The invention discloses a low-cost vacuum melting
magnesium-
lithium alloy and a high-purity melting and
casting method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
alloy melting and
casting. The method comprises the steps of material preparation quality inspection,
vacuum furnace preheating and air exhaust,
argon introduction, stirring and
slag fishing after medium-frequency segmented melting of a melt, standing, pouring of the melt into a mold with a pouring gate and a
slag removal
ladle (a
ceramic filter screen is arranged in the mold, and a circulating
water cooling disc is arranged below the mold), cooling demolding,
machining,
oxide skin removal and the like. By optimizing technological parameters and structural design, the problems that in the prior art,
magnesium-
lithium alloy is uneven in component, many in inclusions, low in availability rate of cast ingots and the like are solved, and the obtained alloy cast ingots are uniform in structure, high in purity and stable in performance; the method effectively solves the problems of non-uniform components, more inclusions, low
utilization rate, serious burning loss of a riser shrinkage cavity and the like in the process of vacuum melting of the
magnesium-
lithium alloy, is simple in process, convenient to operate and controllable in cost, and meets the requirements of the fields of
aerospace, 3C
electronics, weapon industry and the like on ultra-light high-strength materials.
