The invention belongs to the powder injection forming technical field, providing a kind of especially is feedstock production injection forming nickel-based oxide dispersion-strengthened (Oxide Dispersion Strengthening, ODS) method of alloy with pre-treatment machinery alloying powder.
Background technology
Ni-based ODS alloy still has excellent high temperature creep property, fatigue property and antioxidant property more than 1000 ℃.The middle temperature of nickel-base alloy (700~900 ℃) intensity is lower, through the interpolation formation L1 of elements such as Al, Ti and Nb2γ ' [the Ni of structure3(Al, Ti)] precipitated phase can effectively improve medium temperature intensity.Under higher temperature (>1000 ℃), γ ' phase is owing to dissolving loses strengthening effect, and this moment, the dispersion-strengthened mechanism of steady oxide accounted for leading.γ ' phase is a kind of important high-temperature structural material with the Ni-based ODS alloy that dispersed oxide is strengthened mutually altogether, and it can be used as some the crucial high-temperature components in gas turbine engine, aircraft engine and the automobile turbocharger.In gas turbine engine, in order to raise the efficiency, turbine front end inlet temperature increases to about 1500 ℃ by 600-700 ℃ of the initial stage, and this is to the demands for higher performance of high temperature components material (particularly blade material).In automobile-used field, turbocharging technology is to improve automobile engine power, cut down the consumption of energy and automotive industry realizes one of effective means of target for energy-saving and emission-reduction.Turbine is the core component in the automobile turbocharger.At present, turbocharging technology is just progressively popularized to petrol motor, and the exhaust temperature of petrol motor supercharging rear engine is up to 1050 ℃, and common nickel-base alloy can not satisfy request for utilization.
Ni-based ODS alloy is the potential equivalent material of turbine in blade and the automobile turbocharger in the advanced internal combustion turbine; But Ni-based ODS hardness of alloy is high, plasticity is low and formability is poor; Be difficult to prepare parts such as complex-shaped blade or turbine through traditional machine-tooled method, this has seriously restricted applying of Ni-based ODS alloy.Be devoted to the exploitation of Ni-based ODS superalloy and the research of advanced forming technique thereof in the world always.The powder injection forming technology is suitable for preparing high pressure blade and moderate, the complex-shaped part of turbine equidimension in the vehicle turbocharger in the internal combustion turbine; It has that near-net forming, homogeneous microstructure, performance are high, precision is high and series of advantages such as cost is low, can also effectively avoid nonmetal inclusion that cast Ni-base alloy exists, component segregation and defective such as loose.
Mechanical alloying is the requisite technology of preparation injection forming Ni-based ODS powdered alloy raw material, but the mechanical alloy powder is not suitable for carrying out injection forming owing to out-of-shape, powder agglomeration and particle diameter are thick.Therefore, must carry out pre-treatment, to make the powder that particle diameter and shape all are fit to injection forming to the mechanical alloy powder.Utilization can be carried out modification to the particle diameter and the shape of mechanical alloying powder to spray formula airflow milling and radio-frequency plasma spheronization techniques.Inject after utilizing superonic flow nozzzle that high pressure gas are quickened to spray formula airflow milling and pulverize the district, material particles is accelerated and reaches in the collision of nozzle intersection the purpose of pulverizing under the effect of the huge kinetic energy of high-speed gas.The radio-frequency plasma spheronization techniques is that powder particle in irregular shape is sprayed in the plasma furnace through feeding gun by carrying gas; Quilt heats rapidly and melts under radiation, convection current, conduction and four kinds of heat transfer mechanism effects of chemistry; Melt granules forms spherical droplets under surface tension effects; And under high thermograde, solidify rapidly, thereby obtain spherical powder.
It is thus clear that, after handling through airflow milling refinement and plasma body nodularization, the mechanical alloy powder can obtain to be fit to the fine particle spherical powder of injection molding process, and injection forming has successfully solved the difficult problem of Ni-based ODS alloy near-net forming.The development of the Ni-based ODS alloy of injection forming will promote applying of Ni-based ODS alloy greatly.
