Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of alloys, and in particular to a method for preparing metallurgical defects of high-temperature alloy ingots. Background Art

[0002] High-temperature alloys are a type of high-performance alloy material that can work for a long time in a high-temperature environment. They are widely used in aerospace, nuclear industry, petrochemical industry and other fields. These alloy materials are usually composed of elements such as nickel, chromium, titanium, aluminum, and molybdenum, and have good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties. Due to its important industrial application value, the preparation technology of high-temperature alloy materials has always received widespread attention. In the preparation process of high-temperature alloy materials, ingot metallurgy is a key link. By controlling the process parameters in the ingot metallurgical process, the microstructure of the alloy can be adjusted, thereby affecting the final performance of the material. However, due to the complex composition and special organizational structure of high-temperature alloy materials, various metallurgical defects such as segregation, grain boundary embrittlement, thermal cracking, etc. are prone to occur during the ingot metallurgical process, which will affect the mechanical properties and service life of the material.

[0003] Existing high-temperature alloy ingot preparation technologies mainly include vacuum induction melting, vacuum arc remelting, vacuum consumable electrode melting and other methods. These methods can reduce the impurities and gas content in the alloy and improve the purity and performance of the material through vacuum environment and high-temperature melting. In terms of controlling the process parameters in the ingot metallurgical process, the existing technology mainly adjusts the alloy composition and microstructure by adjusting parameters such as melting temperature, holding time, and cooling rate. For example, by lowering the melting temperature and extending the holding time, the full diffusion and homogenization of the alloy elements can be promoted, thereby reducing the segregation phenomenon. Through rapid cooling, the coarsening of the grain boundaries can be suppressed and the toughness of the material can be improved.

[0004] However, based on the research direction of materials science, preparing high-temperature alloy samples containing certain defects can effectively help R&D personnel understand the formation mechanism of defects and form effective detection and inspection technical means, providing guidance for the subsequent production of high-quality alloy ingots and improving the qualified rate of finished parts.

[0101] The main factors that affect the generation of black spot defects include the melting rate in the electroslag remelting process and the vacuum consumable remelting process and the cooling rate of the formed ingot. The present invention controls the generation of black spot defects by controlling the melting rate of the vacuum consumable remelting, the cooling rate of the ingot and coordinating other parameter settings; wherein, a high melting rate means high productivity, and also means that the corresponding mushy zone is deeper and the fluid flow between the dendrites will become stronger, which will lead to the formation of black spots; when the cooling rate of the ingot decreases, the local solidification time increases, the depth of the mushy zone of the ingot will become deeper, the density reversal phenomenon between the dendrites will be enhanced, and more black spot defects will be generated.

[0102] In some embodiments of the present invention, the parameters of vacuum induction melting in the method for preparing black spot defects in high temperature alloy ingots are as follows:

[0120] The main factors that affect the generation of white spot defects include the quality of the electrode during vacuum consumable remelting, the unstable voltage caused by the melting conditions that causes fluctuations in the melting rate, and the amount of helium charged. When there are shrinkage cavities in the electrode, the melting process will cause arc instability, affecting the normal melting of the electrode and causing the electrode's easily detached materials to fall into the molten pool, forming dendrite-like white spots. Therefore, in order to adjust the quality of the electrode rod, the parameters of the vacuum induction melting process are regulated; when the melting rate fluctuates, the depth of the ingot's molten pool will be reduced, and exogenous materials will fall into the molten pool, making it more difficult to melt and prone to white spots. Therefore, the arc starting melting rate and the melting rate in the melting stage during vacuum consumable remelting are regulated.
