Abstract
Performance of scientific-technical researches at the E. O. Paton Electric Welding Institute of the NAS of Ukraine have been directed on development of technology for manufacture of titanium aluminide –based alloys using the method of electron-beam melting (EBM). The mathematical models of heat state and evaporation of alloying elements in EBM were developed. The results of calculations of heat state using the mathematical model allowed determining a dependence of depth of liquid pool on different melting rates. The mathematical models of processes of evaporation in EBM of titanium aluminide ingots were used for plotting the nomograms, which help to determine the necessary content of alloying element of the alloy in the initial charge for acquiring the necessary concentration of this element in ingot at set technological parameters of melting. In scopes of designed mathematical models there were investigated different technological modes of electron-beam melting of ingots based on titanium aluminide. The optimum EBM modes, at which a solidification front approaches to flat, were determined. At that, more uniform distribution of the additives on ingot section and volume is provided as well as level of stressed state is reduced. The works were carried out on manufacture of titanium aluminide based-ingots with addition of refractory as well as volatile alloying elements. Composition and structure of produced ingots were examined. It is shown that electron-beam melting allows getting chemically homogeneous ingots based on titanium aluminide and is a perspective method for production of such class materials.
Highlights
Development of aircraft and automotive industry, power and chemical machine building promotes the rise of requirements to metallic materials allowing achievement of part working characteristics
A new method of production of TiAl system intermetallics is electron beam melting (EBM), which has a series of indisputable advantages, namely possibility of charge remelting in any form; division of process of charge melting and solidification of ingot; high density of input energy; easy control and regulation of technological parameters [8]
This mathematical model allows obtaining distribution of temperatures in ingot at any moment of time, and, respectively, configuration of liquid pool and zone of liquid-solid state of metal depending on technological parameters of electron beam melting, i.e. process efficiency, periodicity of melt pouring into mould and power of electron beam heating
