Abstract: | Superalloy is developed to meet the stringent requirements of materials used in aeroengine hot-end parts. It has become an irreplaceable key material for military and civil engines.With the increasing contents of Al and Ti,the hot-working properties of superalloy materials are significantly reduced.The metallurgical technology and product quality of GH4720Li alloy produced by triple-melted process were introduced.The results showed that the PESR ingot structure was shrinkage-free,compact,and had high-degree purity,and the VAR process was obviously stable.The sulfur content of GH4720Li alloy was only several 10-6 by the triple-melted process,which was propitious for forging the alloy.The uniform heat treatment technology was also studied,and the results showed that the hot-working plasticity of GH4720Li alloy ingot was significantly improved after uniform heat treatment.The properties of GH4720Li alloy by the triple-melted process were good. |
