冷拉减面率对C形环用Inconel X-750丝材组织性能的影响

文章通过冷拉拔加工制备减面率为0%、30%、60%的Inconel X-750丝材,分别在650℃、730℃、810℃下时效处理16h,研究冷拉减面率对X-750合金组织性能的影响,特别是减面率对γ′相形状、分布、数量及尺寸的影响。经定量分析,增大冷拉减面率除了有细化晶粒的作用外,还能一定程度地增加γ′相析出的颗粒数量及体积分数,减小γ′相尺寸,进一步加强沉淀强化的作用。时效温度对X-750丝材的晶粒尺寸没有明显影响,对γ′相的数量、尺寸及形状影响较大。采用730℃时效处理16h的标准工艺制备的X-750丝材,经加工为弹簧后制造成金属C形密封环,其回弹量及泄漏率均满足要求,实验条件下密封性能良好。     

镍基单晶合金中温疲劳性能应力集中敏感性

疲劳是涡轮叶片的一种主要失效模式.本文开展了DD11单晶合金在650℃中温条件下2种应力集中系数(K_t=1(光滑状态)、K_t=3(缺口状态))的旋转弯曲疲劳性能研究,对比了2种应力集中系数下的疲劳强度,并开展了相关断口分析.结果表明:应力集中系数由K_t=1增大到K_t=3时,疲劳极限由446 MPa降低为311 MPa,说明DD11单晶合金疲劳性能存在应力集中敏感性;疲劳寿命由10~5提高到10~7时,光滑状态由600 MPa降低为420 MPa,疲劳强度降低幅度为180 MPa,而缺口状态由370 MPa降低为290 MPa,降低幅度为80 MPa,说明应力集中条件下DD11单晶合金的疲劳寿命对于外载变化较敏感.断口分析表明,光滑试样断口(应力500 MPa/疲劳寿命9.7×10~5)由几个相交的光滑晶体学平面组成,疲劳源萌生在距表面100μm左右的铸造孔洞;缺口试样断口(应力340 MPa/疲劳寿命8.1×10~5试样)呈平面状,与应力轴垂直,为多源疲劳模式,疲劳源观察到小刻面,在加工刀痕不连续位置萌生.     

Characteristic study of N07718 superalloy surface prepared by cold spray

For better performance in erosive–corrosive, wear and other extreme environmental conditions surface properties of metals and alloys are usually altered by different techniques. Amongst the various surface coating techniques cold spraying is a relatively new and less reported method. Coating formation at energy lower than the melting stage of materials brings novelty to this process. In this study surface of UNS No. - N07718 alloy is altered by cold spraying chromium-carbide (nickel-chromium) layer. The microstructure properties of this cold sprayed surface are observed by various characterization techniques and the results are used to study mechanism of coating layer formation by cold spray process. This newly developed cold sprayed surface is found to be eligible for further testing in wear and erosive-corrosive environmental conditions.     

Oxidation behaviors of Ni-Cr-Al superalloy foams at 1 000 ℃ in air

The oxidation behaviors of Ni-16Cr-xAl （x=4.5%, 9.0%, mass fraction） superalloy foams in air at 1000℃ were investigated. The effects of AI content on the resistance to high temperature oxidation were examined. The oxidation mechanisms of the foams were discussed. The results show that the resistance to the oxidation of the Ni-16Cr-xA1 based alloy at 1 000 ℃ increases with the content of A1 increasing from 4.5% to 9.0%. Complex oxide products are formed on the surface of the superalloy foams after the oxidation. Cr203 and A1203 are the predominant oxides for the scales of the foams with 4.5% A1 and 9% A1, respectively. Excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and superior pore conformation stability for the Ni-16Cr-xA1 based superalloy foam with 9% A1 can be mainly attributed to the formation of relatively continuous and protective A1203 oxides on the surface of the foam.     

A modern and robust methodology for modeling anisotropic creep characteristics of Ni-based DS and SC superalloys

According to more recent work,the Wilshire equations have shown good prediction accuracy in a wide range of materials and stress-temperature conditions,particularly in extrapolation of short term results to long term predictions.In the current paper,this methodology was further developed for modeling anisotropic creep characteristics(i.e.minimum creep strain εmin ,stress rupture life tf and time to a specified strain tε)of four typical Ni-based directionally solidified(DS)and single crystal(SC)superalloys,where a simple orientation factor related to the ultimate tensile strength(UTS)was introduced.The application of these simplistic approaches showed that the anisotropic creep characteristics in a wide range of stress-temperature conditions can be accurately simulated.Meanwhile,during the application of the modified Wilshire equations,break points occurring at the specified stress levels agree well with the transition of creep deformation mechanisms occurring in different stress regions,which provides confidence for using this method.     

枝晶间距对镍基单晶合金蠕变性能的影响

为了研究枝晶间距对镍基单晶合金组织与蠕变性能的影响,采用不同抽拉速率制备出两种不同枝晶间距的单晶镍基合金.通过蠕变性能测试及组织形貌观察,研究了枝晶间距对合金成分偏析及蠕变性能的影响.结果表明,随着合金枝晶间距的减小,元素成分偏析程度降低,且在相同热处理条件下,枝晶间距较小的合金具有较好的蠕变性能.合金在稳态蠕变期间的变形机制是位错攀移越过筏状γ′相,而蠕变后期的变形机制是位错在基体中滑移和切入筏状γ′相.蠕变断裂后,在试样不同区域筏状γ′相具有不同的形貌,在远离断口区域,筏状γ′相与应力轴方向垂直,而在近断口区域,筏状γ′相尺寸及扭曲程度均增加.

Effect of Ce^＋ Ion Implantation upon Oxidation Resistance of Superalloy K38G

The addition of small quantities of reactive ele ments (RE) or other elements with high oxygen affini ty, usually in the order of 0 1%~0 2% mass frac tion, will result in a beneficial effect on the oxidationresistance to superalloys[1~4].A number of mechanisms have been proposed toexplain the beneficial effect of RE additions on theCr2O3 forming alloys, including physical blocking byRE ions or second phase particles at grain boundaries,pegging effect between the oxide and the …     

Small crack behavior and fracture of nickel-based superalloy under ultrasonic fatigue

Fracture and small crack behavior in the very high cycle domain of 10⁹ cycles were investigated with a nickel-based superalloy under ultrasonic fatigue in ambient air at room temperature. The influence of ultrasonic frequency is examined by comparing the results with those in conventional low frequency fatigue. It is found that fatigue strength increases as frequency is raised up to 19.5 kHz and the most of fatigue life is consumed in nucleating and propagating small cracks up to 100 μm. Transition of fracture mode from transgranular ductile fracture to cleavage-dominated fracture occurs beyond a critical stress intensity factor range of approximately , leading to the catastrophic failure under ultrasonic fatigue.     

Numerical analysis on solidification process and heat transfer of FGH95 superalloy droplets during PREP

In order to understand the relation between microstructure of superalloy powders and its solidification progress, the processing parameters are optimized during plasma rotating electrode processing (PREP). It was predicted from the results that the droplet velocities, droplet temperature, and fractional solidification with flight time about FGH95 superalloy droplet have been carried out based on Newtonian heat transfer formulation coupled with the classical heterogeneous nucleation and the specific solidification process. It has been found that the droplet dynamic and thermal behavior is strongly affected by the distribution of droplet diameters, the proportion of cooling atmosphere, but is relatively unaffected by the droplet superheat.
