A kind of preparation method of model casting TiAl base alloy shell mould
Technical field
The invention belongs to the precision casting technology field, be specifically related to a kind of preparation method of model casting TiAl base alloy shell mould.
Background technology
TiAl base alloy has high strength, low-density, high elastic modulus, the advantages such as non-oxidizability and croop property are good, being a kind of very potential lightweight high-temperature structural material, is the class alloy [E.A.Loria.Quo vadis gamma titanium aluminide.Intermetallics.2001.9:997-1001] developed rapidly in the titanium casting field in the last few years.TiAl base alloy is expected to for the wing of the high temperature resistant component of the Aero-Space such as jet engine and turbine, auto industry and super speed vehicle, housing etc., be considered to have most the lightening fire resistant structural material [Li Jinshan of new generation of application potential, Zhang Tiebang, progress and the development trend of the .TiAl base intermetallic compounds such as Chang Hui. Chinese material progress .201029 (3): 1~2; Xinhua Wu.Review of alloy and process development of TiAl alloys.Intermetallics 14 (2006): 1114-1122].
Because TiAl base Alloy At Room Temperature plasticity is poor, obvious brittleness at room temperature is arranged, percentage elongation less than 1% in its drawing process, and in hot procedure, crystal grain can sharply be grown up, and causes further embrittlement, so machinability is very poor, and its application is met difficulty.
In view of the characteristic of TiAl base alloy, forging molding had obviously not only been required great effort but also waste material, particularly when making some complex-shaped parts, seemed especially unable to do what one wishes.So casting just naturally becomes the processing method that is suitable for TiAl base alloy, particularly nearly clean formation type technology---precision-investment casting.In the last few years, the type shell material of TiAl alloy precision commonly used casting had: 1. Delanium; 2. refractory metal (powder such as tungsten, molybdenum, niobium); 3. special type fire oxide (ZrO
2With some rare-earth oxides and calcium oxide thereof etc.), using more is the special type fire oxide widely.ZrO
2The ceramic shell thermal conductivity is low, and intensity is high, the titanium alloy casting of pourable high-quality.Its advantage is, for the molten titanium alloy, better chemical stability arranged, and particularly, by after appropriate grain size distribution, surface quality of continuous castings significantly improved.Due to ZrO
2What have has a superior function, and now also maximum to its research, much research has all concentrated on raising ZrO
2On surface layer shell mould performance.
