Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to nickel-based superalloys for gas turbines, in particular for the fixed blades, also called distributors or rectifiers, or mobile blades of a gas turbine, for example in the field of aeronautics.
- nickel-based superalloys for single-crystal blades have undergone significant changes in chemical composition, in particular with the aim of improving their high-temperature creep properties while maintaining resistance to the highly aggressive environment in which these superalloys are used.
- metal coatings suitable for these alloys have been developed in order to increase their resistance to the aggressive environment in which these alloys are used, in particular oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance.
- a ceramic coating of low thermal conductivity, fulfilling a thermal barrier function can be added to reduce the temperature at the surface of the metal.
- a complete protection system has at least two layers.
- the first layer also called undercoat or bonding layer
- the first layer is directly deposited on the part to be protected in nickel-based superalloy, also called substrate, for example a blade.
- the deposition step is followed by a step of diffusion of the sublayer into the superalloy. Deposition and diffusion can also be carried out in a single step.
- M Ni (nickel) or Co (cobalt)
- Cr chromium
- NiAlyPtz nickel aluminide type alloys
- the second layer is a ceramic coating comprising for example yttria-containing zirconia, also called “YSZ” according to the English acronym for "Yttria Stabilized Zirconia” or “YPSZ” according to the English acronym for "Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia” and having a porous structure.
- yttria-containing zirconia also called “YSZ” according to the English acronym for "Yttria Stabilized Zirconia” or "YPSZ” according to the English acronym for "Yttria Partially Stabilized Zirconia” and having a porous structure.
- This layer can be deposited by different processes, such as electron beam evaporation (“EB-PVD” according to the English acronym for “Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition”), thermal spraying ("APS” according to the English acronym for “Atmospheric Plasma Spraying” or “SPS” according to the English acronym for “Suspension Plasma Spraying”), or any other process making it possible to obtain a porous ceramic coating with low thermal conductivity.
- EB-PVD electron beam evaporation
- APS thermal spraying
- APS according to the English acronym for "Atmospheric Plasma Spraying” or “SPS” according to the English acronym for “Suspension Plasma Spraying”
- any other process making it possible to obtain a porous ceramic coating with low thermal conductivity.
- inter-diffusion phenomena occur on a microscopic scale between the nickel-based superalloy of the substrate and the metal alloy of the sub-layer.
- These inter-diffusion phenomena associated with the oxidation of the sub-layer, modify in particular the chemical composition, the microstructure and consequently the mechanical properties of the sub-layer from the manufacture of the coating, then during the use of the blade in the turbine.
- These inter-diffusion phenomena also modify the chemical composition, the microstructure and consequently the mechanical properties of the superalloy of the substrate under the coating.
- a secondary reaction zone In superalloys heavily loaded with refractory elements, particularly tungsten, molybdenum or rhenium, a secondary reaction zone (SRS) can thus form in the superalloy under the sublayer over a depth of several tens or even hundreds of micrometers.
- SRS secondary reaction zone
- the mechanical characteristics of this SRS are significantly lower than those of the superalloy of substrate.
- the formation of ZRS is undesirable because it leads to a significant reduction in the mechanical strength of the superalloy.
- casting defects are likely to form in parts, such as blades, during their manufacture by directional solidification. These defects are generally parasitic grains of the "Freckle" type, the presence of which can cause premature failure of the part in service. The presence of these defects, linked to the chemical composition of the superalloy, generally leads to the rejection of the part, which results in an increase in the production cost.
- the present disclosure aims to propose nickel-based superalloy compositions for the manufacture of single-crystal components, exhibiting increased performance in terms of service life and mechanical resistance. and allowing to reduce the production costs of the part (reduction of the scrap rate) compared to existing alloys.
- These superalloys have a specific creep resistance (creep resistance relative to the density) at high temperature higher than that of existing alloys while demonstrating good microstructural stability in the volume of the superalloy (low sensitivity to the formation of PTC), good microstructural stability under the thermal barrier coating sublayer (low sensitivity to the formation of ZRS), good resistance to oxidation and corrosion while avoiding the formation of parasitic grains of the "Freckle" type.
- the present disclosure relates to a nickel-based superalloy comprising, in mass percentages, 5.0 to 6.3% of aluminum, 0.50 to 2.0% of tantalum, 1.5 to 3.5% of titanium, 0 to 3.0% of cobalt, 9.5 to 12.5% of chromium, 0.50 to 2.5% of molybdenum, 0 to 2.0% of tungsten, 1.5 to 6.5% of iron, 0.05 to 0.15% of hafnium, 0 to 0.15% of silicon, preferably 0.05 to 0.15% of silicon, the remainder being constituted by nickel and unavoidable impurities.
- This superalloy is intended for the manufacture of single-crystal gas turbine components, such as fixed or moving blades.
- This alloy therefore has improved high temperature creep resistance. This alloy also has improved corrosion and oxidation resistance. This alloy can also have improved thermal fatigue resistance.
- These superalloys have a density less than or equal to 8.00 g/cm 3 (gram per cubic centimeter).
- this composition of the nickel-based superalloy allows the implementation of a heat treatment which re-dissolves the y' phase precipitates and the y/y' eutectic phases which form during the solidification of the superalloy. It is thus possible to obtain a nickel-based monocrystalline superalloy containing y' precipitates of controlled size, preferably between 300 and 500 nanometers (nm), and containing a small proportion of y/y' eutectic phases.
- the heat treatment also makes it possible to control the molar fraction of the y' phase precipitates present in the nickel-based monocrystalline superalloy.
- the molar percentage of the y' phase precipitates may be greater than or equal to 50%, preferably greater than or equal to 60%, even more preferably equal to 70%.
- the major addition elements are cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), iron (Fe), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti) and tantalum (Ta).
- Minor addition elements are hafnium (Hf) and silicon (Si), for which the maximum mass content is less than 1% by mass.
- Unavoidable impurities include, for example, sulfur (S), carbon (C), boron (B), yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La) and cerium (Ce).
- Unavoidable impurities are defined as elements that are not intentionally added to the composition and that are provided with other elements.
- the superalloy may comprise 0.005% by mass of carbon.
- the addition of tungsten, chromium, cobalt, iron or molybdenum mainly serves to strengthen the austenitic matrix y of face-centered cubic (fcc) crystal structure by solid solution hardening.
- the chromium concentration is between 9.5 and 12.5% by mass in order to maintain a high solvus temperature of the y' phase of the nickel-based superalloy, for example greater than or equal to 1200°C while maintaining good corrosion resistance and avoiding the formation of topologically compact phases in the y matrix highly saturated with alloying elements such as molybdenum or tungsten.
- the chromium and cobalt content is optimized to obtain adequate solvus temperatures with the intended applications both for the desired mechanical properties and for the heat treatment capacity of the superalloy with a heat treatment window compatible with industrial needs, i.e. a difference between the solvus temperature and the solidus temperature of the superalloy which is sufficiently wide.
- a very low sulfur content in a nickel-based superalloy makes it possible to increase the resistance to oxidation and hot corrosion as well as the resistance to spalling of the thermal barrier.
- a low sulfur content less than 2 ppm by mass (parts per million by mass), or even ideally less than 0.5 ppm by mass, makes it possible to optimize these properties.
- Such a mass sulfur content can be obtained by producing a low-sulfur master casting or by a desulfurization process carried out after casting. It is in particular possible to maintain a low sulfur level by adapting the superalloy production process.
- the addition of iron is rare in superalloys intended for use in single-crystal casting. Iron partitions mainly into the y phase where iron replaces nickel. The cost of iron is much lower than the cost of nickel and its addition therefore reduces the price of the superalloy. The density of iron is lower than the density of nickel and therefore reduces the density of the superalloy. The addition of iron can be beneficial for the environmental resistance of the superalloy.
- iron also makes the superalloy more tolerant from the point of view of the use of recycled superalloys when developing a superalloy comprising iron. Indeed, iron is contained in some of the most widely used superalloys of the Inconel® (718) or Incoloy® (909) families.
- Nickel-based superalloys are understood to mean superalloys whose mass percentage of nickel is the majority. It is understood that nickel is therefore the element whose mass percentage in the alloy is the highest.
- the superalloy may comprise, in mass percentages, 6.0% aluminum, 1.0% tantalum, 2.0% titanium, 10.0% chromium, 1.0% molybdenum, 3.0% iron, 0.10% hafnium, 0.10% silicon, the remainder being constituted by nickel and unavoidable impurities.
- the superalloy may comprise, in mass percentages, 6.0% aluminum, 1.0% tantalum, 2.0% titanium, 12.0% chromium, 2.0% molybdenum, 2.0% iron, 0.10% hafnium, 0.10% silicon, the remainder being constituted by nickel and unavoidable impurities.

- the superalloy may comprise, in mass percentages, 5.75% aluminum, 1.5% tantalum, 3.0% titanium, 12.0% chromium, 1.0% molybdenum, 1.0% tungsten, 3.0% iron, 0.10% hafnium, 0.10% silicon, the remainder being constituted by nickel and unavoidable impurities.
- the present disclosure also relates to a monocrystalline blade for a turbomachine comprising a superalloy as defined above.
- This blade therefore has improved high temperature creep resistance. This blade therefore has improved oxidation and corrosion resistance.
- the blade may include a protective coating comprising a metallic undercoat deposited on the superalloy and a ceramic thermal barrier deposited on the metallic undercoat.
- the metal underlayer may be an MCrAlY type alloy or a nickel aluminide type alloy.
- the ceramic thermal barrier may be a yttria-based zirconia material or any other low thermal conductivity ceramic (zirconia-based) coating.
- the blade may have a structure oriented along a crystallographic direction ⁇ 001>.
- the present disclosure also relates to a turbomachine comprising a blade as defined above.
- Figure 1 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of a turbomachine.
- Nickel-based superalloys are intended for the manufacture of single-crystal blades by a directed solidification process in a thermal gradient.
- the use of a single-crystal seed or a grain selector at the start of solidification makes it possible to obtain this single-crystal structure.
- the structure is oriented, for example, in a crystallographic direction ⁇ 001>, which is the orientation which generally gives the superalloys the optimum mechanical properties.
- As-solidified nickel-based single-crystal superalloys have a dendritic structure and consist of y' Ni 3 (Al, Ti, Ta) precipitates dispersed in a y matrix of face-centered cubic structure, a nickel-based solid solution. These y' phase precipitates are heterogeneously distributed in the volume of the single crystal due to chemical segregations resulting from the solidification process. Furthermore, y/y' eutectic phases are present in the inter-dendritic regions and constitute preferential crack initiation sites. These y/y' eutectic phases form at the end of solidification.
- the y/y' eutectic phases are formed to the detriment of the fine precipitates (smaller than a micrometer) of the hardening y' phase.
- These y' phase precipitates constitute the main source of hardening of nickel-based superalloys.
- the presence of residual y/y' eutectic phases does not allow optimization of the hot creep resistance of the nickel-based superalloy.
- the as-solidified nickel-based superalloys are therefore heat-treated to obtain the desired distribution of the different phases.
- the first heat treatment is a homogenization treatment. of the microstructure which aims to dissolve the y' phase precipitates and eliminate the y/y' eutectic phases or significantly reduce their molar fraction. This treatment is carried out at a temperature higher than the solvus temperature of the y' phase and lower than the starting melting temperature of the superalloy (T solidus ). Quenching is then carried out at the end of this first heat treatment to obtain a fine and homogeneous dispersion of the y' precipitates. Tempering heat treatments are then carried out in two stages, at temperatures lower than the solvus temperature of the y' phase. In a first stage, to enlarge the y' precipitates and obtain the desired size, then in a second stage, to increase the molar fraction of this phase to approximately 70% at room temperature.
- Figure 1 shows, in section along a vertical plane passing through its main axis A, a dual-flow turbojet engine 10.
- the dual-flow turbojet engine 10 comprises, from upstream to downstream according to the circulation of the air flow, a fan 12, a low-pressure compressor 14, a high-pressure compressor 16, a combustion chamber 18, a high-pressure turbine 20, and a low-pressure turbine 22.
- the high-pressure turbine 20 comprises a plurality of moving blades 20A rotating with the rotor and rectifiers 20B (fixed blades) mounted on the stator.
- the stator of the turbine 20 comprises a plurality of stator rings 24 arranged opposite the moving blades 20A of the turbine 20.
- a moving blade 20A or a rectifier 20B for a turbomachine comprising a superalloy as defined above coated with a protective coating comprising a metallic underlayer.
- a turbomachine may in particular be a turbojet such as a dual-flow turbojet 10.
- the turbomachine may also be a single-flow turbojet, a turboprop or a turbomotor. Examples
- Example 1 to Ex 7 Seven nickel-based single-crystal superalloys of the present disclosure (Ex 1 to Ex 7) were studied and compared to four commercial or experimental single-crystal superalloys (CEx 1 to CEx 4).
- the two commercial single-crystal superalloys are: IN-738® (CEx 3) and RR2000® (CEx 4).
- the chemical composition of each of the single-crystal superalloys is given in Table 1, with composition CEx 3 further comprising 0.17% by mass of carbon (C) and 0.9% by mass of niobium (Nb) and composition CEx 4 further comprising 1.0% by mass of vanadium (V). All of these superalloys are nickel-based superalloys, i.e. the balance to 100% of the compositions presented is constituted by nickel and unavoidable impurities.
- Table 2 shows different parameters for superalloys Ex 1 to Ex 7 and CEx 1 to CEx 4.
- the room temperature density of each superalloy was estimated using a modified version of Hull's formula (FC Hull, Metal Progress, November 1969, ppl39-140). This empirical equation was proposed by Hull. The empirical equation is based on a law of mixtures and includes correction terms derived from a linear regression analysis of experimental data (chemical compositions and measured densities) concerning 235 superalloys and stainless steels.
- This Hull formula has been modified, in particular to take into account elements such as rhenium, and this, from 272 nickel-based, cobalt-based and iron-based superalloys.
- the calculated densities for the alloys of the invention are less than 8.00 g/cm 3 (see Table 2).
- Density is of prime importance for applications of rotating components such as turbine blades. Indeed, an increase in the density of the superalloy of the blades requires a reinforcement of the disk carrying them, and therefore another additional cost in weight. It is noted that the superalloys Ex 1 to Ex 7 have densities similar to the comparison superalloys. It should be noted that the density range of nickel-based superalloys for single-crystal casting can reach more than 9.0 g/cm 3 , this similarity testifies to a significant reduction which can have important beneficial effects for turned parts.
- the alloys of the invention are competitive given their positioning with respect to the reference alloys with a cost of approximately $25/kg which is 20% lower than the cost of the reference superalloys CEx 3 and CEx 4.
- This equation (2) was obtained by multiple linear regression analysis from observations made after aging for 400 hours at 1093°C (degree centigrade) of samples of various nickel-based superalloys of the René N6® alloy family under a NiPtAI coating.
- NFP [%Ta + 1.5 %Hf + 0.5 %Mo - 0.5% %Ti)]/[%W + 1.2 %Re)] where %Cr, %Ni, ...%X are the contents, expressed as mass percentages, of the elements of the superalloy Cr, Ni, ..., X.
- the NFP parameter makes it possible to quantify the sensitivity to the formation of parasitic grains of the “Freckles” type during the directional solidification of the part (document US 5,888,451). To avoid the formation of “Freckles” type defects, the NFP parameter must be greater than or equal to 0.7.
- the Ex 5 and Ex 7 superalloys have an NFP parameter equal to 0.7.
- the commercial CEx 3 superalloy has a higher sensitivity to the formation of this type of defects as indicated in the Error! Reference source not found.2.
- a low Sensitivity to this type of defect is an important parameter because it implies a low rate of rejection linked to this defect during the manufacture of parts.
- the intrinsic mechanical strength of the y' phase increases with the content of elements replacing aluminum in the Ni 3 AI compound, such as titanium, tantalum and part of the tungsten.
- the stoichiometry of the y' phase can therefore be written as Ni 3 (AI, Ti, Ta, W).
- the RGP parameter makes it possible to estimate the level of hardening of the y' phase: where C Ti , C Ta , C w and CAI are the nominal concentrations, expressed in atomic percentage, of the elements Ti, Ta, W and Al respectively in the superalloy.
- Table 3 shows other parameters for superalloys Ex 1 to Ex 7 and CEx 1 to CEx 4.
- TTH Heat Treatment Interval
- the manufacturability of the alloys of the invention was also estimated from the possibility of industrially re-dissolving the y' phase precipitates to optimize the mechanical properties of the alloys.
- the heat treatment interval was estimated from the calculation of the solidus temperature and the solvus temperature of the y' phase precipitates of the alloys.
- Superalloys Ex 1 to Ex 7 have wide heat treatment windows, greater than 50°C, which is compatible with industrial furnaces.
- the CALPHAD method was used to calculate the molar fraction (in molar percentage) of y' phase at equilibrium in superalloys Ex 1, Ex 2 and CEx 1 to CEx 4 at 750°C and 900°C.
- superalloys Ex 1 to Ex 7 contain phase molar fractions similar to superalloys CEx 1 and CEx 2 and much higher than superalloys CEx 3 and CEx 4.
- the example alloys of the invention thus have a strong potential for high temperature applications, in particular for the manufacture of turbine blades, combining an adequate compromise combining low density, high mechanical strength, low sensitivity to the formation of defects (PTC, ZR.S, casting defects), while retaining high resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
- the superalloys of the invention have been designed so as to maintain high corrosion resistance ( ⁇ 900°C) and oxidation resistance ( ⁇ 1100°C) at high temperature.
- the flow circulating through the turbines of the turbojets is loaded with products which are generally a result of the combustion reaction of the fuel, but which also include water, sand, and salts contained in the incoming air ingested by the turbomachine.
- the fuel also contains impurities and sulfur products (always existing regardless of the cleanliness of the fuel).
- the alloys oxidize under the operating conditions imposed by the engines (temperature, pressure) by reactions with the various gases contained (O2(g), CO X , NO X , H 2 O, etc.) in the engine environment.
- the superalloys of the invention have chromium contents greater than or equal to that of the CEx 4 superalloy and less than that of the CEx 1 to CEx 3 superalloys.
- the aluminum contents of the superalloys of the invention are greater than or equal to those of the reference superalloys, in particular that of the CEx 3 superalloy.
- the reduction in the cobalt and titanium contents should improve the environmental resistance of the superalloys of the invention in comparison with the CEx 4 superalloy.
