Description

    BACKGROUND
  • Aluminum alloys are important in many industries. Glassy Al-based alloys and their devitrified derivatives are currently being considered for applications in the aerospace industry. These alloys involve the addition of rare earth and transition metal elements. These alloys have high strength and, when processed appropriately, have high ductility.
  • One of the key requirements for high ductility is control of the second phase size during thermomechanical processing; in this case, forging extruded billet into various forged shapes.
  • When pure Al or Al-based alloys are forged, the alloys are heated, such as to 700 °F to 800 °F (370°C to 425°C), and are forged at high press speeds. There is normally no concern for adiabatic heating because the alloys are usually heat-treatable. In a heat treatment, they are solutionized, quenched and aged to a desired temper after forging.
  • Al-based alloys such as Al-Y-Ni-Co alloys are devitrified glass-forming aluminum alloys that derive their strength from a nanometer-sized grain structure and nanometer-sized intermetallic second phase or phases. Examples of such alloys are disclosed in co-owned U.S. Patents No, 6,974,510 and 7,413,621 .
  • However, devitrified derivatives of glassy aluminum alloys have nanocrystalline microstructures that have mechanical properties that cannot be obtained when starting out with powder in the crystalline state. Standard forging practices will destroy the nanocrystalline microstructure and the important properties are lost.
    • SUMMARY
  • The invention involves the forging of extruded billet, or forging mults, in a direction whose axis is parallel to the axis of extrusion that formed the alloy billet. The alloy itself is a devitrified derivative of glassy aluminum alloys such as those described in the above identified patents.
  • Of particular use are aluminum based alloys containing from 3 to 18.5 atomic percent nickel and 3 to 14.0 atomic percent yttrium.
  • The alloy billet is textured and has an axis of extrusion in which the microstructure is aligned. Forging in this direction changes the microstructure to give maximum strength, and also causes the plate phases within the subject alloys to become randomly oriented, resulting in improved ductility.
  • The present invention provides a method of forging devitrified aluminum alloys, comprising the steps of: selecting a devitrified aluminum alloy billet having an axis of extrusion; placing the billet in a plane strain forging die so the axis of extrusion is parallel to the direction of forging; forging the billet in the plane strain forging die to elongate the billet in the horizontal direction; removing the billet and placing it in a blocker die or series of blocker dies having a desired shape such that the original axis of extrusion is aligned with the axis of the forging die; and forging the billet in the product forging final die to produce a forged billet having a desired shape.
  • In another aspect the present invention provides a forged devitrified aluminum alloy having a desired shape, comprising: a devitrified aluminum alloy billet having an axis of extrusion; the alloy having been forged in a plane strain forging die so the axis of extrusion is parallel to the direction of forging; the billet having been elongated in the horizontal direction; and the billet further having been forged in a product forming forging die having a desired shape such that the original axis of extrusion is aligned with the axis of the forging die resulting in the desired shape.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • An alloy billet 11 that, for example, is 4 inches (10cm) in diameter and 36 inches (99cm) tall, is potted in a two inch diameter cylinder 13 of aluminum alloy 6061 or other such metals, as shown in Fig. 1. Billet 11 may be formed from any devitrified aluminum alloy, such as an aluminum based alloy containing from 3 to 18.5 atomic percent nickel and 3 to 14.0 atomic percent yttrium.
  • Cylinder 13 with billet 11 is then put in a steel plane strain die 15 in Figs. 2 and 3, where die 15 is wider than cylinder 13. Billet 11 is aligned so that its extrusion axis 17 will be parallel to the axis of forging in plane strain forge die 15 and is just below the lip 15a of die 15, as seen in Fig. 4.
  • In Fig. 5, punch 19 is inserted into die 15 and plane strain forges billet 11 into the shape shown in Fig. 6. In this process, a maximum amount of work is placed in the direction of extrusion, axis 17. At the same time, billet 11 is elongated in the horizontal direction so as to prepare billet 11 for further processing to form a useful part such as an airfoil.
  • Fig. 7 shows the elongated billet 11 after it is removed from die 15. Billet 11 is then placed in a forging die 21, shown in Fig. 8 for forming an airfoil. Such forging dies could include blocker dies and a final forging die. Again, the forging is done in the direction of extrusion axis 17. Airfoil 23 is the result of forging in die 21.
  • During extrusion to form billet 11, the plate phases (Al23Ni6Y4 and Al19Ni5Y3) that give the alloy its strength, become aligned with the extrusion direction 17. This leads to low ductility in the extrusion direction and even lower ductility in the transverse direction. When forged parallel to the direction of extrusion, axis 17, the plate phases become randomly oriented and smaller in size. This leads to more uniform flow during plastic deformation, resulting in improved ductility.
  • To provide for the retention of the nano-scale microstructure during forging, the temperature of the forged product must be controlled. This is accomplished through careful control of the temperature of the dies and the billet. The temperature of the dies typically ranges from 500 °F to about 800 °F (260 °C to 426.7 °C). For more control, this temperature is maintained from about 675 °F to about 750 °F (357.2 °C to 398.9 °C) during forging the billet. The billet temperature is also controlled to be at a temperature from about 500 °F to about 800 °F (260 °C to 426.7 °C). Again, more control will use a temperature range from about 700 °F to about 750 °F (371.1 °C to 398.9 °C) during forging the billet. During forging, adiabatic heating is controlled by controlling the press speed. Good results have been attained at a press speed of from about 0.001 inches per second to 0.1 inches per second (0.0025 to 0.25 cm per second).
  • Once the product has been formed, normal finish operations are performed. In the airfoil of Fig. 9, the forging path resulted in high yield strength and high ductility perpendicular to the chord direction for a blade. This is important for bird strike capability.
  • While the invention has been described with reference to an exemplary embodiment(s), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the claims. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment(s) disclosed, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.
