At present, the use of foam ceramic filtration to promote the floating of inclusions in the molten pool or the adsorption of inclusions floating to the surface is the main method of inclusion removal in the smelting process. way. According to the Stokes law of the movement of inclusions, the smaller the size of the inclusions, the slower the floating speed, and the more difficult it is to remove the inclusions by floating, and the foam ceramic filtration only has a good effect on large-sized inclusions. Published literature reports found that the existing methods can successfully remove inclusions larger than 10 μm in superalloys, but the removal effect of inclusions with small particle size (<10 μm) is very limited.
本发明创新性地提出采用电子束特殊冶金实现高温合金中小尺寸夹杂物的原位溶解去除。电子束精炼技术是利用高能量密度的电子束轰击材料的表面使材料熔化并精炼材料的工艺过程,该技术被广泛应用于难熔金属及合金的精炼、制备高纯特殊钢以及超洁净钢、精炼提纯钛及钛合金等领域中。电子束具有极高的能量密度,且具有束流可控、束斑可调、自动化程度高的特点,高能量密度的电子束作用于熔体后会产生局部超高温(>3000K),结合高真空(5×10 -3Pa)以及熔体内部大温度梯度的特点,能够创造夹杂物原位去除的条件,为夹杂物的深度去除提供了新途径。 The invention innovatively proposes to use electron beam special metallurgy to realize the in-situ dissolution and removal of small-sized inclusions in the superalloy. Electron beam refining technology is a process of using high-energy density electron beams to bombard the surface of materials to melt and refine materials. This technology is widely used in the refining of refractory metals and alloys, the preparation of high-purity special steel and ultra-clean Refining and purifying titanium and titanium alloys and other fields. The electron beam has a very high energy density, and has the characteristics of controllable beam current, adjustable beam spot, and high degree of automation.

本发明提供了一种电子束过热溶解去除高温合金中夹杂物的方法,包括如下步骤:The invention provides a method for removing inclusions in a superalloy by overheating electron beam dissolving, comprising the following steps:
一、高温合金原材料的预处理1. Pretreatment of superalloy raw materials
1、本发明可使用棒状、块状或不规则等形状的高温合金作为原材料,当原材料为棒状时,可采用水平送料机构送料,使棒状原材料位于水冷铜坩埚的上方并处于电子束扫描范围,棒材直径约为20-50mm,长度约为1m。当原材料为块状或其它不规则形状时将其置于水冷铜坩埚中。1. The present invention can use rod-shaped, block-shaped or irregular superalloys as raw materials. When the raw material is rod-shaped, a horizontal feeding mechanism can be used to feed the material, so that the rod-shaped raw material is located above the water-cooled copper crucible and is in the electron beam scanning range, The bar diameter is about 20-50mm and the length is about 1m. When the raw material is in bulk or other irregular shape, it is placed in a water-cooled copper crucible.
2、本实施例中选取对杂质及夹杂含量要求严格的FGH4096块状高温合金作为原材料,首先对FGH4096高温合金进行线切割加工至合适尺寸,以能够放入水冷铜坩埚为准。对线切割后的块体原材料进行打磨,去除表面氧化层以及线切割痕迹。2. In this example, the FGH4096 bulk superalloy with strict requirements on impurities and inclusion content is selected as the raw material. First, the FGH4096 superalloy is wire-cut to an appropriate size, which can be placed in a water-cooled copper crucible. Grind the bulk raw material after wire cutting to remove the surface oxide layer and wire cutting marks.
3、分别使用去离子水及酒精对打磨后的FGH4096高温合金原材料进行清洗,清洗完毕后将FGH4096高温合金置于烘干箱中,在30℃下烘干,待电子束精炼使用。3. Use deionized water and alcohol to clean the polished FGH4096 superalloy raw materials respectively. After cleaning, place the FGH4096 superalloy in a drying box and dry it at 30°C until it is used for electron beam refining.
二、电子束精炼及电子束过热溶解去除夹杂物2. Electron beam refining and electron beam superheated dissolution to remove inclusions
1、对电子束精炼用水冷铜坩埚进行清理(打磨、酒精擦拭、烘干),以保证水冷铜坩埚清洁无污染。1. Clean the water-cooled copper crucible for electron beam refining (grinding, alcohol wiping, drying) to ensure that the water-cooled copper crucible is clean and pollution-free.
2、清理电子束熔炼炉炉体及炉壁污染物,避免精炼过程中外来杂质的引入。2. Clean up the pollutants on the furnace body and furnace wall of the electron beam melting furnace to avoid the introduction of foreign impurities in the refining process.
3、将预处理后的块状FGH4096高温合金原材料放置在水冷铜坩埚中,确定原材料准备就绪且炉体清洁后关闭炉门。3. Place the pretreated bulk FGH4096 superalloy raw materials in a water-cooled copper crucible, and close the furnace door after confirming that the raw materials are ready and the furnace body is clean.
4、打开电子束精炼设备,将炉体与枪体抽至目标真空状态,其中炉体的真空度要求为小于5×10 -2Pa,枪体的真空度要求为小于5×10 -3Pa,达到目标真空度后启动两侧电子枪,使其束流大小为120mA,预热12分钟。 4. Turn on the electron beam refining equipment, and pump the furnace body and gun body to the target vacuum state. The vacuum degree of the furnace body is required to be less than 5×10 -2 Pa, and the vacuum degree of the gun body is required to be less than 5×10 -3 Pa , after reaching the target vacuum degree, start the electron guns on both sides to make the beam size 120mA, and preheat for 12 minutes.
5、预热完毕后将电子枪束流调至0,启动高压,待高压稳定后缓慢增加电子枪束流至500mA,束斑半径大小调至25mm,保持电子枪参数不变,以环形扫描路径熔化水冷铜坩埚中的FGH4096高温合金原材料。5. After preheating, adjust the electron gun beam current to 0, start the high voltage, slowly increase the electron gun beam current to 500mA after the high voltage is stable, adjust the beam spot radius to 25mm, keep the electron gun parameters unchanged, and melt the water-cooled copper in a circular scanning path FGH4096 superalloy raw material in crucible.
6、待FGH4096高温合金完全熔化后,继续以电子束环形扫描的方式对FGH4096高温合金进行精炼,使得FGH4096高温合金熔体中的挥发性杂质得以充分去除,使得FGH4096高温合金中的大尺寸夹杂物在浮力及马兰戈尼效应的作用下逐渐上浮至熔体表面。6. After the FGH4096 superalloy is completely melted, continue to refine the FGH4096 superalloy by means of electron beam circular scanning, so that the volatile impurities in the FGH4096 superalloy melt can be fully removed, so that large-sized inclusions in the FGH4096 superalloy Under the action of buoyancy and Marangoni effect, it gradually rises to the surface of the melt.
7、电子束精炼10min后,采用循环过热法对熔体进行过热处理,具体为:增加电子束束流大小至600~800mA,束流增加速率为100mA/min,当增至指定功率后固定束斑位置至铸锭中心处,在该条件下进行熔体过热处理10min(图1);随后以100mA/min的速率将束流大小降至500mA,以环形扫描的方式对合金精炼5min;再次增加电子束束流大小至600~800mA,束流增加速率为100mA/min,当增至指定功率后固定束斑位置至FGH4096高温合金铸锭中心处,在该条件下进行熔体过热处理10min,如此重复上述过程,对FGH4096高温合金熔体进行三次循环过热处理。7.

When the power is increased to the specified power, the beam is fixed.

When the power is increased to the specified power, the beam spot position is fixed to the center of the FGH4096 superalloy ingot, and the melt is superheated for 10min under this condition. Repeating the above process, the FGH4096 superalloy melt was subjected to three cycles of superheat treatment.
8、三次循环过热处理后,将束流大小降至500mA,控制电子束精炼参数使得电子束束斑从左至右缓慢移动,在束斑移动的过程中采用缓慢降束的方式逐渐减小束流的大小,同时收缩束斑的半径,使得在5min之内束流大 小减小至0mA,束斑半径减小至0,同时束斑移动至FGH4096高温合金铸锭右侧边缘区域,从而实现大尺寸夹杂物在FGH4096高温合金铸锭表面最后凝固区的富集(图2)。8. After three cycles of overheating, reduce the beam size to 500mA, control the electron beam refining parameters so that the electron beam spot moves slowly from left to right, and the beam is gradually reduced by slow beam drop during the movement of the beam spot. At the same time, the radius of the beam spot is reduced, so that the beam current size is reduced to 0mA within 5min, and the beam spot radius is reduced to 0. At the same time, the beam spot moves to the right edge area of the FGH4096 superalloy ingot, so as to achieve large The enrichment of dimensional inclusions in the final solidification zone on the surface of the FGH4096 superalloy ingot (Fig. 2).
9、关闭左侧与右侧电子枪高压,增加束流至60mA使高压值为0后关闭电子枪,使得铸锭在水冷铜坩埚中充分凝固并冷却。9. Turn off the high voltage of the left and right electron guns, increase the beam current to 60mA to make the high voltage value 0, then turn off the electron gun, so that the ingot is fully solidified and cooled in the water-cooled copper crucible.
10、待炉体与枪体冷却2h后取出电子束精炼的FGH4096高温合金铸锭,并去除铸锭表面夹杂物富集的最后凝固区,从而得到高纯的FGH4096高温合金铸锭。10. After the furnace body and the gun body are cooled for 2 hours, the FGH4096 superalloy ingot refined by electron beam is taken out, and the final solidification zone enriched with inclusions on the surface of the ingot is removed to obtain a high-purity FGH4096 superalloy ingot.
