Abstract

The invention relates to a fusion casting method of a large-size high-performance titanium and titanium alloy ingot, which comprises the following steps: (1) electrode compression: compressing pure titanium or titanium alloy materials into electrode blocks; (2) assembly and welding of an electrode: carrying out argon arc welding on the compressed electrode blocks to obtain a large consumable electrode; (3) primary vacuum consumable fusion: carrying out primary fusion on the assembled and welded electrode in a vacuum consumable-electrode arc furnace to obtain a primary cast ingot; and (4) secondary vacuum consumable fusion: carrying out secondary fusion on the primary cast ingot used as the electrode to obtain a finished cast ingot product. Compared with the prior art, the invention can effectively overcome the segregation of alloy components in the titanium alloy and improve the metallographical microscopic structure, thereby preventing the fusion ingot from being subject to coarse grain boundary, embrittlement of carbide networks and the like, reducing the generation of cracks, enhancing the strength and the mechanical property of the titanium alloy and improving the fusion efficiency.
