Problems solved by technology

This method has a good purification effect, but controlling the crystal growth morphology to improve the purification efficiency can easily lead to coarse grains, and the purification efficiency is also affected by the interface viscous layer, which limits the further improvement of the purification efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for ultrasonically purifying high-purity aluminum in the technical field of casting and metallurgy. The method in particular comprises the following steps: melting aluminum in a crucible after a noble protective gas is led into a heating furnace chamber; after the temperature of aluminum liquid is raised to 660-750 DEG C, inoculating crystal is extended below the liquid surface of aluminum fused mass, an ultrasound generating device is started, the other end of the inoculating crystal undergoes forcible cooling of the water-cooling type, and 100-300 K / cm of temperature gradient is ensured to be generated at the front edge of an interface; the temperature of the fused mass is controlled to be around a melting point, after the start of crystallization, the inoculating crystal is slowly lifted upwards or the crucible containing the aluminum fused mass is slowly and downwardly drawn, crystallization speed is controlled to be at 5-25 cm / h, and the lifting, and drawing speed keeps consistent with the crystallization speed; and ultrasonic power is controlled to be between 0.2 kW and 10 kW, a finally formed aluminum ingot is cylindrical, solidoid purity is over 5 N, impurity elements are uniformly distributed in pure crystal, crystal grains are uniform and small, and average crystal grain size is less than 100 microns.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method in the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a method for ultrasonically purifying high-purity aluminum.
