Definitions
- ingot castings of cobaltand nickel-base alloys to avoid cracking thereof; prior to working the casting is surrounded with an envelope of mild steel to form an assembly that is heated to an elevated temperature and subjected to fluid-pressure compacting to bond the envelope to the casting; thereafter, the assembly is hot worked to the desired mill product form, and at the completion of hot working the envelope is removed.
- These alloys have a hot working range of 200 F or less. If these alloys are processed above the hot-working limit, the matrix strengthening elements will be taken into solution and thereafter during cooling form intermetallic compounds rather than remain present in the matrix to achieve the desired strengthening effect. On the other hand, and more importantly, if these alloys are hotworked at a temperature below the hot-working range, cracking during hot working, and particularly hot rolling, will result. Cracking is particularly prevalent at the corners of the workpiece during working, because these areas cool preferentially to the remainder of the workpiece.
- an object of the present invention to provide a practice for hot working castings of alloys of this type that avoids cracking during working if the temperature falls below the customary hot-working range.

- FIG. 3 is a schematic showing of a cross-section of an ingot with an envelope bonded thereto by isostatic compacting in accordance with this invention and prior to hot working;
- FIG. 4 is a schematic showing of a cross-section of the ingot and envelope of FIG. 3 after hot-working
- FIG. 5 is a photograph of a cross-section of an ingot and envelope bonded in accordance with the invention and prior to hot working;
- FIG. 6 is a photograph ofa cross-section of the ingot and envelope of FIG. 5 after hot working.
- castings which may typically be ingot castings, of cobaltand nickel-base alloys are enclosed in an envelope of an iron-base alloy, which may typically be mild steel.
- the resulting assembly is heated to an elevated temperature at which hot working is to be effected.
- elevated temperature the assembly is isostatically compacted at a combination of pressure and temperature to produce a bond between the envelope and the casting.
- the assembly is then hot worked at elevated temperature.
- conditioning techniques such as grinding or a combination of grinding and acid pickling.
- the envelope is provided with a stem or other means for connecting the interior of the same to an evacuation means such as a pump; during the early stages of heating to compacting temperature the interior of the envelope is evacuated to remove gasification products, which principally are oxides which have volatilized during heating. In this manner, a relatively oxide-free casting and envelope surface are provided to facilitate bonding during subsequent isostatic compacting. After evacuation, and prior to compacting, the envelope is sealed against the atmosphere.
- an evacuation means such as a pump
- hot working of the assembly will include forging followed by at least one but generally a plurality of hot-rolling operations.
- Isostatic compacting to achieve a bond may be effected by the use of any fluid-pressure compacting apparatus; however, it is preferred to use a gas-pressure vessel, commonly termed an autoclave, which may be of the type disclosed in Boyer U.S. Pat. No. 3,543,345.
- a gas-pressure vessel commonly termed an autoclave, which may be of the type disclosed in Boyer U.S. Pat. No. 3,543,345.
- the ingot was first conditioned to remove surface oxide scale and then placed in a mild steel tube having an interior diameter of 12 inches and a wall thickness of one-fourth inch.
- a bottom plate of mild steel with a thickness of one-fourth inch was welded to close one end of the tube, and after insertion of the ingot into the tube a top was welded onto the open end of the tube.
- This top was provided with a stem suitable for connection to a vacuum pump.
- the assembly consisting of the ingot and envelope was placed in a furnace and heated to a temperature of about 2,200 F; during the early stages of heating the interior of the mild steel envelope was connected to a vacuum pump via the stem and the gaseous reaction products were removed. Thereafter the stem was closed to seal the interior of the envelope.
- the assembly upon reaching a temperature of 2,200 F, was transferred to an autoclave and while at a temperature of about 2,l F was compacted by the use of nitrogen gas at a pressure of about 17,000 psi. After compacting the assembly was heated to a temperature of about 2,I75 F, which was the desired hot-working temperature. It was then forged to the form of an 8 in. square. This forging was then hot rolled to a 3-% in. square. Thereafter the assembly was again reheated to a temperature of about 2,l75 F and rolled to a 1-5/16 in. square. Upon cooling the envelope was removed by a grinding operation. The envelope was uniformly bonded over the entire workpiece surface at a uniform thickness of about one-sixteenth in. Removal of the envelope resulted in only a 6 percent yield loss. Typically yield losses during processing of this type material in a conventional manner may be as high as 25 percent.
- a bond be achieved between the envelope and the casting.
- This bond may be either mechanical or metallurgical or a combination of both; however, under typical fluid-pressure compacting practice in accordance with the invention a mechanical bond will be achieved with some degree of metallurgical bonding resulting primarily from diffusion of carbon from the mild steel envelope to the casting. If a bond is not provided during the compacting operation and prior to hot working the assembly will not elongate unitarily during hot working. This results in processing difficulties, such as the container being folded or buckled into the casting so that upon the completion of hot rolling the envelope is not of a substantially uniform thickness over the workpiece surface. Therefore, during conditioning to remove the envelope, as by surface grinding, irregular surface portions must be removed to effect complete removal of the envelope, which obviously results in lower yield and poor product quality.
- FIG. 1 shows in cross-section an ingot l enclosed in an envelope 12 in preparation for hot working.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the typical cross-section of the assembly of FIG. 1 after hot rolling.
- the envelope has not elongated uniformly with the ingot but instead has been folded and buckled by the rolling forces into the ingot body in an irregular fashion. Consequently, during removal of the envelope, as by a grinding operation, high yield loss will result.
- FIG. 3 shows an assembly consisting of an ingot l4 and an envelope 16 with the envelope bonded to the ingot, which bond is designated as 18, by hot isostatic compacting in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows an assembly consisting of an ingot l4 and an envelope 16 with the envelope bonded to the ingot, which bond is designated as 18, by hot isostatic compacting in accordance with the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a photograph of a partial cross-section of an ingot of WF- 1 l alloy that has been hot isostatically bonded to a mild steel envelope in accordance with the practice of the invention. The bond produced between the envelope and ingot as a result of hot isostatic compacting may be readily observed in this photograph.
- FIG. 6 is a photograph of a crosssection of the assembly of FIG. 5 after hot-rolling. As may be seen from this photograph, the envelope elongated with the ingot relatively uniformly during hot rolling.
- a method for hot working castings of cobaltand nickel-base alloys comprising enclosing a cobaltor nickel-base alloy casting to be hot worked within an envelope of an iron-base alloy to form an assembly, heating said assembly to an elevated temperature, isostatically compacting said assembly with a combination of pressure and temperature to produce a bond between said envelope and said casting and hot working said assembly to achieve a reduction in a cross-sectional area thereof.
- a method for hot working castings of cobaltand nickel-base alloys comprising enclosing a cobaltor nickel-base alloy casting to be hot worked within an envelope of an iron-base alloy to form an assembly, heating said assembly to a temperature within the range of 1,800 to 2,500 F, evacuating said envelope during said heating, sealing said envelope against the atmosphere, isostatically compacting said assembly in a gas pressure vessel at a pressure sufficient at the assembly temperature to produce a bond between said envelope and said casting, hot working said assembly to achieve a reduction in a cross-sectional area thereof and removing said envelope from said assembly after the same has been hot worked.
