Casting
The purpose is to manufacture casting components that meet the requirements for a high purity alloy melt and create favorable conditions for casting various shapes.
Several key parameters in the casting process include:
- During the casting process, workers need to continuously add Al-Ti-B wire to refine the grain.
- The temperature generally needs to be set at 1050°C when smelting, with the material’s temperature under constant monitoring, and the metal temperature should be controlled to be less than 770°C.
- At around 735°C, workers need to perform slag operations; this temperature is favorable for the separation of slag from the liquid.
- Generally, two refining processes are required: one using a solid refining agent and the other using a gas refining method.
- After approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour of inert gas purging, workers need to cast in a timely manner; otherwise, re-refining may be necessary.
