Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Werkstofftechnik. Sie betrifft eine Nickel-Basis-Superlegierung, insbesondere zur Herstellung von Einkristall-Komponenten (SX-Legierung) oder Komponenten mit gerichtet erstarrtem Gefüge (DS-Legierung), wie beispielsweise Schaufeln für Gasturbinen. Die erfindungsgemässe Legierung ist aber auch für konventionell gegossene Komponenten einsetzbar.The invention relates to the field of materials technology. It concerns a nickel-base superalloy, in particular for the production of Single crystal components (SX alloy) or components with directed solidified structure (DS alloy), such as blades for Gas turbines. The inventive alloy is also for Conventionally cast components can be used.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Derartige Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen sind bekannt. Einkristall-Komponenten aus diesen Legierungen weisen bei hohen Temperaturen eine sehr gute Materialfestigkeit auf. Dadurch kann z. B. die Einlasstemperatur von Gasturbinen erhöht werden, wodurch die Effizienz der Gasturbine steigt. Such nickel-base superalloys are known. Single-crystal components from these alloys have at high temperatures very good material resistance. As a result, z. B. the inlet temperature of Gas turbines are increased, whereby the efficiency of the gas turbine increases.

Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen für Einkristall-Komponenten, wie sie aus US 4,643,782, EP 0 208 645 und US 5,270,123 bekannt sind, enthalten dazu mischkristallverfestigende Legierungselemente, beispielsweise Re, W, Mo, Co, Cr, sowie γ'-Phasen bildende Elemente, beispielsweise Al, Ta, und Ti. Der Gehalt an hochschmelzenden Legierungselementen (W, Mo, Re) in der Grundmatrix (austenitische γ-Phase) nimmt kontinuierlich zu mit der Zunahme der Beanspruchungstemperatur der Legierung. So enthalten z. B. übliche Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen für Einkristalle 6-8 % W, bis zu 6 % Re und bis zu 2 % Mo (Angaben in Gew.- %). Die in den oben genannten Druckschriften offenbarten Legierungen weisen eine hohe Kriechfestigkeit, gute LCF (Ermüdung bei niedriger Lastspielzahl)- und HCF(Ermüdung bei hoher Lastspielzahl)-Eigenschaften sowie einen hohen Oxidationswiderstand auf.Nickel-based superalloys for single-crystal components as found in US 4,643,782, EP 0 208 645 and US 5,270,123, are included solid solution strengthening alloying elements, for example Re, W, Mo, Co, Cr, and γ'-phase-forming elements, such as Al, Ta, and Ti. The Content of high-melting alloying elements (W, Mo, Re) in the Basic matrix (austenitic γ-phase) increases continuously with increase the stress temperature of the alloy. To contain z. B. usual Nickel-based superalloys for single crystals 6-8% W, up to 6% Re and up to 2% Mo (in% by weight). The in the above-mentioned publications alloys disclosed have high creep resistance, good LCF (Low cycle fatigue fatigue) and HCF (high fatigue fatigue) Load cycle number) properties as well as a high oxidation resistance.

Diese bekannten Legierungen wurden für Flugzeugturbinen entwickelt und deshalb optimiert auf den Kurz- und Mittelzeiteinsatz, d.h. die Beanspruchungsdauer wird auf bis zu 20 000 Stunden ausgelegt. Im Gegensatz dazu müssen industrielle Gasturbinen-Komponenten auf eine Beanspruchungsdauer von bis zu 75 000 Stunden ausgelegt werden.These known alloys have been developed for aircraft turbines and therefore optimized for short and medium time use, i. the Stress duration is designed for up to 20,000 hours. in the In contrast, industrial gas turbine components have to go to one Stress duration of up to 75 000 hours are designed.

Nach einer Beanspruchungsdauer von 300 Stunden zeigt z. B. die Legierung CMSX-4 aus US 4,643,782 beim versuchsweisen Einsatz in einer Gasturbine bei einer Temperatur oberhalb von 1000 °C eine starke Vergröberung der γ'-Phase, die nachteilig mit einer Erhöhung der Kriechgeschwindigkeit der Legierung einhergeht.After a period of use of 300 hours z. As the alloy CMSX-4 from US 4,643,782 when used experimentally in a gas turbine at a temperature above 1000 ° C a strong coarsening of the γ'-phase, the disadvantageous with an increase in the creeping speed of Alloy goes along.

Es ist somit erforderlich, die Oxidationsbeständigkeit der bekannten Legierungen bei sehr hohen Temperaturen zu verbessern.It is thus necessary, the oxidation resistance of the known To improve alloys at very high temperatures.

Ein weiteres Problem der bekannten Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen, beispielsweise der aus US 5,435,861 bekannten Legierungen, besteht darin, dass die Giessbarkeit bei grossen Komponenten, z. B. bei Gasturbinenschaufeln mit einer Länge von mehr als 80 mm, zu wünschen übrig lässt. Das Giessen einer perfekten, relativ grossen gerichtet erstarrten Einkristall-Komponente aus einer Nickel-Basis-Superlegierung ist extrem schwierig, weil die meisten dieser Komponenten Fehler aufweisen, z. B. Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen, "Frecklen" (das sind Fehlstellen bedingt durch eine Kette von gleichgerichteten Körnern mit einem hohem Gehalt an Eutektikum), äquiaxiale Streugrenzen, Mikroporositäten u. a. Diese Fehler schwächen die Komponenten bei hohen Temperaturen, so dass die gewünschte Lebensdauer bzw. die Betriebstemperatur der Turbine nicht erreicht werden. Da aber eine perfekt gegossene Einkristall-Komponente extrem teuer ist, tendiert die Industrie dazu, so viele Defekte wie möglich zuzulassen ohne dass die Lebensdauer oder die Betriebstemperatur beeinträchtigt werden.Another problem of the known nickel-base superalloys, for example, the alloys known from US 5,435,861, is that the castability of large components, eg. B. at Gas turbine blades with a length of more than 80 mm, to be desired leaves. The casting of a perfect, relatively large directionally solidified Single-crystal component of a nickel-base superalloy is extreme difficult because most of these components have errors, e.g. B. Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen, "Frecklen" (these are defects due to a Chain of rectified grains with a high content of eutectic), equiaxial scattering margins, microporosities u. a. These mistakes weaken the Components at high temperatures, leaving the desired Lifespan or the operating temperature of the turbine can not be achieved. But since a perfectly cast single crystal component is extremely expensive, The industry tends to allow as many defects as possible without that the service life or the operating temperature are impaired.

Einer der häufigsten Fehler sind Korngrenzen, welche besonders schädlich für die Hochtemperatureigenschaften der Einkristall-Artikel sind. Während Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen bei kleinen Bauteilen vergleichsweise nur einen geringen Einfluss auf die Eigenschaften haben, sind sie in Bezug auf die Giessbarkeit und das Oxidationsverhalten bei hohen Temperaturen bei grossen SX- oder DS-Bauteilen von hoher Relevanz.One of the most common mistakes are grain boundaries, which are especially harmful for the high temperature properties of single crystal articles. While Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen for small components comparatively only one have little impact on the properties, they are in terms of the Castability and the oxidation behavior at high temperatures large SX or DS components of high relevance.

Korngrenzen sind Gebiete hoher örtlicher Fehlordnung des Kristallgitters, da in diesen Gebieten die Nachbarkörner zusammenstossen und somit eine bestimmte Desorientierung zwischen den Kristallgittern vorhanden ist. Je grösser die Desorientierung ist, desto grösser ist die Fehlordnung, d. h. desto grösser ist die Anzahl der Versetzungen in den Korngrenzen, die notwendig sind, damit die beiden Körner zusammenpassen. Diese Fehlordnung steht in direktem Zusammenhang zum Verhalten des Materials bei hohen Temperaturen. Sie schwächt das Material, wenn sich die Temperatur über die äquikohäsive Temperatur (= 0,5 x Schmelzpunkt in K) erhöht.Grain boundaries are areas of high local disorder of the crystal lattice since In these areas, the neighboring grains collide and thus one certain disorientation exists between the crystal lattices. ever the greater the disorientation, the greater the disorder, d. H. more greater is the number of dislocations in the grain boundaries that are necessary are, so that the two grains fit together. This disorder is in direct relation to the behavior of the material at high Temperatures. It weakens the material when the temperature over the Equally cohesive temperature (= 0.5 x melting point in K) increased.

Aus GB 2 234 521 A ist dieser Effekt bekannt. So sinkt bei einer konventionellen Nickel-Basis-Einkristall-Legierung beispielsweise bei einer Prüftemperatur von 871 °C die Bruchfestigkeit extrem ab, wenn die Desorientierung der Körner grösser als 6° ist. Dies wurde auch bei Einkristall-Komponenten mit gerichtet erstarrtem Gefüge festgestellt, so dass allgemein die Ansicht vertreten wurde, Desorientierungen grösser als 6° nicht zuzulassen.From GB 2 234 521 A this effect is known. Sun sinks at one Conventional nickel-based single crystal alloy, for example, at a Test temperature of 871 ° C, the breaking strength extremely low when the Disorientation of the grains is greater than 6 °. This was also true for single crystal components determined with directionally solidified structure, so that in general the view was represented, disorientations greater than 6 ° not permit.

Aus der genannten GB 2 234 521 A ist auch bekannt, dass durch die Anreicherung von Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen mit Bor oder Kohlenstoff bei einer gerichteten Erstarrung Gefüge erzeugt werden, welche eine äquiaxiale oder prismatische Kornstruktur aufweisen. Kohlenstoff und Bor festigen die Korngrenzen, da C und B die Ausscheidung von Karbiden und Boriden an den Korngrenzen verursachen, welche bei hohen Temperaturen stabil sind. Ausserdem verringert die Anwesenheit dieser Elemente in den und entlang der Korngrenzen den Diffusionsprozess, der eine Hauptursache der Korngrenzenschwäche ist. Es ist daher möglich, die Desorientierungen auf 10° bis 12° zu erhöhen und trotzdem gute Eigenschaften des Materials bei hohen Temperaturen zu erzielen. Insbesondere bei grossen Einkristallkomponenten aus Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen beeinflussen diese Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen aber negativ die Eigenschaften.From the aforementioned GB 2 234 521 A is also known that by the Enrichment of nickel-based superalloys with boron or carbon a directed solidification microstructure are generated, which is an equiaxial or prismatic grain structure. Carbon and boron strengthen the Grain boundaries, as C and B to the precipitation of carbides and borides cause the grain boundaries, which are stable at high temperatures. Furthermore, the presence of these elements in and diminishes the grain boundaries the diffusion process, which is a major cause of Grain boundary weakness is. It is therefore possible to disorientation 10 ° to 12 ° increase and still good properties of the material at to achieve high temperatures. Especially with large Single crystal components of nickel-base superalloys influence these small angle grain boundaries but negatively the properties.

Die Legierung L1 ist eine Nickel-Basis-Superlegierung für Einkristall-Komponenten, deren Zusammensetzung unter den Patentanspruch der vorliegenden Erfindung fällt. Im Gegensatz dazu sind die Legierungen VL1, VL2, VL3 und VL4 Vergleichslegierungen, die unter den Bezeichnungen CMSX-11B, CMSX-6, CMSX-2 und René N5 bekannter Stand der Technik sind. Sie unterscheiden sich u.a. von der erfindungsgemässen Legierung vor allem darin, dass sie nicht mit C, B und Si legiert sind.Alloy L1 is a nickel base superalloy for single crystal components, their composition under the claim of present invention falls. In contrast, the alloys VL1, VL2, VL3 and VL4 comparative alloys under the designations CMSX-11B, CMSX-6, CMSX-2 and René N5 known prior art are. They differ, inter alia. from the alloy according to the invention all in that they are not alloyed with C, B and Si.

Kohlenstoff und Bor festigen die Korngrenzen, insbesondere auch die in <001>-Richtung bei SX- bzw. DS-Gasturbinenschaufeln aus Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen auftretenden Kleinwinkelkorngrenzen, da diese Elemente die Ausscheidung von Karbiden und Boriden an den Korngrenzen verursachen, welche bei hohen Temperaturen stabil sind. Ausserdem verringert die Anwesenheit dieser Elemente in den und entlang der Korngrenzen den Diffusionsprozess, der eine Hauptursache der Korngrenzenschwäche ist. Dadurch wird die Giessbarkeit langer Einkristall-Komponenten, beispielsweise Gasturbinenschaufeln mit einer Länge von ca. 200 bis 230 mm, erheblich verbessert.Carbon and boron strengthen the grain boundaries, especially those in <001> direction for SX or DS gas turbine blades made of nickel-base superalloys occurring small angle grain boundaries, as these elements the precipitation of carbides and borides at the grain boundaries which are stable at high temperatures. Moreover reduces the presence of these elements in and along the Grain boundaries the diffusion process, which is a major cause of Grain boundary weakness is. This results in the castability of long single crystal components, For example, gas turbine blades with a length of approx. 200 to 230 mm, significantly improved.

Durch die Zugabe von 0.11 bis 0.15 Gew.-% Si, vor allem in Kombination mit Hf in etwa gleicher Grössenordnung, wird eine wesentliche Verbesserung des Oxidationswiderstandes bei hohen Temperaturen gegenüber bisher bekannten Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen erzielt. Dies wird in den Fig. 1 bis 5 verdeutlicht, in welchen jeweils für die Vergleichslegierungen VL1 bis VL4 (Fig. 1 bis 4) und die erfindungsgemässe Legierung L1 (Fig. 5) ein quasiisothermisches Oxidationsdiagramm abgebildet ist. Für die genannten Legierungen ist jeweils die spezifische Masseveränderung Δm/A (Angaben in mg/cm2) bei Temperaturen von 800 °C, 950 °C, 1050 °C und 1100 °C im Bereich von 0 bis 1000 h dargestellt. Vergleicht man die Kurvenverläufe, so zeigt sich insbesondere bei den hohen Temperaturen (1000 °C) und den langen Auslagerungszeiten die Überlegenheit der erfindungsgemässen Legierung.The addition of 0.11 to 0.15 wt .-% Si, especially in combination with Hf in about the same order of magnitude, a significant improvement in the oxidation resistance at high temperatures compared to previously known nickel-based superalloys is achieved. This is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5, in which a quasi-isothermal oxidation diagram is shown in each case for the comparative alloys VL1 to VL4 (FIGS. 1 to 4) and the alloy L1 according to the invention (FIG. 5). The specific mass change Δm / A (data in mg / cm 2 ) at temperatures of 800 ° C., 950 ° C., 1050 ° C. and 1100 ° C. in the range from 0 to 1000 h is shown for the alloys mentioned. Comparing the curves, the superiority of the alloy according to the invention is particularly evident in the case of the high temperatures (1000 ° C.) and the long removal times.

Werden Nickel-Basis-Superlegierungen mit höheren C- und B-Gehalten (max. 750 ppm C und max. 400 ppm B) gemäss Anspruch 1 der Erfindung gewählt, so lassen sich die daraus hergestellten Komponenten auch konventionell giessen.Are nickel-base superalloys with higher C and B contents (max. 750 ppm C and max. 400 ppm B) selected according to claim 1 of the invention, Thus, the components produced from it can also be conventional to water.
