.
- the surface coating should be developed with a suspension/ dispersion which is made of the binding agent, metal powder and an additional solvent, as the case may be, or is made of a liquid.
- Such substrate cores having a porous structure are allowed to be fully immersed into such a suspension/ dispersion, and subsequently such a substrate core charged with suspension/ dispersion is allowed to be compressed in order to remove the suspension/ dispersion from the pores such that merely the webs remain wetted.
- the stepped thermal treatment can then be carried out.
- a binding agent which has an appropriate viscosity by means of a solvent, as the case may be, will be employed for wetting the surfaces of the porous structure of such a substrate core wherein grouting can be also carried out herein for removing excess binding agent from the pores.
- the respective metal powder is then allowed to be deposited upon the wetted surfaces, wherein a more uniform distribution of the metal powder can be achieved by vibration. Subsequent to this, the stepped thermal treatment takes place then again.
- bending can be carried out under compliance of defined minimum bending radii.
- this surface area is allowed to be brought into touching contact with at least another substrate core, wherein on that occasion the adhesive effect of the binding agent can be used advantageously. Subsequent to this, the thermal treatment takes place during which a closure by adhesive force type connection of the respective substrate cores is then formed.
- composite members can be manufactured with complex geometries, which, for example, comprise undercuts or cavities, without shaping is required to occur subsequently.
- composite members which are formed from a substrate core having a dense structure and a substrate core having a porous structure.
- the metal powders to be employed according to the invention may also include preferably at least 50 wt% of carbon, molybdenum, iron, cobalt, niobium, titanium, aluminium, boron, zircon, manganese, silicon and/or lanthanum in addition to nickel having a minimum content of 20 wt%.
- the properties of the components manufactured according to the invention can also be changed in that the surface coating will be developed in a different form on defined surface areas of substrate cores.
- This relates to the respective thickness of the surface coating which can also be carried out by means of a repeated application in a different form, on the one hand, wherein a locally different consistency of the surface coating with different contents of metal powder, compositions of metal powder and granularity of metal powder can also be provided, on the other hand.
- the graduated alloy compositions can also be developed in the joining area which has been formed by means of the closure by adhesive force type connections.
- Components manufactured according to the invention have a higher ductility, creep resistance and strength compared with components which have been manufactured from nickel only, wherein this circumstance also applies in comparison with nickel aluminide.
- the tendency of oxidation compared with nickel components can be reduced as well.
- the components achieve a thermal stability of up to 1000 ° C, wherein components manufactured according to the invention with porous structures, in particular, present such extended possibilities of application themselves, which e. g. exclude the use of foams of nickel aluminide due to the brittleness thereof.
- the components manufactured according to the invention in particular, can be employed at higher dynamic loads.
- a substrate core made of nickel and having the size of 300 mm * 150 mm * 1.9 mm, and having a porosity of 94 % has been immersed in an aqueous 1% solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone with a volume of 50 ml. Subsequently, pressing out on an absorbent pad has been carried out to remove the binding agent from the cavities of the pores such that merely the webs of the porous structure have been wetted.
- the porous substrate core wetted with the binding agent has been fixed in a vibration device and has been strewed with metal powder.
- a uniform distribution of the metal powder on the surfaces of the substrate core wetted with the binding agent could be achieved, wherein the open porosity of the structure has been maintained.
- the metal powder comprised a composition of 0.1 wt% of carbon, 22.4 wt% of chromium, 10.0 wt% of molybdenum, 4.8 wt% of iron, 0.3 wt% of cobalt, 3.8 wt% of niobium and 58.6 wt% of nickel.
- Such a metal powder is commercially available under the trade name of "Inconel 625".
- the substrate core surface coated with the metal powder and binding agent has been rolled to a cylinder shaped body. On that occasion, the adhesion of the metal powder has been ensured by means of the binding agent.
- stepped thermal treatment has been carried out wherein it has been worked in a first step inside a drying oven in a water atmosphere.
- the temperature has been increased, while a heating rate of 5 K/min was maintained.
- Expelling the binding agent starts at around 300° C and has been completed at 600 ° C.
- a detention time of around 30 min should be adhered in order to ensure a complete release from the binding agent.
- the component thus manufactured consisted of a nickel base alloy wherein the composition thereof at the surface is at least approximately equivalent to the composition of the employed metal powder.
- the porosity is equal to 91 %.
- the component has been oxidation-resistant at temperatures of up to 1000 ° C, comprised a high strength, creep resistance and toughness as well. After sintering, a limited deformability of the porous foam body structure was still possible considering particular minimum bending radii.
- a corrugated sheet of pure nickel with the size of 200 mm * 200 mm * 0.15 mm has been employed as a substrate core.
- the suspension manufactured from the metal powder and binding agent after intensive stirring has been atomized by means of compressed air, and sprayed upon the substrate core from both sides.
- the surface coating comprised a thickness of 150 ⁇ m. After drying over a time period of 1 min, approximately, the layer comprised a sufficiently great green strength such that the stepped thermal treatment could be carried out analogous to the embodiment 1.
- the final component comprised a nickel base alloy, wherein the alloy composition thereof at the surface was approximately equivalent to the alloy composition of the used metal powder. In the air, it was oxidation-resistant at temperatures up to 1000 ° C. The high strength, creep resistance and toughness were increased in comparison with the substrate core made of pure nickel.
