Forging method for superconducting tantalum bar

Abstract

The invention relates to a forging method for a superconducting tantalum bar. The forging method is characterized in that the forging method comprises the following steps: firstly, taking a special superconducting tantalum bar as a raw material, preheating the raw material at the temperature of 150-180 DEG C, preserving the heat for 20-40 minutes, taking out the heated tantalum ingot and uniformly coating the heated tantalum ingot with an oxidation resistant coating, wherein the coating thickness is 2-3 mm and naturally drying in air; heating the dried material at the temperature of 450-500 DEG C, preserving the heat for 210-240 minutes and then taking out the material; secondly, primarily radially upsetting and primarily radially drawing out; thirdly, secondarily radially upsetting and secondarily radially drawing out; and fourthly, triply radially upsetting, stopping forging, carrying out air cooling for 5-10 minutes and then cooling and triply radially drawing out. According to the forging method disclosed by the invention, the forging machining for superconducting products by using a tantalum cast ingot is carried out and a proper hot forging heating process is matched, so that tissues of which the grain size levels and cross section tissue uniformity respectively meet preparation requirements of early-stage tissues are obtained.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing technology mainly adopts hot forging processing, the processing rate of each pass is low, and the total processing rate is also low. During the processing of the wire, the tantalum-lined support will be irregularly deformed, and the position of the superconducting wire will be squeezed out, which will affect the superconducting performance and cause quality problems such as wire breakage, which is unacceptable in the production of high-cost superconducting wires.
