specific Embodiment approach 1

[0012] Specific Embodiment 1: The method for smelting Ti6Al4V alloy in liquid state in this embodiment is realized by the following steps: Put the Ti6Al4V alloy or Ti6Al4V alloy raw material into the water-cooled copper crucible in the melting chamber, and then evacuate the melting chamber to a vacuum degree 5.0×10 -3 Pa~7.0×10 -3 Pa; then pass in argon gas with a purity of 99.999% to empty the air in the gas circuit system outside the smelting chamber; then fill a certain amount of argon gas into the smelting chamber through the gas circuit system, and then pass in a certain amount of hydrogen gas, specifically The ratio of hydrogen to argon can be controlled during operation, and the liquid state hydrogenated Ti6Al4V alloy is obtained by smelting with hydrogen for 2 minutes to 4 minutes; the mass of hydrogen added to the titanium alloy during hydrogen smelting is calculated by the following formula:

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of melting the Ti6Al4V alloy through the hydrogenation at liquid state, relating to the hydrogenation method during melting casting the Ti6Al4V alloy ingot, solving the problem that the hydrogenation technique at solid state of the titanium alloy is only suitable for the thin-walled members, but can not carry out the hydrogenation for big volume ingot. The melting method is characterized in that: the Ti6Al4V alloy or the alloy material is put into a working chamber; then the working chamber is carried out vacuum pumping; the argon is pumped in the working chamber, so as to enable the air in the air pressure system outside the working chamber to be emptied; the argon and the hydrogen mixed according to certain proportion are pumped in the working chamber through the gas path system; and the hydrogenation melting is carried out when the melting current is 80 to 150 A, so as to obtain the Ti6Al4V alloy after the hydrogenation at liquid state. The method of melting the Ti6Al4V alloy through the hydrogenation at liquid state has the advantages that: the microstructure of the Ti6Al4V alloy after the hydrogenation at liquid state is thinned; the hot workability is improved; the problem that the hydrogenation at solid state is difficult to apply to lager ingot hydrogenation is radically solved; and the content of the hydrogen added in the alloy can be more accurately controlled, so as to apply to mass and continuous production with practical significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for putting hydrogen in the process of melting and casting Ti6Al4V alloy ingots. Background technique [0002] Titanium-based alloys have the characteristics of low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance and high thermal strength. They are ideal structural materials for aerospace vehicles and are widely used. However, it has some disadvantages in the processing process: titanium alloy has low plasticity at room temperature, low deformation limit, large deformation resistance, and easy to crack when cold forming; high thermal deformation temperature of titanium alloy, large flow stress, low atomic diffusion ability at high temperature, and strain rate inferior. In order to solve such problems, in recent years, solid-state hydrogen storage technology for titanium alloys has emerged to improve the processing performance of alloys. Studies have shown that adding an appropriate amount of hydrogen to tit...
