The invention aims to provide a nickel-based superalloy.
Another object of the invention is to provide a method for preparing a nickel-base superalloy.
The above object of the present invention is achieved by the following technical scheme:
the preparation method of the nickel-based superalloy comprises the following specific preparation steps:
Raw material preparation:
mixing yttrium oxide powder and nickel-based alloy powder, and then ball-milling and uniformly mixing under the protection of inert gas to obtain a ball abrasive;
Wherein the yttrium oxide powder is monodisperse yttrium oxide powder; the D50 of the monodisperse yttrium oxide powder is 10-11nm; the particle size distribution range of the monodisperse yttrium oxide powder is 5-20nm;
The D50 of the nickel-based alloy powder is 130-140nm; the particle size distribution range of the nickel-based alloy powder is 10-280nm;
And, the mass ratio of the yttrium oxide powder to the nickel-based alloy powder is 1: (100-105);
sintering materials:
Carrying out vacuum degassing on the ball abrasive, and carrying out hot isostatic pressing sintering to obtain a nickel-based alloy block;
forging at room temperature:
performing rotary forging on the nickel-based alloy block under the room temperature condition, and controlling the deformation amount to be 18-20% so as to obtain a cold deformation processing material;
Annealing:
and (3) carrying out heat preservation on the cold deformation processing material for 1h at the temperature of 850-880 ℃ for annealing treatment, and cooling to obtain the nickel-based superalloy.
According to the technical scheme, the monodisperse nano yttrium oxide powder is adopted in the nickel-based alloy powder system, so that monodisperse oxide particles can be more uniformly distributed in an alloy matrix, on one hand, the need for adjusting the particle distribution in the preparation process is reduced, and the need for ball milling mixing time can be shortened to a certain extent, so that excessive agglomeration of the particles under the action force of mechanical ball milling can be avoided; on the other hand, oxide particles with more uniform particle size distribution can obviously reduce the growth rate difference among different particles in the processing process, thereby being beneficial to controlling the coarsening process of the particles at high temperature and improving the uniformity of the microstructure of the alloy; furthermore, the monodisperse fine oxide particles can be used as barriers for grain growth, maintain the fine grain structure of the alloy and improve the high-temperature strength and creep resistance of the alloy.
Further, the sphericity of the yttrium oxide powder is 9.0-9.5.
By further adopting the above oxide powder of higher sphericity, first, the particles of higher sphericity will cause a more uniform local stress distribution in the adoption, thereby helping to reduce the non-uniformity in the grain growth process due to stress concentration; secondly, the interface stress of the spherical particles is lower, so that the non-uniform grain growth caused by non-uniform interface stress or the generation of internal microcracks and the like can be reduced; furthermore, due to the geometrical characteristics of the particles with higher sphericity, coarsening of crystal grains caused by concentration of thermal stress can be remarkably reduced, so that the high-temperature strength of the product is further improved.
Further, the hot isostatic pressing comprises:
And (3) continuously performing hot isostatic pressing sintering for 3-3.2h under the conditions that the temperature is 1180-1200 ℃ and the pressure is 168-170 MPa.
Further, the sintering of the material further comprises:
Heating at a speed of 6-8 ℃/min to 750-800 ℃, continuously heating at a speed of 0.5-0.7 ℃/min to 1180-1200 ℃, continuously performing hot isostatic pressing sintering for 3-3.2h under the condition of 168-170MPa, subsequently cooling at a speed of 8-12 ℃/min to 550-600 ℃, and continuously cooling at a speed of 2-4 ℃/min to room temperature.
According to the technical scheme, the heating rate and the cooling rate in the heating process are further controlled, so that the phenomenon that a large temperature difference is generated between the surface and the inside of a material due to the excessively high heating rate in the heating process is avoided, uneven thermal stress is caused, and finally inconsistent microstructures are caused, so that the high-temperature strength of a product is reduced; in the cooling process, a finer grain structure can be obtained by increasing the cooling speed, but higher residual stress is easy to cause, so that the cooling speed needs to be reasonably controlled.
Further, the nickel-based alloy powder comprises the following elements in parts by weight:
18-20 parts of Cr,0.6-0.7 part of Ti,0.25-0.28 part of Al,0.9-1.0 part of Fe,0.04-0.05 part of C and 80-82 parts of Ni.
Further, the ball milling and mixing uniformly comprises:
Taking the total mass of the yttrium oxide powder and the nickel-based alloy powder as the mass of the materials, and according to the mass ratio of ball milling beads to the mass of the materials, the mass ratio is 35:1 adding zirconia ball milling beads, wherein the zirconia ball milling beads adopt three specifications with diameters of 3cm, 5cm and 8cm respectively; wherein, the number ratio of 3cm ball-milling beads, 5cm ball-milling beads and 8cm ball-milling beads is 8:5:2;
