Abstract

Wide-gap brazing has been widely utilized as one of the go-to alternatives to welding in the repair of turbine components in the aerospace and power generation industries. In this study, differential scanning calorimetry, electron microscopy, and thermodynamic calculations were used to determine the influence of brazing time and temperature on the microstructural evolution for a layered wide-gap brazing process using a MAR-M247/BNi-9 system. Once liquefied, rapid braze infiltration into the MAR-M247 skeleton occurred via capillary action. During infiltration, partial and complete dissolution of the MAR-M247 skeleton occurred, which lead to diffusional solidification at 1068 \(^\circ \)C. Upon further and complete infiltration, it was found that rapid densification was achieved prior to isothermal brazing temperatures. The post-braze microstructure contained \(\gamma \)-Ni matrix grains, precipitated Cr, W, Mo-rich M\(_{x}\)B\(_{y}\) borides, athermal solidification products along matrix grain boundaries and triple junctions, as well as internal porosity. It was found that brazing temperature dictated the athermal solidification products with binary eutectic (CrB + \(\gamma \)-Ni) at 1150 \(^\circ \)C and ternary eutectic (Cr + \(\gamma \)-Ni + Ni\(_{3}\)B) at 1180 \(^\circ \)C and 1205 \(^\circ \)C. These findings agreed with Scheil–Gulliver predictions. Brazing time influenced the compositional homogeneity of the braze liquid, altering solidification behavior. This resulted in higher and lower solidification ranges for shorter and longer brazing times, respectively. Further, it was found that liquid fraction within the brazement increased with both brazing temperature and time, suggesting a persistent liquid phase. This finding was accompanied by an increase in volume fraction of athermally solidified intermetallics, consistent with an increase in liquid phase with increased brazing time and temperature. Lastly, \(\gamma \)-Ni grain growth occurred, although heterogeneity between the upper and lower regions of the brazement was observed. The upper region displayed larger grains on average when compared to the lower region. This was attributed to boride migration during liquid infiltration, which may have hindered grain growth via a grain boundary pinning mechanism.

时间和温度对使用 BNi-9 铜焊合金钎焊宽间隙 MAR-M247 镍超合金微观结构演变的影响
在航空航天和发电行业的涡轮机部件维修中,宽间隙钎焊已被广泛用作焊接的替代方法之一。本研究利用差示扫描量热仪、电子显微镜和热力学计算来确定钎焊时间和温度对使用 MAR-M247/BNi-9 系统的分层宽间隙钎焊工艺的微观结构演变的影响。液化后,钎料通过毛细作用迅速渗入 MAR-M247 骨架。在渗入过程中,MAR-M247 骨架发生了部分和完全溶解,导致在 1068 \(^\circ \)C温度下扩散凝固。在进一步完全浸润后,发现在等温钎焊温度之前就已经实现了快速致密化。钎焊后的微观结构包含了(伽马)-镍基体晶粒、析出的铬、钨、富钼硼化物、沿基体晶界和三交界的热凝固产物以及内部气孔。研究发现,钎焊温度决定了热凝固产物,二元共晶(CrB + \(γ \)-Ni )在 1150 \(^\circ \)C,三元共晶(Cr + \(γ \)-Ni + Ni\(_{3}\)B )在 1180 \(^\circ \)C和 1205 \(^\circ \)C。这些发现与 Scheil-Gulliver 的预测一致。钎焊时间会影响钎焊液的成分均匀性,从而改变凝固行为。这导致钎焊时间越短和越长,凝固范围分别越大和越小。此外,研究还发现,钎焊温度和钎焊时间都会增加钎焊液中的液体成分,这表明液相会持续存在。伴随这一发现的是热凝固金属间化合物体积分数的增加,这与液相随钎焊时间和温度的增加而增加是一致的。最后,\(\gamma \)-Ni晶粒发生了生长,尽管在钎焊的上部和下部区域之间观察到了异质性。与下部区域相比,上部区域平均显示出更大的晶粒。这归因于液体渗入过程中硼化物的迁移,它可能通过晶界钉机制阻碍了晶粒的生长。
