In a traditional paraffin-based binder system, the decomposition temperature of high-density polyethylene of a high-molecular skeleton agent component is 450-550 ℃, and the forming temperature of a sintering neck of TiAl alloy powder is 800-1200 ℃. In the thermal degreasing process, if the high-density polyethylene playing a role of the skeleton agent is completely removed, the weak van der waals force between particles is difficult to maintain the green shape to the pre-sintered state due to the overlarge difference between the third-stage degreasing temperature and the pre-sintering temperature, so that the TiAl turbine collapses.

(2) And (3) testing mechanical properties: the turbine parts prepared in examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 5 were measured for tensile strength and elongation at room temperature, respectively.
Third, experimental results
Through detection, the TiAl alloy turbine prepared by the preparation method in the embodiments 1-5 has fine grains, uniform structure and Ti2AlC and Ti5Si3Enhanced alpha2A/gamma full lamellar organization structure; wherein, Ti2AlC and Ti5Si3The particle size of (A) is 1 to 3 μm; alpha is alpha2Alpha in a/gamma full lamellar structure2The phase and the gamma phase are both of lath structures; alpha is alpha2The phase accounts for 10-20% by mass, and the gamma phase accounts for 80-90% by mass.
The experimental results of examples 1 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 5 are summarized below and shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1 comparison of the Properties of turbine parts obtained in examples 1-5 and comparative examples 1-5
Through data comparison, in the comparative example 1, from the third stage of thermal degreasing to the pre-sintering stage, the degreased green body blade is largely collapsed and deformed, and the shape of the degreased green body blade cannot be maintained; in embodiments 1-5 of the invention, the silicone resin skeleton agent with low melting and high decomposition temperature is introduced, so that the stability of the TiAl alloy turbine green compact in the thermal degreasing process is effectively improved, and the injection molding process preparation of the TiAl turbine with a high complex shape is ensured. At the same time, designed and preparedTi2AlC、Ti5Si3Enhanced alpha2The/gamma full lamellar structure ensures that the TiAl alloy supercharger turbine has excellent comprehensive mechanical properties. In addition, the TiAl turbine for a turbocharger prepared in comparative example 4 had a near- γ structure mainly composed of γ equiaxed crystals, although the grains were fine and had a uniform structure, and Ti was present in the matrix structure2AlC and Ti5Si3The particle size of the reinforcing phase is about 1 mu m, and the compactness, the room-temperature tensile strength and the elongation are relatively low; it can also be seen that the change of any one of the components in the TiAl-based prealloyed powder of the present invention will directly affect the microstructure of the TiAl turbine for the supercharger; in addition, the lack or change of any component in the binding agent and the change of the proportion of the components cannot endow the turbine blank with strong shape-preserving capability so as to solve the problem that the turbine blank is easy to collapse in the thermal degreasing process.
