摘要:
Stress relief for the rim of an integrally bladed rotor made from a forging preform is provided by forming a plurality of radially extending circumferentially spaced-apart slots around the periphery of the preform. The slots are forged closed in a subsequent forming step. An oxide layer on the slot surfaces prevents the surfaces from bonding together when forged closed. The blades are formed between slots during the forging or by machining after forging.
摘要:
A process for producing a fine grain forged superalloy article having a high yield strength at intermediate temperatures. A preferred starting composition comprises, by weight, 15% Cr, 13.6% Co, 4.1% Mo, 4.6% Ti, 2.2% Al, 0.01% C, 0.007% B, 0.07% Zr, balance Ni. This material is forged at a temperature above the gamma prime solvus and at a true strain of at least 0.5. Alternately, the material may be forged below the gamma prime solvus temperature with intermediate super solvus anneals. The overaged material is then worked at a temperature below the gamma prime solvus. The resultant fine grain material is then heat treated or can be further isothermally forged prior to heat treatment to produce complex shapes.
摘要:
A method is described for producing metallic articles, especially turbine disks, which have a hot-worked structure in one region and a warmworked structure in another region and thereby have properties which differ in different regions. The method comprises an initial hot-working step, an intermediate heat treatment step and a final warm-working step.
