Problems solved by technology

Foreign monel alloys are mostly smelted by vacuum induction melting + electroslag remelting dual process. The advantages of this process are high material cleanliness and uniform tissue composition. The disadvantage is that the process control is extremely difficult, especially the electroslag process, ingot forging The cracking problem is serious, and the finished product rate is less than 50%
[0004] In recent years, there have been many research results on the forging and forming of Monel alloy, but the actual application effect is very little, mainly because the problem has not been fundamentally solved. In fact, the difficulty of forging and forming is directly related to the quality of electroslag casting ingots. The melting point is low, and the traditional electroslag process is difficult to control the low melting rate, which will inevitably cause the local solidification time to be too long, the ingot grains are coarse, and the composition segregation is serious, which will inevitably lead to cracking of the grain boundary during forging. The main reason for the difficulty of alloy forging

Abstract

The invention discloses a smelting method of monel alloy. The smelting method comprises a vacuum induction smelting process and an electroslag remelting process, wherein the vacuum induction smelting process comprises the following steps of smelting a target steel grade by adopting a vacuum induction furnace, carrying out low-temperature tapping at 40-60 DEG C, and pouring into a water-cooled ingot mold to prepare a consumable electrode; the melting rate in the electroslag remelting process is 3.5kg/min-4kg/min. According to the smelting method, smelting and smelting by virtue of the vacuum induction furnace, carrying out low-superheat pouring and cooling the water-cooled ingot mold are carried out, so that the consumable electrode with low segregation, uniform structure and high quality is obtained, and then protection atmosphere electroslag remelting is carried out; and the solidification structure of the cast ingot is effectively guaranteed to be uniform, component segregation and crystal grain boundary cracking are avoided, so that the obtained cast ingot is fine in crystal grain and better in quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a method for smelting Monel alloy. Background technique [0002] Monel alloy, also known as nickel-copper alloy, is a corrosion-resistant alloy based on nickel metal and contains elements such as copper, iron, and manganese. Its structure is a high-strength single-phase austenite structure. Corrosion-resistant alloy with wide range and excellent comprehensive performance. This alloy has excellent corrosion resistance in fluorine-containing medium, also has excellent corrosion resistance to hot concentrated alkali solution, and is also resistant to corrosion by water, neutral solution, sea water, atmosphere, etc. [0003] At present, the reports on Monel alloy mainly focus on the introduction of performance research and application, and the production process is rarely introduced, mainly because the alloy is difficult to smelt and form. Domestic demand is basically based on i...
