Zirconium forged Astm b493 R60702 forged flange
Product
Spongy zirconium is used as raw material in the ingot for the
processing of tube and rod.The spindles used in nuclear power
engineering should be made from zirconium sponge of nuclear grade,
and the content of more than 20 impurity elements such as HF, B, Cd
and U should be strictly limited.Alloying elements may be added in
the form of high purity metals or master alloys.
Spongy zirconium and alloying elements were pressed into rod-like
electrodes and smelted twice in a vacuum consumable electric arc
furnace to obtain the ingot with compact structure and uniform
composition.The sponge zirconium and alloying elements should be
largely evenly mixed before the rod electrode is pressed.The
pressed electrode should be of appropriate density.
The chemical composition of the spindle in all parts of the surface
shall be within the prescribed limits for secondary smelting.In
order to avoid the possibility of the low melting point alloying
element (Sn) flowing ahead in the first smelting, the alloying
element is added in the form of the parent alloy, which is more
conducive to the uniformity of the composition of the ingot than
that of the pure metal.Zr-Sn-Cr-Fe or Zr-Sn-Cr-Fe-Ni parent alloys
are used for casting Zr-Sn-Sn alloy.
In the smelting of zirconium and niobium alloy ingots, the addition
of alloying elements in the form of Zr-Nb master alloy is easier to
avoid the segregation of refractory elements (Nb) than that of pure
niobium.The parent alloy is usually refined in a vacuum non-white
electrode arc furnace.Zirconium alloy ingots prepared by vacuum
consumable smelting generally weigh about several hundred
kilograms, and its composition uniformity is easy to control, which
is also suitable for plastic processing.Advances in modern casting
techniques have enabled the production of homogeneous ingots
weighing more than 1t.
