  • the Ni-based alloy is strengthened by "a gamma prime ( ⁇ ') phase (hereinafter also referred to as "gamma prime” simply)".
  • the gamma prime is a precipitation strengthening phase of an intermetallic compound, for example Ni 3 Al, Ni 3 Ti, or Ni 3 (TiAl). It is effective to increase an amount of the gamma prime in order to further improve the heat resistance of the Ni-based alloy.
  • the extrusion is a method of, for example, inserting a billet heated at a hot-working temperature into a container and applying a compressive force to the billet from one end of the container to extrude the billet through a hole of a dice installed at the other end of the container to produce an extruded material.
  • a billet heated at a hot-working temperature into a container and applying a compressive force to the billet from one end of the container to extrude the billet through a hole of a dice installed at the other end of the container to produce an extruded material.
  • an ingot produced by casting a molten metal having a composition of the Ni-based alloy is used as a billet and extruding the billet being the ingot (see Patent Literature 1).

  • a method of manufacturing an extruded material of a super heat resistant Ni-based alloy includes: a first step of heating a billet made of the Ni-based alloy at a hot-working temperature; and a second step of inserting the billet heated at the hot-working temperature into a container, and applying a compressive force to the billet from one end of the container to extrude the billet through a hole of a dice at the other end of the container, thereby producing the extruded material of the Ni-based alloy.
  • the billet of the Ni-based alloy is an ingot produced by casting a molten metal having a composition of the Ni-based alloy.
  • an amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol %.
  • the hot-working temperature is not lower than 1030°C but lower than a gamma prime solvus temperature of the billet of the Ni-based alloy, and the billet is extruded at an extruding speed of 10 to 300 mm/s.
  • an extruded material of a super heat resistant Ni-based alloy has a composition of a precipitation strengthening type super heat resistant Ni-based alloy.
  • an amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol%.

If the alloy includes a large amount of the gamma prime during the hot working, the alloy has higher deforming resistance and thus the hot-workability of the alloy is decreased.
  • An amount of gamma prime in the Ni-based alloy changes depending on a temperature thereof.

  • the ingot having the above composition tends to segregate during solidification in the casting and a number of brittle phases are formed in the solidified cast structure.
  • the billet is subject to cracks from grain boundaries of the cast structure during the extrusion, and thus it has been difficult to produce the extruded material having a fine recrystallization structure.
  • the method in accordance with the present invention makes it possible to successfully extrude such ingot of the Ni-based alloy as the billet.
  • a hot-working temperature of the ingot, as the billet is not lower than1030°C but lower than "the gamma prime solvus temperature" of the Ni-based alloy.
  • the present inventors have found that it is effective to consider heat generated from the deformation as well as reduction of the deforming resistance for improving the possibility of extrusion of the billet. Since the deforming resistance of the billet, from which the working heat can be generated, very sensitively depends on a hot-working temperature, it is important to manage the hot-working temperature.
  • the hot-working temperature is set to "not lower than 1030°C". Thereby the working heat can be used effectively. Even when the gamma prime exists in the billet (i.e. at the hot-working temperature below the gamma prime solvus temperature), the extrusion ability of the billet can be wholly improved.
  • the hot-working temperature is preferably not lower than 1050°C, more preferably not lower than 1080°C, further more preferably not lower than 1100°C, and particularly preferably not lower than 1130°C.
  • the hot-working temperature achieves the gamma prime solvus temperature
  • recrystallized grains grow to form a coarse recrystallization structure.
  • the extruded material becomes brittle. It is important that, when the hot-working temperature is higher than the gamma prime solvus temperature, the billet of the Ni-based alloy, in which the amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol %, becomes to have no ductility in a very narrow temperature range between the gamma prime solvus temperature and the solidus temperature. Thus, the extrusion is difficult. Therefore, the hot-working temperature is determined at a temperature lower than "the gamma prime solvus temperature" of the billet of the Ni-based alloy.
  • the hot-working temperature is preferably not higher than 1180°C, more preferably not higher than 1170°C, and further more preferably not higher than 1150°C.
  • the gamma prime solvus temperature is determined by the composition of the Ni-based alloy.
  • the gamma prime solvus temperature can be obtained by analysis through a thermodynamic equilibrium calculation.
  • Various type of thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software can be used for the analysis to obtain the gamma prime solvus temperature correctly and easily.
  • the billet i.e. the ingot is extruded at an extruding speed of 10 to 300 mm/s.
  • FIG. 3 shows a result of tensile tests at 1150°C of Alloy 713C (an amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is 69 mol%, and gamma prime solvus temperature is 1185°C).
  • an amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is 69 mol%, and gamma prime solvus temperature is 1185°C.
  • reduction of area increases as strain rate increases.
  • This effective phenomenon similarly applies to the extrusion.
  • the ductility of the Ni-based alloy is improved by increasing the extruding speed in the temperature range lower than the gamma prime solvus temperature. The extruding speed is increased, i.e.
  • This extruding speed may correspond to the moving speed of a stem which pushes the billet in the extrusion.
  • the extruding speed is preferably not less than 12 mm/s, more preferably not less than 14 mm/s.
  • a mechanism of improving the ductility of the billet by increasing the extruding speed is presumed as follows. It is considered that the gamma prime in the Ni-based alloy interrupts dynamic recrystallization during the hot working and smooth deformation of the Ni-based alloy. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce higher strain energy so as to generate the dynamic recrystallization to cause the smooth deformation during the hot working of the Ni-based alloy in which the amount of the precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol%. It is considered that the increase of the strain rate (extruding speed) during the hot working makes the strain energy introduced into the Ni-based alloy be less relieved, and causes the sufficient dynamic recrystallization. Therefore, the smooth deformation of the Ni-based alloy becomes possible.
  • the extruding speed is determined to be not more than"300 mm/s.
  • the increase of the extruding speed is advantageous for improving the ductility of the billet, when the extruding speed is greater than a certain value, the degree of improving the ductility slows down and is saturated.
  • the upper limit of the extruding speed i.e. moving speed of the stem
  • the extruding speed is preferably not more than 280 mm/s, more preferably not more than 260 mm/s. Even if the extruding speed is not more than 100 mm/s or not more than 90 mm/s, the effect of the present invention can be obtained.
  • the billet is preferably an ingot that has been heat-treated.
  • the present invention even if an as-cast ingot is used as the billet, it can be extruded. However, by heating the as-cast ingot, segregation in the ingot for the billet can be reduced to improve high extrusion workability.
  • the heat treatment is preferably conducted in a temperature range around the gamma prime solvus temperature of the Ni-based alloy. Specifically, the temperature range of 1170 to 1250°C is preferable. It is more preferably not higher than1240°C and further more preferably not higher than 1230°C.
  • Too low heat treatment temperature leads to reduction of the effect.
  • the heat treatment temperature is higher, for example, far above the gamma prime solvus temperature, coarse grains of the gamma phase that have been formed at the casting grows further to make grain boundaries in the billet more brittle. It is supposed that the embrittlement is caused by segregation of trace elements in the grain boundaries in the billet.
  • a time period of the heat treatment time may be that of a typical soaking process for various kinds of ingots.
  • the time period is 3 to 30 hours, preferably not shorter than 10 hours.
  • the billet is the as-cast ingot having the composition of the precipitation strengthening type super heat resistant Ni-based alloy in which the amount of precipitated gamma prime in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol%, it can be successfully extruded by employing the above hot-working temperature and extruding speed. Even if an average grain size in a cross-section may be large, such as not less than 6.3 mm, or even not less than 7 mm in equivalent circle diameter (practically, upper limit is about 30 mm), the extrusion is possible.
  • the extruded material manufactured by the extrusion can have a fine recrystallization structure, for example.
  • the average grain size in the cross-sectional structure of the extruded material may be not more than 20 ⁇ m in equivalent circle diameter (practically, lower limit is about 2 ⁇ m). Furthermore, it may be not more than 15 ⁇ m, or even not more than 10 ⁇ m, in equivalent circle diameter.

  • the billet and the extruded material are halved in an extraction direction, and a cross-sectional structure at a position of a central axis of the cross section (that is, a cross section including the central axis in the longitudinal direction of the billet or the extruded material) can be observed. Then, equivalent circle diameters of crystal grains are measured in the cross section at the position of the central axis, and an average grain size is obtained.
  • the extrusion ratio (a cross-sectional area of the billet / a cross-sectional area of the extruded material) of the extrusion may be that in typical extrusion.
  • the extruding ratio may be 2 to 40.

  • the average grain size in equivalent circle diameter was about 10 mm.
  • Table 1 shows the compositions of the molten metals (that is, compositions of billet). Since Co, W, Ta, V, and Hf are impurity elements, the compositions satisfied Co ⁇ 28.0%, W ⁇ 6.0%, Ta ⁇ 3.0%, V ⁇ 1.2%, and Hf ⁇ 1.0%,.
  • gamma prime solvus temperatures and amounts of gamma prime precipitated in equilibrium at 700°C were obtained with use of thermodynamic equilibrium calculation software "JMatPro (Version 8.0.1, Sente Software Ltd.)".

  • the materials Nos. 1 to 4 have the composition of the precipitation strengthening type super heat resistant Ni-based alloy in which the amount of gamma prime precipitated in equilibrium at 700°C is not less than 40 mol% were produced by extruding the billets (ingots) at the hot-working temperature and the extruding speed according to the present invention.
  • Table 2 shows that the materials Nos. 1 to 4 were not subject to cracking.
  • the materials Nos. 1 to 4 had fine recrystallization structure.
  • the material No. 5 was extruded at a hot-working temperature higher than the gamma prime solvus temperature.
  • its billet had low ductility in the extrusion and was cracked.
  • the billet of the material No. 6 was extruded with a low extruding speed and has less ductility in the extrusion, thereby it was cracked.
  • the dynamic recrystallization did not occur sufficiently and a non-recrystallized structure existed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional macro structure of a billet at a reduced cross-sectional area portion during the extrusion in the material No. 4.
  • a cast structure 1 having a coarse grain size of about 10 mm at the position of the reduced cross-sectional area portion has changed into a fine recrystallization structure 2 after the extrusion (after the cross sectional area was reduced).
  • FIG. 2 shows an EBSD image of the cross-sectional microstructure of the material No. 4.
  • a scan step was 0.1 ⁇ m and an orientation difference of not less than 15° was defined as a grain boundary. This microstructure was observed at a position of the central axis in a cross section halved in the longitudinal direction of the material.
  • the material No. 4 in accordance with the invention had a fine recrystallization structure with an average grain size of about 2.1 ⁇ m in an equivalent circle diameter.
  • the materials Nos. 1 to 3 had fine recrystallization structures with an average grain size of about not more than 20 ⁇ m in an equivalent circle diameter, as similarly measured of the average grain size, since they were extruded at a higher hot-working temperature,
  • Another material was produced by performing extrusion at a lower hot-working temperature of 1025°C and under the same conditions as that of the extruded material No. 1 except the hot-working temperature. As a result, the material could not have fine recrystallization structure since a deforming resistance of the billet increased drastically and sufficient heat was not generated in the extrusion.
