Abstract: Using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer, the casting microstructure of 12 tons of ingots of as-cast condition C650R nickel-based alloy used in the 650 ℃ultra-supercritical steam turbine rotor, smelted by the three-process method (VIM+PESR+VAR), and the microstructure after different homogenization treatments were studied. The high-temperature thermoplasticity before and after homogenization treatment was also compared. The results show that in the self-consumption ingots of ϕ960 mm ingot size produced using the three-process smelting method, there is a significant segregation. The main segregation elements are Mo, Nb, and Ti, which are segregated between dendrites. Within the crystal, the main precipitated phase is a MC-type primary carbide rich in Mo, Nb, Ti, and Zr. The carbides have an irregular shape, with small granular M23C6 primarily at the grain boundaries, along with a small amount of irregular MC-type primary carbide rich in Mo, Nb,and Ti. Based on the results of dendrite elimination, carbides re-dissolution, and changes in the residual segregation coefficients of three elements (Mo, Nb, Ti) after different homogenization treatments, it was determined that the homogenization process for a 12-ton C650 nickel-based alloy ingot should be 1 200 ℃-1 220 ℃ with a holding time of over 96 hours. Compared to the cast state, the samples after homogenization treatment show a significant improvement in high-temperature plasticity, which lays a favorable foundation for the smooth casting of the ingot.

摘要: 借助光学显微镜、扫描电子显微镜、能谱分析仪,研究了650 ℃超超临界汽轮机转子用C650R镍基合金三联工艺(VIM+PESR+VAR)冶炼的12 t铸锭冒口端的铸态组织及不同均匀化处理后的显微组织,并对比了均匀化处理前后的高温热塑性。结果表明,采用三联工艺冶炼的ϕ960 mm锭型的自耗锭中存在明显的偏析,主要偏析元素为Mo、Nb、Ti,均偏析于枝晶间,晶内主要析出相为富含Mo、Nb、Ti的MC型一次碳化物,碳化物形状不规则,晶界上以小颗粒状的M23C6为主,并含少量不规则的富含Mo、Nb、Ti、Zr的MC型一次碳化物。依据不同均匀化处理后枝晶消除、碳化物回溶、3种元素(Mo、Nb、Ti)残余偏析系数变化,确定了12 t级C650镍基合金铸锭的均匀化工艺为1 200~1 220 ℃保温96 h以上。与铸态相比,经均匀化处理后的试样高温热塑性显著增强,为铸锭顺利开坯奠定了有利基础。
