This invention discloses an
Invar alloy slab and its preparation method, belonging to the field of
alloy preparation technology. It solves the problems of existing
Invar alloy slabs having numerous inclusions, significant segregation, and being prone to
cracking, overheating, coarse grains, and poor uniformity during
forging. The method includes: preparing an
Invar alloy consumable
ingot; the
mass percentage of O in the consumable
ingot is less than 0.0007%, the
mass percentage of N is less than 0.0004%, and the consumable
ingot is free of general segregation, ingot shape segregation, and general
porosity defects; homogenizing the consumable ingot with a multi-stage heating and holding process; and
forging the slab after homogenization annealing to obtain a final
forging temperature ≥900℃. The preparation method of this invention ensures that the forging process does not crack or overheat, and the prepared
Invar alloy slab has fine and uniform grains.
