Abstract

A method of producing titanium semi-finished or ready-to-use products from titanium oxide powders and/or pellets is disclosed. The method produces products that are not affected adversely by levels of chlorine that have an impact on performance, particularly weldability, of products made by other methods.

Description

The manufacturing of titanium
The present invention relates to the manufacturing of a kind of titanium metal and titanium metal alloy.
The present invention especially but be to relate to a kind of manufacture method of making half-finished or standby titanium metal (comprising titanium alloy) product uniquely anything but, these products are products as thin slice, rod, pipe and other form of the titanium metal that obtains from titanium dioxide powder and/or pelletizing.
Now, Kroll and Hunter method are only commercial runs that is used to make titanium metal.
These methods comprise TiCl 4Carry out chemical reduction with molten magnesium or sodium metal in a sealed reactor, this reactor has been evacuated and has used the rare gas element backfill.In a method, the material after reduction is finished in thermal reactor is by metal and the muriate of vacuum distilling with the vaporization magnesium and sodium.Make this reactor cooling and from reactor, reclaim solid material, i.e. titanium sponge then.
This titanium sponge can use two kinds of methods to process.
A kind of method is again a melting method, is included in the inert atmosphere fusion titanium sponge and forms ingot casting from molten mass.Afterwards, this ingot casting quilt is by being processed into work in-process or alternate products as forging, hot-work technology rolling and extruding, such as the product of thin slice, rod, pipe and other form.
Another kind method is direct drawing method, comprises this titanium sponge is crushed to granular normally powder and uses the standard powder metallurgical processing method as roll compaction that particle directly is pressed into work in-process or alternate products.
Kroll and shortcoming of Hunter product of forming by direct drawing method are that the weldability of this product when using the welding technology welding is relatively poor.Thereby relatively poor weldability is owing to the instability of the chlorine that is generally 1000-1500ppm and tungsten electrode reaction the causing electric arc of the high density in product when these products of arc-welding.
Relatively poor weldability is not because fused product has lower basically cl concn again by the problem of the Kroll of scorification formation again and Hunter product.Yet scorification is a kind of method more expensive than straight pressing again.
EI Du Pont Nemours ﹠amp in the fifties in 20th century and the sixties; Company has developed following technology and product:
A) a kind of technology that is used to make titanium metal powder, this technology are applicable to that by powder metallurgic method directly compacting is to form the titanium metal product of work in-process or backup form, such as the product of thin slice, rod, pipe and other form; With
B) a kind of titanium metal powder processing technology that is used to make these end products.
Du Pont technical description comprises United States Patent (USP) 29846560,3072347,3478136 and 3084042 in a lot of United States Patent (USP)s.
The Kroll method is the source technology that is used for titanium sponge that is used by Du Pont in Du Pont technology.
Du Pont finds that it can make a kind of frangible titanium sponge metal, and this titanium sponge grinds when having salt to exist can make a kind of highly purified needle powder.Du Pont finds that also this powder is to be applicable to well in the roll gap of milling train directly to suppress to make thin slice.In addition, Du Pont finds that this powder can be applicable to well and is pressed into blank, then, this blank can in squeezer, be processed to half-finished or alternate products as rod, pipe and other shape.
Yet Du Pont finds that the weldability of Du Pont product is relatively poor.
As the situation of the Kroll product of the direct compacting made from routine, the weldability difference of Du Pont product is owing to the chlorine in the product.
Du Pont has reported following discovery: the chlorine in the Kroll product volatilizees fast in welding and causes the accumulation of salt on the tungsten grid for welding, and this has caused unsettled electric arc and has finally caused the weldability of difference.The amount of chlorine is greater than 50ppm.
Problem and final Du Pont that Du Pont can not reduce the weldability difference that the concentration of chlorine in the titanium metal or otherwise address cause because of chlorine do not make this technology commercialization.
The applicant has carried out big quantity research to the electrochemical method that is used to reduce as the metal oxide of titanium oxide.
Applicant's electrochemical process is described among International Application PCT/AU03/00306 of applicant with embodiment.Disclosure in the international application at this by cross reference.
Applicant's electrochemical process is the substitute technology of a kind of Kroll and Hunter method.
Described in applicant's electrochemical process such as the international application relate to a kind of in electrolyzer the solid-state metal oxide of reduction, this electrolyzer comprises an anode, negative electrode and a kind of molten electrolyte that comprises a kind of metallic cation that can the chemical reduction metal oxide.
International application is paid close attention to especially as the titanium oxide with titanium dioxide and is reduced into titanium metal.
Electrochemical process as the applicant described in the international application is characterised in that following operation steps: metal can be deposited on the negative electrode with metallic forms under the current potential of the current potential that is higher than metallic cation that can the chemical reduction metal oxide, and this metallochemistry reduces this metal oxide thus.
Although the applicant has been surprised to find powder and/or pelletizing that applicant's electrochemical process has made the titanium metal (also comprising titanium alloy) with high concentration cl, this chlorine not to the weldability that makes product from powder and/or pelletizing produce with the Kroll that forms by straight pressing and Hunter product the identical harmful effect of situation of chlorine.
Applicant's test work shows that the electrochemical process by the applicant has significantly much better weldability from the product that titanium metal makes than those Kroll products, can compare with the Hunter product with the Kroll that straight pressing forms although the cl concn of this product has, be generally 1000-1500ppm.
The applicant believes that Kroll that straight pressing forms is the key factor of cl concn to the relative little influence of weldability generation of applicant's product with chlorine form (mainly being magnesium chloride and sodium-chlor) and the chlorine form (mainly being calcium chloride) in applicant's product in the Hunter product.
Exactly, the chlorine in the Kroll of straight pressing and the Hunter product can think and be a kind of evaporable form that is easier to, the chlorosity of this form easily and the tungsten of grid for welding react and make the electric arc instability.
On the other hand, the chlorine in applicant's product seem be not easy to the volatilization.
This is a great discovery, because it means that not needing titanium metal powder that the electrochemical process to the applicant makes and/or pelletizing to carry out a large amount of back electrolyzers handles to reduce cl concn to usually less than the concentration of 50ppm.Consider the Kroll that straight pressing makes and the experience of Hunter product, it is essential with the work in-process that obtain to make from titanium metal powder and/or pelletizing or the acceptable weldability of alternate products that these cl concns are considered to.Therefore, under weldability was important situation, applicant's product can be the surrogate of the lower cost of the Kroll that makes by melt-processed method again and Hunter product.
