Preparation method of cobalt-chromium-based alloy seamless tube with high strength and high plasticity
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cobalt-chromium-based alloy pipe processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a cobalt-chromium-based alloy seamless pipe with high strength and high plasticity.
Background
Cobalt-chromium-based alloys have been widely used in the fields of gas turbines, dentistry, orthopedics, cardiovascular and the like due to their excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and good biocompatibility. Particularly in the cardiovascular field, the high-strength cobalt-based alloy stent can reduce the width of a stay (the width of the current thinnest connecting rib is 50 mu m) to the greatest extent on the premise of ensuring the radial supporting strength and the ray visibility, thereby reducing the stimulation of the vascular stent to the vascular wall, further reducing the potential cause of stent restenosis and improving the success rate of implantation of the vascular stent. Meanwhile, in the process of stent expansion, the stent can generate plastic deformation, stress concentration can occur at the stent node, and fracture can occur. According to ISO and ASTM standards, L605 alloy in the working state Rp >1GPa, rm >1.2GPa, A >5%, annealed state Rp >500MPa, rm >900MPa, A >30%, therefore, the raw material for the stent-seamless pipe must have both high strength and high ductility.
But the strength-elongation of metallic materials tends to be an "inverted" relationship. According to the Hall-Petch relationship, the fine-grain structure (several tens of nanometers to several tens of micrometers) has higher strength but lower ductility, while the coarse-grain structure has higher elongation but lower strength. Reasonable control of grain size and distribution of metallic materials is an effective approach to solving the high strength-high elongation balance.
At present, a tube blank for preparing the cobalt-chromium-based alloy tube is generally prepared by centrifugal casting or hot extrusion, and further adopts a rotary forging/rolling/cold drawing process. For example, chinese patent No. CN113680985B discloses a preparation method of a low-cost short-flow high-temperature alloy seamless pipe, which adopts a centrifugal casting pipe blank and a rolling method to prepare the seamless pipe, the core process is a vacuum centrifugal casting technology, and Chinese patent No. CN 105331913B discloses a method for preparing a high-temperature alloy Inconel 625 pipe by short-flow hot extrusion and cold drawing, and the core process is a hot extrusion technology. The two patents are mainly focused on the short-process preparation of the tube blank, the single-pass deformation amount of the subsequent common rolling/drawing is smaller, the casting or hot extrusion coarse tissues are difficult to effectively crush, the cobalt-chromium alloy is fast in work hardening, the grain size is larger due to frequent heat treatment, and the high strength and the high plasticity are difficult to simultaneously achieve. In summary, aiming at the field of cobalt-chromium-based alloy seamless pipe preparation, a method for simultaneously improving the high strength and the elongation of a pipe is not related at present. There is therefore a need for improvements.
