[0029] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a titanium alloy ingot, comprising the following steps:

[0030] The non-finished titanium alloy ingots containing easily segregated elements are used as consumable electrodes, and vacuum consumable arc smelting is used to smelt the finished product. The finished smelting includes a stable smelting stage and a feeding stage in sequence; the smelting current in the feeding stage is step-by-step and the decreasing rate of smelting current at all levels is (0.02~0.5)KA / min→(0.02~0.2)KA / min→(0.2~2)KA / min→(0.02~0.2)KA / min.

[0031] Among them, the unit KA / min is kiloampere per minute, which refers to the value of current reduction per minute.

[0032] Among them, the segregation-prone elements include at least one of Cu, Fe, Cr, Mo, and Nb.

[0033] The technical personnel of the present invention have found through a lot of research that the rapid current drop in the early stage of the feeding stage is ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a titanium alloy ingot and a preparation method thereof, comprising the steps of: using an unfinished titanium alloy ingot containing easily segregated elements as a consumable electrode, and using vacuum consumable arc smelting to smelt the finished product, and the finished product smelting comprises: The stable smelting stage and the feeding stage are carried out in sequence; the smelting current in the feeding stage is gradually reduced, and the decreasing rate of the smelting current at each stage is (0.02-0.5) KA / min→(0.02-0.2) KA / min →(0.2~2)KA / min→(0.02~0.2)KA / min. On the basis of the conventional feeding process, the present invention greatly reduces the current reduction rate in the early stage of the feeding stage, and controls the current reduction rate at all levels, so that the molten pool can be slowly raised and the depth of the molten pool can be reduced. , to reduce the tendency of element segregation in the center of the riser area, thereby improving the problem of component segregation and beta spot in the riser area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of titanium alloys, in particular to a titanium alloy ingot and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] When the titanium alloy is smelted by vacuum consumable (VAR smelting), the titanium alloy ingot is gradually solidified upward from the bottom of the ingot in order. Due to the equilibrium distribution coefficient K of each alloy element in the titanium alloy 0 The difference in segregation degree (also called segregation degree) makes some alloying elements of titanium alloy ingots distribute regularly in various parts of the whole ingot, resulting in segregation effect. Balanced distribution coefficient K 0 Elements > 1 will be enriched in the bottom and edge of the ingot, which is called positive segregation; equilibrium partition coefficient K 0 Elements < 1 will be enriched in the head and core of the ingot, which is called negative segregation. K 0 The farther it deviat...
