摘要:In recent years, with the complexity of the gas-cooled structure and the large-scale size of the single-crystal turbine blade, the production of single-crystal blade is more prone to crystal selection failure, orientation deviation, sliver, large angle grain boundary, stray grain in the platform, recrystallization, freckles and other defects, which lead to the reduction of high-temperature alloy performance of single crystal turbine blade, and eventually cause the scrapping of single-crystal blade. In order to reduce these defects in single crystal blade, improve the quality of single crystal, and obtain a complete structure of single crystal structure, it is very important to be familiar with various common defects in the production of single crystal blade, realize the formation rules of defects, and master the defect inhibition technology. On this basis, the common solidification defects in the production of single crystal blades, as well as the formation rules and inhibition methods of solidification defects were systematically introduced, which lays a solid theoretical foundation for reducing the defects of single crystal blades and improving the quality and qualification rate of blades, and provides a strong technical support.

摘要:The calculation models of macroscopic temperature field and microstructure phase field of Ni-based single crystal superalloy during directional solidification were established. The temperature fileld change of single crystal rod during directional solidification was simulated. Based on the macroscopic temperature field, the growth of microstructure was simulated. The microstructure of nickel-base single crystal superalloy was compared with the simulation results to verify the accuracy of the calculation model. Both the simulation and experimental results indicate that the dendrite morphology in different regions of single crystal rod after directional solidification has significant difference. The dendrite under high cooling rate presents small primary dendrite arm spacing, while that under low cooling rate is quite coarse, with well-developed primary and secondary dendrite arm as well as large primary dendrite arm spacing.

摘要:The freckle formation in specially shaped castings of a single crystal superalloy was investigated under industrial production condition. The results indicate that freckle defects are asymmetrically distributed due to the asymmetrical solidification condition in the ring-likely arranged castings. On the whole, all freckles appear on the inner side of castings with poor heat transfer conditions, while the outside is free of freckle, where the temperature gradient and cooling rate are significantly lower. Locally, all freckles are preferably generated on the convex corners or cambered surface rather than concave, and the reason is that coanda effect of liquid flow in pasty zone are overlapped on the convex site, promoting the formation of freckles. Moreover, the freckles are also observed on the surface, indicating that freckles can lead to an internal defect of single crystal superalloy castings.
摘要:A nickel-based superalloy was fabricated by laser additive manufacture and conventional casting method respectively. The microstructure of both alloys after heat treatment was observed by SEM. The tensile properties of specimens were tested from room temperature to 1 000 ℃, and the fracture characteristics were observed. The results indicate that the microstructure of the specimens fabricated by laser additive manufacture is heterogeneous, where the γ′ precipitations at dendrite arms are regular, however, the precipitations in the interdendrite regions are coarse and irregular. The tensile strength and elongation are slightly lower than those of the alloy fabricated by conventional casting method. At room temperature, the fracture mechanisms of both specimens are dominated by cleavage fracture. In the case of medium temperatures, both are dominated by shear fracture, while those at high temperature are dominated by micropore aggregation fracture. Therefore, the heat treatment process should be optimized to improve the microstructure uniformity, strength and plasticity.
摘要:Due to the excellent high-temperature mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, superalloys are widely used in critical components such as blades of aero-engines and gas turbines. In the long-term service process under high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environment, damages such as cracks and abrasion are easy to appear, leading to the failure of components. Laser additive manufacturing provides a new feasible way for the repair and reuse of damaged components such as superalloy blades. The application status of laser repair technology in superalloy blades and other components was reviewed, focusing on main problems and research status in aspects of stray grain and cracks. The new methods of laser repairing superalloys were summarized, and the future development trend was prospected.

摘要:The mathematical model of the directional solidification process of single crystal superalloy blade was established based on the finite element method. The temperature field, temperature gradient and cooling rate were simulated at different with drawal rates. The results indicate that when the with drawal rate is 7.2 mm/min, the mushy zone of the blade is wider, and the isotherm inclination is greater than that of 3.6 mm/min and 4.5 mm/min. With the withdrawal rate increasing, the temperature gradient GL of the solid-liquid interface is decreased, and the temperature gradient on the inside of the spiral is larger than that on the outside. The withdrawal rate has little effect on the cooling rate in the starter block of grain selector and blade, while the cooling rate in the back block is increased with the withdrawal rate increase. Meanwhile, the nucleation and growth were simulated by coupling the temperature field and CAFé module to investigate the effect of withdrawal rate on the stray grains formation. The results reveal that stray grains are generated at the edge of the platform when the withdrawal rate is 7.2 mm/min, and the complete single crystal are generated when withdrawal rate is 3.6 mm/min or 4.8 mm/min.
摘要:Taking the gas turbine guide blade as the research object, the hot crack of blade produced by the investment casting process was analyzed, and the macro and micro morphology was investigated. DSC and THERMO-CALC were used to analyze the characteristics of the solidification interval of Mar-M247 alloy. Meanwhile, the temperature field and stress field of the blade solidification process were calculated combined with the numerical simulation software ProCAST, and the physical field characteristics and formation mechanism of thermal crack were described. The results indicate that the characteristics of the alloy solidification interval is the prerequisites for the formation of hot cracks, and the constraint conditions and tensile stress around the dendrite boundaries are the essential conditions. Thereinto, the R corner of the blade is the most sensitive area of thermal crack with slower solidification rate and larger temperature gradient, and the basin position with the faster solidification rate and the larger tensile stress is the thermal crack insensitive area.

摘要:To accurately calculate the mould temperature field during the spray process of die casting process, the interfacial heat transfer coefficient(IHTC) between the mould and the spray medium is an extremely important thermo-physical parameter. A spray experiment was conducted with different spray pressures, in which the temperature history throughout the spray cooling process of H13 steel plate was recorded. The IHTC at the different spray pressures was calculated by utilizing the nonlinear estimation method. The interface morphology and heat transfer characteristics within the spray cooling process were investiagted, and the influence of spray pressures on the IHTC was expounded. The results show that the interface can be divided into wet and dry zone, where the former significantly affects the heat transfer behavior on the interface. It is found that high spray pressure has a positive effect on improving peak IHTC, whereas it impedes the expansion of wet zone and delays the peak of IHTC.

摘要:Based on numerical simulation methods, a two-dimensional electromagnetic field finite element model of aluminum alloy melt was established, and the effects of current mutation and different electromagnetic frequency on the magnetic induction intensity, electromagnetic force and primary phase of semi-solid aluminum alloy melt were investigated. The results reveal that under the same current mutation, the electromagnetic force and magnetic induction intensity are firstly increased and then decreased with the increase of the electromagnetic stirring frequency, reaching the maximum value at 25 Hz. Under the same electromagnetic frequency, the electromagnetic force and magnetic induction intensity are increased with the increase of the amplitude of current mutation, and the maximum value appears when current mutates from 2 A to 6 A. In the case of the optimal stirring frequency(25 Hz) and the mutation current(2~6 A), the shape factor and average equal-area circle diameter of the primary phase are 0.71 and 118 μm, respectively.
摘要:The Al powder and Fe powder compacts with 5% Fe content was fabricated by cold compression method, and the influence of pressure on compact density was investigated. Al-5 Fe alloy was fabricated by solid phase sintering, and the trend of microstructure evolution and microhardness during sintering were investigated by SEM, EDS and micro-Vickers hardness testing. The results indicate that compact density is increased rapidly with the pressure, and slows down after 500 MPa. The compact is unsintered with absence of Al3Fe intermetallic compound when the temperature is held at 500 ℃ for 30 min. When the temperature is held for over 45 minutes, the powder compact is sintered, and a granular Al3Fe intermetallic compound with an average size of 10~15 μm is formed, where the microstructure is significantly refiner than that of as-cast one, yet with micropores in the matrix. The density and micro-Vickers hardness of the sintered alloy are increased with the sintering time, which reach 2.764 g/cm3 and 38 HV0.3, respectively, with sintered for 90 min. Re-pressing and re-sintering can further enhance the density of the sintered Al-5 Fe alloy to 2.80 g/cm3 and the microhardness to 40 HV0.3, both of which are lower than those of as-cast ones, which is attributed to re-pressing and re-sintering unable to eliminate micropores completely.

摘要:The effects of Ca on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg93Zn6Y1 alloy containing icosahedral quasicrystals phase(I-phase) were investigated. The results show that the microstructures of alloys are refined by Ca addition. The grain size of primary α-Mg phase is further decreased with increasing in Ca contents.Moreover, the morphology of second phase is changed from thick skeletal to discontinuous reticular, and the volume fraction of the second phase is further reduced.The mechanical properties of the alloys are further enhanced with the increase of Ca contents. With 0.4%Ca addition, the tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reach 221 MPa and 4.2%, respectively, which are increased by 66.2% and 90.9% compared with those of the Mg93Zn6Y1 alloy.
摘要:To solve the macrosegregation of Al-Bi-Sn immiscible alloys, the effects of higher cooling rate and Ti addition on the microstructure of Al70Bi15Sn15 alloys were investigated, and the morphology, dimension as well as macrosegregation of Bi-Sn-rich dispersed phase were analyzed. The results indicate that the dimension of Bi-Sn-rich dispersed phase is refined and the macrosegregation is decreased with the increase of cooling rate. After Ti addition, the rod-shaped metallic compound of Al3Ti is in-situ generated and presents staggered distribution, which retards the collision and inhibits the growth of Bi-Sn dispersed phase droplets. The droplets are refined, and transformed from elliptic shape to round shape. Moreover, Ti addition also reduces solidification temperature of Bi-Sn eutectic structure. Meanwhile, the hardness of Al-Bi-Sn alloy is improved substantially by the dispersed hard compound of Al3Ti.
摘要:The effects of Al-Ti-C-B master alloy on microstructure and mechanical properties of A356 alloy were investigated. The results indicate that the addition of AlTiCB to A356 alloy can significantly refine the α-Al dendrite, and the grain size can be refined to less than 150 μm. The microstructure becomes more uniform, and the desirable addition amount of trace element AlTiCB is 1.0%, where tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reaches the highest value of 320.8 MPa and 10.0%. The TCB particles existing in the Al-TCB seed alloy play a role of the effective nucleation particle of the primary α-Al, contributing to efficient, long-lasting and stable refining effect on A356 alloy.
摘要:The high-temperature tensile tests were conducted on elevator safety Gear with Cu-1.9 Be-0.25 Co alloy after 780 ℃×4 h solid solution+320 ℃×8 h aging treatment.The stress-strain curve and the change rule of mechanical properties of alloy under different testing conditions were obtained, and the microstructure and tensile fracture morphology of the alloy were observed through optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The results reveal that temperature has a significant effect on the tensile strength and elongation of the aged Cu-1.9 Be-0.25 Co alloy under high temperature conditions. As the tensile temperature increases, tensile strength of the alloy is gradually decreased from 262 MPa to 24.5 MPa, and the elongation and reduction of area are firstly increased and then decreased, which reach the maximum of 129.5% and 99% at 730 ℃, respectively, and the maximum reduction of area continues to decline until 780 ℃. The fracture mechanism of the alloy is transformed from the composite fracture mechanism of intergranular brittle fracture+local ductile fracture at 500 ℃ to ductile fracture at 600 ℃, 730 ℃, 780 ℃ and 830 ℃.

摘要:The effects of casting methods(permanent mould casting, liquid squeeze casting, semi-solid squeeze casting) on microstructure, thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of commercial A356 aluminum alloy were investigated. The results indicate that liquid and semi-solid squeeze casting can significantly reduce defects of casting, increasing the densification of alloy. Thereinto, the grain of the liquid squeeze castings is obviously refined compared with the permanent mould casting ones, where the eutectic Si phase is converted from the coarse lath shape to the long rodlike shape. The tensile strength of the alloy is increased from 179.930 MPa to 209.446 MPa, the elongation from 3.19% to 6.93%, the hardness(HB) from 55 to 64, and the thermal conductivity from 150.064 W/(m·K) to 153.072 W/(m·K). After semi-solid squeeze casting, the primary α-Al grains are evenly distributed with round shape. The size of eutectic Si phase with round and blunt boundary is also decreased, and segregation is eliminated. The tensile strength, elongation, hardness(HB) and thermal conductivity of the alloy reach 223.514 MPa, 13.68%, 71 and 160.220 W/(m·K), respectively.
摘要:The 40 Cr/Q345 B bimetal was compressed and simulated by ABAQUS finite element software under different deformation temperature, strain rate and deformation. The changing law of equivalent strain, residual stress and temperature distributions in bimetal interface were analyzed, and the effects of deformation parameters on the composited interface were explored. The results indicate that the degree of interface recovery and recrystallization are increased at a higher temperature, which is beneficial to interface bonding, and the degree of interface bonding is enhanced with the deformation strain increasing. As the rate increases, the composited time is prolonged and interface reaction is sufficient, further strengthening the degree of interface bonding. By means of orthogonal tests, the optimum temperature of 1 150 ℃, strain rate of 0.1 s-1 and strain of 65% are provided. The experimental results reveal that the element diffusion in bimetal interface is sufficient with a thickness of 22 μm, achieving desirable metallurgical bonding.
摘要:By means of XRD, SEM and EDS, the phase transformation of calcium aluminate produced by calcination of secondary aluminum ash and calcium oxide at different proportions and different temperatures was investigated. The results indicate that at 1 200 ℃, the main phase is C12A7 with a small amount of CA2 formed. At 1 400 ℃, the main phase is C12A7 with the absence of CA2 and a small amount of CA formed. At 1 600 ℃, the main phase is CA. A12C7 generated at 1 200 ℃ and 1 400 ℃ is cubic crystal system and belongs to stable C12A7. With the increase of temperature, the cell volume of C12A7 in the clinker is increased. When the mass ratio of calcium oxide to secondary alumina ash are 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2, and the mass ratio of secondary alumina ash to calcium oxide is between 0.9 and 1.2 at 1 350 ℃, the main phase is C12A7 with a small amount of CA generated. The generated C12A7 is stable, belonging to the cubic crystal system. With the increase of the mass ratio of calcium oxide to secondary aluminum ash, the content of C12A7 is increased and the cell volume of C12A7 in the clinker is increased firstly and then decreased. When the mass ratio of secondary aluminum ash to calcium oxide is 0.9, CA content reaches the maximum value. The Ca content in the mass ratio range of 1.0~1.2 is less than that of 0.9, which is little in this stage and hardly found by XRD.
摘要:The Cu-30 Cr2Nb alloy was prepared by rapid solidification in copper mould. The electric-ablation behaviors of the Cu-30 Cr2Nb alloy and pure copper was investigated comparatively by discharging in air. The results indicate that cooling rate is the main factor affecting the size and the morphology of Cr2Nb phase. With the cooling rate increasing, the average size of Cr2Nb particles is decreased and the morphology is transformed from long bars to short rods, then to fine spherical particles. Compared with pure copper, Cu-30 Cr2Nb alloy exhibits larger arc spot area, lower current density and smoother arc spot. The higher electric-ablation resistance of Cu-30 Cr2Nb alloy is related with the reduced current density and the heat emission of electrons from Cr2Nb particles.
