Description
- The present invention relates to an improved single crystal nickel base superalloy having a pore-free, eutectic γ-γ′ free microstructure with a modified gamma-prime morphology and to a process for making the improved nickel base superalloy.
- Mechanical property tests of cast nickel-base superalloys have shown substantial deleterious effects when conducted in high pressure gaseous hydrogen environments. These effects include reductions in tensile ductility and strength, fatigue and accelerated crack growth rates. Thus, there is a need to develop a nickel base superalloy which avoids these deleterious effects.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved single crystal nickel base superalloy which is pore-free and eutectic γ-γ′ free.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a nickel-base superalloy which has a modified gamma-prime morphology with a bimodal γ′ distribution.
- It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a method for providing the above improved single crystal nickel base superalloy.
- The foregoing objects are attained by the single crystal nickel base superalloy and the process of the present invention.
- In accordance with the present invention, a single crystal nickel base superalloy is provided which has a pore free, eutectic γ-γ′ free microstructure with a modified gamma prime morphology having a bimodal γ′ distribution. The nickel base superalloy has a composition comprising 3.0-12 wt % chromium, up to 3.0 wt % molybdenum, 3.0 to 10 wt % tungsten, up to 5.0 wt % rhenium, 6.0 to 12 wt % tantalum, 4.0 to 7.0 wt % aluminum, up to 15 wt % cobalt, up to 0.05 wt % carbon, up to 0.02 wt % boron, up to0.1 wt % zirconium, up to 0.8 wt % hafnium, up to 2.0 wt % niobium, up to 1.0 wt % vanadium, up to 0.7 wt % titanium, up to 10 wt % of at least one of ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum, rhodium, and mixtures thereof, and the balance essentially nickel.
- A process for producing the nickel base alloy broadly comprises casting an object formed from a single crystal nickel base alloy, subjecting the cast object to hot isostatic processing to close any as-cast microporosity and to provide partial solutioning of any eutectic γ-γ′ phase islands, solution heat treating the cast object to fully solution the eutectic γ-γ′ phase and to precipitate a uniform distribution of large octet shaped γ′ particles and precipitation heat treating the solution treated cast object to form a second and uniform distribution of fine cuboidal γ′ particles. By performing the aforementioned process, one achieves the microstructure design of the present invention without incipient melting or recrystallizing the nickel base superalloy during processing.

- In accordance with the present invention, a cast object, such as a cast turbine component, is formed by casting in single crystal form a nickel base superalloy. The nickel-base superalloy preferably has a composition comprising 3.0 to 12 wt % chromium, up to 3.0 wt % molybdenum, 3.0 to 10 wt % tungsten, up to 5.0 wt % rhenium, 6.0 to 12 wt % tantalum, 4.0 to 7.0 wt % aluminum, up to 15 wt % cobalt, up to 0.05 wt %, carbon, up to 0.02 wt % boron, up to 0.1 wt % zirconium, up to 0.8 wt % hafnium, up to 2.0 wt % niobium, up to 1.0 wt % vanadium, up to 0.7 wt % titanium, up to 10 wt % of at least one element selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, platinum, and mixtures thereof, and the balance essentially nickel. The casting step may be carried out using any suitable single crystal casting technique known in the art. For example, the techniques shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,700,023; 3,763,926; 4,190,094; and 4,719,080, which are all incorporated herein by reference, may be utilized.
- Following casting, the cast object is subjected to hot isostatic processing to close any as-cast microporosity and to partially solution the eutectic γ-γ′ phase islands. The hot isostatic processing may be carried out in any suitable furnace known in the art. An argon or other inert gas atmosphere is provided within the furnace to prevent any environmental interaction between the cast object and the atmosphere. The hot isostatic processing is carried out at a final temperature in the range of from 2145° F. to 2625° F., preferably from 2195° F. to 2565° F., for a time period in the range of from 3.5 hours to 4.5 hours, at a pressure in the range of from 13 ksi to 16.5 ksi, preferably from 14 ksi to 16 ksi, according to the following schedule. The cast object is brought from room temperature, approximately 70° F., to a first temperature in the range of from 2075° F. to 2550° F., preferably from 2115° F. to 2485° F., at a rate of from about 5.4 to 6.6° F./min., preferably from 5.5 to 6.5° F./min. The cast object is then brought from the first temperature to a second temperature in the range of from 2125° F. to 2595° F., preferably from 2170° F. to 2550° F., at a rate of from about 0.4 to 0.6° F./min., preferably from 0.45 to 0.55° F./min. Thereafter, the cast object is brought from the second temperature to a final temperature at a rate of 0.05 to 0.15° F./min. and held at the final temperature for the aforesaid time period. After the time period has elapsed, the cast object is allowed to cool from the final temperature. With regard to the pressure that is applied while the cast object is being heated, the pressure within the furnace is raised from substantially 0 psi to a first pressure in the range of from 4.5 to 5.5 ksi, preferably 4.6 to 5.4 ksi at a rate in the range of 0.01 ksi/min. The pressure is then raised from the first pressure to a final pressure in the range of from about 13.5 ksi to 16.5 ksi, preferably from 14 ksi to 16 ksi, at a rate of about 0.03 ksi/min. The final pressure is then held for a time period of from 2.5 hours to 3.5 hours, preferably 2.75 hours to 3.25 hours, before being relieved. The foregoing schedule is utilized to minimize any potential for recrystallization during the hot isostatic processing. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a typical microstructure as-cast and following the hot isostatic processing step respectively.
- Following the hot isostatic processing, the cast object is solution heated treated to fully solution the eutectic γ-γ′ phase and to precipitate a uniform distribution of large octet shaped γ′ particles which act to impede preferential cracking in the γ matrix phase. During the solution heat treatment, the cast object is taken from room temperature, approximately 70° F., to an initial temperature in the range of from 1625° F. to 2000° F., preferably from 1650° F. to 1950° F., at a temperature ramp rate in the range of from 30° F./min. to 40° F./min., preferably from 33° F./min. to 37° F./min. After reaching the initial temperature, the cast object is taken from the initial temperature to a second temperature in the range of 2075° F. to 2525° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of 7.5° F./min. to 9.0° F./min., from the second temperature to a third temperature in the range of from 2100° F. to 2575° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of 1.0° F./min. to 2.0° F./min., from the third temperature to a fourth temperature in the range of from 2130° F. to 2600° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of from 0.9° F./min. to 1.1° F./min., from the fourth temperature to a fifth temperature in the range of from 2145° F. to 2625° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of from 0.4° F./min. to 0.6° F./min., from the fifth temperature to a sixth temperature in the range of from 2150° F. to 2650° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of from 0.2° F./min. to 0.4° F./min., and from the sixth temperature to a seventh temperature in the range of from 2190° F. to 2675° F. at a temperature ramp rate in the range of 0.15° F./min. to 0.25° F./min. The cast object is held at the seventh temperature for a time period in the range of 5 hours to 6.5 hours. Thereafter, the temperature of the cast object is dropped from the seventh temperature to an eighth temperature in the range of from 1975° F. to 2425° F. at a cool down rate of 0.9° F./min. to 1.1° F./min. and then from the eighth temperature to room temperature at a minimum cooling rate in the range of from 100° F./min. to 125° F./min. The solution heat treatment described above may be carried out using any suitable furnace or oven known in the art and any suitable atmosphere.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a typical microstructure following a solution heat treatment in accordance with the present invention. The microstructure of the solution treated cast object contains large γ′ particles having an average particle size in the range of from 1.0μ to 20μ in a continuous gamma matrix. The large γ′ particles will occupy from 25 vol % to 50 vol %, preferably from 27 vol % to 45 vol %, of the volume of the cast object. The microstructure of the solution treated cast object will also have γ′ arrays, which are coherent and/or non-coherent.
- Following the solution heat treatment, the cast object is subjected to a precipitation heat treatment to create a second and uniform distribution of fine cuboidal γ′ particles for providing strength. The fine γ′ particles have an average particle size in the range of from 0.45μ to 0.55μ. The precipitation heat treatment comprises heating the cast object to a treatment temperature in the range of from 1175° F. to 1450° F., preferably from 1200° F. to 1400° F., holding the cast object at the treatment temperature for a time period in the range of from 20 hours to 30 hours, preferably from 22 hours to 26 hours, and then air cooling the cast object. The precipitation heat treatment may be carried out using any suitable furnace/oven known in the art and any suitable atmosphere. FIG. 4 shows a typical microstructure following the precipitation heat treatment. As can be seen from this figure, the single crystal nickel base superalloy cast object has been provided with a microstructure which is pore-free, and eutectic γ-γ′ free, and which has a gamma prime morphology with a bimodal γ′ distribution.
