Description
P790/NLpd METHOD FOR PREPARING HIGH-ENTROPY ALLOY
TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the field of high-entropy alloys, and more particularly to a method for preparing a high- entropy alloy.
BACKGROUND ART Traditional alloy mainly comprises one or two elements as main components, and the mechanical property of the alloy is im- proved by adding a small amount of other elements. High-entropy alloy generally comprises multiple main elements, and the atomic percent of each component is 5-35%. The high-entropy alloy is sim- ple in structure due to high mixed entropy effect, so that the high-entropy alloy has multiple unique characteristics compared with the traditional alloy. Molybdenum-tungsten-tantalum-titanium- zirconium high-entropy alloys have wide application prospects in multiple fields such as aerospace, military and industry and has great development potential due to its good mechanical property, high strength, fatigue resistance, good conductivity, high temper- ature resistance, etc. Therefore, selecting a reasonable prepara- tion method of a high-entropy alloy material is of great signifi- cance to the material application, and particularly to the prepa- ration of large-size cast ingots with uniform structures.
At present, the high-entropy alloy material is often prepared by adopting powder metallurgy technology and energy beam melting technologies such as electron beams and electric arcs in China.
When the high-entropy alloy is prepared by adopting the powder metallurgy technology, due to the process limitation, the prepared material is low in structure uniformity and high in impurity con- tent and easily has obvious defects. The energy beam melting tech- nologies used for preparing the high-entropy alloy are often used for preparing small and medium-sized cast ingots, which are diffi- cult to achieve high uniformity. Therefore, a better preparation method is needed at present, which can not only fully melt the high melting point components of the high-entropy alloy, but also prepare a large-size ingot with uniform structure.
SUMMARY Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the present disclo- sure provides a method for preparing a high-entropy alloy, to sovle the problems of high impurity content, large coarse grain, non-uniform structure of high-entropy alloys during the prepara- tion. The molybdenum-tungsten-tantalum-titanium-zirconium high- entropy alloy prepared by the method is uniform in structure and excellent in mechanical property.
In order to achieve the object, the present disclosure pro- vides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a high-entropy alloy, comprising the following steps: Step 1, preparing materials: removing oxide skin layers of a molybdenum sheet, a tantalum sheet, a titanium sheet and a zirco- nium sheet, and cleaning by using an ultrasonic cleaning machine; and uniformly mixing tungsten powder with a size of 100-300 meshes and a pure tantalum sheet, and uniformly mixing a pure titanium sheet and a pure zirconium sheet, wherein the atom molar ratio of the raw materials is that Mo: W: Ta: Ti: Zr = 1: 1: 1: 1: 1.
Step 2, vacuumizing a vacuum suspension smelting furnace: vacuumizing until the low vacuum is to 100-110 Pa, and vacuumizing until the high vacuum is below 1x10" Pa.
Step 3, filling protective gas into the vacuum suspension smelting furnace: filling high-purity argon into the vacuum sus- pension smelting furnace to 450-750 Pa.
Step 4, gradually reducing power and smelting raw materials in batches: firstly, increasing the heating power to 120-130 kW and maintaining for 2-3 minutes; secondly, increasing the heating power to 210-220 kW and maintaining for 2-3 minutes; thirdly, in- creasing the heating power to 300-310 kW and maintaining for 2-3 minutes; finally, increasing the heating power to 350 kW; and keeping the power unchanged, continuously heating to fully melt the pure tungsten powder and the pure tantalum sheet, maintaining the temperature at 3,050-3,250 °C and heating for 5-10 minutes.
Reducing the heating power to 280-300 kW, gradually adding the pure molybdenum sheet into the melt through a feeder, fully melting, maintaining the temperature at 2,650-3,000 °C and heating for 3-5 minutes.
Reducing the heating power to 180-210 kW, gradually adding the zirconium sheet and the titanium sheet into the melt through the feeder, continuously heating to fully melt the uniform mixture of the zirconium sheet and the titanium sheet, maintaining the temperature at 1,600-1,850 °C and heating for 3-5 minutes.
Step 5, refining the alloy: increasing the heating power to 280-300 kW and continuously heating for 8-10 minutes.
Step 6, cooling the alloy: gradually reducing the power of the power supply by taking every 40-60 kW as a step, cooling to below 60 °C along with the furnace to obtain an ingot. And Step 7, repeatedly smelting the alloy ingot: in order to ob- tain an alloy ingot with uniform structure and high purity, heat- ing and smelting the cast ingot again; firstly, increasing the heating power to 75-85 kW and maintaining for 1-2 minutes; second- ly, increasing the heating power to 130-150 kW and maintaining for 1-2 minutes; finally, increasing the heating power to 170-210 kW, maintaining the temperature at 1500-1850 °C and heating for 10-15 minutes; cooling the alloy to obtain the alloy ingot again; and repeatedly smelting for more than 3 times to obtain a molybdenum- tungsten-tantalum-titanium-zirconium high-entropy alloy with uni- form structure.
Further, the molybdenum sheet, the tungsten powder, the tan- talum sheet, the titanium sheet and the zirconium sheet in the step 1 have a purity higher than 99.99%wt%.
Compared with the prior art, the method has the following re- markable advantages: (1) The molybdenum-tungsten-tantalum-titanium-zirconium high-entropy alloy prepared through the method is uniform in structure and can achieve uniformity of the submicron scale and even the nanoscale.
