Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of smelting and casting of rare earth iron-based alloy.
Background
Because rare earth elements are easy to oxidize, the rare earth-containing iron-based alloy is usually smelted by vacuum induction in a vacuum oxygen-free or argon-protected environment to inhibit the oxidation of the rare earth elements in the smelting process. Because the melting point of the rare earth element is lower than that of other raw materials such as pure iron and the like, the rare earth raw materials are melted firstly, and the raw materials with high melting points such as iron and the like are melted later. Rare earth is easy to volatilize in a vacuum environment, so that the rare earth is uncontrollably lost in the smelting process. Meanwhile, rare earth is easy to react with the crucible, the smelting time is too long, the crucible is corroded, the service life of the crucible is shortened, slagging is serious, the cleaning difficulty is increased, and the impurity content is increased.
In addition, the heating efficiency of induction melting is positively correlated with the cross-sectional area of the metal solid or the molten metal, and the larger the cross-sectional area is, the higher the heating efficiency is. However, in actual production, in order to weigh and mix materials conveniently, metal raw materials are mostly cut into particles or short bars, the cross-sectional area is small, the cold heating efficiency is low, the heating time is long, and particularly when high-melting-point metals such as iron and the like are high in proportion, the volatilization amount of the rare earth which is firstly melted is continuously increased along with the extension of the heating time. Therefore, the mode of directly heating and melting all raw materials simultaneously wastes rare earth resources, has high energy consumption, hinders the improvement of production efficiency, causes the performance fluctuation among batches due to the fluctuation of components, and is not beneficial to manufacturing the rare earth iron-based alloy with high performance and high stability.
In order to solve the problems, patent application nos. 2013100392465 and the like adopt a secondary feeding mode, namely, high-melting-point metals such as iron are firstly melted, and low-melting-point metals such as rare earth are then melted. However, the secondary feeding process is likely to cause molten liquid splashing, and at the same time, in the initial stage of smelting, especially in the case of solid pure iron rods or particles, the induction heating efficiency is still low, the heating time is long, and the energy consumption is serious. The patent application number 2020115817839 uses a built-in secondary feeding method, which avoids splashing of the melt, but the problem of the prior melting and volatilization of the rare earth elements is still difficult to avoid, and the energy consumption is still not solved.
Generally, rare earth-free ferroalloys are generally smelted in air, as long as dross is removed prior to casting, as in 2011101243191. If the air smelting mode of the rare-earth-free iron alloy is applied to the preparation of the rare-earth-free iron-based alloy, the generation cost is greatly reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for rapidly smelting and casting a rare earth-containing iron-based alloy, which not only improves the heating efficiency, but also prevents the rare earth from volatilizing in vacuum.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
a method for rapid melting of a rare earth-containing iron-based alloy, the method comprising the steps of:
(1) Smelting pure iron separately to obtain pure iron melt, and then transferring the pure iron melt through a tundish:
(2) Taking raw materials except pure iron according to a ratio, placing the raw materials into a crucible of a vacuum induction furnace, introducing argon into the crucible, placing a crucible cover on the top of the crucible, wherein the crucible cover is provided with a through hole, a funnel is arranged to penetrate through the through hole, and an outlet of the funnel is arranged at the lower part of a crucible cavity; the funnel inlet is positioned above the crucible cover;
(3) Pouring the pure iron melt in the tundish into a funnel according to the formula weight, and allowing the pure iron melt to flow into a crucible; covering the raw materials except the pure iron in the crucible with the molten pure iron;
(4) And removing the crucible cover and the funnel, closing the furnace cover of the vacuum induction furnace, vacuumizing, filling argon, and heating for induction melting and refining.
In the rare earth-containing iron-based alloy, the mass fraction of iron is usually 60% or more, and the rare earth includes one or more of lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), yttrium (Y), and scandium (Sc).
In the step (4), it is preferable to evacuate the reaction vessel to an absolute pressure of 1Pa or less and to fill argon gas to 500 to 5000Pa.
Various rare earth-containing iron-based alloys are suitable for the rapid smelting method, and common rare earth-containing iron-based alloys comprise neodymium-iron-boron magnets, samarium-cobalt-iron-copper-zirconium alloy materials and the like.
For samarium cobalt iron copper zirconium alloy materials, raw materials of iron and cobalt can be smelted in advance to obtain pure iron melt and pure cobalt melt, the raw materials except the iron and the cobalt are prepared and put into a crucible of a vacuum induction furnace, and then the operation is carried out according to the method of the invention.
Further, in the step (1), the pure iron melt is transported through the tundish, and the pure iron melt can be transported through the tundish by using a travelling crane with a weighing function, which is a conventional operation in steel smelting.
In the step (2), the funnel is a heat-resistant funnel, and a funnel made of a heat-resistant material commonly used in steel smelting is adopted, and the funnel is generally made of materials similar to a crucible, such as alumina and zirconia.
In the step (3), the pure iron melt is injected into the funnel cover through the tundish and flows into the crucible, the whole cross section of the crucible is filled with metal due to the liquid fluidity of the pure iron melt in the crucible, so that the cross section of the metal in the crucible is ensured, and the heating efficiency is high. Meanwhile, the pure iron melt has heat, and other metal materials can be preheated, so that the heating time is shortened. The rare earth material is protected due to short heating time, the time of the rare earth material participating in heating and melting is short, and volatilization can be reduced.
In the step (4), vacuum pumping is performed before heating, and since the pure iron melt covers other raw materials and the liquid has a liquid sealing effect, the rare earth melting stock with a low melting point is protected from being easily volatilized and oxidized during vacuum pumping.
The invention also provides a rapid smelting and casting method of the rare earth-containing iron-based alloy, which comprises the following steps:
(1) Smelting pure iron separately to obtain pure iron melt, and then transferring the pure iron melt through a tundish:
(2) Taking raw materials except pure iron according to a ratio, placing the raw materials into a crucible of a vacuum induction furnace, introducing argon into the crucible, placing a crucible cover on the top of the crucible, wherein the crucible cover is provided with a through hole, a funnel is arranged to penetrate through the through hole, and an outlet of the funnel is arranged at the lower part of a crucible cavity; the funnel inlet is positioned above the crucible cover;
(3) Pouring the pure iron melt in the tundish into a funnel according to the weight of the formula, and allowing the pure iron melt to flow into a crucible; covering the raw materials except the pure iron in the crucible with the molten pure iron;
(4) Removing the crucible cover and the funnel, closing the furnace cover of the vacuum induction furnace, vacuumizing, filling argon, and heating for induction melting and refining;
(5) And adjusting the temperature of the molten liquid to a preset value, and casting.
The invention also provides equipment for quickly smelting and casting the rare earth-containing iron-based alloy, which comprises a pure iron smelting furnace, a tundish, a vacuum induction furnace, a crucible placed in the vacuum induction furnace, and a crucible cover for sealing the crucible, wherein the crucible cover is provided with a through hole, a funnel penetrates through the through hole, and an outlet of the funnel is arranged at the lower part of a crucible cavity; the funnel inlet is located above the crucible cover.
The pure iron smelting furnace is used for smelting pure iron melt; transferring the pure iron melt to a vacuum induction furnace by the tundish; and placing raw materials except pure iron in the vacuum induction furnace.
1 pure iron smelting furnace can be transported with a plurality of tundishes, corresponds a plurality of vacuum induction furnace operations, can smelt the iron-based alloy of multiple different compositions simultaneously.
The change adjustment of other components in the alloy does not affect the use of the pure iron melt, and the adjustment of other components can be completed through the feeding of the vacuum induction furnace. The pure iron hardly volatilizes after long-time smelting.
And (3) performing vacuum melting operation on the rare earth iron-based alloy. The same pure iron melt can be used for fine adjustment of the mixture ratio of other components. The pure iron hardly volatilizes after being smelted for a long time. And the Fe content in the iron-based alloy is large, and even if the pure iron melt is weakly oxidized and has little influence on the total components, the performance stability is maintained.
And the pure iron smelting is completed in a pure iron smelting furnace, and as for the steel smelting, a liquid state and heated smelting furnace is kept all the time, so that the pure iron smelting efficiency is high, and the energy consumption is low.

Comparative example 1
The other steps are the same as example 1 except that step (1) is different
In the step (1), pure iron metal and other raw materials are placed into a crucible of an induction furnace together according to the formula amount, the crucible is vacuumized below 1Pa, argon is filled to 0.05MPa, power is applied, the power is gradually increased according to the temperature and the melting condition of the raw materials, smelting is carried out at 1500 ℃, the temperature is reduced to 1400 ℃ by adjusting the power, and the molten raw material liquid is poured onto a rotating cooling copper roller to obtain an alloy sheet with the thickness of 0.3 mm. The total time of melting was 32 minutes.
The subsequent steps (2) to (5) were the same as in example 1.
The magnetic properties were measured using a permanent magnet meter NIM62000, the composition was measured using ICP, and the properties and composition of the magnets of example 1 and comparative example 1 are shown in table 2:
table 2 magnet properties and ingredients (mass fraction,%)
It can be seen from the experimental results that the rare earth content and the design content of example 1 are substantially the same and relatively stable, and thus the magnet properties are stable and excellent. While the rare earth in comparative example 1 volatilizes 0.5wt%, resulting in a decrease in coercive force. Meanwhile, the vacuum melting time of the embodiment 1 is greatly reduced, the working efficiency is improved, and more raw material liquid can be melted in the same time. One pure iron smelting furnace can serve a plurality of rare earth alloy vacuum smelting operations, and the effect of improving the production efficiency is more obvious.
