AI Technical Summary
Existing vacuum melting processes for copper-chromium-zirconium alloys are inefficient and energy-intensive, making large-scale continuous production impossible. Furthermore, the resulting ingots are prone to defects such as compositional segregation and porous structure. During non-vacuum continuous casting, Cr and Zr elements are easily oxidized, leading to surface defects.
The non-vacuum upward continuous casting production process adopts a graphite mold with embedded ceramic tubes. Combined with optimized process parameters and protective gas, the embedded ceramic tubes prevent Cr from reacting with the graphite mold, thereby achieving uniform composition. Continuous feeding and optimized process parameters ensure the surface quality of the rod material.
It has enabled continuous and stable production of copper-chromium-zirconium alloy rods, avoiding surface roughness and small crack defects, and ensuring that the rod surface is bright and the composition is uniform.
