Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the production of ⁇ -TiAl base alloys by means of vacuum arc melting (VAR), which solidify completely or at least partially primarily via the ⁇ -phase.
  • VAR vacuum arc melting
  • Such target alloys will hereinafter be referred to as ⁇ - ⁇ -TiAl base alloy.
  • the technical field of the present invention is the melt metallurgical production of ⁇ - ⁇ -TiAl alloys by means of vacuum arc melting (VAR).
  • VAR vacuum arc melting
  • the DE 195 81 384 T1 describes intermetallic TiAl compounds and processes for their preparation, wherein the alloy by heat treatment of an alloy having a Ti concentration of 42 to 48 atom%, an Al concentration of 44 to 47 atom%, a Nb concentration of 6 to 10 at.% And a Cr concentration of 1 to 3 at.% At a temperature in the range of 1300 to 1400 ° C.
  • the DE 196 31 583 A1 discloses a method for producing an alloy TiAl-Nb product in which an alloy electrode is first prepared from the alloy components. The formation of the alloy electrode is carried out by pressing and / or sintering the alloy components to the electrode. The latter is melted off by an induction coil.
  • a heat-resistant TiAl based alloy is known in which specific amounts of V and Cr are incorporated into a Ti-Al intermetallic compound for the purpose of improving heat resistance and ductility.
  • a new generation of ⁇ -TiAl high performance materials has a structural design different from conventional TiAl alloys.
  • ⁇ -stabilizing elements such as Cr, Cu, Hf, Mn, Mo, Nb, V, Ta and Zr is set a primary solidification path over the ⁇ -Ti phase. This results in very fine microstructure, in addition to lamellar ⁇ 2 / ⁇ colonies also contain globular ⁇ grains and globular ⁇ grains, sometimes including globular ⁇ 2 grains.
  • a temperature field of melting temperature (about 1570 ° C.) at the bottom of the electrode extends to near room temperature at the electrode suspension through the material. Not far from the melt front, the critical temperature interval between 1000 and 1200 ° C is reached.
  • the relatively poor ductility of the intermetallic material then leads in this zone to the fact that the stresses formed there discharge in the form of cracks, which in turn lead to the described chipping of unmelted pieces from the electrode.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method for producing a ⁇ -phase solidified ⁇ -TiAl base alloy - hereinafter referred to as ⁇ - ⁇ -TiAl base alloy - specify that Avoiding the cracking problem leads to a reliable production of such a target alloy.
  • the successive remelting steps during the vacuum arc melting are thus subdivided into the melting of a primary alloy in the first remelting steps, wherein a base melted electrode is produced from a conventional ⁇ -TiAl primary alloy, and the melting of the target alloy in the form of the desired ⁇ - ⁇ -TiAl-based alloy in the last remelting step.
  • the primary alloy has a deficiency of titanium and / or a deficiency of ⁇ -stabilizing elements such as Nb, Mo, Cr, Mn, V, and Ta.
  • the alloy is a defined amount of titanium and / or ⁇ in the preparation of the pressed base melt electrode deprived of stabilizing elements, so that an aluminum content of the primary alloy preferably between 45 at .-% (particularly preferably 45.5 at .-%) and 50 at .-% sets.
  • the contents of aluminum and ⁇ -stabilizing elements are chosen so that the solidification path of the primary alloy is at least partially via the peritectic conversion. It is thus set a structure analogous to conventional TiAl alloys, which can be processed easily in the VAR oven.
  • the target alloy is readjusted by the addition of the materials originally removed from the press electrode.
  • these materials are welded as cladding to form a composite electrode firmly on the outer surface of the Abschmelzelektrode to safely exclude a solid state drop into the molten bath. It is also possible to accomplish this by a sheath insert of the deficient alloy content on the inside of the Umschmelzkokille the VAR furnace.
