Review on development of large complex titanium alloy castings and manufacturing equipment for marine environments

  • 摘要: 海洋工程装备长期服役于高盐、高湿、高静水压力及腐蚀、疲劳、冲蚀、空蚀等多因素耦合环境中,其对关键构件的轻量化、耐蚀性、强韧性、尺寸稳定性和长寿命可靠性提出了更高要求。钛合金凭借低密度、高比强度、优良耐海水腐蚀性能、良好低温韧性和无磁性等优势,成为海洋工程装备重要结构材料。随着深海装备、舰船动力系统、海水输送系统及推进系统向大型化、整体化和复杂化发展,泵阀壳体、叶轮、螺旋桨桨叶、深海连接件和燃气轮机机匣等大型复杂钛合金铸件需求日益突出。本文围绕“海洋服役需求-铸造钛合金材料-大型复杂铸件-制造装备-质量保障”主线,综述海洋环境用钛合金材料体系、典型铸件及大型化趋势,重点分析真空自耗电弧重熔、感应凝壳熔炼、真空感应悬浮熔炼、真空自耗电极凝壳熔铸、热等静压和真空热处理等关键装备的发展现状与应用特点,并从成分适配、熔体洁净化、充型凝固、缺陷控制、铸后致密化及尺寸稳定性等方面,探讨大型复杂钛合金铸件对装备能力和过程控制的要求。最后提出,应通过新型铸造钛合金设计、大熔量高洁净熔铸装备、热处理协同控制、无损检测和服役评价体系建设,推动中国海洋工程用大型复杂钛合金铸件稳定、可控和规模化发展。

     

    Abstract: Marine engineering equipment serves long-term under multi-factor coupled environments featuring high salinity, high humidity, high hydrostatic pressure, as well as corrosion, fatigue, erosion and cavitation. Such service conditions raise higher requirements for lightweight design, corrosion resistance, strength-toughness, dimensional stability and long-life reliability of critical components. Titanium alloys possess advantages including low density, high specific strength, outstanding seawater corrosion resistance, favorable low-temperature toughness and non-magnetism, and thus act as vital structural materials for marine engineering equipment. As deep-sea facilities, marine power systems, seawater conveying systems and propulsion systems develop toward larger scale, integration and complication, the demands for large and complex titanium alloy castings such as pump-valve housings, impellers, propeller blades, deep-sea connectors and gas turbine casings keep growing. Centered on the main line of "marine service demand-cast titanium alloy materials-large complex castings-manufacturing equipment-quality assurance", this review summarizes the material systems, typical castings and upscaling tendency of titanium alloys applied in marine environments. It emphatically analyzes the development status and application features of key facilities, such as vacuum arc remelting, induction skull melting, vacuum induction levitation melting, vacuum consumable electrode skull melting and casting, hot isostatic pressing and vacuum heat treatment. From the aspects of composition matching, melt purification, mold filling and solidification, defect control, post-casting densification and dimensional stability, the requirements on equipment capacity and process control for manufacturing large complex titanium alloy castings are discussed. Finally, it is pointed out that the stable, controllable and industrial-scale development of domestic large complex titanium alloy castings for marine engineering shall be promoted via developing novel cast titanium alloys, constructing high-capacity high-cleanliness melting-casting equipment, implementing coordinated heat treatment control, and establishing supporting non-destructive testing and service evaluation systems.
