Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to cast gas turbine engine components and their method of manufacture. More particularly, in one embodiment of the present invention, a multi-airfoil vane segment is produced as a single crystal casting from a Rhenium containing directionally solidified (DS) chemistry alloy.
  • DS directionally solidified
  • the performance of a gas turbine engine generally increases with an increase in the operating temperature of a high temperature working fluid flowing from a combustion chamber.
  • One factor recognized by gas turbine engine designers as limiting the allowable temperature of the working fluid is the capability of the engine components to not degrade when exposed to the high temperature working fluid.
  • the airfoils, such as blades and vanes, within the engine are among the components exposed to significant thermal and kinetic loading during engine operation.
  • Many gas turbine engines utilize cast components formed of a nickel or cobalt alloy.
  • the components can be cast as a polycrystalline, directionally solidified, or single crystal structure.
  • the most desirable material properties are associated with the single crystal structure.
  • the geometry of some components, such as the multi-airfoil vane segment causes difficulty during the casting process largely association with grain or crystal defects.
  • Single crystal alloys are not tolerant to these types of defects and therefore castings, which exhibit these defects, are generally not suitable for engine use. Thus, the casting yields are lower and consequently the cost to manufacture the component increases.
  • a directionally solidified component has material properties between single crystal and polycrystalline and are easier to produce than single crystal components.
  • Directionally solidified components are generally defined as multi-crystal structure with columnar grains and are generally cast from a directionally solidified alloy containing grain boundary strengtheners.
  • the directionally solidified component is best suited for designs where the stress field is oriented along the columnar grains and the stress filed transverse to the columnar grain is minimized.
  • the stress fields are elevated along the airfoils and in a transverse direction associated the inner and outer shrouds which tie the airfoils together.

  • a gas turbine engine 20 which includes a fan section 21, a compressor section 22, a combustor section 23, and a turbine section 24 that are integrated together to produce an aircraft flight propulsion engine.
  • This type of gas turbine engine is generally referred to as a turbo-fan.
  • One alternate form of a gas turbine engine includes a compressor, a combustor, and a turbine that have been integrated together to produce an aircraft flight propulsion engine without the fan section.
  • aircraft is generic and includes helicopters, airplanes, missiles, unmanned space devices and any other substantially similar devices. It is important to realize that there are a multitude of ways in which the gas turbine engine components can be linked together. Additional compressors and turbines could be added with intercoolers connecting between the compressors and reheat combustion chambers could be added between the turbines.
  • a gas turbine engine is equally suited to be used for an industrial application.
  • industrial gas turbine engines such as pumping sets for gas and oil transmission lines, electricity generation, and naval propulsion.
  • the compressor section 22 includes a rotor 25 having a plurality of compressor blades 26 coupled thereto.

  • the gas turbine engine vane is a solid single-cast single crystal structure produced by single crystal casting techniques utilizing a directionally solidified alloy composition.
  • the present invention contemplates gas turbine engine vanes having internal cooling passageways and apertures for the passage of a cooling media. Cast single crystal casting techniques are believed known to those of ordinary skill in the art. One process for producing a cast single crystal structure is set forth in United States Patent No. 5,295,530 to O'Connor, which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the material utilized to produce the cast single crystal structure is a directionally solidified alloy, which often is referred to as a DS alloy. More preferably, the alloy is a second-generation directionally solidified superalloy. Second-generation directionally solidified superalloys have creep rupture strengths similar to first generation single crystal superalloys, such as CMSX-2 ® and CMSX-3® at up to 1000 degrees centigrade. For example in Fig. 3 , there is illustrated a Larson-Miller Plot showing the strength of CM 186 LC in comparison to CMSX 2/3 and CM247LC.
  • Examples of the second-generation superalloys include, but are not intended to be limited herein to: PWA 1426 (a Pratt & Whitney product); René 142 (a General Electric product); and, CM186 LC (a Cannon -Muskegon product).

  • René 142 a General Electric product
  • CM186 LC a Cannon -Muskegon product
  • Other directionally solidified alloys are contemplated herein for use in producing a cast single crystal structure.
  • Each of the directionally solidified alloys include grain boundary strengtheners that are designed to increase grain boundary strength.
  • the alloys PWA 1426, Rene 142 and CM186 LC each include boron, carbon, hafnium, and zirconium as their grain boundary strengtheners.
  • Other directionally solidified alloys containing grain boundary strengtheners are contemplated herein.
  • a grain boundary is generally defined as a region in the cast component of non-oriented structure having a width of only a few atomic diameters which serves to accommodate the crystallographic orientation difference or mismatch between adjacent grains. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that neither low angle grain boundaries nor high angle grain boundaries will be present in a theoretical "single crystal". However, it will be further appreciated that although there may be one or more grain boundaries present in commercial single crystal structures, they are still characterized as a single crystal structure. Further, manufacturing processes more tolerant of these crystal anomalies are inherently less expensive.

The molten directionally solidified alloy contacts the starter seed 62 and causes the partial melt back thereof.
  • the starter seed 62 is not in contact with a chill 65. More preferably an insulator 90 is disposed between the starter seed 62 and the chill 65. The insulator 90 functions to thermally insulate the starter seed 62 from the cooling chill 65 and thus promote melting of a portion of the starter seed.
  • the directionally solidified alloy is solidified by a thermal gradient moving vertically through the casting mold. More particularly, the directionally solidified alloy is solidified epitaxially from the unmelted portion of the starter seed 62 to form the single crystal product.
  • the thermal gradient for solidifying the directionally solidified alloy is produced by a combination of mold heating and mold cooling.
  • One system for effectuating the thermal gradient in the mold comprises a mold heater, a mold cooling cone, a chill and the withdrawal of the structure being cast. Further details related to the growing of single crystal alloy structures are believed known to those of ordinary skill in the art and therefore have not been provided.
  • the cast single crystal alloy product has been described in terms of a vane segment, however other cast single crystal product configurations formed of a directionally solidified alloy, such as blades seals, shrouds, blade tracks, nozzle liners and other components subjected to high temperature and stress are contemplated herein.
  • the starter seed 62 is formed and/or oriented such that the seeds ⁇ 001> (primary orientation) crystal direction is substantially parallel with a tangent A, and the seeds ⁇ 010> (secondary orientation) crystal direction is substantially parallel with the average airfoil stacking axis B.
  • the average airfoil stacking axis B is generally defined by the average of each airfoil stacking axis B 1 , B 2 , B 3 , and B 4 .

  • the present invention is not limited to the use of a starter seed to impart the crystallographic structure to the crystal being grown.
  • Single crystals can be grown by techniques generally known to one of ordinary skill in the art, such as utilizing thermal nucleation and the selection of a grain for continued growth with a pigtail sorting structure.
  • the cast single crystal vane segment can be used without the long homogenization heat treat cycles commonly used to maximize properties of cast single crystal articles.
  • the article can be used in a fully heat treated condition.
  • the fully heat treated article maximizes stress rupture and minimizes the formation of deleterious topologically close packed (TCP) phases such as sigma upon the long term exposure of the article to high temperature and stress.
