Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, in the international arena, the preparation method of NbTi superconducting alloy uses niobium powder and titanium fine particles as raw materials to prepare consumable electrodes, also uses niobium plates and titanium plates to assemble electrodes, and uses niobium rods and titanium Electrodes are prepared by rod group welding. The electrodes made by these different methods are melted and cast in a vacuum consumable arc furnace for more than two times to obtain NbTi superconducting alloy ingots, which often have macroscopic inclusions such as impenetrable niobium and titanium spots. The inhomogeneity of the NbTi superconductor alloy ingot and the many interstitial element impurities affect the cold working plasticity of the superconducting material, and also have a serious impact on its superconducting current-carrying capacity
In addition, in the electrode preparation process of melting and casting NbTi superconducting alloy ingots at home and abroad, due to the complicated manufacturing process of raw materials such as niobium and titanium, the cycle is long, and the external pollution is large, the interstitial elements of the superconducting alloy increase and the plasticity deteriorates.
This is extremely unfavorable for the manufacture of thin-core, high current-carrying capacity NbTi alloy superconducting materials

Abstract

The invention discloses a casting manufacturing method of a superconducting NbTi alloy. The casting manufacturing method comprises the following steps of carrying out purification and ingot casting of high-melting point metal Nb to obtain an Nb rod, pressing low-melting point sponge active metal Ti into a semi-cylindrical tile, carrying out assembly welding of the Nb rod and the semi-cylindrical tile in an inert gas protective atmosphere to obtain a consutrode, and carrying out electric arc melting more than twice. The superconducting NbTi alloy obtained by the casting manufacturing method has no impurities, high uniformity, less interstitial elements and good plasticity, and is conducive to manufacture of thin core rods suitable for large-scale application and alloy materials having a high current-carrying capability and a low cost.
