AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a new device and method for preparing a large-sized high-quality aluminium alloy ingot. By using a mold with a partitioned gas supply structure and a combination of intra-mold uniform cooling and extra-mold electromagnetic stirring, the melt is cooled and three-dimensional convectioned during solidification, improving the uniformity of temperature and component fields for the bulky alloy melt. This invention can prepare large-sized aluminum alloy ingots with excellent surface quality and internal quality.

Problems solved by technology

The prior gas film casting method can't be used to prepare large-sized aluminium alloy ingots, as it has the disadvantage that the ingots prepared thereby are featured by poor surface quality, and coarse and non-uniform internal structures.

Abstract

Provided is a device for preparing a large-sized high-quality aluminium alloy ingot, which is mainly composed of a uniform cooler, a hot top, an oil-gas lubrication mold, an induction coil and a dummy ingot, wherein the hot top is arranged above the oil-gas lubrication mold, the induction coil is arranged outside the oil-gas lubrication mold, the uniform cooler is arranged inside the oil-gas lubrication mold, and the dummy ingot is arranged below the oil-gas lubrication mold. Further provided is a method for preparing a large-sized high-quality aluminium alloy ingot. The device combines a partitioned gas supply mold with the uniform cooler and an electromagnetic stirrer, and the effective coupling of the three achieves forced and uniform solidification forming of a melt under gas pressure contact conditions, such that a stable and continuous gas film is formed between the melt and the mold. The ingot has a smooth surface, and a fine and uniform internal structure.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention belongs to the field of metal material processing, and more particularly, to a device and method for preparing a large-sized high-quality aluminium alloy ingot.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]As improved operational performances have been achieved for large-sized whole-set equipment in the manufacturing industry, it has become an inevitable trend that large-sized integrated structures will be used more and more widely in such fields as aerospace, rail transportation and shipbuilding. For example, large-sized integrated aluminium materials and high-performance thick plates are widely employed to develop large-sized transport aircrafts, high-performance combat aircrafts and high-speed trains. Moreover, as these materials are prepared by large-sized high-quality aluminium alloy ingots, the preparation of the latter is of great significance to improving the equipment capability of the manufacturing industry.[0003]The semi-continuous casting pr...
