摘要: 电子束冷床熔炼炉熔炼钛扁锭结束后,由于出锭温度过高,造成扁锭长度方向弯曲变形,因此采取真空缓慢冷却来防止变形的发生,时间往往长达8小时,出锭最高温度在100℃左右。经过ProCAST有限元软件分析及实际生产验证,确认真空冷却3小时出锭,最高温度约为200℃,从200℃到100℃真空状态下冷却速率为22.5℃/h,在大气状态下冷却速率为25.7℃/h,冷却速率相差不大,对铸锭平直度影响轻微。缩短真空冷却时间之后,大幅提高了生产效率。Abstract: When Ti slab smelting by electron beam cold hearth melting furnace is finished, the high temperature will bring the Ti slab bending deflection length direction. To avoid the deformation, the vacuum cooling time shall last 8 hours, and the maximum temperature is about 100℃. PROCAST FEM software and proved by practice practical production prove the maximum temperature of slab is about 200℃ after cooling 3 hours. when the temperature decreases from 200℃ to 100℃, the vacuum cooling rate is 22. 5℃/h, and the air cooling rate is 25. 7℃/h. The cooling rates in both conditions are almost same. As a conclusion, 3 hours of cooling time has a minimal influence on the deformation, while the production efficiency has been improved obviously.
