Abstract

The invention relates to a rapid solidification system for suspending large-sized metal droplets under microgravity conditions, comprising a vacuum cavity, a suspension induction heating device, a motion detection device and a rapid liquid quenching device. The vacuum chamber includes an electromagnetic suspension chamber, a microgravity chamber and a rapid liquid quenching chamber connected from top to bottom. The suspension induction heating device has a conical suspension induction coil formed by spiral winding, the coil is arranged in the center of the electromagnetic suspension cavity, and is used for melting and suspending the alloy sample. The microgravity cavity is a hollow tube, which enables the alloy sample to acquire microgravity. The motion detection device is used to continuously and dynamically collect the temperature and morphology of the falling alloy sample. The rapid liquid quenching device is provided with a quenching cooling medium, which is used to achieve rapid liquid quenching and solidification of the alloy sample. The invention avoids the heterogeneous nucleation caused by the contact of the vessel wall when the sample is melted to obtain deep supercooling, eliminates the tissue segregation caused by the action of gravity, and realizes the rapid solidification of the millimeter to centimeter-scale metal droplets.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of space material science and technology, in particular to a system and method for realizing rapid solidification of large-sized metal droplets under microgravity conditions. Background technique [0002] The microstructure of metal materials produced by traditional casting usually has many defects, such as coarse structure, shrinkage cavity and impurities. This greatly affects the preparation and development of high-quality materials. The rapid solidification method makes the alloy melt in a thermodynamic metastable state by means of deep supercooling or rapid cooling. At this time, there will be fierce competitive nucleation and growth between different phases in the liquid alloy, resulting in grain refinement in the final solidification structure. Solute retention, etc. [0003] The space environment has the characteristics of "ultra-high vacuum, microgravity, and no container". In the field of space material sci...
