Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing an Fe-Ga-In-Tb alloy by double-feeding vacuum induction smelting. According to the method, high-purity Fe, Ga, In and Tb are used as raw materials to prepare the mother alloy of which the target composition is Fe100-(x+y+z)GaxInyTbz. The method comprises the following steps: putting high-purity iron in a quartz crucible without holes in the bottom, and carrying out induction smelting by using a vacuum induction smelting furnace; after the iron is molten, adding In, Tb and Ga by in a double-feeding mode, and continuing applying power for smelting; and taking out, putting in a quartz crucible with a hole in the bottom, resmelting in the vacuum induction smelting furnace, and casting. In the casting process, a lifting accelerator is utilized, so that the alloy solution acquires a certain inertia, and thus, the alloy solution can be completely cast into a high-volume red copper mold to be subjected to forced cooling. The resmelting is repeated 3-4 times, so that the smelted alloy has more uniform composition. The alloy prepared by the method provided by the invention has the advantages of low burning loss, smooth surface, uniform composition and obviously higher casting properties.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing Fe-Ga-In-Tb alloy by a vacuum induction melting method, which belongs to the functional material preparation technology in the field of material processing engineering. Background technique [0002] Giant magnetostrictive material (GMM) refers to a functional material whose length changes greatly under the action of a changing magnetic field. Giant magnetostrictive materials are another important functional material after rare earth permanent magnet materials and rare earth high temperature superconducting materials. It is more than 5 times larger than the electrostrictive strain of piezoelectric ceramics, and it can withstand high pressure and high energy conversion efficiency. Therefore, GMM is regarded as a strategic functional material to improve a country's high-tech comprehensive competitiveness in the 21st century. It has broad applications in the fields of high-power underwater communications, hi...
