Description

Device and method for reducing shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity of nickel-based superalloy induction ingot
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of smelting and pouring, in particular to a device and a method for reducing shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity of a nickel-based superalloy induction ingot.
Background
The nickel-based high-temperature alloy contains a large amount of national scarce expensive elements such as Ni, cr, co, mo, nb and the like, has high alloying degree, good high-temperature strength, oxidation resistance and excellent fatigue resistance, can be used for manufacturing hot end parts such as aviation jet engines, industrial gas turbines and the like, and is a key core material in the fields of aerospace, electric energy, national defense science and technology and the like. Because the nickel-based high-temperature alloy has high alloying degree and complex components, vacuum induction melting is generally adopted as primary smelting, and secondary or tertiary smelting is carried out through consumable remelting and electroslag remelting. However, in the head-end vacuum induction melting process, the induction ingot obtained by casting the high-temperature alloy liquid often has the defects of shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity, the stability of the secondary smelting process, the ingot casting yield and the quality of the final product are seriously influenced, and the manufacturing and development of high-quality nickel-based high-temperature alloy are restricted.
The casting forming theoretical basis can be known, the solidification direction of the casting is controlled in the casting solidification process to be in line with the sequential solidification principle, and good feeding conditions can be established in the casting solidification process, so that the shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity defects of the casting can be effectively reduced. The principle of sequential solidification is that in the longitudinal direction of the casting, the temperature of the lower part of the casting is low, the temperature of the upper part (sprue) is high, the casting has an increasing temperature gradient from the bottom to the top, and all parts can be sequentially solidified from the bottom to the top. Therefore, the method for enhancing the heat preservation of the alloy at the upper part of the cast ingot and the cooling of the alloy at the lower part of the cast ingot is a main method for controlling the cast ingot to realize sequential solidification and reducing the defects of shrinkage cavity and shrinkage porosity of the cast ingot.
The existing regulation and control method mainly uses a heat-preservation riser on the inner wall of a cavity at the upper part of an ingot mold or paints heat-preservation suspension to enhance the heat-preservation effect of alloy at the upper part of an ingot casting and delay the cooling of alloy liquid at the upper part. However, these methods are difficult to avoid the adverse effects of contamination and slag inclusion at the riser, so that the riser or the operation of cutting off the riser of the ingot after coating the heat-insulating suspension is required, which does not significantly increase the yield of the ingot.
In addition, the existing regulation and control method mainly focuses on enhancing the heat preservation feeding of the alloy at the upper part of the cast ingot, does not consider enhancing the cooling of the alloy below the cast ingot, and controls the cooling effect of the alloy at different parts below the cast ingot, so that the existing method is difficult to realize the sequential solidification of the cast ingot from the lower part to the upper part (pouring gate) in the longitudinal direction, and further fails to effectively solve the problems of yield and quality of the nickel-based superalloy induction ingot.
