Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical technology, and in particular to a smelting chute for improving the purity and surface quality of high-temperature alloys and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature alloys possess excellent high-temperature mechanical properties and resistance to oxidation and corrosion, and are mainly used in the manufacture of hot-end components for aero engines and gas turbines. Due to the generation of slag and inclusions during the smelting process, the high-temperature alloy master alloy is filtered through a filter screen in a chute after smelting and then poured into a mold. The alloy liquid in the mold solidifies and cools to form a master alloy ingot.

[0003] In the smelting and casting process, the existing slag baffle chute has the following main problems: (1) Inclusions in the molten alloy cannot immediately float to the surface of the molten alloy, which greatly reduces the function of the slag baffle. The inclusions and slag that are not blocked will block the filter screen and cause the molten alloy to overflow the filter screen and be poured directly into the mold tube, resulting in the scrapping of the alloy ingot due to the presence of a large number of inclusions; (2) Due to the small contact area when the molten alloy is poured to the surface of the chute, it is very easy to form splashes. The splashes solidify first in the un-poured mold tube, which may cause the final alloy ingot to have casting defects; (3) After the molten alloy is poured into the chute from the crucible, the slag baffle is easily eroded by the high-temperature molten alloy for a long time, causing the refractory material of the slag baffle to fall off and enter the molten alloy. Finally, it exists in the form of inclusions in the master alloy ingot, resulting in the scrapping of the alloy ingot due to the presence of a large number of inclusions. Because high-temperature alloys are used in special environments, the purity requirements of the alloys are extremely high. Therefore, developing a chute that can reduce splashing during casting and significantly reduce inclusions in the high-temperature alloy master alloy is of great engineering significance for improving the purity and surface quality of the high-temperature alloy master alloy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome and supplement the deficiencies in the existing technology, and to provide a smelting chute and its usage method for improving the purity and surface quality of high-temperature alloys. This chute and its usage method can reduce the intensity of splashing during casting and significantly reduce inclusions in the high-temperature alloy master alloy. The baffle-free design and U-shaped filter screen increase the contact area of ​​the molten steel as it falls, effectively reducing splashing. The baffle-free structure allows most of the slag to be intercepted at the U-shaped filter screen and the first sheet filter screen in the early stages of casting. If the U-shaped filter screen and the first sheet filter screen are blocked by slag or inclusions, the molten steel can flow over them and directly to the second and third sheet filters for filtration, avoiding the risk of changing the chute midway and the occurrence of overflow accidents. This reduces casting time, minimizes the temperature drop of the alloy liquid, and thus improves the purity of the high-temperature alloy.

Melting the alloy: Adjust the temperature of the melted alloy liquid to 1480~1550℃, pour the alloy liquid into the chute (1), and the alloy liquid is filtered multiple times through the U-shaped filter screen (2), the first sheet filter screen (3), the second sheet filter screen (4), and the third sheet filter screen (5) in the chute (1). Finally, it is injected into the module through the pouring port (6) to complete the pouring of the high-temperature alloy ingot.
