Abstract

The invention discloses a method for refining cast titanium alloy crystalline grains, which is used for realizing refining of a titanium alloy structure by controlling a solidification path and avoiding a performance worsening problem caused by foreign impurities. A beta phase is transformed into an alpha phase to form an alpha slice through thermal-insulation treatment of the alloy at 800 DEG C-1080 DEG C. Meanwhile, the transformed alpha slice has transformation towards the beta-phase under a thermal-insulation state. In the process, accumulation of phase transformation stress is caused, so that the alpha slice is bent and nodulized to generate an isometric crystal; consistence of casting piece temperature is controlled to achieve a purpose of refining the crystalline grains, so that structure homogeneity of a casting piece is improved. The method has the characteristics that operation is simple, production cost is low and no influences of casting piece dimension and complexity are achieved; moreover, the casting piece is controllable in quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metal solidification manufacturing, in particular to a method for realizing titanium alloy grain refinement by controlling the solidification path process. Background technique [0002] Due to its high strength, excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance, titanium alloys play an important role in aviation, aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields. However, the high cost limits the widespread use of titanium alloys. Titanium alloy investment casting is a near-net shape method, which has great cost advantages compared with other methods. During the precision casting process, because the crystal growth rate of titanium and its alloys is greater than the rate of crystal nucleus formation during the solidification process, titanium and titanium alloys tend to form coarse grain structures. In addition, titanium alloy has high melting point, strong chemical activity, and poor thermal conductivity, re...
