Recently, the second phase of Tiancheng Aviation Materials Technology Renovation and Expansion17tVacuum Consumable Electric Arc Furnace (hereinafter referred to as“VARfurnace“) was officially put into production and successfully produced the diameter1080mm,length2850mm,Single12tofTA1ingot. After testing, the surface quality and chemical composition of the ingot meet the requirements of the process design.
INTECOChina Sanan and Tiancheng Aviation Materials project team completed the equipment handover
This production17tVARFurnace imported from AustriaINTECOcompany, which can produce the largest diameter1160mm,The maximum length3700mmmaximum unit weight17tTitanium and titanium alloy ingots, which once again refreshed the single weight limit of domestic ingots.
The equipment has achieved a new breakthrough in the process of “one pole, one ingot”. It can smelt a whole electrode with a single weight of 12.5t at a time, avoiding the quality risk caused by one ingot welding to the greatest extent, and improving the stability of ingot batches and batches. The annual production capacity of secondary ingots is 2700t, which is one of the largest and most advanced vacuum consumable electric arc furnaces in China.
The first TA1 ingot smelted in the 17tVAR furnace was released
At the same time, the last 10tVAR furnace in the second phase of Tiancheng Aviation Materials’ technical renovation and expansion project has entered the final commissioning stage and will be officially put into production in the near future. At that time, after the company’s 8 vacuum consumable furnaces are fully produced, the annual production capacity of ingots can reach 10,000t.
VAR furnace of the second phase of technical renovation and expansion project
The full production of the 17tVAR furnace marks the company’s smelting capacity has been upgraded again, which will further meet the needs of high-end titanium alloy research and development, trial production and production capacity enhancement, and promote the rapid transformation and upgrading of domestic titanium alloys.
