Abstract

The invention discloses a directional solidification casting method of a continuous cold crucible. According to the directional solidification casting method, a water-cooled copper crucible in a directional solidification device of an electromagnetic cold crucible is arranged in a closed furnace body, wherein an electromagnetic induction coil is arranged outside the water-cooled copper crucible; the lower end of a bar extends into the water-cooled copper crucible; a crystallizer filled with a coolant material is arranged under the water-cooled copper crucible; a pull-down rod is arranged in the crystallizer; a formwork is fixed at the upper end of the pull-down rod; a circular graphite heating element, having a height of 55-65mm, an outer diameter of 55-65mm and an inner diameter of 40-50mm, is arranged outside the formwork; a thermal insulation layer is covered outside the graphite heating element; an induction coil is arranged outside the thermal insulation layer; and a graphite induction heating steady-state temperature is determined by the formula (refer to the Specification), wherein I represents an input current, r represents the radius of a coil, epsilon is 0.9, and a is an empirical parameter 2816681. According to the directional solidification casting method of a continuous cold crucible, the relation between the output current and the thermodynamic temperature of the graphite is provided, and the basis for conveniently controlling the process parameters in actual use is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a directional solidification casting method. Background technique [0002] With the vigorous development of industries such as aviation, aerospace and energy, traditional materials and material processing technology can no longer meet the demand, and the emphasis on new materials and new material processing technology is increasing. Among them, reducing the weight of engine structural components and increasing engine combustion temperature are effective ways to improve efficiency. At present, nickel-based superalloys and titanium alloys are commonly used in high-temperature components. The service temperature of titanium alloys reaches 600°C, and that of nickel-based superalloys is close to 1100°C. However, nickel-based superalloys have a high density, while titanium alloys have poor oxidation resistance at high temperatures. Therefore, finding a new type of alloy that is light, high-temperature resistant and highly reliable h...
