摘要
An assessment has been made of the suitability of magnesia, calcia, alumina, and yttria for manufacturing melting crucibles and investment casting moulds for gamma-TiAl alloys. Small refractory crucibles have been prepared by pressing or plasma spraying techniques and used to melt a small quantity of a Ti - 48Al - 2Nb - 2Mn (at.-%) alloy in a carbon resistance furnace. The effects of the refractory type and melting time on the oxygen content, penetration, and microstructure have been established. The depth of penetration versus the holding time at 1550 degrees C can be expressed by a power law. Based on these small-scale tests, it can be concluded that magnesia and silica containing alumina are unsuitable, whereas both pure calcia, yttria, and yttria-coated magnesia show promise for melting and casting gamma-TiAl alloys.
