Sidorov V.V., Rigin V.Y., Kablov D.Y. Organization of Cast Barstock Production from Modern Highly Heat-Resistant Cast Nickel Alloys
There have been developed super heat-resistant alloys for promising gas-turbine engines (GTE) of the 5th and 6th generation,and technologies of making such alloys. Techniques are indicated that allow, during melting, to considerably reduce harmful impurities contents, narrow the alloying intervals, considerably increase the yield, and, in terms of quality, reach the world standard levels. On the basis of the investigations conducted, there has been developed a technology of recycling 100% of foundry waste of engine producing plants and GTE blades after operation on engines. It is shown that the waste recycling by the developed technology makes it possible to produce cast barstock from heat-resistant alloys that by its quality is not inferior to metal made of new charge materials.
