AI Technical Summary
Existing high-temperature alloy ingot preparation technologies make it difficult to precisely control process parameters during the metallurgical process, which often leads to metallurgical defects such as segregation, grain boundary embrittlement, and hot cracks in the ingots, affecting material properties and service life.
By adjusting the smelting process parameters in the high-temperature alloy smelting process, and adopting a triple smelting process (vacuum induction melting, protective atmosphere electroslag remelting, and vacuum consumable remelting) and a double smelting process (vacuum induction melting and vacuum consumable remelting), black spots and white spots defects are pre-set in the high-temperature alloy ingots, and parameters such as melting speed, atmosphere, and cooling rate are controlled.
This technology enables precise pre-positioning of black and white spots in high-temperature alloy ingots, altering the microstructure to meet specific application requirements. It provides a foundation for studying defect formation mechanisms and optimizing detection, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality stability.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of alloy, in particular to a preparation method of metallurgical defects of high-temperature alloy ingot. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-temperature alloys are a class of high-performance alloy materials that can work in high-temperature environments for a long time, widely used in aerospace, nuclear industry, petroleum and chemical industry, etc. These alloy materials are usually composed of nickel, chromium, titanium, aluminum, molybdenum and other elements, with good oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties. Due to its important industrial application value, the preparation technology of high-temperature alloy material has been widely concerned. In the preparation process of high-temperature alloy material, ingot metallurgy is a key link. By controlling the process parameters in the ingot metallurgy 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 and hot cracks may occur during the ingot metallurgy process, which will affect the mechanical properties and service life of the material.
[0003] The existing high-temperature alloy ingot preparation technology mainly includes vacuum induction melting, vacuum arc remelting, vacuum consumable electrode melting and other methods. These methods can reduce impurities and gas content in the alloy through vacuum environment and high-temperature melting, improve the purity and performance of the material. In terms of controlling the process parameters in the ingot metallurgy process, the existing technology mainly adjusts the melting temperature, holding time, cooling speed and other parameters to adjust the alloy composition and organizational structure. For example, by reducing the melting temperature and prolonging the holding time, the diffusion and homogenization of alloy elements can be promoted, thereby reducing the segregation phenomenon. Through rapid cooling, the grain boundary coarsening can be inhibited, and the toughness of the material can be improved.
[0004] However, based on the research direction of materials science, the preparation of high-temperature alloy samples containing certain defects can effectively help researchers understand the formation mechanism of defects and form effective detection and testing techniques, providing guidance for subsequent production of high-quality alloy ingots and improving the qualification rate of finished products.

[0101] The main factors affecting the generation of black spot defects include the melting speed and the cooling rate of the formed ingot during the electroslag remelting process and the vacuum consumable remelting process. The present application controls the generation of black spot defects by controlling the melting speed of the vacuum consumable remelting, the cooling rate of the ingot, and other parameter settings; wherein a high melting speed means a high production rate, also means a deeper mushy zone and a stronger fluid flow between dendrites, which can 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, and the dendrite density inversion phenomenon will be enhanced, resulting in more black spot defects.

When there is a shrinkage cavity in the electrode, the melting process will cause the arc to be unstable, the normal melting of the electrode is affected and the electrode shedding is prone to falling into the molten pool to form dendritic white spots. Therefore, the parameters of the vacuum induction melting process are regulated and controlled in order to regulate the quality of the electrode rod. When the melting rate fluctuates, the depth of the ingot molten pool is reduced, the exogenous substances are prone to falling into the molten pool and are not easy to melt, and the white spots are prone to be formed.
