The present application relates to a kind of
vanadium-aluminum
alloy and its preparation method.The method comprises: after
drying,
vanadium oxide, slagging agent and aluminum-
calcium alloy particles are mixed uniformly, the
vanadium oxide is the mixture of vanadium
pentoxide and di
vanadium trioxide;Preheating;Take 10wt%-20wt% of mixed material to initiate in-situ composite thermal reduction reaction, form 1600℃-1950℃ high-temperature
molten pool;The remaining material is pressed into the material ball with a
diameter of 1.0-3.0 cm under 5-20 MPa pressure, and the obtained material ball is continuously added to the
molten pool to maintain the temperature for reaction, while the reduction
slag and
alloy melt are separated;Cooling and deslagging to obtain vanadium-aluminum alloy
ingot.The present application uses aluminum-
calcium alloy particles as
reducing agent, and utilizes its in-situ slagging function, combined with different valence
vanadium oxide to control reaction heat, and
continuous feeding process, realizes accurate control of composition, significant reduction of inclusions, efficient
slag-gold separation, and the prepared vanadium-aluminum alloy has very
low oxygen and
nitrogen impurities, and the process flow is short, the cost is low, and it is suitable for
aerospace-grade
titanium alloy production.
