The high thrust-to-weight ratio requirements of modern aeroengines have made the service conditions of hot-end component materials increasingly stringent. Nickel-based superalloys are widely used in hot-end components such as blades of aeroengines due to their excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. This article will discuss the role of alloy elements, creep and fatigue characteristics of alloys, the development of high-temperature alloys and their applications in aeroengines, and the development trends of nickel-based single crystal alloys.
The excellent properties of nickel-based superalloys are due to their complex microstructure and the addition of multiple elements. Among them, elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten can improve the high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance of the alloy; elements such as aluminum and titanium can promote the deformation and processing performance of the alloy; and elements such as niobium and tantalum can improve the high-temperature stability and creep resistance of the alloy. performance. In addition, the addition of rare earth elements can improve the high-temperature mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the alloy. The incorporation of these elements not only affects the physical and chemical properties of the alloy, but also plays a vital role in the high-temperature performance and life of the alloy.
In addition to the influence of alloy elements, the creep and fatigue properties of alloys are also important factors affecting their high-temperature performance. Creep refers to the long-term deformation process of alloys after they are subjected to certain stress at high temperatures. Over time, the alloy can plastically deform, causing component failure. Fatigue refers to the damage and fatigue failure that occurs after the alloy is subjected to cyclic stress at high temperatures. In order to ensure the safety and reliability of aerospace engines, researchers have conducted extensive research on the creep and fatigue characteristics of alloys to optimize the microstructure and processing technology of the alloys and improve their high-temperature performance and lifespan.
In the development process of high-temperature alloys in my country, it has experienced a process from introduction to digestion and absorption to innovative development. With the wide application of high-temperature alloys in aerospace engines and other fields, my country’s high-temperature alloy industry has also developed rapidly. At present, my country’s high-temperature alloys have achieved comprehensive coverage from low-end to high-end, including nickel-based alloys, cobalt-based alloys, iron-based alloys and other varieties. Their applications in aerospace engines, gas turbines, nuclear power and other fields have also been widely promoted. .
In the future, as a key material in aerospace engines, the development trend of nickel-based single crystal alloys has also attracted much attention. On the one hand, with the development of aerospace engines and the continuous improvement of high-temperature performance and life requirements of materials, the composition design and microstructure optimization of alloys will become the focus of research. On the other hand, with the continuous emergence of new materials and new processes, alloy preparation and processing technology will also be further improved and perfected.
