A kind of super large/thick size ingot-casting production method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of production method of cast metals, relate in particular to the difficult super large of producing such as the method that adopts die casting and electroslag remelting or the production of super thick size ingot-casting, belong to casting field.
Background technology
The production of large size ingot-casting is the difficult point place of casting field always, but there is very large demand in market for large specification steel, the mould steel, boiler vessel that comprises large specification with steel and nuclear power with steel etc.The casting method of producing at present large specification ESR ingot mainly comprises die casting, these two kinds of methods of electroslag remelting.Because the restriction of cooling condition, there is very large defective the production aspect that is moulded into large specification ingot shape, it is general that serious segregation and center porosity can appear in ingot casting after diameter or thickness surpass 1000mm, cause detecting a flaw can't by or properties of product do not reach requirement.Although and the intensity of cooling of electroslag remelting is better than die casting, along with the increase of ingot shape size, the intensity of cooling at ESR ingot center more and more a little less than, after diameter or thickness surpass 1200mm, the solidifying segregation control of ESR ingot is just become very difficult.According to solidification theory, in the casting process of steel ingot, local solidification time has determined the quality of ingot solidification quality.Local solidification time represents with following formula:
t
LST=δ
TLS/ε
In the formula, t
LSTThe expression local solidification time, δ
TLSThe liquidus curve of expression molten steel and the temperature difference between the solidus, ε represents cooling velocity.Therefore, in the situation that steel grades is determined, want to obtain to have the low segregation of good Solidification Quality, low loose ingot casting, must have faster cooling velocity, and along with the diameter of ingot casting surpasses critical dimension, the cooling velocity at conventional die castings or electroslag remelting ingot casting center significantly descends, and can't satisfy the requirement to Solidification Quality control.
The metallargist has expected that the small dimension ingot casting that will have good Solidification Quality connects by certain mode by being similar to the mode of " assembling " thus, thereby " assembling " becomes large size ingot-casting.According to patent retrieval, application number is the production method that 200810249817.7 Chinese patent literature discloses a kind of ingot casting, employing is with two block casting bases combination stack, and the electron-beam welder vacuum chamber of packing into vacuumizes, and adopts the method for electron beam welding sealing side seam to produce super-thick steel plate.The method can only be produced heavy slab, and can not produce large specification billet, and utilizes the method for electron gun welding can only make the degree of depth more shallow below the surface be able to seam, and can not make two boards base real " assembling " become a slab.
Therefore, along with the increase of ingot shape size (diameter or thickness), in the casting process intensity of cooling of middle part more and more a little less than, based on the result of metal solidification process choosing minute crystallization, in the centre of large size ingot-casting serious segregation and rarefaction defect can appear.Under current technical conditions, no matter be traditional die casting, or traditional electroslag remelting technique all can't satisfy super large or super thick size ingot-casting to the demand of Solidification Quality.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide the production method of a kind of super large or super thick size ingot-casting, and it has solved the serious deficiency of ingot casting central defect of producing in the existing method.
