Temperature field calculation on cold crucible continuous melting and directional solidifying Ti50Al alloys

冷坩埚连续熔化与定向凝固Ti50Al合金的温度场计算(英文)

In order to optimize technological parameters and realize directional solidification,temperature fields of cold crucible continuous melting and directional solidifying Ti50Al（mole fraction,%） at different parameters were calculated.Continuous casting of the model is achieved by distinguishing the moving unit at different positions.The calculation results show that the feeding rod is entirely melted at 200 s,the melt of feeding rod has some superheat degree at 300 s under the conditions of 52 kW and 3.0 mm/min.Both the superheat degree and the molten zone of the feeding rod reduce,the solid-liquid interface becomes concave with increasing velocity from 1.2 mm/min to 6.0 mm/min when the power is 52 kW,and the outside layer of the rod cannot be melted at the velocity of 6.0 mm/min.Both superheat degree and the molten zone of the feeding rod increase,the solid-liquid interface descends and becomes concave with increasing power from 48 to 58 kW at velocity of 3.0 mm/min,and the rod cannot be melted entirely when the power is 48 kW.Cold crucible continuous melting and directional solidification of TiAl alloys will be achieved successfully when the pulling velocity and the power are matched appropriately.

为了优化工艺参数和实现定向凝固,计算不同参数条件下的冷坩埚连续熔化与定向凝固Ti50Al(摩尔分数,%)合金的温度场。模型中的连续铸造通过识别运动单元的不同位置而实现。结果表明,在功率为52kW和抽拉速度为3.0mm/min时,送料棒在200s时可以完全熔化,在300s时具有一定的过热度。当功率为52kW时,随着抽拉速度从1.2mm/min加快到6.0mm/min,送料棒的过热度和熔区都减小,并且固-液界面变凹,其中在6.0mm/min时,送料棒不能被完全熔化。当抽拉速度为3.0mm/min时,随着功率从48kW增加到58kW,固-液界面位置变低且变凹,当功率为48kW时,送料棒不能被完全熔化。当抽拉速度和功率配合恰当时,可以实现冷坩埚连续熔化与定向凝固TiAl合金。
