Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy material preparation, provides a method for preparing a high-air-tight nickel-copper alloy for traveling wave tubes, and solves the problem of difficulty in preparing a high-air-tight bulk nickel-copper alloy. Background technique [0002] Traveling wave tube is the main type of broadband and high-power amplifier in microwave vacuum devices. It is widely used in data communication, electronic countermeasures, early warning aircraft, fire control radar, precision guidance and other fields, and plays an irreplaceable role in military electronic equipment. . The amplifying chain of the key components of the traveling wave tube is usually made of nickel-copper alloy material, and the normal operation of the amplifying chain of the traveling wave tube depends on its good air tightness inside. Therefore, the vacuum air tightness of the nickel-copper alloy directly affects the performance of the amplifica...

Problems solved by technology

But the problem lies in the preparation of nickel-copper alloy by traditional casting process. Not only is the process complicated, but also large internal stress will remain inside the casting, forming micro-cracks, which are easy to crack during use and affect the actual performance of nickel-copper alloy castings.

During the smelting process, the melting points of nickel and copper are quite different (the melting point of nickel is 1452°C, and the melting point of copper is 1083°C). When the smelting requirements of nickel are met, copper is smelted at high temperature for too long, resulting in copper and oxygen The reaction produces copper oxide inclusions, which makes the material structure not dense; when the nickel-copper alloy is smelted at high temperature, it is easy to absorb gas, which leads to eas
