Vacuum suction casting device and method for high-melting-point, high-activity and high-purity alloy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal casting, in particular to a vacuum suction casting device and method for high-melting-point, high-activity and high-purity alloy.
Background
High-temperature alloy, intermetallic compound, titanium alloy and other materials are widely applied to the fields of national defense, energy, aerospace and the like. Most of them have characteristics of high melting point and high activity. In addition, typical TiAl alloys of intermetallic compounds have very poor fluidity of alloy liquid and are difficult to mold. Therefore, scholars at home and abroad make various attempts to cast the high-melting-point, high-activity and high-purity alloy. Among them, vacuum suction casting processes originated in the 70's of the last century have attracted extensive interest from researchers. However, vacuum suction casting processes are commonly used for the preparation of low melting point, low activity materials and amorphous alloys. The bottom leakage type vacuum suction casting process and the antigravity suction casting process which are mature and applied at present can not meet the casting requirements of high-temperature alloy, intermetallic compounds and titanium alloy materials. For example, when the anti-gravity vacuum suction casting furnace is used for suction casting of TiAl intermetallic compounds, the suction nozzle and the preheated shell inevitably react with the high-melting-point and high-activity alloy liquid or generate inclusions, so that castings are polluted, the final oxygen content exceeds 1000ppm, and the alloy performance is greatly reduced. The graphite or boron nitride nozzle of the bottom leakage type vacuum suction casting equipment can also react with the alloy liquid at a higher temperature to cause pollution of the alloy liquid. In addition, in the existing bottom-leakage vacuum suction casting equipment for the high-melting-point alloy, a suction casting valve is not arranged in a through hole for communicating a smelting chamber and a suction casting chamber to control the alloy liquid, and a circulating water cooling system necessary in the bottom-leakage vacuum suction casting process can influence the uniformity of the superheat degree of the alloy liquid. Therefore, castings of large-size, high-melting-point and high-purity alloys prepared by the bottom-leakage vacuum suction casting process often have casting defects such as cold shut, undercasting, shrinkage porosity and air holes, and the success rate of suction casting is greatly reduced. Therefore, the development and invention of a vacuum suction casting process specially aiming at the alloy with high melting point, high activity and high purity are necessary, and the vacuum suction casting process has wide application value and market prospect.

The design idea of the invention is as follows:
aiming at the problems of difficult molding and easy pollution in the casting process of high-melting-point, high-activity and high-purity alloy materials represented by high-temperature alloys, intermetallic compounds and titanium alloys, the invention mainly carries out two-point innovation after the reference of the conventional bottom leakage type vacuum suction casting process. Firstly, the suction casting crucible adopts tungsten, niobium or tantalum alloy materials with high melting point, low activity and good thermal conductivity to replace graphite or boron nitride and other materials, so that clean smelting of alloy liquid with high melting point and high activity can be realized at higher temperature. In addition, when the large current is smelted, the circulating water arranged on the periphery of the suction casting crucible can ensure that the temperature of the suction casting crucible is below the melting point of the suction casting crucible, and further the cleanness of the gold liquid is maintained. Secondly, the suction casting valve is arranged to control the alloy liquid and quantitatively regulate and control the pressure difference. The suction casting valve is additionally arranged, so that the common phenomenon that part of the alloy liquid leaks in advance due to uneven superheat degree can be avoided; in addition, after the alloy liquid is ensured to have excellent fluidity, the existence of the suction casting valve can ensure that the highest pressure difference of the smelting chamber and the suction casting chamber is higher by about 0.8MPa, and the mold filling power is greatly improved. The invention can solve the problems of easy pollution, low success rate and high cost of the alloy with high melting point, high activity and high purity in the suction casting process.
The invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
(1) the success rate of suction casting is improved. The suction casting valve is additionally arranged on the basis of the bottom leakage type vacuum suction casting equipment, so that the phenomenon of leakage casting of alloy liquid passing through the suction casting through hole in advance due to increased pressure difference or partial overheating is avoided. In addition, the additionally arranged suction casting valve can ensure that enough pressure difference exists between the smelting chamber and the suction casting chamber, and the mold filling power is greatly improved.
(2) The purity of the high-melting-point and high-activity alloy is improved. The suction casting crucible made of metal material with high melting point, low activity and good heat conductivity is used to replace the graphite or boron nitride nozzle of the prior bottom leakage type vacuum suction casting equipment, so that the alloy liquid can not be polluted at higher temperature. In addition, the whole preparation process is carried out under the protection of inert gas, so that the oxygen content of the high-activity casting can be ensured to be in a reasonable range.
(3) And casting defects are reduced. Alloy liquid enters the die through the horn-shaped riser along the side wall of the die during pouring, and molten metal turbulence and entrainment generated in the mold filling process can be effectively controlled. In addition, a plurality of transverse and vertical exhaust channels arranged in the die also contribute to the exhaust of gas, and the process greatly reduces the generation of casting defects such as shrinkage cavity, shrinkage porosity and the like.
(4) The preparation cost is reduced. The large mold filling power provided by the invention can ensure that the alloy liquid is successfully filled in the metal mold without preheating. Compared with investment casting, the process greatly reduces the preparation period and the processing cost.
