In one embodiment, a niobium-aluminum alloy comprises the following components: nb:60.0 to 65.0 weight percent, less than or equal to 0.10 weight percent of Fe, less than or equal to 0.15 weight percent of Si, less than or equal to 0.10 weight percent of C, less than or equal to 0.05 weight percent of O, less than or equal to 0.05 weight percent of N, and the balance of Al and other inevitable impurities.

In the implementation particles of the invention, the slag former selects calcium oxide with the purity of more than or equal to 93.0 percent, the heating agent selects saltpeter with the potassium nitrate content of more than or equal to 99.0 percent, and the skilled person can understand that the aluminum powder reduces Nb 2 O 5 Formation of Al 2 O 3 Due to Al 2 O 3 Has a high melting point (2050 ℃), is not beneficial to alloy sedimentation, and is added with a proper amount of slag former and Al 2 O 3 The eutectic slag is formed, which is beneficial to alloy sedimentation, improves the product yield and is also beneficial to the separation of slag and alloy. On the basis, the slag former can be selected from any slag former capable of being mixed with Al 2 O 3 Substances forming eutectic slag. The heat generating agent mainly has the function of generating exothermic reaction with reaction raw materials or reaction products to supplement heat for a reaction system and support the normal operation of thermite reduction reaction, and on the basis, the skilled person can reasonably select substances such as saltpeter, sodium nitrate, potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate and the like.
In the present invention, the chemical reaction process and the energy transfer process thereof occur as follows:
Figure BDA0003872437880000041
Figure BDA0003872437880000042
Figure BDA0003872437880000043
Figure BDA0003872437880000044
it should be noted that in the present invention, the potassium oxide, which is the reaction product of the niter and the aluminum, can further serve as a slag forming agent, and also facilitates the separation of slag and alloy.
In order to control the impurity content, especially the content of Fe, si, and C, in the niobium-aluminum alloy product, the impurity content in the raw materials needs to be strictly controlled, and in a preferred embodiment, the quality of each raw material is as follows:
Nb 2 O 5 :Nb 2 O 5 ≥99.0%、F≤1.50%、Si≤0.10%、C≤0.05%、S≤0.03%、P≤0.05%、W≤0.10%、Mn≤0.10%;
al: more than or equal to 99.8 percent of Al, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of Fe, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of Si, and the particle size is as follows: 10-80 meshes;
CaO:CaO≥93.0%、Fe 2 O 3 ≤0.15%、SiO 2 not more than 0.40 percent, activity degree not less than 330ml and granularity not more than 1mm;
saltpeter: potassium nitrate (KNO) 3 ) The content is more than or equal to 99.0 percent, the water content is less than or equal to 0.30 percent, the content of chloride (calculated by Cl) is less than or equal to 0.10 percent, and the content of water-insoluble substances is less than or equal to 0.05 percent.
In some preferred embodiments, the raw material mixture formed after the niobium source, the aluminum source, the slagging agent and the heat generating agent are mixed comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 40-50% of niobium source, 35-45% of aluminum source, 5-10% of slagging agent and 6-12% of exothermic agent.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the above raw material mixture ratio can be used to produce niobium-aluminum alloy with nominal niobium content of 60%, such as niobium-aluminum alloy with different nominal niobium content, which can be realized by adjusting the mixture ratio of niobium source, aluminum source, slag former and heat generating agent.
Further, in order to ensure the normal operation of the thermite reduction reaction, the unit reaction heat of the raw material mixture is 3000kJ/kg-3300kJ/kg. If the unit reaction heat of the furnace charge is too low, the viscosity of the slag is too high, the fluidity is not good, the alloy sedimentation effect is influenced, and part of alloy particles are mixed in the slag, so that the product yield is influenced. If the unit reaction heat of the furnace charge is too low, the impurity content in the product is influenced, and particularly the gas impurity content can exceed the standard. If the unit reaction heat of the charging materials is too high, the reaction process is too violent, the splashing loss is aggravated, and the yield of the product is influenced. The unit reaction heat of the furnace charge is too high, the segregation of alloy components is increased, and the uniformity and consistency of products are influenced. Meanwhile, in the invention, if the unit reaction heat is high, more heating agents are added, and the N content and the O content in the product are easily exceeded by the more heating agents.
S02, preheating the raw material mixture to a first temperature to obtain the preheated raw material mixture.
Preferably, the first temperature is 100 ℃ to 120 ℃, for example, the raw material mixture is preheated to 120 ℃, so as to obtain a preheated raw material mixture.
The preheating of the raw material mixture is a key step for preparing the niobium-aluminum alloy with low impurity content, particularly the niobium-aluminum alloy with low N content and low O content. Experiments show that under the same conditions, if the raw material mixture is not preheated, the N content and the O content in the prepared product are both easy to exceed 0.05wt%.
S03, preparing a furnace body.
Specifically, the furnace body is placed into a slag tank filled with high-purity alumina, the bottom and the outer edge of the furnace body are filled and tamped with the high-purity alumina, and the high-purity alumina is obtained by crushing alumina slag generated by self reaction of niobium-aluminum alloy. Preferably, in order to further reduce heat loss and ensure normal operation of aluminothermic reduction reaction, the furnace body is preheated to a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is 150-200 ℃.
The high-purity alumina slag generated by the reaction of the niobium-aluminum alloy is used as a furnace body for niobium-aluminum alloy production reaction, so that the introduction of Fe and Si can be further prevented, and the impurity content of niobium-aluminum alloy products can be reduced. Preferably, the furnace body is a furnace body with a graphite lining, so that the introduction of C is further reduced, and the impurity content is reduced.
And S04, putting the preheated raw material mixture into a furnace body, quickly igniting, and carrying out aluminothermic reduction reaction.
And S05, after the aluminothermic reduction reaction is finished, standing and cooling to obtain the niobium-aluminum alloy product.
The preparation method of the niobium-aluminum alloy provided by the invention effectively solves the problem of low unit reaction heat in the preparation process of the niobium-aluminum alloy, adopts an external furnace method for smelting directly without adding smelting equipment independently, has the advantages of simple process, convenient operation and low cost, and the prepared niobium-aluminum alloy product has low impurity content and is suitable for producing titanium alloy and high-temperature alloy.
The technical scheme and technical effects of the present invention are further described below by specific experimental examples.
In the experimental examples of the present invention, the selected raw materials have the following qualities:
Nb 2 O 5 :Nb 2 O 5 ≥99.0%、F≤1.50%、Si≤0.10%、C≤0.05%、S≤0.03%、P≤0.05%、W≤0.10%、Mn≤0.10%;
al: more than or equal to 99.8 percent of Al, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of Fe, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of Si, and the particle size is as follows: 10-80 meshes;
CaO:CaO≥93.0%、Fe 2 O 3 ≤0.15%、SiO 2 not more than 0.40 percent, activity degree not less than 330ml and granularity not more than 1mm;

From Table 1, when no exothermic compound (saltpeter) was added to the reaction mixture, the thermite reduction reaction did not proceed normally, and the alloy liquid and slag were not separated smoothly.
Therefore, when the niobium-aluminum alloy is produced by the out-of-furnace method, a heating agent (saltpeter) is added. However, if only the heating agent (saltpeter) is added to make the unit reaction heat of the reaction system reach the requirement of easily separating the alloy liquid from the slag, the O content and the N content in the prepared niobium-aluminum alloy are easily out of limits, so that the content of non-metal impurities in the niobium-aluminum alloy is high, and the production requirement of titanium alloy and high-temperature alloy cannot be met.
The raw materials are preheated, so that the using amount of a heat generating agent (saltpeter) is reduced, and the content of O and the content of N in the prepared niobium-aluminum alloy are controlled to be in a relatively low range. In the experimental examples of the present invention, the niobium-aluminum alloy contained O in an amount of 0.05wt% or less, N in an amount of 0.05wt% or less, and even N in an amount of 0.03wt% or less.
