摘要

为探明服役过程中温度和应力快速叠加造成的涡轮盘损伤,本工作以涡轮盘用难变形GH4151合金为例,采用SEM、TEM、EDS和EPMA等表征手段,研究了不同温度下GH4151合金的拉伸行为和显微组织演化规律,分析了拉伸断裂失效机制。结果表明,随实验温度升高,GH4151合金的塑性呈现出先减小后增大的趋势,断裂方式由混合断裂逐渐向沿晶断裂转变。共格γ/γ′界面和MC界面位错塞积是导致混合断裂产生的主要原因,晶界位错塞积加速了高温高应力下O原子向晶界弹性应力场或缺陷处的富集,导致晶界动态脆化,引起沿晶断裂,造成GH4151合金在650~800 ℃高温拉伸时塑性下降。950 ℃拉伸时,GH4151合金强度迅速下降,裂纹以较慢的速率扩展,导致塑性增加。

Abstract

GH4151 is a heavy alloy, hard-to-deform Ni-based superalloy with service temperatures reaching up to 750-800 oC. It is an important candidate material for high-temperature alloys used in the turbine disks of the new-generation advanced aeroengines. During service, the rapid superposition of temperature and stress makes turbine disks susceptible to damage. This study explores the use of hard-to-deform GH4151 alloy used for turbine disks. The tensile behavior of the GH4151 alloy within a temperature range of 23-950 oC was investigated using advanced techniques such as SEM, TEM, EDS, and EPMA. The microstructural changes, deformation microstructure, and their impact on the fracture mechanism were analyzed, and the fracture failure mechanisms of the alloy at various temperatures were elucidated. The results indicate that yield strength and tensile strength initially decrease gradually, followed by a rapid decline with increase in experimental temperature. Meanwhile, elongation after fracture of the alloy decreased initially and increased with increasing experimental temperature. The fracture mode transitioned from a mixed fracture to an intergranular fracture. Further research showed that during tensile testing at temperatures of 23-550 oC, deformation primarily occurred in the γ channels, with a significant accumulation of dislocations at the γ/γ′ interfaces. This led to the tearing of the γ/γ′ interfaces and the formation of microvoids, which in turn generated a transgranular fracture. The intergranular fracture within the mixed-fracture mode is attributed to the stress concentration at MC carbide interfaces, resulting in the formation of voids. During tensile testing at temperatures of 650-800 oC, cracks were initiated via an intergranular fracture, and propagated through mixed-fracture modes. Deformation occurred simultaneously in the γ channels and the γ′ phase. Dislocation pile-up at the grain boundaries accelerated the enrichment of O atoms toward the elastic stress fields or the enrichment of defects at the grain boundaries under high-temperature and high-stress conditions. Such enrichment led to dynamic embrittlement of the grain boundaries, causing intergranular fracture, which reduced the elongation after fracture. As the strain increased, crack propagation was accelerated, reducing the time available for the O atoms to dynamically embrittle the grain boundaries. When the accumulation of dislocations at the γ/γ′ interfaces reached a critical value, crack propagation shifted to a mixed-fracture mode dominated by transgranular fracture. During tensile testing at 950 oC, cracks were initiated and propagated via intergranular fracture. The morphology of the γ′ phase changed to an approximately spherical shape, reducing the hindrance to dislocation motion. This reduction did not lead to the coalescence of microvoids at the γ/γ′ interfaces, and thus, no transgranular fracture occurred in the samples tested at 950 oC. Because of the decrease in tensile strength at 950 oC, the external stress applied was reduced, and crack propagation slowed down, elongation was increased.
