Bondcoat developments for thermal barrier coatingsJones, Robert Edward January 1999 (has links)
The prime design considerations for modern nickel based superalloys for use in aero gas-turbine engines, are those of mechanical performance, namely good resistance to creep and fatigue with good toughness and microstructural phase stability. Design of the current generation of superalloys has attained these properties at the expense of environmental resistance. This design philosophy has lead to the widespread use of surface coatings technology to protect hot-section componentry from the harsh operating environment. The ongoing drive towards higher operating temperatures has lead to an interest, over the last few years, in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). TBCs are duplex coating systems consisting of a thin, insulating, ceramic layer over a metallic bondcoat. The bondcoat provides both environmental protection and the necessary adhesive interface to maintain the adherence of the ceramic during the rigours of operation. Central to the performance of a TBC system is the integrity and adherence of the alumina scale promoted by the bondcoat. This study aimed to design and optimise a novel bondcoat system that was capable of out-performing the current generation of bondcoats and progress the resultant coating into a production ready status. This was achieved by comparing the performance of a range of bondcoats of both novel and standard compositions, using the modified scratch test in conjunction with hot isothermal and cyclic furnace tests. The down selected system was then analysed using a range of techniques including optical and electron microscopy, XRD, WDS and SIMS in order to understand the failure mechanisms. The results of the testing programme lead to bondcoat chemistry changes and processing improvements that enabled better performance to be achieved. The bondcoat was optimised and taken to a production standard by using the Taguchi Method of fractional factorial experimental design. The resultant coating system offered a higher TBC/bondcoat interface temperature capability and extended the life of the system at more moderate temperatures, beyond that offered by systems currently available. The coating system has subsequently been run as a bondcoat for EB-PVD TBCs and has successfully completed the duty cycles on a number of development and test engines.

The formation of platinum aluminide coatings on IN-738 and their oxidation resistanceHanna, Muayyad Dawood January 1982 (has links)
Platinum alumnide coatings have been produced by first plating a thin layer of platinum usinq a fused salt platinum plating technique and then pack aluminizing using powder packs containingAl, NH4 C1 and Al 2 0 3 or Ni 2A1 3 , NH4 C1 and Al 203 . The chemistry and morphology of these coatings on IN-738 superalloy both in the ascoated and in the subsequently heat treated condition have been studied. The coating morphology and chemistry are highly dependent upon the thickness of the platinum layer, pack activity and time of processing. A relatively thick platinum layer (l0 pm) produced a coating with an outer Pt2A13 layer above other narrow layers. The Pt concentration decreases towards zero as the diffusion zone is approached. A second type, usually formed with a thin (5 pm) Pt layer is characterised by a marked interaction with the substrate. An outer Pt/U 2 layer is followed by a layer of NiAl containing fine precipitates of a chromiumtungsten rich phase. A lamella-like layer hiqh in chromium and other refractory elements exists at the coating/substrate interface in most of the as-coated samples. A third type of coating has been produced by a post-platinising heat treatment process prior to aluminizing. This type of coating is characterised by an outer duplex layer of PtAl 2 and Ni/U. Heat treatment of the as-formed coating results in interdiffusion between Al , Ni and Pt to produce an overall thickening of the coating layer and a decrease in the coating Al concentration. Thus a (Pt,Ni) Al or (Ni,Pt) Al outer layer may develop after heat treating these types of coatings at 1000°C for up to 1200 hours. In addition to this Widmanstatten sigma phase plates extending into the substrate are normally found beneath the outer layer after several hours' of heat treatment. Diffusion paths on pseudo-ternary phase diagrams are made to represent the phase constitution of the as-formed coatings. Isothermal oxidation tests in an oxygen atmosphere between 800 - 1000°C of different Pt-Al surfaces have been studied and the result of tests showed that the incorporation of Pt into the aluminide coatings enhance the oxidation resistance (particularly at 1000°C). Furthermore, thermal cyclic oxidation tests showed a remarkable improvement in oxide adherence over the simple aluminides.

Caracterização mecânica em temperaturas elevadas da Superliga MAR-M247 / Mechanical caracterization of MAR-M247 superalloy at high temperaturesDornelas, Dante Antonucci 16 March 2012 (has links)
A necessidade de trabalhos em altas temperaturas exige o desenvolvimento de materiais com elevada resistência química e mecânica em temperaturas que podem chegar próximas ao seu ponto de fusão. Em especial, os materiais empregados devem apresentar bom comportamento em fluência, de modo a suportar a combinação de altas tensões e altas temperaturas com o mínimo de deformação. O presente trabalho visa caracterizar a superliga MAR-M247, fornecida pela empresa Açotécnica, em condições de fluência para a produção de rotores empregados em turbocompressores automotivos. Os trabalhos são divididos em duas etapas. Na primeira estuda-se a melhor combinação de tratamentos térmicos de solubilização e envelhecimento, chegando à condição de solubilização por 5 horas a 1250?C e envelhecimento por 20 horas a 980?C. Um trabalho de outro aluno (SILVA, 2011) realiza o mesmo estudo para uma variação da superliga MAR-M247 em que o tântalo é totalmente substituído por nióbio. Neste caso, a melhor condição de tratamento é solubilização a 1260?C por 8 h seguida de envelhecimento duplo por 5 h a 880?C e 20 h a 780?C. Na segunda etapa, os materiais dos dois trabalhos, nas melhores condições de tratamento para cada um, são testados em condições de fluência a 850?C a 370, 390, 410 e 430 MPa. A superliga convencional apresenta os maiores valores de vida em fluência enquanto a modificada apresenta os maiores valores de ductilidade. A análise de fratura dos materiais ensaiados a 390 e 430 MPa mostra a presença massiva de carbonetos em toda a extensão da microestrutura, apresentando, em muitos casos, uma morfologia de \"escrita chinesa\". Apesar disso, todas as amostras apresentam grande quantidade de vazios, indicando que sua nucleação e crescimento são os responsáveis pela fratura do material. / The needing for high temperature work claim for new materials capable of maintain high strength and good corrosion resistance at temperatures that could reach values near their melting point. Such materials must be creep resistant to withstand high levels of tension and temperature. The aim of this work is the characterization of MAR-M247 under creep conditions for the production of automotive turbocharger rotors made by Açotécnica. The work is split in two steps. In the first one, the material is studied to find the best conditions for solution and ageing heat treatments. The result is a solution treatment at 1250?C for 5 h followed by aging at 980?C for 20 h. A work made by another student (SILVA, 2011) makes the same with a modification of MAR-M247 in which tantalum is completely substituted for niobium. The best condition for this case is a solution treatment at 1260?C for 8 h and a double aging treatment at 880?C for 5 h and 780?C for 20 h. At the second part of the work, both the materials are tested under creep conditions at 850?C with 370, 390, 410 and 430 MPa. The conventional superalloy shows the highest values for creep strength and the modified superalloy shows the highest ductility. Fracture surfaces for 390 and 430 MPa showed brittle carbides with \"chinese script\" morphology. Conversely, holes are present on all four materials what shall mean that its nucleation and growth was the most probably fracture path.

Overload effects on the fatigue crack propagation behaviour in Inconel 718Lundström, Erik January 2012 (has links)
In this master thesis, work done in the TURBO POWER project High temperature fatigue crack propagation in nickel-based superalloys during spring 2012 will be presented. The overall objective of this project is to develop and evaluate tools for designing against fatigue in gas turbine applications, with special focus on the crack propagation in the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718. Experiments have been performed to study the effect of initial overloads, and it has been shown that even for small initial overloads a significant reduction of the crack growth rate is received. Furthermore, FE simulations have been carried out in order to describe the local stress state in front of the crack tip since it is believed to control, at least partly the diffusion of oxygen into the crack tip and thus also the hold time crack growth behaviour of the material. Finally, an evaluation method for the stresses is presented, where the results are averaged over an identifiable process/damaged zone in front of the crack tip.

Face milling of nickel-based superalloys with coated and uncoated carbide toolsKöksal, Sakip January 2000 (has links)
Face milling machinability investigation of two difficult-to-machine nickel-based superalloys, namely Inconel 718 and Waspaloy, has been carried out with four different types of tungsten carbide tools under various cutting conditions. The tools comprised of one double-layer CVD-TiCN+Al2O3 coated (KC994M), two PVD-TiN coated (KC720 and KC730) and one uncoated (KMF) tungsten carbide tools. The objectives of the study include investigation of tool performance, failure modes and wear mechanisms under the cutting conditions employed. In addition, surface integrity of the machined surfaces, with regard to surface finish, subsurface microhardness and metallographic examination of the subsurface microstructure, was investigated. CVD-coated KC994M gave the best overall performance in terms of tool life at low and high cutting conditions on both workpieces. The second best-performing tool was the uncoated KMF grade which gave as high tool lives as KC994M at lower cutting speeds. However at higher cutting speeds, KMF was generally outperformed by PVD-TiN coated tools. Short tool lives were obtained at higher cutting speeds of 75 and 100 m/min due to premature failure by chipping. Tool wear at low cutting speed range was due to a combination of progressive microchipping and plucking through a fracture/attrition related wear mechanism associated with cyclic workpiece adhesion and detachment and abrasion/diffusion-related flank wear. Plucking and microchipping were the dominant wear mechanisms. Coating layers on the rake face of both CVD and PVD coated tools were almost completely removed within the first few seconds of cutting at all cutting speeds tested, thus becoming ineffective. On the flank face, however, they remained intact for a longer period and hence increasing tools performance at the medium cutting speed range. Analysis of the subsurface microstructures and microhardness measurements showed that plastic deformation was the predominant effect induced onto the machined surface, the degree of which influenced by the cutting speed, tool wear and prolonged machining. In addition surface irregularities in the form of tearing and embedded hard particles were found to occur which was mainly associated with the chipping dominated wear mode.

Evolutions de microstructure au cours du forgeage de l'alliage René 65 / rheological and microstructural behavior of y/y' Ni-based superalloy under hot forging conditionsCharpagne, Marie-Agathe 08 December 2016 (has links)
Les alliages à base Nickel polycristallins sont largement utilisés pour les pièces aéronautiques soumises à des sollicitations extrêmes en service. Des objectifs toujours plus ambitieux en termes de rendement énergétique des moteurs d’avions ont conduit les constructeurs à augmenter leur température de fonctionnement. Les nuances utilisées jusqu’alors dans les parties chaudes, tels que l’Inconel 718, n’ont pas une tenue mécanique suffisante à ces températures. Le René 65 est un nouvel alliage à microstructure γ-γ’ élaboré spécifiquement pour ces applications. Il a été retenu par Safran Aircraft Engines comme constituant des disques de turbine basse pression du nouveau turboréacteur LEAP. Pour garantir la bonne tenue des disques, une microstructure fine et homogène est requise. Le procédé de forgeage de ces pièces est une séquence d’étapes de déformation à chaud et de traitements thermiques, durant lesquelles la microstructure évolue. Si les phénomènes physiques gouvernant les évolutions microstructurales sont connus, leurs mécanismes exacts et leurs cinétiques varient d’un alliage à l’autre.Des essais de déformation à chaud ont été réalisés en laboratoire dans différentes conditions de température, vitesse et taux de déformation représentatifs des procédés industriels. L’étude précise des mécanismes de recristallisation dynamique, ainsi que de leurs cinétiques, constitue la première partie de ce travail. La caractérisation fine des microstructures déformées a permis de mettre en évidence un nouveau mécanisme de recristallisation, dit de recristallisation en hétéroépitaxie, qui se superpose aux autres mécanismes conventionnels. L’interaction entre ces différents mécanismes ainsi que leurs cinétiques relatives ont été établies dans une vaste gamme de conditions de déformation. Il est démontré que ce mécanisme de recristallisation s'applique également à d'autres alliages γ-γ’. La deuxième partie de l’étude est consacrée à la stabilité des microstructures déformées lors de leur exposition à haute température. L'alliage René 65, comme d’autres alliages à base Nickel, est sensible à un phénomène indésirable dit de croissance sélective de grains. Ses conditions de déclenchement ont été déterminées, de manière à délimiter une fenêtre de forgeage critique. Les mécanismes microstructuraux à l’origine de ce phénomène ont été discutés, ainsi que la possibilité d’une solution préventive. / Polycrystalline Nickel-based alloys are widely used as components for rotative parts of jet engines submitted to extreme conditions. Endlessly increasing objectives in terms of energy efficiency have led the engine manufacturers to increase their service temperature. As a consequence, Inconel 718 and similar alloys -that were used until now- cannot withstand such severe conditions anymore, and lack mechanical resistance at the increased temperature. René 65 is a new γ-γ’ superalloy which has been designed specifically for that purpose by General Electric. It has been selected by Safran Aircraft Engines as the material for low-pressure turbine disks in the new LEAP engine. To reach the desired mechanical properties, a fine and homogeneous microstructure is required. The forging process is a complex sequence which involves various hot deformation stages and thermal treatments, during which the microstructure evolves. Although the underlying mechanisms governing the microstructure evolutions are quite known, their specific mechanism and kinetics may vary depending on the alloy.Interrupted compression tests were conducted at laboratory scale under thermomechanical conditions (temperature, strain and strain rate) in accordance with the industrial process. In the first part, the focus is placed on the dynamic recrystallization mechanisms. Accurate characterization of the deformed microstructures has enabled to highlight a new recrystallization mechanism which superimposes with more conventional ones. It was named heteroepitaxial recrystallization. The interactions between those mechanisms as well as their relative kinetics have been established in a wide range of deformation conditions. . It is demonstrated that this mechanism occurs in other γ-γ’ Nickel-based alloys. The second part of the study is dedicated to the stability of deformed microstructures when exposed to high temperature thermal treatments. René 65, as many other Nickel-based alloys, is subjected to the undesirable phenomenon of selective grain growth, which leads to very heterogeneous microstructures containing abnormally large grains in a fine matrix. Critical deformation conditions leading to heterogeneous microstructures during subsequent annealing have been determined in an aim to identify the critical forging window which should be avoided. The microstructural mechanisms responsible of this phenomenon have been investigated, and the possibility of a preventive solution is discussed.

Řezání litých superlitin / On the cutting of cast superalloysMetelková, Jitka January 2016 (has links)
This work deals with the issue of defects generation during the separation of the castings from a nickel-based superalloy, Inconel 738LC. The technology of investment casting is presented, followed by a description of metallurgy of superalloys, their physical and mechanical properties, as well as their technical applications. The machinability of superalloys and method of castings separation were also described as well as some of the casting defects that were reported to have impact on the generation of the defects after cutting. In the experimental part, the material microstructure and casting defects were analyzed. The experimental machining part consisted first of a comparative study of the friction sawing and plasma arc cutting technology at the standard operating conditions actually used in production. Second, an optimization study for the friction sawing was carried out, with a special focus on the suitability of an alternative cutoff wheel for the chosen application. Application of this wheel allows reducing the security distance between the cut and the part, thus reducing the production cost of the part.
