Metal material high-temperature processing method and device under a kind of resultant field
Technical field
The present invention relates under a kind of magnetic field condition metal material be carried out the method and the device of high-temperature process, be specifically related to a kind of high-temperature processing method and device that utilizes the resultant field improvement of terms metal solidification texture of pulsed magnetic field and superconducting intense magnetic field formation.
Background technology
The solidified structure of metal plays decisive role to the quality and the performance of its product, is the important content of metal solidification process research to the control of metal solidification texture.Evenly tiny equi-axed crystal can improve the mechanical property of material, and the anisotropy of microstructure also is the critical nature of functional material simultaneously.Therefore, rationally control the grain structure of material and to solidify crystal orientation be two subject matters that face in the metal freezing technology.
Adopt traditional solidification technology, be thick column crystal or arborescent structure as what continuous casting, continuous casting and rolling and conventional cast method obtained.The refinement technology of material grains tissue mainly adopts following three kinds of means at present: the one, by in molten metal, adding alterant, increase nucleation rate, and thinning microstructure, this method all pollutes material itself and environment; The 2nd, control cooling velocity and pouring temperature improve cooling velocity the molten metal degree of supercooling are improved, and increase nucleation rate, but be difficult to improve the inside cooling velocity of heavy castings, and can produce the defective of internal stress, the control of pouring temperature is subjected to the restriction of working condition, acts on very limited; The 3rd, by forcing stirring, impel dendrite fragmentation, crystal grain quantity is increased, size reduces, but deficiency is: refining effect is not obvious, stirs easily to be involved in air and impurity the low effect that influences temperature field and homogenization of composition of stirring intensity, particularly continuous casting facts have proved, strong stirring can make strand cause banded segregation.
Applying pulsed magnetic field in metallic solution can have significant thinning effect to the metal grain tissue, and to material and environmental nonpollution, is a new technology controlling metal solidification texture at present.The melt vibration that pulsed magnetic pressure causes causes the obvious refinement of crystal grain, nodularization; Violent forced convection promotes crystal grain free from the type wall, increases the nucleation rate of metal bath greatly.
For the crystal orientation control technology in the material solidification process, mainly according to each magnetic susceptibility difference of crystal, utilize magnetic field Lorentz power effect at present, obtain to be parallel to the axially texture of magnetic direction.Magnetic field can be applied in the directional solidification process.Magnetic field only can apply effect to the orientation of the forming core crystal grain in the Quench thin layer of initial solidification, owing to lack the melt space that crystal grain freely is orientated, causes the magnetic field effect not obvious.Magnetic field puts in the common process of setting more at present, and the advantage of comparing directional solidification is that the melt space that forming core crystal grain freely is orientated is bigger, and the magnetic field long action time is easier to produce axially texture.Along with the appearance of the above superconducting intense magnetic field of 5T, the effect of the Lorentz power in the high-intensity magnetic field is more obvious, and to namagnetic substance the possibility that becomes of the utilization of uncared-for magnetizing force always.Therefore, the crystalline orientation control down of relevant magnetic field, and solidify with the theory and application research of crystallization again and begin to be subjected to general attention.
