Abstract

The invention provides a low-cost method for preparing a niobium-base alloy, belonging to the technical field of refractory alloys. The method comprises the following steps: designing an interalloy according to the components of the target niobium-base alloy, and melting in an electron-beam melting furnace to obtain an interalloy cast ingot; after cutting the interalloy cast ingot into sheets, hydrogenating in high-purity hydrogen gas, and mechanically crushing to obtain fine-particle-size hydrogen absorption powder; carrying out partial dehydrogenation on the fine-particle-size hydrogen absorption powder in a vacuum atmosphere to obtain partially dehydrogenated interalloy powder; and uniformly mixing the partially dehydrogenated interalloy powder with niobium powder, mixing on a mixer to obtain a feed material with uniform rheological properties, forming the feed material on an injection molder, removing the adhesive by solvent degreasing and hot degreasing, and carrying out vacuum sintering to obtain the niobium-base alloy. The method has the advantages of low cost of the raw material powder and simple preparation technique.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of refractory metals, and particularly provides a low-cost method for preparing niobium-based alloys. Background technique [0002] Niobium alloy has excellent properties such as high melting point, low density, and high high-temperature strength. It is an important high-temperature structural material and has great application potential in the aerospace field. At present, the preparation of niobium alloys mainly adopts the technology of electron beam melting, forging or hot extrusion to prepare plates or rods, and then through mechanical processing to make parts of required shape and size. Due to the high deformation resistance and brittleness of niobium-based alloys at room temperature, it is difficult to prepare niobium-based alloy parts with complex shapes. The powder metallurgy process has greater flexibility in the preparation of complex shapes of niobium-based alloy parts, and the composition of the ...
