Abstract
The nitrogen behavior of superalloy melt GH4169 during the vacuum induction melting (VIM) process was clarified by using different proportions of returned materials including block-shaped returned material, chip-shaped returned material, and pure materials to produce a high–purity superalloy melt and provide guidance for the purification of the superalloy melt. For the nitrogen removal during the VIM process, the denitrification rate in the refining period reached 10 ppm per hour on average, which is significantly higher than 1 ppm per hour on average in the melting period. The denitrification reaction of superalloy melt GH4169 under extremely low vacuum pressure is controlled by both the mass transfer of nitrogen in the melt and the chemical reaction of the liquid–gas interface. The nitrogen removal of superalloy melts during VIM occurs through the two methods of gasification denitrification and nitride floatation because the nitrides begin to precipitate in the liquid phase at 1550 °C. A higher nitrogen removal rate can be obtained by increasing the proportion of chip-shaped material or decreasing the proportion of block-shaped material.
