Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cobalt alloy according to the preamble of the independent claim of this category and to a method for producing such a cobalt alloy.
  • Cobalt alloys or cobalt-based alloys, commonly associated with the so-called superalloys, are now commonly used for high temperature applications, and particularly in corrosive environments. They are characterized by a high (warm) strength and also offer a high creep resistance and a good resistance to galling, abrasion and Reibverschleiss in general.
  • cobalt-based alloys are also used for parts of gas turbines that may typically be exposed to temperatures of up to over 1000 ° C under severe oxidizing conditions during operation.
  • One example is the turbine blades, especially those in the hottest part of the turbine.
  • cobalt alloys as a welding or coating material both for the production but also for the repair of turbine blades.
  • cobalt-based alloys contain the following components:
  • nickel is often added, mainly to stabilize the austenitic structure. This refers to the structure that corresponds to the cubic face-centered (fcc: face centered cubic) structure of the Austentit.
  • chromium is added especially for the purpose of improving the corrosion resistance. It is also known to add carbon to the alloy which serves to form carbides which increase strength, hardness and wear resistance.
  • other metals such as tungsten, tantalum, hafnium, molybdenum or zirconium are added to form carbides.
  • a directionally solidified cobalt-based alloy in which tantalum carbides are precipitated in a fibrous structure.
  • the tantalum carbides are incorporated as a directed fibrous phase, that is, the individual tantalum carbides are each formed as a longitudinally extended fiber, these fibers are aligned substantially parallel to each other along a preferred direction.
  • a cobalt alloy consisting of at least 30 weight percent cobalt, 0 to 20 weight percent nickel, 5 to 30 weight percent chromium, 0.4 to 2.5 weight percent carbon and at least one carbide-forming metal that forms carbides with the carbon, wherein the atomic ratio in the alloy the carbide-forming metal to which carbon is at least 0.8, said alloy optionally further comprising one or more of molybdenum, tungsten, aluminum, titanium, niobium, iron, silicon, manganese, vanadium, boron, zirconium and impurities.
  • the carbides are present as stable carbides in the form of a finely divided phase without preferential direction in the alloy.
  • this cobalt alloy has a significantly higher high-temperature stability, in particular with regard to the carbides.
  • cobalt-base alloys which are characterized by directional solidification, in which the carbides are precipitated in a directional fiber structure
  • the cobalt alloy according to the invention can be described as an equiaxial alloy.
  • the individual carbides have no significant preferred direction, so they are not fibrous for example, but rather comparable grains.
  • These carbides are fine and distributed substantially uniformly over the cobalt matrix, that is, the carbides form a finely divided phase.
  • a preferred direction as in the directionally solidified cobalt alloys does not exist in the inventive cobalt alloy.
  • the components designated as optional, which may be part of the cobalt alloy according to the invention, are elements which are usually used as additives in superalloys, in particular in cobalt-base alloys.
  • the carbides are at least predominantly of the MC type.
  • the atomic ratio of metal to carbon in the respective carbide is one to one, so each carbon atom is connected to exactly one metal atom to form a carbide.
  • a method for producing such a cobalt alloy is further proposed in which the components of the alloy are transferred by heat input into a melt and then to produce the finely divided carbides a cooling at a cooling rate of at least one degree per second, in particular at least ten degrees per second. This rapid cooling produces the finely divided carbide phase.
  • the desired structure of the carbide phase can be realized, namely the fine distribution of the carbides and the avoidance of a preferred direction as present in the directionally solidified alloys is.
  • the invention proposes a cobalt alloy which contains carbides and which is characterized in particular in that the carbides are in the form of a finely divided phase without preferential direction in the alloy.
  • the carbides do not form fibers aligned along a preferential direction, as in the directionally solidified cobalt alloys, but the individual carbides are formed like grains, their excretion is equiaxial and they are finely dispersed the cobalt matrix.
  • the atomic ratio of the metal M to carbon C in the carbide is one to one.
  • the alloy according to the invention consists of at least 30% by weight (wt.%) Of cobalt (Co) serving as the base material and balancing material of the alloy, zero to 20% by weight nickel (Ni), 5 to 30% by weight chromium (Cr ), 0.4 to 2.5 wt.% Carbon (C) and at least one carbide-forming metal that forms carbides with the carbon.
  • the atomic ratio of the carbide-forming metal or the carbide-forming metals M and the carbon C is at least 0.8, that is, of the atomic ratio per carbon atom C at least 0.8 metal atom M is present. This ensures, among other things, that predominantly MC type carbides are eliminated.
  • the alloy may further include one or more of the following elements commonly used in cobalt base alloys: molybdenum, tungsten, aluminum, titanium, niobium, iron, silicon, manganese, vanadium, boron, zirconium, and impurities
  • At least the predominant part of the carbides is in each case smaller than five micrometers, preferably smaller or approximately equal to one micrometer.
  • the carbide-forming metal comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of tantalum (Ta), hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr) and niobium (Nb). Tantalum is particularly preferred.
  • Ta tantalum
  • Hf hafnium
  • Zr zirconium
  • Nb niobium
  • Tantalum is particularly preferred.
  • the fact that some elements, such as zirconium or niobium, are mentioned both as carbide formers and as optional components of the alloy, is to be understood to include a first part that serves as a carbide former and a second part that does not form carbides, but rather a carbide can fulfill other function in the alloy.
  • tantalum as the carbide-forming metal
  • the tantalum it being possible for the tantalum to be replaced completely or partially and at about the atomic ratio one to one by hafnium and / or zirconium.
  • "Atomic ratio one to one" means that a number of tantalum atoms by an equal number of hafnium atoms or an equal number of zirconium atoms, or a the same number of a mixture of hafnium and zirconium atoms can be replaced.
  • the components of the alloy are transferred into a melt by introduction of heat and then rapid cooling takes place to produce the finely divided carbides with a cooling rate of at least one degree per second, in particular at least ten degrees per second.
  • the heat input takes place by laser welding, because in this process the required cooling rate is relatively easy to implement.
  • the cobalt alloy according to the invention and the method according to the invention can be used in particular for welding or coating, in particular by means of laser welding.
  • Fig. 1 shows an enlarged view of a layer of the embodiment of an inventive alloy.
  • the lighter spots or points form the carbide phase, which in the Republicsgemäss black or darker matrix is embedded.
  • the individual carbides are formed like grains, their excretion takes place equiaxially, ie without preferential direction, and they are finely and evenly distributed over the cobalt matrix.
  • the majority of the carbides have an extension that is less than or equal to one micrometer.
  • the in Fig. 1 Alloy held at 1000 ° C for a thousand hours.
  • Fig. 1 shows the cobalt alloy after this annealing treatment.
  • the cobalt alloy according to the invention is suitable both as a welding material, for example for the production of welds or for repairing workpieces or for build-up welding, for example for the production of components, as well as a coating material, for example to provide a protective layer against (hot) corrosion or corrosion on a substrate Apply wear.
  • the cobalt alloy according to the invention or the process according to the invention for producing or repairing parts of a gas turbine is particularly suitable for producing and repairing turbine blades.
