[0002] The most commonly used preparation method of titanium and titanium alloy is vacuum self-consumption arc furnace smelting method, which uses a hydraulic machine to compress the dispersed granular mixture in the die cavity into an electrode block. In the traditional production method, a single electrode block is usually a 1 / 2 cylinder, two 1 / 2 cylinders are combined into a section, and multiple sections are combined to form a finished titanium and titanium alloy cylindrical rod.

[0003] 1 / 2 cylinder production: the titanium alloy electrode block of 1 / 2 cylinder is pressed, the traditional extrusion die includes a punch, a die and a frame die, the die is installed in the hydraulic machine, the bottom of the hydraulic machine is provided with a base plate, the base plate is provided with an embedded groove for clamping the die and the frame die; the die is matched and installed in the frame die, the die is provided with a cavity for accommodating raw materials in the middle, the punch is fixed on the slider of the hydraulic machine, the slider of the hydraulic machine can drive the punch to move downward, the punch is pressed into the die cavity, and the raw materials are extruded into a titanium alloy electrode block with a certain shape and density by the huge pressure of the hydraulic machine.

[0004] The existing titanium alloy rod production has the following defects:

[0005] 1) The shape of the bottom die and the punch restricts the material, thereby forming an electrode block with a specific shape and specification. One electrode block corresponds to one diameter of rod. The die used to produce a single electrode block is a special die, that is, one die can only produce one diameter of titanium alloy rod, and the utilization rate of the die is low.

[0006] 2) The existing forming die, the diameter of the rod is the circumscribed circle of the end face (2HxL) of the cast electrode block group, and the length of the rod is the remaining length in the axial direction (13W) of the cast electrode block group after melting and filling. The existing forming die needs to prepare multiple sets of different section liners, different section punches and multiple different scale bases for producing different electrode blocks. One set of die corresponds to the forming of one electrode block, the utilization rate of the die is low, and the production cost is high.

[0007] 3) The density of the formed electrode block is proportional to the face pressure of the punch pressing surface (WxL), the larger the pressing section area, the greater the pressing force required by the hydraulic machine, the titanium and titanium alloy mixture needs to overcome a larger die expansion side pressure, and the compressed material has high hardness. Therefore, the larger the rod, the greater the damage to the die cavity during the pressing process, and the higher the resistance requirement of the die. SUMMARY
