Abstract

The invention provides a smelting method for a high-Nb-TiAl based alloy. According to the smelting method, titanium sponge, a niobium-titanium alloy and aluminum shots are used as raw materials and are pressed and welded to form a consumable electrode; the consumable electrode is smelted in a vacuum consumable electric arc furnace to obtain the high-Nb-TiAl based alloy. According to the smelting method, an electrode block is prepared by a manner of combining material mixing and material distribution; the vacuum consumable electric arc furnace is used for carrying out three times of smelting; after the materials are discharged from the furnace, the materials are slowly cooled by adopting a manner of sand burying treatment or annealing treatment so that the high-Nb-TiAl based alloy with uniformly-distributed components and no cracks can be obtained. The smelting method for the high-Nb-TiAl based alloy is simple in method and strong in maneuverability; with the adoption of the method, the high-Nb-TiAl based alloy with the uniformly-distributed components and no segregation or impurities can be produced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-temperature alloys, and in particular relates to a melting method for high-Nb-TiAl-based alloys. Background technique [0002] Titanium-aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight, high specific strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, and has excellent mechanical properties at room temperature and high temperature. It has become an excellent candidate in the fields of contemporary aerospace, weapons and civil industries. As one of the high-temperature structural materials, it has important engineering application potential. [0003] High Nb alloying brings the development of TiAl alloy into a new stage. The yield strength at room temperature can reach 800MPa, and the high temperature strength at 760°C can reach 550MPa. At the same time, the original room temperature tensile elongation is maintained, especially the oxidation resistan...
