METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF ARTICLES FROM HIGH-TEMPERATURE NICKEL ALLOY Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C22F1/10 B21J5/06 

FIELD: metallurgy; production of semi-finished products from high-temperature high-alloy wrought nickel-based alloys for manufacture of disks for gas-turbine engines working at temperatures higher than 600°C.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes preliminary deformation of blank by upsetting by two or more times, final deformation and heat treatment; first upsetting is performed in closed container; during next upsetting, technological metal ring at temperature of (0.02-0.5)T_def. is placed on blank heated to deformation temperature T_def. and free upsetting is performed in stamp tool heated to deformation temperature. Geometric parameters of ring are selected from given relationships. Preliminary deformation of blank is performed at intermediate annealing. Height-to-diameter ratio of starting blanks is no less than 3:1. Proposed method ensures forming of homogeneous fine-grain structure over entire volume of blank due to work in end zones.

EFFECT: simplified procedure; reduced labor consumption.
