4) alloy melting: electric current 18000A��20000A, voltage 40V, starting the arc melting;
5) cast of alloy: after melting alloy raw to required weight, overturns water jacketed copper crucible, is poured into by alloy liquid in the casting mold of plasma spraying special type fire oxide coating.
Titanium alloy consumable electrode skull melting casting technique based on inert atmosphere of the present invention, it is characterized in that: the yittrium oxide powder of prioritizing selection 350 order and the zirconia powder of 350 orders prepare powder, when utilizing plasma spraying equipment that prepared powder is sprayed at mo(U)ld face, preferred 0.1mm��the 0.3mm of coating layer thickness, casting mold can be sand mold, metal mold or graphite mould.
The method have the advantages that:
1. the present invention adopts consumable titanium alloy electrode smelting titanium alloy under inert gas atmosphere, can effectively reduce Volatile Elements volatilization loss in fusion process in alloy liquid, improves alloying component concordance and degree of purity.
2. present invention positive pressure smelting titanium alloy under an inert atmosphere, effectively inhibits the volatilization of alloy liquid and splashes.
3. titanium alloy liquid castable is in the casting mold of plasma spraying special type oxide refractory coating, reduces the extent of reaction of titanium alloy liquid and mo(U)ld face, improves the quality of cast(ing) surface.
4. technique is simple, easy to operate.
Detailed description of the invention
