Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of austenitic alloys requiring good mechanical and environmental resistance, at high temperatures, in particular for use in steam cracking furnaces in the petrochemical industry.
- it relates to a high aluminum content austenitic alloy which exhibits excellent corrosion and creep resistance at temperatures above 900 ° C.
- Austenitic alloys based on nickel, chromium and iron called “refractory” have been known for many years for their applications at very high temperatures (see in particular the document FR2333870 ).
- refractory a metallic oxide layer on its surface
- aluminum oxide layer Due to the formation of an aluminum oxide layer on its surface, the alloy then has excellent resistance to carburization and oxidation in an environment at very high temperatures.
- an austenitic alloy having a high aluminum content to ensure high environmental resistance (corrosion by carburization, oxidation or nitriding) while guaranteeing a creep resistance at least as high as the alloys currently known. , containing little (typically less than 3%) or no aluminum.
- the present invention proposes a solution for achieving the aforementioned objectives.
- the invention relates to a high aluminum austenitic alloy which has excellent environmental and creep resistance at temperatures of 900 ° C or higher.
- the invention also relates to a method for designing such an alloy.
- the method comprises the choice of the respective weight percentages of aluminum x Al, nickel x Ni , chromium x Cr , titanium x Ti , carbon x C , niobium x Nb , tantalum x Ta , silicon x Si and manganese x Mn , so that the alloy has less than 1% by volume of a B2-NiAl intermetallic phase and less than 1% by volume of a chromium rich alpha prime phase, after the service temperature has been applied to him.
- the invention relates to an austenitic alloy based on nickel, chromium and iron, with a high aluminum content, intended to be used at a service temperature Ts between 900 ° C. and 1200 ° C. Ts can typically be set to 1000 ° C.
- austenitic alloy according to the invention could be used at operating temperatures below 900 ° C, but would not have, in these temperature ranges, significant advantage over a standard alloy containing little or no 'aluminum.
- a minimum of 20% chromium is required to ensure good resistance to corrosion and to allow the formation of chromium carbides, which favorably impact the creep resistance of the alloy.
- the maximum mass percentage of chromium is constrained to 32% in particular to limit the integration of alphagene element tending to destabilize the austenitic structure of the alloy.
- the type of primary carbides (M 7 C 3 or M 23 C 6 ), predominant after solidification of the alloy, varies depending on the chromium content, as illustrated in FIG. figure 4 . It is observed that the molar fraction of the primary carbides M 7 C 3 passes through an optimum for a chromium content between 23% and 28%, then decreases, whereas the molar fraction of the primary carbides M 23 C 6 increases significantly beyond a chromium content of the order of 30%.
- the weight percentage of chromium is thus kept below 30%, or even less than 28%, so as to guarantee a majority fraction of M 7 C 3 primary carbides after solidification of the alloy, which make it possible to obtain a thin and homogeneous dispersion of M 23 C 6 secondary carbides (from the transformation of primary carbides M 7 C 3 during high temperature cycles).
- Such a dispersion of secondary precipitates M 23 C 6 (thinner and uniformly distributed than the primary carbides M 23 C 6 ) provides improved creep properties to the alloy.
- the minimum mass percentage of nickel is defined at 30% so as to maintain a refractory alloy of austenitic structure, the alloy containing at least 20% of chromium as well as other alphagenic elements tending to destabilize the austenitic structure in favor of a ferritic structure.
- the amount of nickel is limited to 60%, or even 55% for economic reasons, nickel being a strong contributor of costs.
- the range of nickel content can be defined for a purpose just necessary, to prevent the formation of harmful phases at the service temperature Ts while maintaining controlled costs, as will be described later.
- the mass percentage of carbon is defined at a minimum of 0.4% to allow formation in the alloy of a large volume fraction of carbides, said carbides reinforcing the creep resistance of the alloy.
- the maximum percentage is set at 0.7% in order to maintain sufficient ductility in the use of the material, carbide reinforcement also having a reduced ductility effect.
- Titanium has a strong impact on the formation of finer and uniformly distributed carbides in the alloy: it is particularly effective at low levels, called micro additions. It is included in the alloy in a mass percentage ranging from 0.05% to 0.3%.
- Niobium and / or tantalum are added to the alloy. These two compounds also contribute to the formation of carbides.
- the sum of the mass percentages of niobium and tantalum is greater than 0.6% and less than or equal to 2%.
- Aluminum is present in the alloy at a high content, between 3.5% and 6%. Such a content allows the formation of a continuous aluminum oxide layer on the surface of the alloy in a wide range of oxygen partial pressure (ranging from less than 5 particles per million to high partial pressures such as under air), and a wide temperature range (intermediate temperatures around 800 ° C to temperatures above 1200 ° C). The surface layer of aluminum oxide then forms a very resistant and effective barrier to corrosion (oxidation, carburization, nitriding) of the alloy, at high temperatures, typically 900 ° C. and above.
- the weight percentage of aluminum is greater than or equal to 3.8% or even 4%.
- a high aluminum content ensures the formation of an aluminum oxide layer over a wider range of environmental conditions. It also allows access to a larger "reservoir” of aluminum and thus to preserve the properties of the alloy over longer durations, in very severe environments where the aluminum oxide layers are consumed.
- an element composed of at least one rare earth (such as, for example, yttrium, cerium) and / or hafnium is beneficial to the growth and adhesion of the oxide layer. aluminum on the surface of the alloy.
- the total amount of this element is set at a minimum of 0.002%. An amount greater than 0.1% does not bring any additional effect whereas it implies a strong impact on the cost; it can even be harmful to mechanical properties, including high mechanical resistance temperatures.
- the total content of rare earth (s) and / or hafnium is limited to 0.05%, or even limited to 0.01%.
- the alloy may optionally contain silicon, to promote flow during casting of the alloy and enhance its resistance to corrosion.
- the amount of silicon is nevertheless limited to 0.5% to avoid negatively impacting the creep resistance of the alloy.
- the alloy may also contain manganese, but in a mass percentage of less than 0.5% to avoid or limit the formation of spinel oxide of manganese and chromium which has a very fast formation kinetics but is less stable and protective than chromium oxide and even more so than aluminum oxide.
- the alloy may optionally contain tungsten, which plays a minor role in improving the mechanical properties at high temperatures, by processing the tungsten enriched chromium carbides and by solid solution hardening. This element is limited to 2% because too much tungsten in the chromium carbides will make them lose their stability and their role of hardening at high temperatures.
- the alloy comprises iron, in a percentage complementing the composition of the alloy, so that the sum of the mass percentages of the compounds reaches 100%.
- the alloy may also comprise low levels of other conventional elements of steels found in particular in the raw materials or in the manufacturing steps. At low levels, these elements have little impact or special need. We thus find at levels less than 0.5% of elements such as molybdenum or copper.
- the alloy can possibly be polluted by trace impurities of the order of the particle per million, to the hundreds of particles per million, such as phosphorus, sulfur, lead, tin, etc. .
- the operating temperature is the temperature at which the alloy is intended to be subjected during its use: for example, for an alloy forming a steam cracking furnace tube, the operating temperature may be between 950 ° C and 1150 ° C.
- B2 according to the notation Strukturbericht qualifies a phase comprising two types of atoms (here, Ni and Al) in equal proportion and whose crystallographic structure is "Interpenetrated primitive cubic", that is to say that each of the two types of atoms forms a simple centered cubic network, with one atom of one type in the center of each cube of the other type.
- the B2-NiAl phase is not necessarily stoichiometric, the Al sites may possibly be replaced by Cr or Fe atoms.
- the Applicant has been able to determine that, in a high aluminum austenitic alloy, the creep resistance, at the service temperature Ts, decreases with the increase of the volume fraction of the B2-NiAl phase in the alloy. brought to said temperature. It is the same with the increase of the volume fraction of alpha prime phases.
- a characteristic of the austenitic alloy according to the invention is that it has less than 1% by volume of a B2-NiAl intermetallic phase and less than 1% by volume of a phase rich in chrome alpha prime, after the service temperature Ts has been applied to it for a few hours, typically for more than 10 hours.
- the alloy according to the invention has less than 0.5% by volume of each of the B2-NiAl and alpha prime phases, or even less than 0.2% by volume.
- Mass percentages in the alloy of aluminum x Al, nickel x Ni , chromium x Cr , titanium x Ti , carbon x C , niobium x Nb , tantalum x Ta and (when present) silicon x Si and manganese x Mn are linked to T max B 2 - NiAl and T max ⁇ ' , the maximum temperatures of the stability domain respectively of the B2-NiAl intermetallic phase and of the alpha prime phase, in the alloy. Said maximum temperatures of the stability range can be seen as the limiting temperatures below which there is formation in the alloy of the phases B2-NiAl and alpha prime over a temperature range corresponding to the stability range of each phase.
- the compounds Al, Cr, Si, Mn, Ti, Nb and Ta tend to increase the maximum temperatures T max B 2 - NiAl and T max ⁇ ' from the stability domain of the B2-NiAl and alpha prime phases (in other words, they tend to widen their field of existence towards high temperatures); the compounds Ni and C tend to decrease the maximum temperatures T max B 2 - NiAl and T max ⁇ ' the stability domain of the B2-NiAl and alpha prime phases.
- the service temperature Ts must be greater than the maximum temperatures T max B 2 - NiAl and T max ⁇ ' stability domains of the B2-NiAl phase and the alpha prime phase, so that the alloy, subjected to Ts during its use, exhibits no or very few intermetallic phase precipitates B2-NiAl and / or alpha premium, which may reduce its resistance to creep.
- the weight percentages of aluminum x Al, nickel x Ni , chromium x Cr , titanium x Ti , carbon x C , niobium x Nb , tantalum x Ta and when they are present, silicon x Si and manganese x Mn thus respect one and the other of the two following relations R3, R4: - 28 , 3 x al 2 + 455 , 4 x al - 0 , 32 x Or 2 + 15 , 3 x Or - 0 , 22 x Cr 2 + 20 , 7 x Cr + 121 x Yes + 27 x mn + 16 x Ti + 12 x Nb + 16 x Your - 45 x C - 866 ⁇ ts 1 , 8 x al 2 + 38 , 3 x al + 0 , 42 x Or 2 - 51.2 x Or + 27.8 x Cr + 34 x Yes + 8 x mn + 89
- the alloys forming the tubes can be subjected to temperatures ranging from 950 ° C to 1150 ° C.
- a service temperature Ts of 1000 ° C may for example be taken into account in the above relationships to cover a large part of industrial cases.
- X is a minimum value for the alloy to have very little or no B2-NiAl phases and alpha prime at the service temperature Ts.
- An upper bound is defined at X plus 10 points (X + 10), to leave an industrial latitude over the control of the composition. More nickel does not bring additional benefits and unnecessarily increases the costs of the alloy. Alternatively, the upper bound could be set to X + 8 or even X + 6.
- the invention also relates to a method for designing an austenitic alloy with a high aluminum content and having excellent resistance to both corrosion and creep at a service temperature greater than or equal to 900 ° C.
- the design process includes the choice of the respective weight percentages of aluminum x Al, nickel x Ni , chromium x Cr , titanium x Ti , carbon x C , niobium x Nb , tantalum x Ta , and they are present, silicon x Si , manganese x Mn and tungsten x W so that the alloy has less than 1%, even less than 0.5%, or even less than 0.2% by volume of a B2-NiAl intermetallic phase and / or an alpha prime phase, after the service temperature Ts has been applied to it for a few hours.
- the respective weight percentages of aluminum x Al, nickel x Ni , chromium x Cr , titanium x Ti , carbon x C , niobium x Nb , tantalum x Ta , and if they are present, silicon x Si and manganese x Mn are chosen so as to respect one of the two following relations R3, R4: - 28 , 3 x al 2 + 455 , 4 x al - 0 , 32 x Or 2 + 15 , 3 x Or - 0 , 22 x Cr 2 + 20 , 7 x Cr + 121 x Yes + 27 x mn + 16 x Ti + 12 x Nb + 16 x Your - 45 x C - 866 ⁇ ts 1 , 8 x al 2 + 38 , 3 x al + 0 , 42 x Or 2 - 51.2 x Or + 27.8 x Cr + 34 x Yes + 8 x
- X is a minimum value for the alloy to have very little or no B2-NiAl phases and alpha prime at the service temperature Ts.
- An upper bound is defined at X + 10 because more nickel does not bring additional benefits and unnecessarily increases the costs of the alloy; the upper limit could possibly be set to X + 8 or even X + 6.
- the alloys forming the tubes are usually subjected to temperatures ranging from 950 ° C to 1150 ° C.
- Service temperatures Ts of 950 ° C, 1000 ° C or 1050 ° C may be the most commonly considered.

- This B2-NiAl intermetallic phase could be identified as such thanks to fine characterizations carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
- TEM transmission electron microscopy
- the B2-NiAl phase appeared under two different types in alloys 6 ( Figure 2c ) and 8 ( figure 2d ): a type I having a flat shape in the austenitic matrix, formed by homogeneous germination; and a type II present between the carbide precipitates and the austenitic matrix, formed by heterogeneous germination.
