The invention provides a preparation method of an aluminum-
lithium alloy, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum
alloy smelting. The method comprises the following steps:
smelting pure aluminum, an aluminum-
copper alloy, an aluminum-
manganese alloy, an aluminum-
zirconium alloy, a
magnesium ingot and
silver particles to obtain an initial melt; adding a deslagging agent into the initial melt, and stirring to obtain a purified melt;
argon is introduced into the purified melt for refining, and a refined melt is obtained; and after the refined melt and
lithium are subjected to vacuum melting,
argon is introduced for refining, and the aluminum-
lithium alloy is obtained. The pure aluminum, the intermediate alloy, the
magnesium and the silver are added in batches for
smelting at different temperatures according to the
refractory degree of the intermediate alloy in the
intermediate frequency furnace smelting stage, so that the burning
loss rate of alloy elements can be reduced;
hexachloroethane deslagging and stirring blowing refining can improve the degassing efficiency and control the cost, and the process matching is flexible; lithium is added into the melt in an
argon state, so that the melt is prevented from being in contact with the
atmosphere, the oxidation
hydrogen absorption of the melt is reduced, and the high-purity melt is obtained.
