摘要: 

提出一种低Re二代单晶高温合金的热处理制度,研究了900 ℃长期时效对合金的组织和性能的影响。结果表明,合金在900 ℃分别长期时效500 h、1000 h后,其高温持久性能与热处理态的相同。测试持久性能后在合金中形成了致密的γ/γ′位错网,在γ′相内出现了切入的a<101>和a<010>超位错。在900 ℃长期时效3000 h合金中的γ′相发生粗化、连接和尺寸增大但是未出现筏化,在合金中析出了M6C碳化物但是没有析出TCP相,表现出较高的组织稳定性。

Abstract

Second-generation single-crystal superalloys, developed through the incorporation of approximately 3%Re into first-generation alloys, demonstrate substantially enhanced high-temperature capabilities and have become critical materials for modern aero-engine turbine blades. However, as a strategic rare element, the addition of merely 1%Re doubles the casting cost of single-crystal superalloys while excessive Re content readily induces precipitation of topologically close-packed (TCP) phases that compromise microstructural stability. Therefore, it has become a critical challenge in the present to not only reduce production costs, but also maintain the microstructure stability, while avoiding sacrificing high-temperature mechanical properties. To address this challenge, therefore, a ramp-step heat treatment procedure for low-Re second-generation nickel-based single-crystal superalloys was proposed. Then the effect of long-term aging at 900 oC for different durations on the evolution of microstructure and the high-temperature durability performance of the alloy was assessed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) combined with metallographic analysis. Results revealed that after being aged for 3000 h at 900 oC, the γ′-precipitates were coarsened and coalesced with progressive size enlargement, along with precipitation of M6C carbides in the absence of TCP phase formation or γ′ rafting phenomena, indicating excellent structural stability. Observations for the fractured alloy after durable strength performance tests revealed that a dense γ/γ′ dislocation network was formed in the alloy and shearing super-dislocations a<101> and a<010> emerged within the γ′-phase. Notably, stress rupture properties after 500 h and 1000 h aging at 900 oC remain equivalent to the as heat-treated ones. Based on these findings, this work establishes a novel heat treatment procedure for second-generation superalloys while elucidating microstructural stabilization mechanisms and revealing competitive precipitation behavior between M6C carbides and TCP phases.
