Preparation methods of nickel-based alloys
The preparation methods of nickel-based alloys mainly include melting, casting, forging, and heat treatment. Among them, smelting is a key step in preparing nickel-based alloys, which requires controlling factors such as smelting temperature, smelting time, and smelting atmosphere. Casting is the main method for preparing nickel-based alloy castings, which can produce parts with complex shapes. Forging can improve the mechanical properties of nickel-based alloys and enhance the density and toughness of materials. Heat treatment can change nickel-based alloys' microstructure and phase composition, further improving their properties.
Application fields of nickel-based alloys
Nickel-based alloys are widely used in aviation, aerospace, petrochemical and other fields. In the aviation industry, nickel-based alloys can manufacture components for aircraft engines and gas turbines, such as turbine blades, guides, and discs. In aerospace, nickel-based alloys can manufacture key components such as combustion chambers, nozzles, and turbine discs for rocket engines. In the petrochemical industry, nickel-based alloys can manufacture key equipment such as high-temperature and high-pressure reactors and pipelines, such as hydrogenation and reforming reactors.
Future development trends of nickel-based alloys
With the continuous development of technology, nickel-based alloys will be more widely used and developed. The development trend of nickel-based alloys in the future mainly includes the following aspects:
High performance: With the increasing requirements for material performance in aviation, aerospace, petrochemical and other fields, nickel-based alloys need to further optimize their composition and preparation process to improve their performance to meet the growing demand.
