Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of alloy preparation, and particularly to a method for preparing a titanium alloy ingot and a titanium alloy. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of high-end equipment such as aerospace, higher requirements have been put forward for the specific strength, specific stiffness and other comprehensive properties of titanium alloys for aerospace frame beam load-bearing structural parts, aircraft landing gears, etc. As a structural component, high-strength and tough titanium alloys are used in aerospace and other parts that require high strength and toughness, which can further improve the specific strength and specific stiffness of titanium alloys to achieve greater weight reduction. Among them, TC18, as a typical representative of high-strength and tough titanium alloys, is widely used in aircraft landing gears and key main load-bearing structural parts of aircraft frame beams. This alloy has good corrosion resistance. In the annealed state, the structure has approximately equal amounts of α-phase and β-phase, and the strength can reach more than 1080 MPa. It is one of the titanium alloys with the highest strength in the annealed state. After annealing, it has good welding performance, and the maximum working temperature can reach 400°C. At the same time, the TC18 alloy can be quenched through a cross-sectional thickness of up to 250 mm, which is particularly suitable for manufacturing large load-bearing structural parts on the aircraft fuselage and landing gears. Replacing high-strength steel or Ti6Al4V alloy with TC18 titanium alloy in the aircraft structure can reduce the weight by 15% - 20%. This alloy is generally used in the double-annealed state, and can also be strengthened by solution aging. Its main semi-finished products include plates, bars, tubes, fasteners, extruded profiles and forgings, etc. Due to the good comprehensive mechanical properties of TC18, it is expected to exceed TC4 and become the mainstream titanium alloy with wider application in the future. At present, domestic titanium alloy enterprises mainly produce TC18 by adding vanadium-aluminum, aluminum-molybdenum, metal chromium, ferrotitanium and aluminum beans respectively to meet the composition requirements. Since the shapes and physical and chemical properties of the added alloys are different, it is not easy to control the uniformity of the melting composition, and the composition of the titanium alloy ingot fluctuates greatly. In addition, the melting, forging and heat treatment processes of TC18 titanium alloy are relatively complex, resulting in a high production cost of TC18, which seriously restricts the popularization and application of TC18.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0014] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention or the prior art, the following will briefly introduce the drawings required for the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other embodiments can be obtained based on these drawings.
[0015] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of the preparation method of the titanium alloy ingot provided by the embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0017] It should be noted that all the expressions using "first" and "second" in the embodiments of the present invention are used to distinguish two non - identical entities or non - identical parameters with the same name. It can be seen that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention. This will not be elaborated in the subsequent embodiments one by one.
[0018] According to one aspect of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing a titanium alloy ingot, as Figure 1 shown, which may include the steps: Each time, mix 15 - 16% by mass of a multi - element vanadium alloy, 2 - 3% of aluminum beans, and 81 - 83% of titanium sponge in a mold and extrude them. After repeating multiple times, an electrode with a preset length is obtained; Perform multiple VAR smelting operations on the electrode in a vacuum consumable arc furnace to obtain a titanium alloy ingot.
[0019] By adopting a semi - continuous extrusion process to extrude the raw materials in batches, the present invention obtains a titanium alloy integral consumable electrode containing a multi - element vanadium alloy, avoiding the uneven distribution of a large amount of multi - element vanadium alloy during the raw material mixing process, and ensuring the uniform distribution of the multi - element vanadium alloy in the integral electrode.
[0020] In some embodiments, a titanium alloy ingot is obtained by performing multiple VAR smelting processes in an electrode vacuum consumable arc furnace, which further includes: Stirring the molten pool with a first alternating magnetic field generated by a stabilizing arc current in a first direction; Stopping the stirring after a preset time period; Stirring the molten pool with a second alternating magnetic field generated by a stabilizing arc current in a second direction after a preset time duration; Stopping the stirring after a preset time period, and returning to the step of stirring the molten pool with the first alternating magnetic field generated by the stabilizing arc current in the first direction after a preset time duration.
[0021] Specifically, the stabilizing arc current is usually carried out using a DC or AC magnetic field. However, due to the inertial motion during the Lorentz force stirring process, the liquid level of the molten pool is unstable, resulting in uneven composition of the ingot and poor surface quality of the ingot. The embodiments of the present invention adopt a smelting process of "constant melting rate" to keep the depth of the molten pool of the ingot relatively constant, and stir the molten pool with the Lorentz force generated by the alternating magnetic field generated by the stabilizing arc current. After stirring for a preset time period, pause for 2 - 5 seconds, change the current direction, generate a second alternating magnetic field, and stir the molten pool with the Lorentz force generated by the second alternating magnetic field. After stirring for a preset time period, pause for 2 - 5 seconds, and repeat multiple times. This can weaken the confinement of the arc light, evenly distribute it to the entire liquid surface of the molten pool, reduce the temperature gradient at different positions of the molten pool, and reduce the area of the solid-liquid two-phase region of the molten pool, thereby obtaining a relatively uniform TC18 high-strength and tough titanium alloy ingot.
[0022] Compared with the TC18 high-strength and tough titanium alloy ingot produced by the traditional method of adding multiple vanadium alloys, the TC18 high-strength and tough titanium alloy ingot produced by the method of the present invention significantly reduces the problems of inclusion and segregation of components, and the obtained ingot has a more uniform composition.
[0023] In some embodiments, the magnitude of the stabilizing arc current in the first direction and / or the stabilizing arc current in the second direction is 5 - 8 A; The preset time period is 3 - 5 s; The preset time duration is 2 - 5 s.
[0024] In some embodiments, each time a multi-element vanadium alloy with a mass percentage of 15 - 16%, 2 - 3% of aluminum beans, and 81 - 83% of sponge titanium are mixed and extruded in a mold, which further includes: Wrapping the multi-element vanadium alloy with aluminum foil to form a multi-element vanadium alloy package; Mixing a plurality of the multi-element vanadium alloy packages, the aluminum beans, and the sponge titanium evenly in the mold.
[0025] In some embodiments, the number of the multi-element vanadium alloy packages is 10 to 30, and the weight of each multi-element vanadium alloy package is 300 - 400 g.
[0026] In some embodiments, mixing a plurality of multi-element vanadium alloy packages, the aluminum beans, and the titanium sponge evenly in the mold further includes: Placing a plurality of the multi-element vanadium alloy packages evenly into the mold; After mixing the aluminum beans and the titanium sponge evenly, putting them into the mold.
[0027] In some embodiments, the multi-element vanadium alloy is a five-element vanadium alloy of Mo35-V35-Cr8-Fe8-Al.
[0028] Specifically, by adding the multi-element vanadium alloy Al-Mo-V-Cr-Fe five-element alloy in batches, wrapping the multi-element vanadium alloy with aluminum foil (the weight of each aluminum-foil-wrapped multi-element vanadium alloy is 300 - 400 g, and the number is 10 - 30), manually putting the aluminum-foil-wrapped multi-element vanadium alloy packages into the groove at the core of the extrusion mold first, and then automatically pouring the evenly mixed remaining raw materials into the mold cylinder, controlling the weight of the raw materials per batch at 40 - 50 kg, and adopting a semi-continuous extrusion process to obtain a titanium alloy integral consumable electrode containing the multi-element vanadium alloy.

[0030] Specifically, putting the raw materials with a single feeding weight (40 - 50 kg) into the mold cylinder, extruding the raw materials by adopting a semi-continuous extrusion process, controlling the extrusion pressure at 6000 - 8000 tons and the extrusion speed at 20 - 40 mm / s, so as to obtain a TC18 high-strength and tough titanium alloy integral consumable electrode; In some embodiments, performing multiple VAR smelting on the electrode in a vacuum consumable arc furnace further includes: Performing 3 times of VAR smelting on the electrode in the vacuum consumable arc furnace, wherein for each smelting, controlling the vacuum degree before smelting < 1 Pa, the vacuum degree during smelting ≤ 1.33 Pa, and the smelting speed at 10 - 15 kg / min.
[0031] Specifically, during the smelting process, a smelting process of "constant melting rate" is adopted. By controlling the stability of the melting speed, the relative constancy of the ingot molten pool depth is maintained. An alternating magnetic field is applied to the arc stabilizing current, and the molten pool is stirred forward and backward with a 2 - 5 - second pause in the middle, thereby obtaining a high-strength and tough titanium alloy ingot with uniform composition. The pressed integral electrode of TC18 high-strength and tough titanium alloy can be transferred to a vacuum consumable arc furnace for 3 times of VAR smelting. Each time of smelting, the pre-melting vacuum degree is controlled to be < 1 Pa, and the in-melting vacuum degree is ≤ 1.33 Pa. During the finished product smelting, the melting speed is strictly controlled at 10 - 15 kg / min, and a 5 - 8 A forward and reverse arc stabilizing current is used to stir the molten pool, with each current lasting for 3 - 5 S (a 2 - 5 - second pause in the middle of forward and reverse rotation).
