摘要:
A continuous casting method in which a molten metal obtained by melting titanium or a titanium alloy is injected into a bottomless mold having a rectangular cross-section and withdrawn downward while being caused to solidify, wherein a plasma torch (7) is caused to rotate in the horizontal direction above the surface of the molten metal (12) in the mold (2), and a horizontally rotating flow is generated by electromagnetic stirring on at least the surface of the molten metal (12) in the mold (2). It is thereby possible to cast a slab in which the casting surface condition is excellent.
摘要:
A Ti-Al alloy having an Al content of at least 40% by mass, said alloy being produced using an alloy material comprising a titanium material and an aluminum material and having a total oxygen content of at least 0.1 % by mass, is melted and held in an atmosphere of at least 1.33 Pa according to a melting process incorporating a water-cooled copper vessel, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the Ti-Al based alloy.

By controlling the temperature (Ts) of a surface portion (11a) of an ingot (11) in a contact region (16) between a mold (2) and the ingot (11) and/or a passing heat flux (q) from the surface portion (11a) of the ingot (11) to the mold (2) in the contact region (16), the thickness (D) in the contact region (16) of a solidified shell (13) obtained by the solidification of molten metal (12) is brought into a predetermined range. Consequently, an ingot having a good casting surface state can be cast.

The objective of the present invention is to improve non-defective product yield by reducing shrinkage cavities inside small-diameter ingots, in a method for casting active metals. In this Ti-Al based alloy casting method for casting an ingot of Ti-Al based alloy by tapping molten metal from a tapping hole (5) provided in a bottom portion of a water-cooled copper crucible (2), in an induction melting furnace (3) employing said crucible (2), into a casting mold (4), the degree of vacuum inside the induction melting furnace (3) when the Ti-Al based alloy is being melted or cast is in a range of 80 to 700 Torr, and the Al concentration in the cast ingot is within ±1.0 mass% of a target value.
摘要:
This method for purifying a titanium material is a deoxidization method for removing oxygen contained in a titanium material from the titanium material that is formed from pure titanium, a titanium alloy or an intermetallic compound that contains titanium as one of the main components. This method for purifying a titanium material comprises: a first melting step wherein hydrogen is introduced into the titanium material in a molten state by melting the titanium material in a rare gas atmosphere containing 5-70% by volume of hydrogen; and a second melting step wherein oxygen contained in the titanium material is removed together with hydrogen from the titanium material in a molten state by melting the titanium material, into which hydrogen has been introduced during the first melting step, in a rare gas atmosphere. The first melting step and the second melting step are carried out one or more times, respectively.
摘要:
The present invention is provided with: a primary ingot production step in which 3-20 mass% of a CaO-CaF2 flux obtained by mixing 35-95 mass% of calcium fluoride with calcium oxide, is added to a Ti-Al alloy material including a total of at least 0.1 mass% of oxygen, and at least 40 mass% of Al, and the resultant substance is melted by way of a melting method using a water-cooled copper container in an atmosphere having a pressure of 1.33 Pa or higher, and held, to produce a primary ingot; a secondary ingot production step in which the primary ingot is continuously drawn downwards while being melted by way of a melting method using a bottomless water-cooled copper casting mould in an atmosphere having a pressure of 1.33 Pa or higher, to obtain a secondary ingot Y; and a flux layer removal step in which a flux layer deposited on the surface of the secondary ingot Y is mechanically removed.
