[0040] 10T large single-weight wide nickel coil preparation process, comprising the following steps:

[0041] 1) Raw material: 12.5 tons of electrolytic nickel plate with a purity of not less than 99.96%, cut into nickel plate strips with a width of 200-700mm by using a cutting machine, wherein the length of the nickel plate strip is determined according to the length of the consumable electrode;

[0042] 2) Consumable electrode preparation: two consumable electrodes are prepared by using the cut electrolytic nickel plate strips, i.e. one 7.7-ton φ700x5000mm round electrode and one 4.8-ton φ700x3100mm round electrode; the preparation steps of the consumable electrode are as follows:

[0043] 2-1) The cut electrolytic nickel plate strips are laid one by one on the shaping frame, and the length direction of each electrolytic nickel plate strip is argon arc welded, wherein the current during argon arc welding is 180-260A, the argon flow rate is 10-15L / min, the weld length is 10mm, and the welding quality of the welding position is ensured;

[0044] 2-2) Tighten the hinges and use 50mm wide and 3.0mm thick packing strips to bundle and pack the items, with the packing strips spaced 400mm apart. The packing strips are pure nickel strips.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the specific structure of the shaping frame 1 is as follows: The shaping frame 1 includes a base frame 1-1, and multiple arc-shaped frames 1-2 are evenly distributed along the length of the base frame 1-1. The openings of the arc-shaped frames 1-2 are upward, and the lower ends of the arc-shaped frames 1-2 are fixed to the base frame 1-1. Cut electrolytic nickel strips are laid on the arc-shaped support surface of the arc-shaped frames 1-2 in a sequence of increasing width and then decreasing width, and then welded for shaping. Specifically, the base frame 1-1 uses two parallel side uprights 1-11 and a longitudinal bar 1-12 parallel between the two side uprights 1-11. Multiple horizontal bars 1-13 are evenly distributed above the side uprights 1-11 and the longitudinal bars 1-12, and the multiple horizontal bars 1-13 fixedly connected to the side uprights 1-11 and the longitudinal bars 1-12 fix the two side uprights 1-11 and the longitudinal bars 1-12. The components are integrated into one unit. Specifically, the arc-shaped frame 1-2 includes two parallel columns 1-21 and an arc-shaped plate 1-22 with its opening facing upward and fixedly connected to the side wall of the corresponding side column 1-21. The lower ends of the two columns 1-21 are fixed to the outer wall of the corresponding side plate 1-11. The lower end of the arc-shaped plate 1-22 is fixedly connected to the side plate 1-11 and the longitudinal rod 1-12. A support rod 1-23 with its lower end fixedly connected to the side wall of the longitudinal rod 1-12 is fixed on the inner side wall of the column 1-21. When shaping the circular electrode, nickel strips of the same length are selected according to the length of the circular electrode. They are laid from bottom to top in order of width from small to large and then back to small. Each layer is welded and fixed to the nickel strips on the corresponding side. Under the support and guidance of the arc surface of the arc plate 1-22, the circular electrode is formed after welding.

[0046] 3) Melting: The two round electrodes are melted twice using a vacuum consumable arc melting method. The first melting uses a φ760mm copper crystallizer, and the second melting uses a φ840mm copper crystallizer. The advantages of using two melting methods are as follows: (1) It can ensure more complete gas emission and greatly reduce the conditions for the formation of pores inside the nickel ingot; (2) Harmful residual elements are easily volatilized under high temperature melting, thereby achieving a purification effect; (3) The two melting methods also make the composition of the ingot more uniform.

[0047] Specifically, in the first melting, a φ700*5000mm round electrode is loaded into a φ760mm copper crystallizer, the φ700*5000mm round electrode is welded and fixed at the lower end of the auxiliary electrode, the furnace is opened after the welding position is cooled and solidified, the φ700*5000mm round electrode is completely melted, the furnace cover is opened after cooling for about two hours, a φ700*3100mm round electrode is loaded into the φ760mm copper crystallizer, and the φ700*3100mm round electrode is welded and fixed at the lower end of the auxiliary electrode, the furnace is opened after the welding position is cooled and solidified, and the furnace is opened after the φ700*3100mm round electrode is completely melted and cooled for at least 7 hours, completing the first melting of the two round electrodes; specifically, the vacuum degree in the vacuum consumable arc melting furnace before the auxiliary electrode is welded with the φ700*5000mm round electrode and the φ700*3100mm round electrode is ≤1Pa, the welding current when the auxiliary electrode is welded with the two round electrodes is 3-12kA, the welding voltage is 20-40V, and the cooling time after welding is ≥30min; the vacuum degree in the furnace before the first melting is ≤4Pa, the air leakage rate is ≤1Pa / min, and the arc stabilizing current is 10A; the current in the melting stable stage is 15-19kA, the voltage is 32-38V, the vacuum degree is ≤10Pa, the supplement is started at a position 80mm away from the head during melting, the current is reduced to 10KA at a speed of 2KA / min, and then reduced to 4KA at a speed of 1KA / min, and the melting current of 4KA is used until the melting is completed;

[0048] After the nickel ingot obtained after the first melting is turned into a flat head, it is loaded into a φ840mm copper crystallizer, the nickel ingot is welded and fixed at the lower end of the auxiliary electrode, the furnace is opened after the welding position is cooled and solidified, and the furnace is opened after the nickel ingot is completely melted and cooled for at least 10 hours, completing the second melting; the vacuum degree in the vacuum consumable arc melting furnace before the auxiliary electrode is welded with the nickel ingot obtained after the first melting is ≤1Pa, the welding current is 4-12kA, the welding voltage is 20-40V, and the cooling time after welding is ≥30min; the vacuum degree in the furnace before the second melting is ≤2Pa, the air leakage rate is ≤1Pa / min, and the arc stabilizing current is 12A; the current in the melting stable stage is 25-30kA, the voltage is 33-40V, the vacuum degree is ≤8Pa, the supplement is started at a position 150mm away from the head during melting, the current is reduced to 16KA at a speed of 2KA / min during the supplement stage, and then reduced to 4KA at a speed of 1KA / min, and the melting current of 4KA is used until the melting is completed;

[0051] The vacuum consumable arc melting crystallizer adopts external water cooling, the metal liquid in the crystallizer gradually solidifies from the edge to the center, the liquid metal in the edge continuously absorbs the liquid metal in the center to supplement, so as to form a hole at the center position of the cross section of the upper part of the ingot, and the supplementing process in the scheme is used to slow down the melting speed in the later stage of melting, and the liquid metal in the center is continuously supplemented during the gradual solidification of the metal in the edge, so that the depth of the center hole is greatly reduced, and the yield of the ingot is improved.
