Abstract

This invention provides a high-temperature heat treatment method for large-size titanium alloy welded cylinder sections, comprising the following steps: S1: Based on the structure of the cylinder section to be treated, a heat treatment device is fabricated. The heat treatment device includes a bottom plate, a cylinder body, and a top plate from bottom to top. The two ends of the cylinder body are connected to the bottom plate and the top plate, respectively. An air inlet pipe is connected to the cylinder body and is close to the bottom plate. An exhaust pipe is connected to the top plate; S2: The top plate is opened, and the cylinder section is placed inside the heat treatment device. Then, the top plate is welded and sealed to the cylinder body; S3: Argon gas is injected into the inner cavity of the device through the air inlet pipe to purge the original air in the cavity; S4: The heat treatment device is placed in a heat treatment furnace for heat treatment. After the cylinder section has been heat-treated, the top plate is opened and the cylinder section is removed. The high-temperature treatment method of this invention overcomes the problems of high cost, low efficiency, difficult operation, and even the inability to perform vacuum heat treatment on large-size titanium alloy welded cylinder sections using existing vacuum heat treatment methods.
