This application belongs to the field of metallurgical technology, and particularly relates to a
smelting method for improving the purity of high-temperature alloys. Because
chromium has a strong affinity for
oxygen when the
chromium content in high-
chromium nickel-based high-temperature alloys is high, if
titanium is directly added for alloying,
titanium will preferentially react with
residual oxygen and
nitrogen to form TiO2 and
TiN inclusions, resulting in extremely low
titanium yield and deterioration of purity. The embodiments of this application break through the limitations of traditional single deoxidation
modes. Based on the thermodynamic
coupling reaction characteristics of
oxygen,
nitrogen, and titanium in the high-temperature
alloy smelting process, a multi-stage thermodynamic deoxidation technology
route with synergistic matching of temperature, deoxidizer type, and deoxidation depth is constructed. Through a
sequential combination of carbon pre-deoxidation – strong deoxidizing
metal +
rare earth enhanced deoxidation – low-temperature titanium alloying, a controllable metallurgical transformation from high-
oxygen-content raw materials to ultra-pure high-titanium melt is achieved. This solves the technical contradiction of difficulty in simultaneously achieving purity and precise composition control in high-chromium, high-titanium
nickel-based high-temperature alloys due to the
high activity of titanium and the difficulty in controlling oxygen and
nitrogen.
