Description

この出願の発明は、ジェットエンジン、産業用ガスタービンなど高温機器に用いる耐熱合金であるNi基超合金に関するものであり、さらに詳しくは、原子力発電等のタービンブレードやタービンベーンとして好適なCo(コバルト)を含まない、いわゆるコバルトフリーのNi(ニッケル)基超合金に関するものである。   The invention of this application relates to a Ni-base superalloy, which is a heat-resistant alloy used in high-temperature equipment such as jet engines and industrial gas turbines, and more specifically, Co (cobalt) suitable as a turbine blade or turbine vane for nuclear power generation or the like. ) And a so-called cobalt-free Ni (nickel) -base superalloy.

Ni基超合金は、高温での組織安定性やクリープ特性が優れていることから高温機器の材料として幅広く利用されており特許出願もなされている(特許文献1および2)。   Ni-base superalloys are widely used as materials for high-temperature equipment because of their excellent structure stability and creep characteristics at high temperatures, and patent applications have been filed (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

特に、最近では原子力発電のタービンブレードやタービンベーン等の好適な材料として期待されているが、この耐熱特性に優れたNi基超合金には多量のCo(コバルト)が含有されている。CoはAl、Ta等のガンマ母相に対する高温下での固溶限を大きくするとともに熱処理によって微細なガンマプライム相を分散析出して高温強度を向上するという優れた機能を有しているため高温で使用するNi基超合金には不可欠な成分と考えられてきた。ところが、Coは半減期が長いためCoが含有されているNi基超合金がもし放射能汚染された場合にはメンテナンスが大変面倒になる。したがって、Ni基超合金を原子力発電等の放射能汚染の可能性がある高温機器の部材として使用するに際し、半減期の長いCoを含有しなくてもCoを含有したものと同等あるいはそれ以上のクリープ強度特性を有するNi基超合金の実現が望まれていた。
米国特許第5、366、695 号明細書 欧州特開第1、262、569 号公報
In particular, it has recently been expected as a suitable material for nuclear power turbine blades, turbine vanes, and the like, but this Ni-based superalloy excellent in heat resistance contains a large amount of Co (cobalt). Co has an excellent function of increasing the solid solubility limit at high temperatures for gamma matrix phases such as Al and Ta, and improving the high temperature strength by dispersing and precipitating fine gamma prime phases by heat treatment. It has been considered as an indispensable component for the Ni-base superalloy used in the above. However, since Co has a long half-life, if a Ni-base superalloy containing Co is radioactively contaminated, maintenance becomes very troublesome. Therefore, when using Ni-base superalloy as a member of high-temperature equipment with the possibility of radioactive contamination such as nuclear power generation, even if it does not contain Co with a long half-life, it is equivalent to or more than that containing Co Realization of a Ni-base superalloy having creep strength characteristics has been desired.

Coが含有された既存の最強のNi基超合金とこの出願の発明とのクリープ寿命を比較した結果を示した図である。It is the figure which showed the result of having compared the creep life of the existing strongest Ni base superalloy containing Co and the invention of this application.

この出願の発明は、上記のとおりの特徴を持つものであるが、以下にその実施の形態について詳細に説明する。   The invention of this application has the characteristics as described above, and the embodiments thereof will be described in detail below.

CoはAl、Ta等のガンマ母相に対する高温下での固溶限を大きくするとともに熱処理によって微細なガンマプライム相を分散析出して高温強度を向上するという機能を有しているため高温での組織安定性やクリープ特性が優れたNi基超合金には不可欠な成分と考えられていた。しかしながら、この出願の発明ではこれまで高強度Ni基超合金において不可欠であると考えられてきたCoを添加しないでも、Ni基超合金を特定の組成にすることにより、すなわち、Cr:0〜10.0wt%、Mo:0.1〜3.5wt%、W:7.6〜10.0wt%、Al:4.0〜7.0wt%、Ta、NbおよびTiの少なくとも1種:12.0wt%以下、Hf:0〜2.0wt%、Re:0.1〜5.0wt%を含有し、残部がNiと不可避的不純物からなる組成にすることにより、第2世代Ni基単結晶合金として使用実績のあるCoを含んだCMSX−4に比較しても高いクリープ強度を有したNi基超合金を生成することが可能である。   Co has the function of increasing the solid solubility limit at high temperatures for gamma matrix phases such as Al and Ta, and dispersing and precipitating fine gamma prime phases by heat treatment to improve the high temperature strength. It was considered an indispensable component for a Ni-base superalloy having excellent structure stability and creep characteristics. However, in the invention of this application, even without adding Co, which has been considered to be indispensable in high-strength Ni-base superalloys so far, by making the Ni-base superalloy a specific composition, that is, Cr: 0 to 10 0.0 wt%, Mo: 0.1-3.5 wt%, W: 7.6-10.0 wt%, Al: 4.0-7.0 wt%, at least one of Ta, Nb and Ti: 12.0 wt %, Hf: 0 to 2.0 wt%, Re: 0.1 to 5.0 wt%, and the balance is made of Ni and inevitable impurities, thereby producing a second generation Ni-based single crystal alloy. It is possible to produce a Ni-base superalloy having a high creep strength even compared to CMSX-4 containing Co, which has been used.

また、この出願の発明ではNi基超合金を用いる高温機器の特定の用途により、たとえば、Si:0.3wt%以下、V:3wt%以下、Zr:3wt%以下、C:0.3wt%以下、B:0.2wt%以下、Y:0.2wt%以下、La:0.2wt%以下、Ce:0.2wt%以下の少なくとも1種以上を添加することにより、様々な用途に応じた製品の物性をさらに向上させることが可能である。   In the invention of this application, depending on the specific application of the high-temperature equipment using the Ni-base superalloy, for example, Si: 0.3 wt% or less, V: 3 wt% or less, Zr: 3 wt% or less, C: 0.3 wt% or less , B: 0.2 wt% or less, Y: 0.2 wt% or less, La: 0.2 wt% or less, Ce: 0.2 wt% or less It is possible to further improve the physical properties.

この出願の発明のコバルトフリーのNi基超合金は、高温での組織安定性やクリープ特性が優れており、特にタービンブレードまたはタービンベーン部品の製造に好適である。   The cobalt-free Ni-base superalloy of the invention of this application has excellent structure stability and creep characteristics at high temperatures, and is particularly suitable for the production of turbine blades or turbine vane parts.

この出願の発明のNi基超合金の成分の最適な含有範囲を下記に示す。   The optimum content range of the Ni-base superalloy components of the invention of this application is shown below.

Cr(クロム)は、耐酸化性に優れた元素であり、Ni基超合金の高温耐食性を向上させる。Crの含有量は1.0−10.0wt%の範囲が好ましく、さらに4.0〜6.0wt%がより好ましい。   Cr (chromium) is an element excellent in oxidation resistance, and improves the high temperature corrosion resistance of the Ni-base superalloy. The Cr content is preferably in the range of 1.0-10.0 wt%, and more preferably 4.0-6.0 wt%.

Mo(モリブデン)は、素地中に固溶して高温強度を上昇させるとともに析出硬化により高温強度に寄与する。Moの含有量は0.1−3.5wt%の範囲が好ましく、さらに1.0〜3.0wt%がより好ましい。   Mo (molybdenum) dissolves in the substrate to increase the high temperature strength and contributes to the high temperature strength by precipitation hardening. The Mo content is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 3.5 wt%, more preferably 1.0 to 3.0 wt%.

W(タングステン)は、Moと同様に固溶強化と析出硬化の作用がある。Wの含有量は7.5−10.0wt%の範囲が好ましく、さらに7.6〜8.5wt%がより好ましい。   W (tungsten) has the effects of solid solution strengthening and precipitation hardening, similar to Mo. The W content is preferably in the range of 7.5 to 10.0 wt%, and more preferably 7.6 to 8.5 wt%.

Al(アルミニウム)は、Niと化合してガンマ母相中に析出するガンマプライム相を構成するNi3Alで表される金属間化合物を体積分率で50〜70%の割合で形成して高温強度を向上させる。Alの含有量は4.0−8.0wt%の範囲が好ましく、さらに4.5〜6.0wt%がより好ましい。Al (aluminum) forms an intermetallic compound represented by Ni 3 Al constituting a gamma prime phase that combines with Ni and precipitates in a gamma matrix phase at a volume fraction of 50 to 70%. Improve strength. The content of Al is preferably in the range of 4.0 to 8.0 wt%, and more preferably 4.5 to 6.0 wt%.

特に本発明では、Ta(タンタル)、Nb(ニオブ)、Ti(チタン)は、いずれもガンマプライム相を強化してクリープ強度を向上させる。これらの1つ以上を添加することが必要であるが、好ましくは0.1wt%以上とし、また、元素の含有量の総和が12wt%以上になると有害相の生成が助長されるので12wt%以下とする。さらに4.0〜10.0wt%の範囲がより好ましい。Hf(ハフニウム)は、耐酸化性を向上させる効果がある。含有量が2wt%を超えると有害相の生成を助長するのでこれ以下とする必要がある。なお、単結晶凝固法により作成するタービンブレードやタービンベーン部品ではHfを0wt%としても良いが、0.1〜1.6wt%がより好ましい。   Particularly in the present invention, Ta (tantalum), Nb (niobium), and Ti (titanium) all strengthen the gamma prime phase and improve the creep strength. It is necessary to add one or more of these, but preferably 0.1 wt% or more, and if the total content of elements is 12 wt% or more, the formation of harmful phases is promoted, so 12 wt% or less And Furthermore, the range of 4.0-10.0 wt% is more preferable. Hf (hafnium) has an effect of improving oxidation resistance. If the content exceeds 2 wt%, the formation of a harmful phase is promoted, so it is necessary to make it less than this. In addition, in the turbine blade and turbine vane part produced by the single crystal solidification method, Hf may be 0 wt%, but 0.1 to 1.6 wt% is more preferable.

Re(レニウム)は、ガンマ相に固溶して固溶強化により高温強度を向上させるだけでなく耐食性を向上させる効果もある。ただ、Reを多量に含有すると、高温時にTCP相が析出して高温強度を低下させるおそれがあるので0.1−5wt%の範囲が好ましく、さらに1.5〜3.5wt%がより好ましい。   Re (rhenium) has the effect of improving the corrosion resistance as well as improving the high temperature strength by solid solution strengthening in the gamma phase. However, if a large amount of Re is contained, the TCP phase may be precipitated at high temperatures to reduce the high temperature strength, so the range of 0.1-5 wt% is preferable, and 1.5 to 3.5 wt% is more preferable.

Si(ケイ素)は、合金表面にSiO2皮膜を生成させて保護被膜として耐酸化性を向上させる。しかしながら、Siを多量に含有すると他の元素の固溶限を低下させるため0.3wt%以下が好ましい。Si (silicon) improves the oxidation resistance as a protective film by forming a SiO 2 film on the alloy surface. However, if Si is contained in a large amount, the solid solubility limit of other elements is lowered, so 0.3 wt% or less is preferable.

V(バナジウム)は、ガンマプライム相に固溶してガンマプライム相を強化させる。しかしながら、過度の含有量はクリープ強度を低下させるため3wt%以下が好ましい。   V (vanadium) is dissolved in the gamma prime phase to strengthen the gamma prime phase. However, an excessive content of 3 wt% or less is preferable because it reduces the creep strength.

Zr(ジルコニウム)は、B(ホウ素)やCと同様に粒界を強化する。しかしながら、過度の含有量はクリープ強度を低下させることから3wt%以下が好ましい。   Zr (zirconium) reinforces grain boundaries in the same manner as B (boron) and C. However, the excessive content is preferably 3 wt% or less because it reduces the creep strength.

C(炭素)は、粒界強化に寄与する。しかしながら、過度の含有量は延性を害するため0.3wt%以下が好ましい。   C (carbon) contributes to grain boundary strengthening. However, excessive content is preferably 0.3 wt% or less because it impairs ductility.

B(ホウ素)は、Cと同様に粒界強化に寄与する。しかしながら、過度の含有量は延性を害するため0.2wt%以下が好ましい。   B (boron), like C, contributes to grain boundary strengthening. However, excessive content is preferably 0.2 wt% or less because it impairs ductility.

Y(イットリウム)、La(ランタン)、Ce(セリウム)は、Ni基超合金を高温で使用中にアルミナ、クロミアなどを形成する保護酸化皮膜の密着性を向上させる。しかしながら、過度の含有量は他の元素の固溶限を低下させることになるためY:0.2wt%以下、La:0.2wt%%以下、Ce:0.2wt%以下が好ましい。   Y (yttrium), La (lanthanum), and Ce (cerium) improve the adhesion of a protective oxide film that forms alumina, chromia, and the like during use of a Ni-based superalloy at high temperatures. However, since excessive content will reduce the solid solubility limit of other elements, Y: 0.2 wt% or less, La: 0.2 wt% or less, and Ce: 0.2 wt% or less are preferable.

以上のような元素組成を有する本発明のNi基超合金は、鋳造することができる。そして、この鋳造に際しては、たとえば、普通鋳造法、一方向凝固法、あるいは単結晶凝固法によって多結晶合金、一方向凝固合金、あるいは単結晶合金としてNi基超合金を製造することができる。普通鋳造法は基本的に所望の組成に調合されたインゴットを用いて鋳造するが、鋳型温度を合金の凝固温度約1500℃以上に加熱しておき、超合金を鋳込んだ後に、例えば加熱炉から徐々に遠ざけて温度勾配を与え多数の結晶を一方向に成長させる方法である。単結晶凝固法は一方向凝固法とほぼ同様であるが所望の品物が凝固する手前でジグザクあるいは螺旋型のセレクター部を設け、一方向で凝固してきた多数の結晶をセレクター部で一つの結晶にし、所望の品物を製造する。   The Ni-base superalloy of the present invention having the above elemental composition can be cast. In this casting, for example, a Ni-base superalloy can be manufactured as a polycrystalline alloy, a unidirectionally solidified alloy, or a single crystal alloy by a normal casting method, a unidirectional solidification method, or a single crystal solidification method. The ordinary casting method basically uses an ingot prepared to have a desired composition, but the mold temperature is heated to a solidification temperature of the alloy of about 1500 ° C. or more, and after casting the superalloy, for example, a heating furnace In this method, a large number of crystals are grown in one direction by giving a temperature gradient gradually away from the substrate. The single crystal solidification method is almost the same as the unidirectional solidification method, but a zigzag or spiral type selector unit is provided before the desired product is solidified, and many crystals that have solidified in one direction are converted into one crystal in the selector unit. To produce the desired product.

本発明のNi基超合金は鋳造後に熱処理を施すことにより高クリープ強度が得られる。標準的な熱処理は、1260〜1300℃で20分〜2時間の予備熱処理を施した後に、1300〜1350℃を1050〜1150℃の温度域で2〜8時間加熱、空冷を行う。この処理は耐熱・耐酸化を目的としたコーティング処理と兼ねることが可能である。空冷した後、引き続きガンマプライム相安定化を目的とした2次時効処理を800〜900℃で10〜24時間実施した後、空冷の処理を行う。それぞれの空冷を不活性ガスに置き換えてもよい。この製造方法により作成されたNi基超合金によりガスタービンのタービンブレードあるいはタービンベーン等の高温部品が実現される。   The Ni-base superalloy of the present invention can have high creep strength by heat treatment after casting. In the standard heat treatment, after preliminary heat treatment at 1260 to 1300 ° C. for 20 minutes to 2 hours, 1300 to 1350 ° C. is heated in the temperature range of 1050 to 1150 ° C. for 2 to 8 hours and air-cooled. This treatment can be combined with a coating treatment for heat resistance and oxidation resistance. After air cooling, a secondary aging treatment for the purpose of stabilizing the gamma prime phase is subsequently performed at 800 to 900 ° C. for 10 to 24 hours, followed by air cooling. Each air cooling may be replaced with an inert gas. High temperature parts such as gas turbine turbine blades or turbine vanes are realized by the Ni-base superalloy produced by this manufacturing method.

表1の組成の異なる9種類の試料(No.1〜No.12)を用いて通常の方法で、単結晶に鋳造して溶体化処理及び時効処理を行った。溶体化処理としては、1300℃で1時間保持した後、1330℃まで昇温して5時間保持した。また、時効処理は1100℃で4時間保持する1次時効と、870℃で20時間保持する2次時効処理を行った。   Nine kinds of samples (No. 1 to No. 12) having different compositions shown in Table 1 were cast into a single crystal and subjected to a solution treatment and an aging treatment by an ordinary method. As a solution treatment, after holding at 1300 ° C. for 1 hour, the temperature was raised to 1330 ° C. and held for 5 hours. Moreover, the aging treatment performed the primary aging which hold | maintains at 1100 degreeC for 4 hours, and the secondary aging treatment which hold | maintains at 870 degreeC for 20 hours.

次に、溶体化処理及び時効処理を施した本実施例の試料に対してクリープ強度を測定した。クリープ試験は800℃−735MPa、900℃−392MPa、1000℃-245MPa 、1100℃−137MPaの条件で試料がクリープ破断するまでの時間を寿命とした。なお、実施例では組成の異なる9種類の試料(No.1〜No.12)を用いて行ったが、No.1〜No.12の試料では大きな差異はなく、図1では、この出願の発明における、No.5の試料を用いたクリープ試験結果とCMSX−4とを比較した結果をクリープ寿命で整理して示したものである。   Next, the creep strength was measured for the sample of this example that had undergone solution treatment and aging treatment. In the creep test, the lifetime was defined as the time until the specimen creep ruptured under the conditions of 800 ° C.-735 MPa, 900 ° C.-392 MPa, 1000 ° C.-245 MPa, 1100 ° C.-137 MPa. In the examples, nine types of samples (No. 1 to No. 12) having different compositions were used. However, the samples No. 1 to No. 12 were not significantly different, and FIG. The result which compared the creep test result using the sample of No. 5 and CMSX-4 in invention is arranged according to the creep life.

図1からも明らかなようにこの出願の発明のNi基超合金はCoを含まなくても第2世代Ni基単結晶合金として使用実績のあるCoが含有されているCMSX−4に比較しても同等以上の高いクリープ強度を有していることがわかる。   As is clear from FIG. 1, the Ni-base superalloy of the invention of this application is compared with CMSX-4, which does not contain Co and contains Co, which has been used as a second-generation Ni-base single crystal alloy. As can be seen from FIG.

この出願の発明で得られたコバルトフリーのNi基超合金として(表1のNo.5の組成のもの)を金属の成形において一般的に使用されている普通凝固法、単結晶凝固法および一方向凝固法を用いて、タービンブレードとタービンベーンを製造して、それぞれの物性を測定した。成形されたタービンブレードやタービンベーンは、いずれも長時間の高熱下でも組織安定性が高く、高温におけるクリープ特性が優れていることが確認された。   As the cobalt-free Ni-base superalloy obtained in the invention of this application (with the composition of No. 5 in Table 1), the normal solidification method, the single crystal solidification method, and the Turbine blades and turbine vanes were manufactured using the directional solidification method, and their physical properties were measured. It was confirmed that the molded turbine blades and turbine vanes had high structure stability even under high heat for a long time and excellent creep characteristics at high temperatures.

上記第1のNi基超合金の発明によれば、ジェットエンジンや発電用ガスタービンなどのタービンブレードやタービンベーンとして好適な中温部から高温部までバランスの良い合金を提供することが可能であり、特に半減期の長いCoを含まないことから原子力発電などの材料としての実用化が可能となる。すなわち、原子力発電等のタービンブレードやタービンベーンとして好適な長時間にわたり組織安定性が高く、高温におけるクリープ特性が優れたコバルトフリーのNi基超合金を製造することが可能となる。   According to the invention of the first Ni-base superalloy, it is possible to provide a well-balanced alloy from an intermediate temperature part to a high temperature part suitable as a turbine blade or turbine vane such as a jet engine or a power generation gas turbine, In particular, since it does not contain Co with a long half-life, it can be put to practical use as a material for nuclear power generation. That is, it becomes possible to produce a cobalt-free Ni-base superalloy having high structural stability over a long period of time suitable as a turbine blade or turbine vane for nuclear power generation and the like, and excellent creep characteristics at high temperatures.

上記第2のNi基超合金の発明によれば、上記効果に加えて、さらに組成を限定することにより、タービンブレードやタービンベーンとして、より好適な中温部から高温部までバランスの良い合金を提供することが可能となる。
上記第3〜第8のタービンブレードやタービンベーンの発明によれば、請求の範囲1または2で製造されるコバルトフリーのNi基超合金を普通凝固法、単結晶凝固法および一方向凝固法を用いて成形することにより、長時間にわたり組織安定性が高く、高温におけるクリープ特性が優れたタービンブレードまたはタービンベーン部品を製造することが可能となる。
According to the invention of the second Ni-base superalloy, in addition to the above effects, by further limiting the composition, an alloy having a good balance from the middle temperature part to the high temperature part more suitable as a turbine blade or turbine vane is provided. It becomes possible to do.
According to the above third to eighth turbine blades and turbine vanes, the cobalt-free Ni-base superalloy produced in claim 1 or 2 is subjected to a normal solidification method, a single crystal solidification method and a unidirectional solidification method. By using and molding, it becomes possible to produce a turbine blade or turbine vane component having high structure stability over a long period of time and excellent creep characteristics at high temperatures.
