The application discloses a TC4 return material EB+VAR duplex
smelting ingot chemical component precision control method and
system, belongs to the
titanium alloy precision
metallurgy technical field, and constructs a set of intelligent
closed loop process
system. Core steps include: firstly, based on the EB furnace
heat balance online calculation of the
molten pool temperature, and taking this as the core input, the model is established according to
Langmuir law to predict the
Al element volatilization rate in real time;Secondly, according to the prediction result, the Al compensation amount is dynamically calculated, and the charging density is optimized by pressing the return material and the compensation aluminum material in the form of compact or layer, the feeding process is stabilized, the
smelting speed fluctuation is controlled within ± 5%, and the EB
ingot with preliminary uniform composition is prepared;Finally, the EB
ingot is subjected to VAR remelting, and the ultimate homogenization is realized by the
electromagnetic stirring and
directional solidification effect thereof. The
Al element content deviation of the ingot obtained by the method is stably controlled within ± 0.4%, and the composition uniformity, batch stability and return material
utilization rate are significantly improved.
