Casting Inconel625

Cast Inconel 625 is a type of Inconel 625 that can or can only be molded by casting. Its main features are:

1. Having a wider composition range Since the deformation processing performance can be avoided, the design of the alloy can be focused on optimizing its performance. For the nickel-based Inconel 625, the γ' content can be adjusted to 60% or higher by adjusting the composition, so that the alloy can maintain excellent performance at a temperature of up to 85% of the melting point of the alloy.

2. Has a wider application field Due to the special advantages of the casting method, Inconel 625 castings with arbitrarily shaped structures or shapes can be designed and manufactured according to the needs of the parts.

According to the use temperature of the cast alloy, it can be divided into the following three categories:

The first type: Isopel 625, which is used at -253 to 650 °C, has a good overall performance over a wide range of temperatures, especially at low temperatures. For example, the K4169 alloy with a large amount on the aerospace and aerospace engines has a tensile strength of 1500 °C of 1000 MPa, a yield strength of 850 MPa, and a tensile ductility of 15%. The 650 ° C, 620 MPa stress has a long life of 200 hours. It has been used to make diffuser casings in aerospace engines and complex structural components for various pumps in aerospace engines.

The second category: Isconel625, an equiaxed crystal casting used at 650-950 °C, has high mechanical properties and resistance to hot corrosion at high temperatures. For example, K419 alloy, tensile strength greater than 700 MPa, tensile plasticity greater than 6% at 950 ° C; 950 ° C, 200 hours of permanent strength limit greater than 230 MPa. These alloys are suitable for use as aero-engine turbine blades, guide vanes and cast-in turbines.

The third category: directional solidification columnar crystals used at 950 to 1100 ° C and single crystal Inconel 625 alloys have excellent overall properties and resistance to oxidation and hot corrosion in this temperature range. For example, the DD402 single crystal alloy has a long-lasting life of more than 100 hours under a stress of 1100 ° C and 130 MPa. This is the most used turbine blade material in the country and is suitable for the production of first-class turbine blades for new high-performance engines.

With the continuous improvement of precision casting technology, new special processes are also emerging. Fine-grain casting technology, directional solidification technology, and CA technology of complex thin-walled structural parts have greatly improved the level of cast Inconel 625 and the application range has been continuously improved.

Powder metallurgy process, due to the fine powder particles, fast cooling, uniform composition, no macrosegregation, fine grain, good thermal processing performance, high metal utilization rate, low cost, especially the yield strength and fatigue properties of the alloy. A big increase.

Powder metallurgy Inconel625 meets the requirements of engines with higher stress levels and is the material of choice for high temperature components such as engine turbine discs, compressor discs and turbine baffles.

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) alloy

It is a special mechanical alloying (MA) process, which is formed by ultra-fine (less than 50nm) ultra-stable oxide dispersion strengthening phase uniformly dispersed in the alloy matrix at high temperature to form a special Inconel625. The alloy strength can be maintained close to the melting point of the alloy itself, and has excellent high temperature creep properties, superior high temperature oxidation resistance, and resistance to carbon and sulfur corrosion.

There are three main types of ODS alloys that have been commercialized:

Inconel625 way to increase strength

Solid solution strengthening

Adding elements different in the size of the base metal atom (chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, etc.) causes distortion of the matrix metal lattice, adding elements that reduce the stacking fault energy of the alloy matrix (such as cobalt) and adding can slow down the diffusion rate of the matrix elements. Elements (tungsten, molybdenum, etc.) to strengthen the matrix.

Precipitation strengthening

By aging treatment, the second phase (γ', γ", carbide, etc.) is precipitated from the supersaturated solid solution to strengthen the alloy. The γ' phase is the same as the matrix, and is a face-centered cubic structure, and the lattice constant is similar to the matrix. And coherent with the crystal, so the γ phase can be uniformly precipitated in the form of fine particles in the matrix, hindering the dislocation motion, and producing significant strengthening effect. The γ' phase is an A3B type intermetallic compound, A represents nickel, cobalt, and B represents Aluminum, titanium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium, tungsten, and chromium, molybdenum, iron can be either A or B. The typical γ' phase in Ni-based alloys is Ni3 (Al, Ti). The strengthening effect of γ' phase It can be enhanced by:

1 increase the number of γ' phases;

2 to make the γ' phase and the matrix have a suitable degree of mismatch to obtain the strengthening effect of coherent distortion;

3 adding yttrium, lanthanum and other elements to increase the anti-phase boundary energy of the γ' phase to improve its ability to resist dislocation cutting;

4 Adding elements such as cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum and the like to increase the strength of the γ' phase. The γ" phase is a body-centered tetragonal structure, and its composition is Ni3Nb. Because of the large mismatch between the γ" phase and the matrix, a large degree of coherent distortion can be caused, and the alloy obtains a high yield strength. However, when it exceeds 700 ° C, the strengthening effect is significantly reduced. Cobalt-based Inconel 625 is generally free of gamma phase and is reinforced with carbide.

Grain boundary strengthening

At high temperatures, the grain boundary of the alloy is a weak link, and the addition of trace amounts of boron, zirconium and rare earth elements improves the grain boundary strength. This is because rare earth elements can purify grain boundaries, boron and zirconium atoms can fill grain boundary vacancies, reduce the grain boundary diffusion rate during creep, inhibit the aggregation of grain boundary carbides and promote the spheroidization of grain boundary second phase. In addition, the addition of an appropriate amount of niobium to the cast alloy can also improve the strength and ductility of the grain boundaries. It is also possible to form a chain-shaped carbide at the grain boundary by heat treatment or to cause a curved grain boundary to improve plasticity and strength.

Oxide dispersion strengthening

By the powder metallurgy method, a fine oxide which remains stable at a high temperature is added to the alloy in a dispersed state, thereby obtaining a remarkable strengthening effect. The oxides usually added are ThO2, Y2O3 and the like. These oxides strengthen the alloy by obstructing dislocation motion and stabilizing the dislocation substructure.

Inconel625 manufacturing process

Inconel 625 with or without aluminum and titanium is generally smelted in an electric arc furnace or a non-vacuum induction furnace. Inconel 625 with high aluminum and titanium is not easily controlled when it is smelted in the atmosphere, and gas and inclusions are more intensive, so vacuum smelting should be used. In order to further reduce the content of inclusions, improve the distribution of inclusions and the crystal structure of the ingot, a double process combining smelting and secondary remelting may be employed. The main means of smelting are electric arc furnace, vacuum induction furnace and non-vacuum induction furnace; the main means of remelting are vacuum self-consumption furnace and electroslag furnace.

Solid solution strengthened alloys and alloy ingots containing aluminum and titanium (the total amount of aluminum and titanium are less than about 4.5%) may be forged blanks; alloys containing aluminum and titanium are generally extruded or rolled. Then hot rolled into a material, some products need to be further cold rolled or cold drawn. Larger diameter alloy ingots or cakes are forged with a hydraulic press or a fast forging hydraulic press.

Alloys with a high degree of alloying and non-deformation are currently widely used for precision casting, such as casting turbine blades and guide vanes. In order to reduce or eliminate grain boundaries perpendicular to the stress axis in the cast alloy and to reduce or eliminate looseness, a directional crystallization process has been developed in recent years. This process is to grow crystal grains in a crystal direction during solidification of the alloy to obtain parallel columnar crystals without lateral grain boundaries. The primary process condition for achieving directional crystallization is to establish and maintain a sufficiently large axial temperature gradient and good axial heat dissipation conditions between the liquidus and the solidus. In addition, in order to eliminate all grain boundaries, it is also necessary to study the manufacturing process of single crystal blades.

Powder metallurgy process, mainly used to produce precipitation-enhanced and oxide dispersion-strengthened Inconel625. This process allows plasticity and even superplasticity to be obtained for cast Inconel 625, which is generally indeformable.

The overall performance of Inconel 625 is closely related to the microstructure of the alloy, which is controlled by metal heat treatment. Inconel 625 is generally heat treated. Precipitation-strengthened alloys are usually solution treated and aged. The solid solution strengthened alloy is only subjected to solution treatment. Some alloys undergo one or two intermediate treatments before aging. The solution treatment is firstly to dissolve the second phase into the alloy matrix so that the strengthening phase such as γ, carbide (cobalt-based alloy) is uniformly precipitated during the aging treatment, and secondly, in order to obtain a suitable grain size to ensure high temperature creep. And lasting performance.

The solution treatment temperature is generally from 1040 to 1220 °C. Currently widely used alloys are treated with intermediate treatment at 1050 to 1100 °C before aging treatment. The main effect of the intermediate treatment is to precipitate carbides and γ films at the grain boundaries to improve the grain boundary state. At the same time, some alloys also precipitate some γ phases with larger particles and form a reasonable match with the fine γ phases precipitated during aging treatment. The purpose of the aging treatment is to uniformly precipitate the γ phase or the carbide (cobalt-based alloy) to increase the high temperature strength, and the aging treatment temperature is generally 700 to 1000 ° C.

Inconel625 trends

The development trend of Inconel625 is to further improve the working temperature of the alloy and improve the ability to withstand various loads at medium or high temperatures, extending the life of the alloy. In the case of turbine blade materials, single crystal blades will enter the practical stage, and the overall performance of the oriented crystal blades will be improved.

In addition, it is possible to use a chilled alloy powder to produce a multi-layer diffusion-connected hollow blade to accommodate the need to increase the temperature of the gas. In the case of the guide vane and the combustion chamber material, it is possible to use an oxide dispersion-strengthened alloy to greatly increase the use temperature. In order to improve the corrosion resistance and corrosion resistance, the protective coating materials and processes of the alloy will also be further developed.

Inconel 625 substance application:

Inconel625 is a kind of metal material which can work for a long time under the action of high temperature and certain stress above 600 °C based on iron, nickel and cobalt. It has high temperature strength, good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. Comprehensive performance such as fatigue performance and fracture toughness. Inconel 625 is a single austenitic structure with good structural stability and reliability at various temperatures. Based on the above performance characteristics, Inconel 625 has a high degree of alloying and is also called “superalloy”. It is widely used. An important material for aviation, aerospace, petroleum, chemical, and shipbuilding. Inconel 625 is divided into iron, nickel, cobalt and other Inconel 625 according to the matrix element. Iron-based Inconel 625 can only be used at temperatures up to 750-780 ° C. For heat-resistant parts used at higher temperatures, nickel-based and refractory metal-based alloys are used. The nickel-based Inconel 625 is particularly important in the entire Inconel 625 field and is used extensively to manufacture aerospace jet engines and the hottest end parts of various industrial gas turbines. If the 150MPA-100H permanent strength is the standard, the current maximum temperature that the nickel alloy can withstand is >1100 °C, while the nickel alloy is about 950 °C, and the iron-based alloy is <850 °C, that is, the nickel-based alloy is correspondingly 150 °C higher. Up to about 250 °C. Therefore, nickel alloy is called the heart of the engine. At present, on advanced engines, nickel alloys account for half of the total weight, not only turbine blades and combustion chambers, but also the use of nickel alloys in turbine blades and even later stages of compressor blades. Compared with ferroalloys, nickel alloys have the advantages of high operating temperature, stable structure, less harmful phase and high resistance to oxidation and corrosion. Compared to cobalt alloys, nickel alloys can work at higher temperatures and stresses, especially in moving blades.

The advantages of nickel alloys described above are related to some of their superior properties. Nickel is a face-centered cube, the structure is very stable, and no homogenous transformation occurs from room temperature to high temperature; this is important for the selection of matrix materials. It is well known that austenitic structures have a number of advantages over ferrite structures.

Nickel has high chemical stability, almost no oxidation occurs below 500 degrees, and is not affected by warm air, water and certain salt aqueous solutions at the school temperature. Nickel dissolves very slowly in sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, but dissolves quickly in nitric acid.

Nickel has a large alloying ability, and even adding more than ten kinds of alloying elements does not cause harmful phases, which provides a potential possibility for improving various properties of nickel.

Although the mechanical properties of pure nickel are not strong, the plasticity is excellent, especially the plasticity changes at low temperatures.
