Description

Preparation method of titanium alloy cast ingot with highly homogenized alloy components
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nonferrous metal processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a titanium alloy cast ingot with highly homogenized alloy components.
Background
Titanium alloy has high specific strength, good heat resistance and good corrosion resistance, becomes one of the most important metals in industry, and is widely used in the industrial fields of aerospace, petrochemical industry, sea water desalination, medical appliances and the like. Common alloying elements of the titanium alloy are aluminum, tin, vanadium, zirconium, manganese and the like, and the strength of the titanium alloy can be obviously improved by using the alloying elements in a matching way, and meanwhile, good plasticity and cold and hot workability are maintained. However, titanium alloys are very sensitive to composition, even small fluctuations in composition can have a significant adverse effect on the properties of the titanium alloy, e.g., the nominal composition of TA18 titanium alloy is Ti-3Al-2.5V, and if the Al content of the localized region in the alloy exceeds 7%, ti will precipitate 3 The Al brittle phase leads to the reduction of the comprehensive performance of the alloy, particularly greatly reduces the plasticity of the TA18 titanium alloy, the V element is a titanium alloy beta phase stabilizing element, the beta phase content of a V-rich local area is obviously increased, and the plasticity of the TA18 titanium alloy is also reduced. TA18 titanium alloys are mainly used for manufacturing seamless pipes for aircraft piping systems, and cold rolling processes require very good shaping. For manufacturing the TA18 titanium alloy seamless tube with low and medium strength levels, a certain degree of local enrichment of Al and V elements is allowed to occur, but the TA18 titanium alloy seamless tube with high strength levels puts high requirements on the uniformity of alloy elements, and slight uneven distribution of the Al and V elements can lead to cracking in the cold rolling process of the TA18 titanium alloy seamless tube with high strength levels and unqualified flaring plasticity indexes of finished tubes. Other titanium alloys such as TA16, TA21, TC4 are subject to the same conditions, i.e. allow for small fluctuations in the alloy composition under typical processing and use requirements, but must be highly homogenized under severe processing conditions and use requirements. The high homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy product is realized mainly by the following two continuous links, namely, the high homogenization of the alloy components of the blank of the titanium alloy product, namely, the titanium alloy ingot, is ensured, and the plastic processing is further carried out on the titanium alloy ingot. Obviously, ensuring the high homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot is a precondition and key to achieving the high homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy product.
However, it is difficult to achieve high homogenization of the alloy composition of the titanium alloy ingot. At present, most high-quality titanium alloy ingots are prepared by adopting vacuum consumable arc melting, namely sponge titanium particles, bean-shaped alloy element pure metals and bean-shaped alloy element intermediate alloys are used as raw materials, are mixed and pressed into consumable electrodes, and then the titanium alloy ingots are prepared by adopting a vacuum consumable arc melting method. The sponge titanium particles with different sizes, the bean-shaped alloy element pure metal and the bean-shaped alloy element intermediate alloy are difficult to be fully and uniformly mixed like metal powder, and the vacuum consumable arc melting belongs to a melting method in which melting and solidification are carried out simultaneously, so that even though homogenization is promoted by vacuum consumable arc melting for at least 3 times, an enrichment region and a depletion region of alloy components in a titanium alloy cast ingot still appear. The realization of high homogenization of the alloy composition by the subsequent plastic deformation of the titanium alloy ingot requires repeated forging and extrusion processes, which is very time-consuming and costly.
In order to improve the homogenization degree of the alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot, chinese patent CN113278812A discloses a vacuum self-consumption smelting method of a high Mo content Ti-Mo alloy homogeneous ingot for improving the uniformity of the alloy components of the Ti-Mo titanium alloy ingot, which adopts 5 times of vacuum self-consumption arc smelting and forges a Ti-Mo electrode after two times of vacuum self-consumption arc smelting; in the Chinese patent CN113832363A titanium alloy ingot and the preparation method thereof, the homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot is promoted by a stable smelting stage and a feeding stage which are sequentially carried out in the vacuum consumable arc smelting process; the invention of Chinese patent CN 114091248A discloses a simulation method for predicting the solidification process of a vacuum consumable smelting ingot, which has a good guiding effect on optimizing the vacuum consumable arc smelting process to obtain an ingot with uniform components.
For the preparation method of the current consumable electrode, as the raw materials are large particles, and the binding force of the titanium sponge particles accounting for most of the titanium sponge particles after pressing is poor, two problems are caused, namely, the binding force between the titanium sponge particles at the central part of the consumable electrode is insufficient, the problem of block falling in the smelting process exists, and for the large cast ingot, in order to avoid the problem of insufficient binding strength between the titanium sponge particles, the corresponding large electrode blocks cannot be prepared for assembling and welding the whole electrode, but only the smaller electrode blocks can be prepared for assembling and welding the whole electrode, so that the number of welding points is increased, and the accident rate that the smelting process is forced to stop due to the failure of the welding points in the smelting process is increased. Therefore, a novel preparation method of the titanium alloy ingot is needed, not only can the high homogenization of alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot be ensured, but also the times of vacuum consumable arc melting can be reduced, and the safety of the vacuum consumable arc melting process can be effectively improved.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, the method for preparing the titanium alloy ingot with the highly homogenized alloy composition comprises the following steps:
step 1: the method comprises the steps of preparing spray powder by taking alloy components with melting points higher than 1000 ℃ in titanium alloy as raw materials, and preparing spray liquid by taking alloy components with melting points lower than 1000 ℃ in titanium alloy as raw materials.
The alloy components with the melting point higher than 1000 ℃ in the titanium alloy comprise vanadium, molybdenum, zirconium, niobium and the like. According to specific alloy components corresponding to different brands of titanium alloys, preparing spray powder firstly, if a certain brands of titanium alloys only contain one alloy component with the melting point higher than 1000 ℃, preparing the alloy component powder as spray powder by taking the alloy component powder as a raw material, and if 2 or more alloy components with the melting point higher than 1000 ℃ are contained, preparing the spray powder by taking 2 or more alloy components with the melting point higher than 1000 ℃ as the raw material after fully mixing. The purity of each component of the spray powder raw material is higher than 99.95 percent, and the particle size is smaller than 10 mu m.
The alloy components with the melting point lower than 1000 ℃ in the titanium alloy comprise aluminum, tin and the like, the spray liquid is prepared according to specific alloy components corresponding to different brands of titanium alloys, if a certain brands of titanium alloy only contains one alloy component with the melting point lower than 1000 ℃, the alloy component is used as a raw material to prepare the spray liquid, and if 2 or more alloy components with the melting point lower than 1000 ℃ are contained, 2 or more alloy components with the melting point lower than 1000 ℃ are used as raw materials to prepare the spray liquid. The purity of the alloy component raw materials used for preparing the spray liquid should be higher than 99.95%. The spray liquid is prepared by a vacuum induction heating smelting method.
Step 2: spraying liquid adhered with spraying powder on the surface of the titanium sponge particles to prepare titanium sponge particles with alloy component layers deposited on the surface;
as shown in fig. 2, the injection apparatus includes an injection chamber 1, a vibrating table 2, a nozzle 3, a smelting furnace 4, an atomizer 5, a powder feeder 6, and a powder feeding nozzle 7. The nozzle 3 is located at the upper part of the ejection chamber 1, and the vibrating table 2 is located at the lower part of the ejection chamber 1. Firstly, placing titanium sponge particles 8 with the particle size of 5-12.5mm on a vibration table 2 positioned at the lower part of an injection chamber 1, and longitudinally and mechanically vibrating the vibration table 2, so that the titanium sponge particles 8 do upward polishing movement under the mechanical vibration action of the vibration table 2, and the upward polishing height is not less than 5cm.
Then spraying liquid adhered with spraying powder to the sponge titanium particles by utilizing a co-spraying technology to prepare the sponge titanium particles with the alloy component layers deposited on the surfaces. The principle and the process are as follows: the spray liquid 9 is sprayed downward from the nozzle 3 at a high speed by the atomizer 5 to form a spray liquid atomizing cone 10, i.e., a cone-shaped mist composed of numerous spray liquid droplets. The spray powder 11 is sprayed into the spray liquid atomizing cone 10 through the powder feeding nozzle 7 so as to adhere to the spray liquid droplets. The small liquid drops of the spray liquid adhered with the spray powder are sprayed at a high speed on the titanium sponge particles 8 positioned on the vibration table 2, and spread on the surfaces of the titanium sponge particles 8 and are cooled and solidified to form an alloy composition layer after striking the surfaces of the titanium sponge particles 8, so that the co-spraying process of the solid-phase spray powder and the liquid-phase spray liquid is realized. In the co-spraying process, the titanium sponge particles 8 keep the upward throwing motion, and the vibration table 2 also transversely moves, so that the accessibility and uniformity of spraying are ensured.
The ratio of the flow rate of the spray liquid to the flow rate of the spray powder depends on the alloy composition of the corresponding grade of titanium alloy. The spray chamber 1 is protected by argon.
The method for preparing the alloy component layer on the surface of the titanium sponge particles 8 by adopting the co-spraying method has the following advantages: (1) The melting point of the jet liquid is low, so that the requirements on smelting equipment and nozzles are reduced; (2) The requirements on spraying technological parameters are reduced, and the titanium sponge particles are easy to spray and deposit on the surfaces of the titanium sponge particles to form firmly-combined alloy component layers; (3) The spray liquid formed by multiple alloy components is prevented from reacting with the crucible at high temperature, and the spray liquid is prevented from being polluted.
After the alloy component layer is deposited on the surface of the titanium sponge particles 8, the homogenization of the alloy component of the titanium alloy cast ingot is facilitated, and the pressing into the electrode block with high density and high strength is facilitated. Because the alloy component layer matrix deposited on the surface of the titanium sponge particles 8 is a soft layer such as aluminum or aluminum-tin, the soft layer is favorable for the coordinated movement densification of the titanium sponge particles 8 in the pressing process, and the titanium sponge particles are easy to mutually adhere and mesh, so that the bonding strength among the particles is greatly increased, the strength of the electrode block is greatly improved, the electrode block can be made larger, the number of subsequent assembly welding spots is reduced, and the safety of a consumable electrode is improved; and the strength of the electrode block is improved, so that the danger of block falling in the vacuum consumable arc melting process is avoided.
Step 3: fully mixing the titanium sponge particles with the alloy component layers deposited on the surfaces and the titanium sponge particles without the alloy component layers deposited on the surfaces, and preparing the self-consuming electrode after mixing;
the vacuum consumable arc melting can further promote homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot, so that all titanium sponge particles are not required to be deposited with alloy component layers, namely, the alloy components of the titanium alloy are not required to be uniformly distributed on the surfaces of all titanium sponge particles, and the requirement of high homogenization of the alloy components of the titanium alloy ingot can be met only by uniformly distributing the alloy components of the titanium alloy on the surfaces of most titanium sponge particles, so that the production cost can be reduced. The production cost is balanced with the homogenization effect of the alloy components of the titanium alloy cast ingot, and the titanium sponge particles with the alloy component layers deposited on the surfaces are required to account for 70% or more of the proportion of the raw materials of the consumable electrode.
In this step, the titanium sponge particles having the alloy component layer deposited on the surface and the titanium sponge particles having no alloy component layer deposited on the surface are thoroughly mixed as the raw material for the consumable electrode. The consumable electrode raw material is pressed into a plurality of smaller consumable electrode blocks by a special die under high pressure, and then the consumable electrode blocks are assembled and welded into the final consumable electrode.
Step 4: and carrying out vacuum consumable arc melting on the consumable electrode to prepare the titanium alloy cast ingot.
