Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of materials technology. It relates to a nickel-base superalloy, in particular for the production of single-crystal components (SX alloy) or components with directionally solidified structure (DS alloy), such as blades for gas turbines, which is characterized by an improved degradation behavior.
  • SX alloy single-crystal components
  • DS alloy directionally solidified structure
  • Nickel-based superalloys are known. Single crystal components of these alloys have a very good material strength at high temperatures. As a result, z. B. the inlet temperature of gas turbines are increased, whereby the efficiency of the gas turbine increases.
  • Nickel-based superalloys for single-crystal components such as those made from US 4,643,782 .
  • EP 0 208 645 and US 5,270,123 mixed-crystal-hardening alloying elements, for example Re, W, Mo, Co, Cr, and ⁇ -phase-forming elements, for example Al, Ta, and Ti, are contained.
  • the content of high-melting alloying elements (W, Mo, Re) in the basic matrix ( austenitic ⁇ phase) increases continuously with the increase of the stress temperature of the alloy.
  • the alloys disclosed in the above references have high creep strength, good LCF (low duty cycle fatigue) and HCF (high cycle fatigue) properties, and high oxidation resistance.
  • the alloy CMSX-4 US 4,643,782 when used experimentally in a gas turbine at a temperature above 1000 ° C, a strong coarsening of the ⁇ '-phase, which is associated with an increase in the creeping speed of the alloy adversely.
  • grain boundaries are particularly detrimental to the high temperature properties of the single crystal components. While small-angle grain boundaries are comparatively small in small components, they are highly relevant in terms of castability, mechanical properties, and high temperature oxidation behavior for large SX or DS devices.
  • Grain boundaries are areas of high local disorder of the crystal lattice, because neighboring grains collide in these areas and thus there is a certain disorientation between the crystal lattices.
  • the aim of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the invention is based on the object to develop a nickel-based superalloy of the type described above, which is characterized by an improved degradation behavior, ie z. B. subsequent to a long-term mechanical stress at high temperatures subsequently at room temperature the highest possible (residual) strength / hardness is present.
  • this alloy has the very good properties (good castability, good oxidation resistance at high temperatures, good creep strength) of EP 1 359 231 B1 has known alloy, but which additionally has no drop in the yield strength at room temperature after a previous high temperature creep, so has a good degradation behavior.
  • Nickel-based superalloys having the chemical composition given in Table 1 were investigated (in% by weight): Table 1: Chemical composition of the investigated alloys comparative alloy (VL) Inventive alloy (L) Ni rest rest Cr 8th 8th Co 5 5 Not a word 2 2 W 8th 8th Ta 6 6 al 5 5 Ti 1.4 1.4 Pt - 0.5 Nb - 0.2 Si 0.1 0.1 B 0008 0008 C 12:02 12:02 Hf 0.1 0.1
  • Alloy L is a nickel base superalloy for single crystal components whose composition falls within the scope of the present invention and which is a particularly preferred embodiment.
  • the comparative alloy VL is known from the prior art ( EP 1 359 231 B1 ) known. It differs from the alloy according to the invention in that it is not alloyed with Pt and Nb.
  • Platinum and niobium are elements which according to the present invention in controlled small amounts (Pt: 0.1-0.6, preferably 0.5 wt .-%, Nb: 0.1-0.5, preferably 0.2 wt .-%) to the EP 1 359 231 B1 known alloy (with a corresponding reduction of the residual amount of Ni) are added. These two elements affect the size of the lattice mismatch between the ⁇ 'and ⁇ phases, which in turn is responsible for the morphological changes in the phases and the residual strength of the material after high temperature creep of nickel-based single crystal superalloys responsible for.
  • micro-alloying with Pt and Nb within the specified limits means that at high temperatures, the lattice offset between ⁇ 'and ⁇ phases is approximately zero. This causes a lower tendency of the ⁇ '-phase for raft formation or even a suppression of this tendency, ie the ⁇ '-phase remains spherical.
  • Fig. 1a shows the structure of the comparative alloy VL
  • Fig. 2a the structure of the inventive alloy L in the initial state.
  • the ⁇ '-phase is uniformly distributed in both samples in the matrix ( ⁇ -phase) and has an approximately spherical shape.
  • Fig. 1 Federation Fig. 2b show the structure for the comparative alloy ( Fig. 1 b) and the alloy according to the invention ( Fig. 2b ) after cold deformation (cold rolling) and subsequent aging treatment at high temperatures with the following parameters: 1050 ° C / 204 h.
  • Fig. 3 is the dependence of the Vickers hardness at room temperature on the respective microstructure state of the comparative alloy VL and the inventive alloy L according to the FIGS. 1a) and 1b ) or 2a) and 2b) applied.
  • On the left is the hardness HV2 of the initial state and on the right the hardness HV2 after the treatment of the material under degrading conditions (cold rolling and annealing at 1050 ° C / 204 h).
  • the hardness HV2 in the alloy according to the invention is about 10% better than in the case of the comparative alloy.
  • the hardness HV2 measured at room temperature is expected to be lower in the case of both alloys compared to the respective initial state, but still more than 5% higher in the alloy L according to the invention than in the comparative alloy VL.
