Through this innovative device design, the energy utilization efficiency is significantly improved, the sponge titanium is effectively dried, and the dual purposes of energy saving and cost reduction are achieved. In addition, this integrated heat energy utilization method also provides a new idea for resource optimization in the production process of titanium alloy, and has high popularization value and application prospect.

[0028] It needs to be further explained that, as Figures 2-3 shown, the sponge titanium to be dried is evenly placed in the annular step 6 area of the mold body 1. First, the annular step 6 can ensure the stable placement of the sponge titanium, second, the annular step 6 can be in full contact with the first side wall 4 for subsequent uniform heat transfer, and third, the air enters from the air inlet 7, the annular step 6 forms a wind guide, which is more convenient for the vapor evaporation of the sponge titanium.

[0029] Further, as Figure 4 shown, the mold body 1 is provided with an upper cover 8, and the upper cover 8 is provided with a plurality of first ventilation holes.

[0030] Further, the upper cover 8 is hinged to the upper end surface of the second side wall 5.

[0031] In the present embodiment: the upper cover 8 and the upper end surface of the second side wall 5 can realize the sealing function.

[0032] Further, a connecting bolt is arranged between the upper cover 8 and the second side wall 5.

[0033] In this embodiment: after placing the titanium sponge, the upper cover 8 is connected with the mold body 1 through the connecting bolt to realize the sealing function. The design of the connecting bolt ensures the close connection between the upper cover and the second side wall 5 of the mold body, preventing heat loss and external air from entering.

[0034] Further, the bottom of the second side wall 5 of the mold body 1 is provided with an air inlet 7.

[0048] Step 4: Place titanium alloy ingot

[0049] Slowly place the high-temperature titanium alloy ingot from the ingot placement position into the first cavity 2 of the body mold. Since the ingot has a high temperature after smelting, the heat released by it will be conducted through the first side wall 4 to the titanium sponge in the interlayer 3, thereby achieving the drying effect.
