Definitions
- Molybdenum (Mo) has excellent high temperature strength which makes it attractive for structural applications at elevated temperatures.
- the first oxidation product that forms is molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3 ).
- MoO 3 has a high vapor pressure and sublimes at substantial rates above 1000°F (538°C), resulting in accelerated metal loss from the alloy.
- Mo and Mo-based alloys are therefore largely limited to use in non-oxidizing environments at elevated temperatures without some form of externally applied oxidation protective coating.
- Mo-Si-B alloys formed from some powder precursors require handling in the proper environment and/or thermal treatments to achieve the desired microstructure/phase assembly and/or interstitial element levels. This thermal processing can result in partial sintering of the material, forming pieces that are more difficult to process into a final product than a fine Mo-Si-B alloy powder.
- EP 2799163 discloses a Mo-Si-B based alloy powder for use in a heat-resistant material, a metal-material raw material powder using the Mo-Si-B based alloy powder and a method of manufacturing the Mo-Si-B based alloy powder.
- Cabouro et al., Powder Technology, 2011, 526 discloses formation of Mo/Si MA-agglomerates prepared using a high-energy planetary ball-mill.
- US 2009/011266 relates to composite materials including molybdenum, molybdenum silicides, and molybdenum silicon boride.
- US 2003/133824 discloses a ferritic steel and methods of producing it.
- the present invention provides a method of forming Mo-Si-B powder according to claim 1.
- the method of forming Mo-Si-B alloy powder includes preparing a mixture that includes Mo powder, Si 3 N 4 powder and BN powder, adding a polymer binder and liquid to the mixture to form a slurry, spray drying the slurry to form a spray dried powder containing Mo powder, Si 3 N 4 powder and BN powder particles, and thermally treating the spray dried powder to remove the binder, alloy the powders of the spray dried powder, and remove carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms, wherein thermally treating the spray dried powder forms at least some partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces.
- the partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces are then milled in a milling container having contact surfaces composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material to break down the pieces, and the milled Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces are sieved to reclaim the Mo-Si-B alloy powder.
- Milling the partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces comprises operation of a milling media composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material that breaks down the pieces in the milling container.
- An aspect of the present disclosure not forming part of the invention relates to a milling assembly for milling partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces to form Mo-Si-B alloy powder includes a milling container configured to receive the partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces.
- the milling container has contact surfaces being composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material.
- a milling media is provided inside or complementary to the milling container, the milling media having contact surfaces that are composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material and configured to break down the partially sintered Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces to form the Mo-Si-B alloy powder.
- Mo-Si-B alloys are attractive candidates for next generation high temperature structural materials in gas turbine engines.
- the alloys of interest include ⁇ -Mo solid solutions and intermetallic phases such as Mo 5 SiB 2 , Mo 5 Si 3 , Mo 3 Si, Mo 2 B and others depending on alloying elements added to increase high temperature mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and other properties.
- An example fabrication process in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure for bulk components utilizes powder precursor materials.
- a manufacturing process 10 for forming Mo-Si-B alloy powder and a component formed of Mo-Si-B alloy powder according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the starting powders may include Mo powder, Si 3 N 4 powder, BN powder, and other alloying elements (step 12).
- the powders may be mixed with a binder, such as an organic binder, and a suitable liquid to form a slurry (step 14).
- suitable liquids include, without limitation, acetone, water, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol and mixtures thereof.
- binders are polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly ethyl methacrylate (PEMA), and hydroxypropylcellulose.
- the slurry is be spray dried to form spray dried powder containing Mo powder, Si 3 N 4 powder, BN powder and other alloy powder (step 16).
- the powder is then thermally treated in an appropriately controlled environment (step 18), with the times and temperatures of the thermal treatment being controlled so that the binder is removed, and so that the constituent powders are alloyed to form Mo-Si-B alloy powder and undesirable atoms such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are removed.
- steps 18 the times and temperatures of the thermal treatment being controlled so that the binder is removed, and so that the constituent powders are alloyed to form Mo-Si-B alloy powder and undesirable atoms such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are removed.
- various thermal treatments can be employed without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
- thermal treatments as discussed in the following document can be used: " Fabrication, strength and oxidation of molybdenum-silicon-boron alloys from reaction synthesis", Middlemas, Michael Robert (2009) (Doctoral dissertation), retrieved from Georgia Tech University SMARTech libary, https://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/28253 .
- the Mo-Si-B powder sinters partially together. These partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces need to be separated back into a relatively fine powder in order to be used for certain applications, such as being formed into a billet for producing a Mo-Si-B component, for example.
- the partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces In order to transform the partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces into powder, it is necessary to first pulverize large partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces to form smaller pieces of partially sintered alloy powder Alternatively, in some situations, not forming part of the invention, the partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces may be sufficiently small that this step is not needed, or later processing steps may not require the pieces to be particularly small.
- an alumina mortar and pestle may be used, for example, possibly in an inert atmosphere in some embodiments.
- the pieces may be pulverized into smaller pieces for further processing that are about 0.20 to about 0.62 inch (5.1 to 15.8 mm) in diameter, although other size ranges may be used in other embodiments.
- the pieces may be stored in a container under an inert atmosphere in some embodiments, such as an argon atmosphere in one particular example.
- the pieces are milled (step 24).
- the milling process may be performed in a number of different ways and with different types of equipment, and generally involves a milling container in which the partially sintered pieces are placed and milled, either with a milling media or by self-milling.
- the milling container and any milling media that is employed are either composed of Mo-based material or have contact surfaces that are lined and/or coated with Mo-based material. Examples of milling processes that may be employed include jar milling, mortar grinding, planetary ball milling, and attritor milling, among others.
- Jar milling (e.g., where the milling container is a jar composed of a Mo-based material or a jar having inner contact surfaces lined and/or coated with Mo-based material) is an example of a suitable milling process in which jars are rotated on automated rollers and the partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces self-mill with no other milling media present.
- milling media is included inside or complementary to the milling container to break down the partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces.
- contact surfaces of the milling container and any milling media By forming the contact surfaces of the milling container and any milling media out of Mo-based material or lining and/or coating the contact surfaces of the milling container and any milling media with Mo-based material, levels of contamination in the Mo-Si-B powder after milling can be minimized.
- contamination of Mo-Si-B powder produced as described herein can be maintained below 0.08wt/% carbon and 0.06wt/% oxygen, or more particularly below 0.006wt% carbon and 0.01wt% oxygen, and even more particularly below 0.003wt% carbon and 0.004wt% oxygen, for example.
- the term "contact surfaces” as used herein refers to surfaces of the milling container and milling media that come into contact with the pieces being milled during a milling operation (and therefore would have the potential to introduce contamination to the pieces being milled).
- milling may be periodically interrupted and the powder sieved to reclaim fine powder from larger pieces (step 26).
- Sieving with a coarse sieve such as a 16 mesh sieve for example (although other sizes may be used), may separate milled Mo-Si-B alloy powder pieces over a threshold size (for example, particles over 0.05 inch (1.27 mm) in diameter) for further milling.
- a finer sieve such as a 120 mesh sieve for example (although other sizes may be used), may then separate particles to obtain a desired (e.g., final) powder size, such as by separating particles smaller than 4.7 micro inches (0.12 microns) in diameter that form the alloy powder, in a specific non-limiting example.
- the Mo-Si-B alloy powder can be used in a number of applications, such as for the formation of a Mo-Si-B alloy component.
- the Mo-Si-B alloy powder may be consolidated by sealing the powder in a can under vacuum (step 28) and then hot isostatically pressing (HIPing) the powder to form a billet (step 30).
- the billet may then be thermal mechanically processed, heat treated, and machined to form the Mo-Si-B alloy component (step 32).
- FIG. 2 An exploded view of an exemplary milling assembly, not forming part of the invention, that includes a Mo milling container (which has contact surfaces that may be composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material) that may be used to mill partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces, is shown in FIG. 2 .
- the milling container is a milling jar 40 composed of Mo-based material that includes cylindrical body 42, defining a cavity C therein, end flanges 44 and 46 and end caps 48 and 50.
- body 42, end flanges 44 and 46, and end caps 48 and 50 of milling jar 40 may be composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material so that surfaces coming into contact with partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces to be milled do not introduce contamination to the pieces during the milling process.
- End caps 48 and 50 are attached to flanges 44 and 46 by bolts 52 and nuts 54, although other attachment or securing mechanisms can be used without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
- the ends of milling jar 40 are hermetically sealed by O-rings 56, although other sealing mechanisms can be used without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
- the cylindrical body 42 has an outer diameter D1 and an inner diameter D2.
- Milling jar 40 (cylindrical body 42 plus end flanges 44, 46 and end caps 48, 50) has a length L1, as shown in FIG. 2 .

- a milling assembly not forming part of the invention that may be used to mill partially sintered Mo-Si-B powder pieces is an attritor mill, in which contact surfaces of a milling container and rotating attritor milling media inside the milling container are composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material.
- contact surfaces of the milling container and/or milling media being composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material is intended to include the use of pure (100%) molybdenum for these contact surfaces, as well as phases of molybdenum borosilicates, molybdenum silicides and other Mo-Si-B chemistries.
- Chemistry examples may include but are not limited to: MoSi 2 , Mo 5 SiB 2 , Mo 3 Si and Mo-Si-B chemistries called out in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,595,616 , 5,693,156 and 6,652,674 , for example.
- milling assemblies Although several examples of milling assemblies have been disclosed, it should be understood that other milling assemblies may be used in which a milling container and milling media each have contact surfaces that are composed of Mo-based material or lined and/or coated with Mo-based material, in order to minimize contamination of Mo-Si-B powder produced in the manner disclosed herein, and the present disclosure is not limited to the examples disclosed.
