技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及金属冶炼技术领域,具体涉及一种非真空下引连铸铜铁合金扁锭的生产工艺。The invention relates to the technical field of metal smelting, in particular to a production process for continuous casting of copper-iron alloy slabs under non-vacuum.
背景技术Background technique
随着高强高导铜铁合金被广泛应用于各行各业,对此类高强高导铜铁合金的使用性能及制造成本提出更高的要求。铜铁合金因其同时具有铜的导电性、热传导性、延展性、弹性等性质和铁的耐磨性、强度、硬度、磁性等性质,表现出独有的且优越的特点,如电磁波屏蔽性、弹性、导电性、放热性、耐磨性、抗菌性等,并且铜铁合金可以被加工成棒材、电缆、板材、薄膜、粉末、管状等多种物理形态,并且可以应用于各种产业领域,拥有无法超越的竞争力和市场前景。As high-strength and high-conductivity copper-iron alloys are widely used in various industries, higher requirements are put forward for the performance and manufacturing cost of such high-strength and high-conductivity copper-iron alloys. Copper-iron alloy exhibits unique and superior characteristics, such as electromagnetic wave shielding, due to its properties such as copper’s electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility, and elasticity, and iron’s wear resistance, strength, hardness, and magnetic properties. Elasticity, conductivity, heat dissipation, wear resistance, antibacterial properties, etc., and copper-iron alloys can be processed into various physical forms such as rods, cables, plates, films, powders, tubes, etc., and can be used in various industrial fields , With unsurpassed competitiveness and market prospects.
但是从铜铁相图来看,室温时两者几乎完全不互溶,300℃时溶解度仍然为零,在1094℃时溶解度也只有5%左右,Fe在Cu中极低的溶解度,导致该合金在凝固过程中极易形成偏析严重的组织,严重影响了CuFe合金的应用,而快速凝固可以细化晶粒,增加固溶度,并且是抑制或者减轻CuFe合金在凝固过程中形成偏析组织的有效途径,因此快速凝固行为研究越来越受到人们的关注。However, from the perspective of the copper-iron phase diagram, the two are almost completely immiscible at room temperature. The solubility at 300°C is still zero, and the solubility at 1094°C is only about 5%. The extremely low solubility of Fe in Cu causes the alloy to It is easy to form a structure with severe segregation during the solidification process, which seriously affects the application of CuFe alloys. Rapid solidification can refine grains, increase solid solubility, and is an effective way to inhibit or reduce the formation of segregated structures in CuFe alloys during solidification. Therefore, the rapid solidification behavior research has attracted more and more attention.
目前国内外生产CuFe合金的方法有以下几种:At present, there are several methods for producing CuFe alloy at home and abroad:
真空电弧熔炼法:将一定比例的铜块与铁块放入真空感应炉内进行熔化,待完全溶化后浇入模具内,通常将感应熔炼法和形变时效结合在一起来提高 铜铁合金的性能,但是这种普通的感应熔炼法很容易造成偏析;Vacuum arc smelting method: Put a certain proportion of copper and iron blocks into a vacuum induction furnace to melt them, and then pour them into a mold after they are completely melted. Usually induction melting and deformation aging are combined to improve the performance of copper-iron alloys. But this ordinary induction melting method is easy to cause segregation;
形变原位复合法:CuFe原位复合材料的原始组织一般为Cu基体上均匀分布着树枝状(熔炼法)或者颗粒状(粉末冶金法)的Fe相,经大量形变后Fe相变为纤维状。为了更好的提高CuFe合金的综合性能,常采用形变时效方法,在变形中间添加几步热处理,目前还处理研究阶段;Deformation in-situ composite method: The original structure of CuFe in-situ composites is generally uniformly distributed on the Cu matrix with dendritic (smelting method) or granular (powder metallurgy) Fe phase. After a large amount of deformation, the Fe phase becomes fibrous . In order to better improve the overall performance of the CuFe alloy, the deformation aging method is often used, and several heat treatments are added in the middle of the deformation. Currently, it is still in the research stage;
机械合金化法:将一定比例的Cu粉和Fe粉在高能球磨机中长时间研磨,使金属粉末在频繁的碰撞过程中,其组织结构不断细化,最终达到原子级混合而实现合金化的目的,但是这种方法在球磨过程中易代入杂质元素,成本较高。Mechanical alloying method: Grind a certain proportion of Cu powder and Fe powder in a high-energy ball mill for a long time, so that the metal powder will continue to refine its structure during frequent collisions, and finally achieve atomic-level mixing to achieve the purpose of alloying However, this method is easy to substitute impurity elements in the ball milling process, and the cost is high.
综上所述,当前市场上仍需要一种低成本、操作简单的制备工艺,能够工业化生产高质量的铜铁合金扁锭。In summary, there is still a need for a low-cost, simple-to-operate preparation process in the current market that can industrially produce high-quality copper-iron alloy slabs.

S3:熔炼,将熔炼炉温度加热至1420~1450℃,使铜铁母合金熔化;升温进行熔化,在升温熔化过程中,要在炉口进行气体保护;S3: Smelting, heating the smelting furnace temperature to 1420~1450℃ to melt the copper-iron master alloy; heating for melting, during the heating and melting process, gas protection should be performed at the furnace mouth;
S4:精炼除气,通入氩气进行除气,并利用脱氧剂进行脱氧;S4: Refining and degassing, introducing argon gas for degassing, and deoxidizing with deoxidizer;
S5:浇铸,当温度达到1300-1450℃时开始浇铸;浇铸温度过高,则铸 锭内度梯度大,热应力增大,裂纹倾向增大,同时液穴壁变薄,容易产生宽面裂纹;温度过低则熔体粘度大,流动性降低,易产生冷隔、夹渣等缺陷;S5: Casting, start casting when the temperature reaches 1300-1450°C; if the casting temperature is too high, the ingot internal degree gradient will be large, the thermal stress will increase, and the crack tendency will increase. At the same time, the liquid cavity wall will become thinner and wide-surface cracks will easily occur. ; If the temperature is too low, the melt viscosity will be high, the fluidity will decrease, and defects such as cold barrier and slag inclusion will easily occur;

S6:铸造,当熔体流入方结晶器的85%时,开启电磁搅拌,具体参数如下:频率10Hz,电流100A,将铸造速度从低至高缓慢调节至80mm/min,机械振动30次/分钟;铸造速度决定液穴深度,是铸造过程中的关键参数,对于扁铸锭,铸造速度过高,宽面液穴壁变薄,使原本就处于拉应力状态的宽面表层拉应力增加,易引发裂纹;铸造速度过低,则可能导致侧面裂纹,或在窄面产生冷隔等缺陷;S6: Casting, when the melt flows into 85% of the square crystallizer, turn on electromagnetic stirring, the specific parameters are as follows: frequency 10Hz, current 100A, slowly adjust the casting speed from low to high to 80mm/min, mechanical vibration 30 times/min; The casting speed determines the depth of the liquid cavity, which is a key parameter in the casting process. For flat ingots, the casting speed is too high, and the wall of the wide surface liquid cavity becomes thinner, which increases the tensile stress of the surface layer of the wide surface which is originally in a tensile stress state, which is easy to cause Cracks; if the casting speed is too low, it may cause side cracks or defects such as cold partitions on the narrow surface;
S7:铸锭冷却,采用结晶器水冷,同时对凝固后拔出的铸锭以一定角度喷水,进行二次冷却。结晶器水冷的优点是内部可实现“热顶铸造”,降低上端熔体凝固速率,保证及时补缩,同时有利于熔渣和气体的上浮除去。所述铸造前将冷却水流量逐渐增加至8.0m3/h,水流量过高,冷却程度过大,易引发应力集中,形成冷隔,导致裂纹;水流量过低,铸锭冷却速率过慢,可能造成组织粗大、性能下降,或造成其他缺陷。当熔炼炉坩埚内熔体量减少为原来的10%以下时,缓慢降低下引速度直至停止。待铸锭完全凝固后,关闭冷却水。S7: The ingot is cooled by water cooling in the crystallizer. At the same time, the ingot drawn out after solidification is sprayed with water at a certain angle for secondary cooling. The advantage of water cooling of the crystallizer is that it can realize "hot top casting" inside, which reduces the solidification rate of the upper melt, ensures timely feeding, and at the same time facilitates the floating and removal of slag and gas. The cooling water flow rate is gradually increased to 8.0m3/h before the casting. If the water flow rate is too high, the cooling degree is too large, which is easy to cause stress concentration, forming a cold barrier and causing cracks; if the water flow rate is too low, the cooling rate of the ingot is too slow. May cause coarse organization, performance degradation, or other defects. When the amount of melt in the crucible of the smelting furnace is reduced to less than 10% of the original value, slowly reduce the drawing speed until it stops. After the ingot is completely solidified, turn off the cooling water.
