The specific embodiment
Embodiment 1
It is as follows that self-overgrowth reaction process is prepared Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er fining agent process:
1. raw material is prepared, and fining agent is by aluminium ingot, aluminium powder, titanium valve, graphite powder, Al-Er intermediate alloy, C 2cl 6prepare with ice crystal coverture.Wherein aluminium ingot purity 99.9%, powder size, Ti powder 325 orders, C powder 300 orders.
2. the fining agent of preparation 1Kg, weighs graphite powder, titanium valve, aluminium powder, Al-Er intermediate alloy, aluminium ingot on request, and aluminium burn out rate is 3%.Require Ti/C=50/3(wt%); The 60%(aluminium powder quality that powder accounts for powder agglomates quality is 78g).
3. titanium valve, aluminium powder, powdered graphite are mixed, the powder mixing is placed in to mould, apply the pressure of 10MPa, be pressed into the cylindricality powder agglomates of φ 40 * 50.
4. ice crystal and C 2cl 6at 100 ℃ of heating 1h, remove moisture.
5. by instrument brushing one coatings such as mould and the spoons of skimming, prevent that Fe impurity element from polluting fining agent.Select graphite crucible to carry out melting, graphite rod stirs, and prevents the pollution of Si.
6. utilize well formula resistance furnace that clean aluminium ingot is heated to 780 ℃, treat that aluminium ingot melts completely, cover one deck ice crystal, prevent the oxidation of aluminium and air-breathing; First Al-Er intermediate alloy is wrapped with aluminium foil, graphite bell jar is pressed into aluminium liquid, and standing 5min treats that intermediate alloy dissolves completely, and Er diffusion evenly; Furnace temperature is risen to 850 ℃ again, graphite bell jar is pressed into aluminum melt by the cylindricality powder agglomates suppressing in advance, and graphite rod uniform stirring makes it that combustion reaction occur, reaction 10min; The C that adds 3%wt 2cl 6carry out refining degasification, standing 5min; With skimming, spoon removes surperficial slag and oxide skin; Treat that temperature reduces to 720 ℃, be poured in 250 ℃ of punching blocks of preheating, obtain Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er modifying-refining agent.The fining agent that this legal system is standby, particle size is little, and is evenly distributed.
Comparative example
Self-overgrowth reaction process is prepared Al-5Ti-0.3C fining agent
Will be by aluminium ingot, aluminium powder, titanium valve, graphite powder by composition requirement proportioning.Powder compaction becomes the cylindricality powder agglomates of φ 40 * 50 on request.
Utilize well formula resistance furnace that clean aluminium ingot is heated to 780 ℃, treat that aluminium ingot melts completely, cover one deck ice crystal, prevent the oxidation of aluminium and air-breathing; Furnace temperature is risen to 850 ℃, and graphite bell jar is pressed into aluminum melt by the cylindricality powder agglomates suppressing in advance, and graphite rod uniform stirring makes it that combustion reaction occur, reaction 10min; The C that adds 3%wt 2cl 6carry out refining degasification, standing 5min; With skimming, spoon removes surperficial slag and oxide skin; Treat that temperature reduces to 720 ℃, be poured in 250 ℃ of punching blocks of preheating, obtain Al-5Ti-0.3C fining agent.
The Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er that Fig. 1 adopts self-overgrowth reaction process to prepare, the metallograph of Al-5Ti-0.3C fining agent.Figure a, b are respectively Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er, Al-5Ti-0.3C metallograph, and in figure, size block particle below 10 μ m is TiAl 3particle; Size is below 0.5 μ m, and the particle distributing is in the form of sheets TiC particle.Add rare earth element and promoted TiC, TiAl 3the formation of particle, TiC particle, TiAl 3number of particles showed increased, and disperse distributes.Rare earth has also obviously improved the pattern of particle, in intermediate alloy prepared by interpolation rare earth, and block TiAl 3it is block that particle becomes substantially, suppressed TiAl 3growing up of particle; Do not add the intermediate alloy of rare earth, its TiAl 3particle is needle-like, has occurred to grow up, and is unfavorable for thinning effect.
Fig. 2 is the SEM figure of the Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er fining agent of embodiment 1 preparation, sees a large amount of blocky particles from figure, the small-particle that sheet distributes, and a kind of contrast is brighter, is AlErTi, Al3Er; A kind of contrast is darker, is TiC.These two kinds of mix particles together, show that rare earth element can be good at suppressing the gathering of TiC particle, make its distribution more even.
Fig. 3 is the thing phase quantitative analysis of the Al-5Ti-0.3C-0.2Er fining agent of embodiment 1 preparation, can find out that fining agent is mainly by α-Al, TiAl 3, the phase composition such as TiC, AlErTi.Literature research shows to add rare earth Er in Al can form Al 3er, owing to having added 0.2% Er in fining agent, and has formed more AlErTi phase, Al 3er content will reduce, and its contrast is mutually basic identical with AlErTi, cannot distinguish.TiC particle size is less, and power spectrum fails well to analyze.Fining agent adds in the alloy of wanting refinement, and AlErTi will decompose, and discharges Er atom, increases the wetability of TiC and Al, makes the difficulty of the motion change of particle, and fining agent is more long-acting.
