Formation of Gradient Structures in the Zone of Joining a Deformable Nickel Alloy and a Single-Crystal Intermetallic Alloy during Thermodiffusion Pressure Welding and Subsequent Heat Treatment

Аннотация

The possibility of formation of a high-quality solid-phase joint of an Ni₃Al-based single-crystal intermetallic VKNA-25 blade alloy with a high-temperature deformable EP975 disk alloy by pressure welding is studied to create high-performance one-piece blisk unit for the next-generation aviation gas turbine engines and to decrease the unit mass. The influence of the conditions of thermodiffusion pressure welding under the hightemperature superplasticity of the disk alloy and the influence of heat treatment of welded joints on the gradient structures in the welded joint zone and the structure at the periphery of the welded samples are investigated.
