The invention belongs to the technical field of electroslag remelting and relates to an improvement of a process for industrially producing
Inconel 690 (I-690)
alloy electroslag remelting ingots, in particular to a process for industrially producing an ultrapure low-segregation I-690
alloy electroslag remelting
ingot of 3 tons. An
electrode bar smelted by a
vacuum induction furnace is phi430mm in dimension, and a crystallizer is phi503 / phi527mm*2400mm in dimension. Remelting process parameters are shown as follows: according to the requirements of I-690
alloy components, a five-component premelting
slag system with a new proportion is adopted by the remelting, wherein the five-component premelting
slag system comprises the five components:
calcium fluoride,
calcium oxide, aluminum
oxide,
magnesium oxide and
titanium dioxide, and the total content of unstable oxide impurities, such as
manganese oxide,
ferrous oxide and
silicon oxide, is less than 0.5 percent. Before the remelting is performed, an
electrode is used after being baked at 700 DEG C for 8 hours, a
slag charge is used after being baked at 680 DEG C for 8 hours, and
argon shield is adopted during a remelting process. According to the process, the
oxygen content of I-690 alloy after the remelting is performed can be reduced to 20 parts per million (ppm) or below, and thus, the goal of no
oxygenation or less
oxygenation is achieved after the remelting is performed. Moreover,
sulfur content is reduced to 5ppm or below; the oxide inclusion grade is lower than 1, and the alloy after the remelting is performed is even in structure component, and therefore, the high-quality remelting alloy is obtained.
