Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material smelting, and specifically provides an intelligent control method for the stirring intensity of titanium alloy VAR melting. Background Art

[0002] During the titanium alloy VAR melting process, the arc heating effect causes the electrode to melt layer by layer and form a molten pool. The flow state of the molten pool determines the compositional uniformity, microstructure stability, and internal defect conditions of the final ingot, and electromagnetic stirring is a key factor affecting the flow of the molten pool. The existing electromagnetic stirring control methods for VAR melting mainly calculate based on the steady-state electromagnetic force field and adopt a stirring strategy with fixed parameters. However, the traditional methods have the following deficiencies: 1. In the prior art, most existing electromagnetic stirring calculation methods are based on the steady-state electromagnetic force field model and do not fully consider the transient effect of the eddy current field. Since eddy currents are generated inside the molten pool due to electromagnetic induction during the VAR melting process, which in turn affects the flow velocity distribution of the molten pool, the traditional methods fail to effectively utilize the eddy current field to optimize the stirring force, resulting in uneven local flow and increasing the risk of alloy composition segregation; 2. In the prior art, the existing electromagnetic stirring strategies for VAR melting usually adjust the electromagnetic force with fixed parameters. However, the flow velocity field and temperature field of the molten pool will undergo complex dynamic changes during the melting process, and the traditional methods cannot optimize and adjust the electromagnetic force according to the actual state of the molten pool, resulting in local flow strengthening or weakening, making it difficult to ensure the stirring uniformity and affecting the overall quality of the ingot.

[0024] S3.

[0025] S4. Optimize the electromagnetic stirring force field of the molten pool according to the eddy current field; In this step, the electromagnetic stirring force field is solved and the electromagnetic stirring scheme is optimized, including: Calculate the electromagnetic force field The core acting force of electromagnetic stirring comes from the Lorentz force: ; In step S4, the Lorentz force is calculated by substituting the induced current density corrected through the eddy current field calculation . The electromagnetic stirring force is the dominant external force source for the fluid motion inside the molten pool during the VAR process of titanium alloy. By calculating the cross product of the corrected induced current density and the magnetic induction intensity , the Lorentz force can be obtained, which can effectively drive the flow of molten pool metal, break the local stagnant area caused by density difference and temperature gradient, and prevent the occurrence of quality defects such as impurity segregation, shrinkage cavity, and grain coarsening; Optimize the electromagnetic stirring distribution in combination with the temperature gradient The flow inside the molten pool is driven by the electromagnetic force and can be expressed by the momentum equation as: ; This equation is the basic control equation for calculating and iteratively reconstructing the instantaneous flow velocity field inside the molten pool .

This step constructs a nonlinear coupling model to calculate the electromagnetic stirring force together with the molten pool velocity field and temperature field to form an adaptive electromagnetic force optimization strategy. Compared with the traditional fixed parameter adjustment method, this method can dynamically correct the electromagnetic effect, improve the stirring efficiency, reduce the flow field inhomogeneity, thereby optimizing the molten pool morphology and reducing the segregation of alloy components.

[0026] S5.

It is used to evaluate whether the arc scanning mode meets the stability conditions of the molten pool surface, that is, when the residual of this equation is minimized, the surface perturbation of the molten pool is minimized and the surface morphology is the most stable; The residual of the coupled equation for molten pool stability is: ; : the residual of the equilibrium equation at point ; The residual functional of this correction equation is: ; When the residual is minimized, the optimized electromagnetic stirring force field should satisfy: .

[0027] Based on this equation, adjust the arc scanning speed and path : ; where is the adjustment coefficient to make the arc scanning path adapt to the flow characteristics of the molten pool; This formula is the dynamic update model of the arc scanning path, and its function is to generate real-time scanning path corrections in the non-equilibrium region.

[0028] S6. Perform real-time control of arc scanning based on dynamic flow feedback; Introduce a real-time control method based on dynamic flow feedback to continuously adjust the arc scanning path to compensate for the melting instability caused by uneven flow; Establish a dynamic flow feedback model ; where, reflects the current overall stability deviation of the molten pool; is the calculation area of the molten pool; When , it indicates that the interaction among the temperature gradient, flow velocity field, and electromagnetic force inside the molten pool has not reached equilibrium, and the arc scanning path needs to be adjusted in real time; Calculate the arc scanning correction amount To compensate for the deviation caused by , define the arc scanning correction amount : ; Among them, is the feedback control coefficient, used to adjust the correction intensity; is the integral variable at the historical moment, ; At the historical moment The measured deviation of the molten pool stability; This formula accumulates the feedback error through integration, gradually corrects the arc path, and realizes the control of the molten pool stability; Calculate the final arc scanning path ; Among them, is the optimized arc scanning path in step S5; is the dynamic feedback correction amount; The model in the real-time control method includes: Input the arc scanning path of step S5 into the formula ; Calculate the deviation of the molten pool stability To judge whether there is uneven smelting; Calculate the correction amount , and superimpose it on the original path to form the final arc scanning path ; Continuously calculate during the smelting process , dynamically adjust to ensure the stability of the molten pool shape; Most of the existing VAR arc scanning methods are preset paths, which cannot respond to the changes in the molten pool flow in real time, resulting in local overheating or uneven flow. This step proposes a real-time control method for arc scanning based on the feedback of the molten pool flow. By calculating the deviation of the molten pool stability and making dynamic corrections, the arc path can adapt to the changes in the molten pool state. Compared with the fixed scanning path, this method can adjust the arc movement according to the molten pool flow, improve the smelting stability, reduce local defects, and improve the tissue uniformity of titanium alloy.
