摘要:

針對(duì)組模生產(chǎn)第四代單晶高溫合金葉片時(shí)由于溫度場(chǎng)不均勻?qū)е碌木壈咫s晶問(wèn)題，采用有限元模擬軟件ProCAST對(duì)葉片在組模中以不同方式排列時(shí)凝固過(guò)程的溫度場(chǎng)和晶粒組織進(jìn)行模擬計(jì)算，并且分析了添加引晶桿對(duì)雜晶的影響。結(jié)果表明，在組模生產(chǎn)時(shí)，由于中柱的保溫作用小，導(dǎo)致橫向溫度場(chǎng)不均勻，葉片以0°排列時(shí)，緣板邊角靠近中柱，其凝固過(guò)程中溫度下降較快，會(huì)在邊角形成大的過(guò)冷，同時(shí)凝固過(guò)程的溫度梯度較小，枝晶生長(zhǎng)慢，雜晶的形成傾向最大。隨著排列角度的增加，橫向溫度場(chǎng)的不均勻性得到改善，但由于第四代合金形核過(guò)冷度小，在緣板位置都會(huì)有雜晶形成。添加引晶桿可以消除緣板雜晶，但對(duì)于葉片以0°排列時(shí)，由于葉片進(jìn)氣邊靠近中柱，會(huì)在引晶桿內(nèi)產(chǎn)生雜晶。葉片以90°排列時(shí)，橫向溫度場(chǎng)較為均勻，添加的引晶桿內(nèi)不會(huì)產(chǎn)生雜晶，同時(shí)組模直徑小，可以降低對(duì)爐體型腔的尺寸要求，有望成為生產(chǎn)高代次單晶葉片的最優(yōu)排列方式。

Abstract:

For the problem of stray grain caused by uneven temperature field in the module production of fourth-generation single crystal blades, the finite element simulation software ProCAST was used to simulate the temperature field and grain structure during the solidification process when the blades were arranged in different ways and analyzed the influence of adding crystal guide rod on the stray grain. The results show that transverse temperature field is uneven for the small heat preservation effect of the center pillar in the module production. So when the blades are arranged at 0°, the edge corner of the platform is close to the center pillar, and the temperature drops rapidly during the solidification process, resulting in large undercooling at the edge corner. At the same time, the temperature gradient is small, the dendrites grow slowly, so the formation tendency of stray grain is the largest. With the increase of the angle, the non�瞮niformity of the transverse temperature field is improved, but due to the low degree of nucleation undercooling of the fourth-generation alloy, there will be stray grain formation at the platform position. The stray grain can be eliminated by adding the crystal guide rod, however when the blades are arranged at 0°, due to the inlet edge of the blades near the center pillar, there will be stray grain in the crystal guide rod. When the blades are arranged at 90°, the transverse temperature field is more uniform, there is no stray grain in the crystal guide rod, and the module diameter is small, which can reduce the size requirements of the furnace body, and is expected to become the optimal arrangement for the production of high-generation single-crystal blades.
