Research of smelting process of Ti2AlNb alloy ingot based on MeltFlow-VAR
In the melting process of Ti2AlNb alloy,the uniformity of composition is greatly affected by the sta-ble arc current and cycle,as well as the fluctuation range of melting current.In this paper,MeltFlow VAR simula-tion software is used to effectively simulate the melting process of Ti2AlNb alloy,and appropriate melting process parameters such as melting current,stable arc current,and cycle are formulated for actual production.The results show that the control process is effective,and the Nb element distribution in the produced Ti2AlNb alloy ingot is uniform,with small fluctuations and range in chemical composition.
