In the field of aerospace, the choice of materials is directly related to the performance and safety of aircraft. Nickel-based high-temperature alloys have become the "heart" of aerospace materials due to their excellent high-temperature performance.


This article will take you to an in-depth understanding of the basic concepts, performance characteristics and applications of nickel-based high-temperature alloys in the field of aerospace.


What is nickel-based high-temperature alloy?

Nickel-based high-temperature alloys are alloy materials made of nickel as a matrix and adding a variety of alloying elements (such as chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, etc.). This type of alloy can still maintain excellent mechanical properties and oxidation resistance under high temperature environments, and is an indispensable key material in the aerospace field.


Performance characteristics of nickel-based high-temperature alloys

High-temperature strength

Nickel-based high-temperature alloys can still maintain high strength at high temperatures, thanks to their unique crystal structure and the strengthening effect of alloying elements.


Oxidation resistance

The dense oxide film formed on the surface of nickel-based high-temperature alloys can effectively prevent further erosion by oxygen and ensure the stability of the material in a high-temperature environment.


Corrosion resistance

Nickel-based high-temperature alloys have good resistance to a variety of corrosive media and are suitable for complex working environments.


Preparation process of nickel-based high-temperature alloys

The melting adopts vacuum induction melting (VIM) or electroslag remelting (ESR) and other methods to ensure the uniformity and purity of the alloy composition.


Forging Through the forging process, the microstructure of the alloy is optimized and its mechanical properties are improved.


Heat treatment Through the heat treatment process, the organizational structure of the alloy is adjusted to further improve its performance.


Application of nickel-based high-temperature alloys in the aerospace field

Engine blades Nickel-based high-temperature alloys are the main materials for manufacturing aircraft engine blades. Their high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance ensure the efficient operation of the engine.


Combustion chamber The combustion chamber is one of the hottest parts in the engine. The application of nickel-based high-temperature alloys here ensures the long-term stability of the combustion chamber.


Tail nozzle The tail nozzle is subjected to high temperature and high pressure during operation. The high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of nickel-based high-temperature alloys make it an ideal choice.


Example: Application of nickel-based high-temperature alloys

Case analysis case: Material selection for a certain type of aircraft engine blade

Material selection: Inconel 718 (a typical nickel-based high-temperature alloy)

Performance requirements: high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance

Application effect: significantly improve engine efficiency and extend service life


Summary

Nickel-based high-temperature alloys play a vital role in the aerospace field with their excellent high-temperature performance. Mastering their basic concepts, performance characteristics and application cases will help us better understand and apply this key material.
