真空感应熔炼中夹杂物运动行为数值模拟

为了促进真空感应熔炼GH4169合金过程中夹杂物的去除,建立了电磁-流动-粒子跟踪耦合数学模型,研究了真空感应熔炼过程中熔液流动与夹杂物运动的规律,对比了不同冶炼工艺参数下熔池中流场和夹杂物运动特点,提出了一种促进真空感应熔炼过程中夹杂物去除的工艺优化方法。结果表明,真空感应熔炼过程中,熔池流场中存在2个漩涡,加快漩涡的运动速度可以促进熔池内夹杂物的去除,熔液流动速度随着熔炼的进行先升高后下降,最终趋于稳定。随着电压增加,熔液平均流动速度增加,熔池内夹杂物总去除率升高。随着电流频率升高,熔液平均流动速度降低,熔池内夹杂物总去除率降低。因此可通过增大电压、减小电流频率的方法,增大熔液流动速度,促进真空感应熔炼GH4169合金过程中夹杂物的去除,工艺参数由400 V、3 400 Hz优化为420 V、3 200 Hz后,夹杂物总去除率由91.98%增大到94.87%,提高了2.89%。     

涂层刀具高速铣削高温合金GH2132磨损形态及磨损机理

用2种硬质合金涂层刀具进行铁基高温合金GH2132的高速干铣削试验,采用电子扫描显微镜(scanning electron microscopy,SEM)观察刀具的磨损形貌,对刀具的主要磨损机理进行了分析.结果表明:刀具的磨损形态主要是后刀面磨损;KC725M涂层由TiN、TiAlN组成,涂层易剥落;KC525M涂层只有1层TiAlN,涂层不易脱落,但由于机械冲击产生沟槽磨损,形成应力集中,导致在切削刃处产生较大的磨损;不论KC525M还是KC725M,涂层剥落后,切削区产生的瞬时高温均使基体中粘结相发生软化,造成硬质相颗粒脱落和基体的剧烈磨损.研究结果可用于指导高速切削刀具材料的设计、合理选用及刀具磨损控制.

Laser-assisted friction stir processing of IN738LC nickel-based superalloy: stir zone characteristics

Friction stir processing (FSP) of high softening-temperature materials such as nickel-based superalloys is considered to be difficult. Laser heating of a localised area ahead of the FSP tool was used to provide sufficient plasticity during the FSP of IN738LC nickel-based superalloy. The stir zone (SZ) microstructure of the friction stir processed and laser-assisted friction stir processed were characterised. Laser-assisted friction stir processing (LAFSP) produced a defect-free pass, but FSP resulted in generation of a discontinuity in the SZ. Both lower volume fraction of partially dissolved γ′ precipitates and coarser grain structure of SZ in LAFSP led to more ductility of the SZ material and elimination of the defects.

Evaluating Alloy Composition Using The Gibbs Triangle

Ingot quality is characterized by SPC evaluations; meaning Structure (S), Property (P), and Composition (C). Structure-property studies are classified as “sensitive” attributes while composition is considered to be an “insensitive” parameter. For example, it is common to hear the phrase that global composition is “insensitive” to structure and property values. For superalloys, structural analyses are applied using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine both size, shape and distribution effects for the gamma prime phase. Examination of properties requires mechanical tests for strength, hardness, toughness and, so forth. However, for investigations on composition, the scientific community still depends on optical emission spectroscopy (OES) for measurements of global results using arc burns to represent bulk volume. This leads to the obvious question…. What needs to be done to better quantify the OES results? Further…. How can the controlling microconstituents of a superalloy be better related to the overall composition results for an improved qualification of ingots? This article addresses these needs and priorities. And, the said article is offered as a contribution to the sum of total knowledge.     

Influence of service-induced microstructural changes on the aging kinetics of rejuvenated Ni-based superalloy gas turbine blades

Rejuvenation of Ni-based superalloy gas turbine blades is widely and successfully employed in order to restore the material microstructure and properties after service at high temperature and stresses. Application of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and re-heat treatment can restore even a severely overaged blade microstructure to practically “as-new” condition. However, certain service-induced microstructural changes might affect an alloy’s behavior after the rejuvenated blades are returned to service. It was found that advanced service-induced decomposition of primary MC carbides, and the consequent changes of the γ-matrix chemical composition during the rejuvenation, can cause a considerable acceleration of the aging process in the next service cycle. The paper will discuss the influence of the previous microstructural deterioration on the aging kinetics of rejuvenated gas turbine blades made from IN-738 and conventionally cast GTD-111 alloys.
