Description
本發明是有關於一種高強度析出強化型鎳基合金及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種藉由熱加工處理以及時效處理,排除進行退火處理以及冷加工處理之析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法,以製得具有較高之強度並兼具延展性之析出強化型鎳基合金。 The present invention relates to a high-strength precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a precipitation-strengthened nickel-base alloy by annealing and aging treatment, excluding an annealing treatment and a cold working treatment. The method is to produce a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy having high strength and ductility.
析出強化型鎳基合金(例如:Alloy 718和A-286等),因兼具高溫強度高、抗高溫氧化能力強以及良好的抗腐蝕性,常使用於高溫機械性質的場合,例如:發動機組件、渦輪引擎緊固件、高溫軸承、加熱爐外罩或核電廠爐體等。鎳基合金的主要成分為鎳元素,其結構主要為面心立方結構,而由於添加如鋁、鈦及/或鈮等強化元素,故可利用時效處理等熱處理方法,析出Ll2結構之γ’相(Ni3(Ti,Al))以及DO22結構γ”相(Ni3Nb)。 Precipitation-enhanced nickel-based alloys (for example, Alloy 718 and A-286, etc.), because of their high temperature strength, high temperature oxidation resistance and good corrosion resistance, are often used in high temperature mechanical properties, such as engine components. , turbine engine fasteners, high temperature bearings, furnace enclosures or nuclear power plant furnaces. The main component of the nickel-based alloy is nickel, and its structure is mainly a face-centered cubic structure. Since a strengthening element such as aluminum, titanium, and/or tantalum is added, a heat treatment method such as aging treatment can be used to precipitate the γ' of the Ll 2 structure. Phase (Ni 3 (Ti, Al)) and DO 22 structure γ" phase (Ni 3 Nb).
一般而言,為將上述析出強化型鎳基合金應用於高強度需求之領域(例如:採礦業或鑽油業),一般品級規 範之機械性質不敷使用(一般品級之規範為不小於1214MPa之抗拉強度、不小於1034MPa之降伏強度以及不小於12%的伸長率),故會在製程中進行退火處理和冷加工處理,以使析出強化型鎳基合金的強度可進一步提升,至高強度鎳基合金之目標為不大於1670MPa之抗拉強度、不小於1400MPa之降伏強度以及不小於10%的伸長率。 In general, in order to apply the above-mentioned precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy to the field of high-strength demand (for example, mining or oil drilling), general grade gauge Fan's mechanical properties are not enough (the general grade specification is not less than 1214MPa tensile strength, not less than 1034MPa, and not less than 12% elongation), so it will be annealed and cold processed in the process, The strength of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy can be further improved, and the target of the high-strength nickel-based alloy is a tensile strength of not more than 1670 MPa, a relief strength of not less than 1400 MPa, and an elongation of not less than 10%.
然而,上述方法不僅製程步驟繁複、製造成本高,所製得之析出強化型鎳基合金由於製程裕度小,僅能用於一般工業應用的需求。 However, the above method not only has complicated process steps and high manufacturing cost, but the precipitated strengthened nickel-based alloy produced can be used only for general industrial applications due to small process margin.
因此,目前亟需提出一種析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法,其可省略習知的退火處理和冷加工處理,製得兼具強度與延展性的析出強化型鎳基合金,以符合高強度應用的需求。 Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for producing a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy, which can omit the conventional annealing treatment and cold working treatment, and obtain a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy having both strength and ductility to meet high-strength applications. Demand.
因此,本發明之一態樣是在提供一種析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法,其可省略習知的退火處理和冷加工處理,製得兼具強度與延展性的析出強化型鎳基合金,故本發明之製造方法具有較低的生產成本,且能具有較佳的製程裕度(即強化至相同強度時還可保持較高之延展性)。 Accordingly, an aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy which can omit a conventional annealing treatment and a cold working treatment to obtain a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy having both strength and ductility.

本發明之一態樣是在提供一種析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法,其係對特定組成之合金胚,施予特定最終溫度和總裁減率之熱加工處理以及特定溫度之時效處理,以製得兼具強度和延展性的析出強化型鎳基合金,其符合高強度應用需求的規範。特別是,本發明之製造方法省略習知的退火處理和冷加工處理,從而可簡化製程步驟、降低製造成本並增加製程裕度。 An aspect of the present invention provides a method for producing a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy which is subjected to a heat treatment process for a specific final temperature and a presidential reduction rate, and a aging treatment at a specific temperature for a specific composition of the alloy embryo. A precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy that combines strength and ductility, which meets the specifications for high-strength applications. In particular, the manufacturing method of the present invention omits the conventional annealing treatment and cold working treatment, thereby simplifying the process steps, reducing the manufacturing cost, and increasing the process margin.
本發明此處所稱之最終溫度可例如為完軋溫度或完鍛溫度。 The final temperature referred to herein as the final temperature may be, for example, the finishing temperature or the finishing temperature.
本發明此處所稱之高強度應用需求即例如將析出強化型鎳基合金應用於採礦或鑽油業等工具上,其規範之適用的強度以及延展性為不大於1670MPa之抗拉強度、不小於1400MPa之降伏強度以及不小於10%的伸長率。 The high-strength application demand referred to in the present invention is, for example, the application of a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy to tools such as mining or oil drilling, and the applicable strength and ductility of the specification are tensile strengths of not more than 1670 MPa, not less than The 1400 MPa drop strength and the elongation of not less than 10%.
本發明此處所稱之製程裕度係指藉由本發明之製造方法,可同時提升析出強化型鎳基合金的強度以及延展性,故可符合高強度場合之應用需求。 The process margin referred to in the present invention means that the strength and ductility of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy can be simultaneously improved by the manufacturing method of the present invention, so that it can meet the application requirements of high-strength applications.
本發明此處所稱之合金胚可包括下述成分:10重量百分比(wt.%)至25wt.%之鉻、5wt.%至60wt.%之鐵、0.01wt.%至0.1wt.%之碳、0.2wt.%至1.2wt. %之鋁、0.5wt.%至2.0wt.%之鈦、4.0wt.%至6.0wt.%之鈮、1.0wt.%至8.0wt.%之鉬、小於5wt.%之其他少量元素以及餘量的鎳,且鎳至少為22wt.%。 The alloy embryo referred to herein as the invention may include the following components: 10% by weight (wt.%) to 25 wt.% chromium, 5 wt.% to 60 wt.% iron, 0.01 wt.% to 0.1 wt.% carbon. 0.2wt.% to 1.2wt. % aluminum, 0.5 wt.% to 2.0 wt.% titanium, 4.0 wt.% to 6.0 wt.%, 1.0 wt.% to 8.0 wt.% molybdenum, less than 5 wt.% other minor elements and A quantity of nickel and a nickel content of at least 22 wt.%.
在一實施例中,上述少量元素可包含鈷、矽、銅、硼、錳或上述之任意組合。 In one embodiment, the minor elements described above may comprise cobalt, ruthenium, copper, boron, manganese, or any combination of the foregoing.
合金胚中的鎳元素可提供所製得之析出強化型鎳基合金的耐腐蝕性,特別是針對應力腐蝕或硫化物應力腐蝕。此外,鎳可與鈮、鋁及/或鈦形成強韌化之析出相組織,以增加析出強化型鎳基合金的強度。因此,倘若合金胚中的鎳元素過少,則析出強化型鎳基合金無法達到預定的強度,且耐腐蝕性較差。 The nickel element in the alloy embryo provides corrosion resistance of the resulting precipitation strengthened nickel-based alloy, particularly for stress corrosion or sulfide stress corrosion. Further, nickel may form a toughened precipitation phase structure with bismuth, aluminum, and/or titanium to increase the strength of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy. Therefore, if the amount of nickel in the alloy embryo is too small, the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy cannot achieve a predetermined strength and is inferior in corrosion resistance.
上述鉻元素可提供析出強化型鎳基合金之耐腐蝕性,因此若合金胚中的鉻元素過少,析出強化型鎳基合金耐腐蝕性不佳。另一方面,過多的鉻元素會影響合金胚的熱穩定性和延展性,故鉻元素含量以本發明主張之範圍為較佳。 The above-mentioned chromium element can provide the corrosion resistance of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy. Therefore, if the chromium element in the alloy embryo is too small, the precipitation-enhanced nickel-based alloy is inferior in corrosion resistance. On the other hand, excessive chromium element affects the thermal stability and ductility of the alloy embryo, so the chromium content is preferably within the scope of the present invention.
承前所述,鈮元素可與鎳元素形成強韌化相組織,於時效處理中,有助於析出強化型鎳基合金的強度之提升,使析出強化型鎳基合金可兼具強度和延展性。然而,過多的鈮元素易於鑄造時大量偏析,造成晶粒不均勻而難以加工。 As mentioned above, the lanthanum element can form a toughened phase structure with nickel. In the aging treatment, it contributes to the improvement of the strength of the reinforced nickel-based alloy, so that the precipitation-enhanced nickel-based alloy can have both strength and ductility. . However, too much bismuth element is prone to large segregation during casting, resulting in uneven grain and difficult processing.
上述之鈦元素和鋁元素有助於提升析出強化型鎳基合金的強度。但過多的鈦元素和鋁元素不利於鎳基合金基體之穩定性,故鈦元素和鋁元素以本發明主張之含量範圍 為宜。 The above-mentioned titanium element and aluminum element contribute to the improvement of the strength of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy. However, excessive titanium and aluminum elements are not conducive to the stability of the nickel-based alloy matrix, so the titanium element and the aluminum element are in the range of content claimed by the present invention. It is appropriate.
碳元素具有固溶強化作用,適量的碳可提高析出強化型鎳基合金的強度。然而,倘若碳元素的含量過多,將導致析出強化型鎳基合金的耐腐蝕性劣化。 The carbon element has a solid solution strengthening effect, and an appropriate amount of carbon can increase the strength of the precipitation strengthened nickel base alloy. However, if the content of the carbon element is too large, the corrosion resistance of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy is deteriorated.
上述鉬元素可提升析出強化型鎳基合金之耐點蝕、縫蝕等局部腐蝕之能力,特別是提升於鹵素離子或還原性介質中的耐腐蝕性。然而,過多的鉬元素也會造成合金胚的熱穩定性和延展性不佳。 The above-mentioned molybdenum element can enhance the ability of the precipitation-enhanced nickel-based alloy to resist local corrosion such as pitting corrosion and seam corrosion, in particular, corrosion resistance in a halogen ion or a reducing medium. However, excessive molybdenum also causes poor thermal stability and ductility of the alloy embryo.
上述之鈷、矽、銅、硼、錳等少量元素易於在析出強化型鎳基合金中形成有害相(例如脆性較高的相),或增加生產成本,因此上述微量元素的含量以不超過5wt.%為佳。 The above-mentioned small elements such as cobalt, ruthenium, copper, boron, manganese, etc. are liable to form a harmful phase (for example, a phase having a high brittleness) in the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy, or increase the production cost, so the content of the above trace elements is not more than 5 wt. .% is better.
在一實施例中,上述合金胚可利用包含前述成分的合金材料,經過熔煉處理和精煉處理而製得。具體而言,熔煉處理可包含燃料加熱爐熔煉、非真空電爐熔煉(Electric Arc Furnace;EAF)、真空感應爐熔煉(Vacuum Induction Melting;VIM)或真空電弧熔煉(Vacuum Arc Melting;VAM)。而精煉處理可包含氬氣吹氧脫碳(Argon Oxygen Decarburization;AOD)處理、真空吹氧脫碳(Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization;VOD)處理、電渣重熔(Electroslag Remelting;ESR)處理或電弧重熔(Vacuum Arc Remelting;VAR)處理。 In one embodiment, the alloy embryo may be obtained by an smelting treatment and a refining treatment using an alloy material containing the foregoing components. Specifically, the smelting treatment may include fuel heating furnace smelting, electric vacuum furnace melting (EAF), vacuum induction furnace melting (VIM), or vacuum arc melting (VAM). The refining treatment may include Argon Oxygen Decarburization (AOD) treatment, Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization (VOD) treatment, Electroslag Remelting (ESR) treatment or arc remelting ( Vacuum Arc Remelting; VAR) treatment.
接下來依序說明本發明之析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法。 Next, a method for producing the precipitation-strengthened nickel-base alloy of the present invention will be described in order.
1.熱加工處理1. Thermal processing
在一實施例中,首先將前述之特定組成的合金胚進行熱加工處理,以形成熱加工合金材。具體而言,熱加工處理可為熱軋或熱鍛。熱加工處理之最終溫度以不大於完全再結晶溫度為宜,本發明主張之合金胚的完全再結晶溫度為大於1050℃。較佳地,熱加工處理可具有850℃至1050℃之最終溫度,以及35%以上之總裁減率。在一較佳的例子中,熱加工處理的總裁減率可為35%至80%。 In one embodiment, the alloy embryo of the specific composition described above is first subjected to a hot working treatment to form a hot worked alloy material. Specifically, the hot working treatment may be hot rolling or hot forging. The final temperature of the thermal processing is preferably not more than the complete recrystallization temperature, and the complete recrystallization temperature of the alloy embryo claimed in the present invention is greater than 1050 °C. Preferably, the thermal processing may have a final temperature of 850 ° C to 1050 ° C and a presidential reduction of more than 35%. In a preferred embodiment, the president's reduction rate for thermal processing may range from 35% to 80%.
在一例子中,上述熱加工合金材為線材,其總裁減率可利用下式(I)計算:總裁減率=(A0-Af)/A0×100% (I) In one example, the hot-worked alloy material is a wire, and its presidential reduction rate can be calculated by the following formula (I): presidential reduction rate = (A 0 -A f ) / A 0 × 100% (I)
其中A0代表作為合金胚原始的截面積(可例如為圓柱狀胚或其他形狀之合金胚),Af代表熱加工後合金材之線材的截面積。 Wherein A 0 represents the original cross-sectional area of the alloy embryo (which may be, for example, a cylindrical embryo or other shaped alloy embryo), and A f represents the cross-sectional area of the wire of the alloy material after hot working.
本發明之熱加工處理,可透過特定的最終溫度以及總裁減率,使得熱加工合金材具有較小的晶粒(例如小於20μm)和高差排密度,以達到細晶強化以及加工硬化的效果。進一步而言,根據如式(II)所示之霍爾-佩奇方程式(Hall-Petch relation)可了解,當晶粒越小時,晶界的表 面積越大,而晶界可阻礙差排的移動,因此細化晶粒可提高熱加工合金材的強度。 The hot working process of the present invention can pass through a specific final temperature and a presidential reduction rate, so that the hot-worked alloy material has smaller crystal grains (for example, less than 20 μm) and high differential discharge density to achieve fine grain strengthening and work hardening effect. . Further, according to the Hall-Petch relation as shown in the formula (II), it can be understood that when the crystal grains are smaller, the grain boundary table The larger the area, the grain boundary can hinder the movement of the difference row, so refining the grains can increase the strength of the hot-worked alloy material.
降伏應力(Yield Stress)=σ0+kD-1/2 (II) Yield Stress = σ 0 +kD -1/2 (II)
其中σ0代表摩擦應力,k代表鎖定參數(Locking Parameter),以及D代表晶粒大小。 Where σ 0 represents the frictional stress, k represents the locking parameter, and D represents the grain size.
此外,根據式(III)之關係式,熱加工處理所產生的應變量(例如本發明此處所稱之總裁減率),與差排密度成正相關。在不高於完全再結晶溫度之處理溫度下進行本發明之熱加工處理時,合金胚發生塑性變形,使得晶粒扭曲而差排密度增加,從而使所得之熱加工合金材的強度增加但延展性下降。 Further, according to the relationship of the formula (III), the amount of strain generated by the hot working treatment (for example, the presidential reduction rate referred to herein as the present invention) is positively correlated with the difference in the density of the rows. When the hot working treatment of the present invention is carried out at a treatment temperature not higher than the complete recrystallization temperature, the alloy embryo is plastically deformed, so that the crystal grains are twisted and the differential discharge density is increased, so that the strength of the obtained hot-worked alloy material is increased but extended. Sexual decline.
△τ=Gαbρ1/2 (III) △τ=Gαbρ 1/2 (III)
其中△τ代表加工應變量,G代表剪力模數(Shear Modulus),α為常數,b代表伯格斯矢量(Burgers vector),以及ρ代表差排密度。 Where Δτ represents the processing strain, G represents the Shear Modulus, α is a constant, b represents a Burgers vector, and ρ represents the difference density.
因此,倘若熱加工處理的最終溫度低於850℃,則熱加工合金材的延展性不足。另一方面,倘若熱加工處理的最終溫度高於1050℃,會引發完全再結晶而影響差排密度,進而降低析出強化型鎳基合金的強度。此外,倘若上述總裁減量低於35%,會使得熱加工合金材之差排密度增加量不足,進而降低合金的強度。而當總裁減量達80%,繼續增加總裁減量會導致合金的強度過高但延展性不足。 Therefore, if the final temperature of the hot working treatment is lower than 850 ° C, the ductility of the hot worked alloy material is insufficient. On the other hand, if the final temperature of the hot working treatment is higher than 1050 ° C, complete recrystallization is caused to affect the poor discharge density, and the strength of the precipitation strengthened nickel-based alloy is further lowered. In addition, if the above-mentioned president's reduction is less than 35%, the increase in the differential density of the hot-worked alloy material will be insufficient, thereby reducing the strength of the alloy. When the president reduces the amount by 80%, continuing to increase the president's reduction will lead to excessive strength of the alloy but insufficient ductility.
此外,本發明也排除在熱加工處理前,進行長時間(例如24小時至72小時)、回溶偏析成分的高溫(高於完 全再結晶溫度)均勻化處理。上述均勻化處理雖可增加鎳基合金的延伸率,但同時會降低其強度、使製程時間延長,並提高成本。 In addition, the present invention also excludes the high temperature (higher than the end of the segregation of the segregated component for a long time (for example, 24 hours to 72 hours) before the hot working treatment. Full recrystallization temperature) homogenization treatment. Although the above homogenization treatment can increase the elongation of the nickel-based alloy, it simultaneously reduces the strength, lengthens the process time, and increases the cost.
2.時效處理2. Aging treatment
接著,對熱加工合金材進行時效處理。本發明此處所稱之時效處理可包含第一階段時效處理以及第二階段時效處理。第一階段時效處理可於690℃至750℃下進行6小時至10小時。第二階段時效處理可於590℃至650℃下進行2小時至14小時。在一較佳的例子中,第一階段時效處理可於690℃至740℃下進行,而第二階段時效處理可於590℃至620℃下進行。 Next, the hot worked alloy material is subjected to aging treatment. The aging treatment referred to herein as the invention may include a first stage aging treatment and a second stage aging treatment. The first stage aging treatment can be carried out at 690 ° C to 750 ° C for 6 hours to 10 hours. The second stage aging treatment can be carried out at 590 ° C to 650 ° C for 2 hours to 14 hours. In a preferred embodiment, the first stage aging treatment can be carried out at 690 ° C to 740 ° C, and the second stage aging treatment can be carried out at 590 ° C to 620 ° C.
在一例子中,第一階段時效處理可例如以爐冷進行,而第二階段時效處理可例如以空冷進行,然僅以達到本發明主張之溫度範圍為宜,並不限定於特定的處理環境。 In an example, the first stage aging treatment can be performed, for example, by furnace cooling, and the second stage aging treatment can be performed, for example, by air cooling, but only to achieve the temperature range claimed by the present invention, and is not limited to a specific processing environment. .
在一實施例中,上述第一階段時效處理與第二階段時效處理之間更包含冷卻處理,其係將熱加工合金材從690℃至750℃冷卻為590℃至650℃。在一較佳的例子中,冷卻處理之冷卻速度可為80℃/小時至150℃/小時。冷卻速度若低於80℃/小時,所製得之鎳基合金的強度不足。 In one embodiment, the first stage aging treatment and the second stage aging treatment further comprise a cooling treatment for cooling the hot worked alloy material from 690 ° C to 750 ° C to 590 ° C to 650 ° C. In a preferred embodiment, the cooling rate of the cooling treatment may range from 80 ° C / hour to 150 ° C / hour. If the cooling rate is lower than 80 ° C / hour, the strength of the obtained nickel-based alloy is insufficient.
本發明之時效處理採取二階段式,且處理溫度範圍不同的時效處理,以避免熱加工合金材於時效處理的過程中產生有害相(如前述之脆性較高的相)。因此,倘若以同一溫度持續進行長時間的時效處理、各階段的處理時間過長 或是處理溫度過高,所製得之析出強化型鎳基合金的脆性增加,造成延展性下降。另一方面,倘若上述各階段的時間過短,或是處理溫度過低,則無法發揮時效處理之強化作用,所製得之析出強化型鎳基合金無法達到預定的強度。 The aging treatment of the present invention adopts a two-stage type and an aging treatment with different temperature ranges to avoid the occurrence of harmful phases (such as the aforementioned brittle phase) of the hot-worked alloy material during the aging treatment. Therefore, if the long-term aging treatment is continued at the same temperature, the processing time of each stage is too long. Or, if the treatment temperature is too high, the brittleness of the precipitated reinforced nickel-based alloy obtained increases, resulting in a decrease in ductility. On the other hand, if the time in each of the above stages is too short or the treatment temperature is too low, the strengthening effect of the aging treatment cannot be exerted, and the obtained precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy cannot achieve a predetermined strength.
特別說明的是,本發明之一技術特徵在於,省略習知技術於前述熱加工處理以及時效處理之間的退火處理以及冷加工處理,直接進行時效處理,以製得兼具強度以及延展性的析出強化型鎳基合金。因此,本發明簡化習知製程的繁瑣步驟、降低生產成本,且提高製程裕度以及產能。 In particular, one of the technical features of the present invention is to omit the annealing treatment and the cold processing between the thermal processing and the aging treatment by the prior art, and directly perform the aging treatment to obtain the precipitation having both strength and ductility. Reinforced nickel-based alloy. Therefore, the present invention simplifies the cumbersome steps of the conventional process, reduces the production cost, and increases the process margin and productivity.

1.強度Intensity
1-1.抗拉強度1-1. Tensile strength
本發明之抗拉強度係於25℃下進行標準測試方法ASTM E112之拉伸試驗而得。上述抗拉強度不大於1670MPa。 The tensile strength of the present invention is obtained by performing a tensile test of the standard test method ASTM E112 at 25 °C. The above tensile strength is not more than 1670 MPa.
1-2.降伏強度1-2. Falling strength
本發明之降伏強度係於25℃下進行標準測試方法ASTM E112之拉伸試驗而得。上述降伏強度不小於1400MPa。 The lodging strength of the present invention is obtained by performing a tensile test of the standard test method ASTM E112 at 25 °C. The above-mentioned lodging strength is not less than 1400 MPa.

根據表2可知,將特定組成之合金胚進行本發明之熱加工處理和時效處理後,可製得符合高強度應用需求的兼具強度以及延展性的析出強化型鎳基合金。特別是,當熱加工處理之完軋溫度較高時(例如本發明之實施例3)或總裁減率較大(例如本發明之實施例4)時,析出強化型鎳基合金的強度與延展性可進一步提升。再者,如實施例8所示,進一步進行精整處理,也可小幅度地提高析出強化型鎳基合金的強度。 According to Table 2, after the alloy preform of a specific composition is subjected to the hot working treatment and the aging treatment of the present invention, a precipitation-strengthened nickel-base alloy having strength and ductility which meets the requirements for high-strength applications can be obtained. In particular, when the finishing temperature of the hot working treatment is high (for example, Example 3 of the present invention) or the president has a large reduction rate (for example, Example 4 of the present invention), the strength and elongation of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy Sex can be further improved. Further, as shown in Example 8, by further performing the finishing treatment, the strength of the precipitation-strengthened nickel-base alloy can be increased to a small extent.
另一方面,根據表3可知,倘若未進行本發明主張之特定完軋溫度以及總裁減率的熱加工處理,即使進行退火處理,所得之鎳基合金無法達到預定強度。進一步而言,即使為了增加強度而額外進行時效處理,甚至更進行冷加工處理,雖可保有適當的伸長率,但強度仍然不符合高強度應用需求的規範。若為提升強度而增加冷加工的裁減率,則會 犧牲鎳基合金的延展性。此外,額外進行退火處理以及冷加工處理,增加製程的繁複性並且提高鎳基合金的製造成本。 On the other hand, according to Table 3, the obtained nickel-based alloy could not reach a predetermined strength even if the annealing treatment was carried out without performing the heat treatment of the specific finish rolling temperature and the presidential reduction rate claimed in the present invention. Further, even if the aging treatment is additionally performed for the purpose of increasing the strength, or even the cold working treatment is performed, although the appropriate elongation can be maintained, the strength still does not meet the specifications for the high-strength application. If the reduction rate of cold working is increased to increase the strength, Sacrifice the ductility of nickel-based alloys. In addition, additional annealing and cold working are performed to increase the complexity of the process and increase the manufacturing cost of the nickel-based alloy.
再者,如比較例8所示,若時效處理之溫度高於本發明之主張,鎳基合金也無法達到預定的強度和延展性。 Further, as shown in Comparative Example 8, if the temperature of the aging treatment is higher than that of the present invention, the nickel-based alloy cannot achieve the predetermined strength and ductility.
接著,請參考圖1A和圖1B,其中圖1A係繪示本發明之實施例1之析出強化型鎳基合金的微組織之電子顯微鏡,而圖1B係繪示本發明之比較例5的鎳基合金之微組織之電子顯微鏡。如圖1A所示,經過特定條件之熱加工處理以及時效處理而得之析出強化型鎳基合金,具有約為4.5μm之晶粒尺寸。而圖1B所示之晶粒尺寸約為8.6μm,明顯大於本發明之實施例1的晶粒。據此可知,本發明藉由特定之熱加工處理條件,達到細化晶粒,進而可提升加工強度的功效。 1A and FIG. 1B, FIG. 1A is an electron microscope showing the microstructure of the precipitation-enhanced nickel-base alloy according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a view showing the nickel of Comparative Example 5 of the present invention. Electron microscopy of the microstructure of the base alloy. As shown in FIG. 1A, the precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy obtained by the hot working treatment and the aging treatment under specific conditions has a crystal grain size of about 4.5 μm. The grain size shown in Fig. 1B is about 8.6 μm, which is significantly larger than that of the embodiment 1 of the present invention. It can be seen from the above that the present invention achieves the effect of refining the crystal grains by specific heat processing conditions, thereby improving the processing strength.
綜合上述,應用本發明之析出強化型鎳基合金的製造方法,可不進行習知的退火處理以及冷加工處理,藉由特定製程條件的熱加工處理以及時效處理,製得兼具強度以及延展性之析出強化型鎳基合金。因此本發明之製造方法不僅簡化習知技術繁複的製程步驟、降低生產成本,且其製程裕度大。 In summary, the method for producing a precipitation-strengthened nickel-based alloy according to the present invention can be combined with a conventional annealing treatment and a cold working treatment, and can be combined with a heat treatment process and an aging treatment of a specific process condition to obtain both strength and ductility. A strengthened nickel-based alloy is precipitated. Therefore, the manufacturing method of the present invention not only simplifies the complicated process steps of the prior art, reduces the production cost, but also has a large process margin.
