Abstract: A vacuum smelting device with mold-temperature control design includes: a chamber body and a cabin door, wherein the chamber body and the cabin door form a vacuum closed space; a smelting crucible disposed in the vacuum closed space for smelting raw materials to a molten metal; a casting mold also disposed in the vacuum closed space for accommodating the molten metal poured from the smelting crucible, and solidifying the molten metal to an as-cast alloy; and a mold-temperature control module surrounding the casting mold for controlling the temperature of the casting mold.

Abstract: A titanium-aluminum intermetallic for improving casting fluidity includes the following elements in atomic percentage: Al: 40 at % to 50 at %, Cr: 1 at % to 8 at %, Nb: 1 at % to 8 at %, Mo: 1 at % to 5 at %, Mn: 1 at % to 6 at %, Ni+Si+Fe: 1 at % to 15 at %, B: 0.05 at % to 0.8 at %, and the balance of Ti and inevitable impurities. The titanium-aluminum intermetallic in the present disclosure has more adequate casting fluidity, that is, has better castability.

Abstract: A crucible device with temperature control design includes a crucible body, an induction coil unit, a nozzle flange body and a melt delivery tube and a temperature control unit. The induction coil unit surrounds the crucible body, provides a heat source during use, and is configured to enable a metal material to melt and produce a melt having a melting skull. The melt delivery tube is communicated via the nozzle flange body to a bottom of the crucible body and is configured to deliver the melt from the crucible body. The temperature control unit includes a microprocessor, a heater and a temperature sensor which are electrically coupled to each other, and are configured to control a curve of the melting skull to drop to a preset position.

Abstract: A copper alloy wire and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The copper alloy wire includes: by weight percentage of components, 0.3 to 0.45 of silver (Ag), 0.01 to 0.02 of titanium, and a remaining part that is formed by copper and unavoidable impurities. The method for manufacturing the copper alloy wire is performing two-phase vacuum melting: first performing vacuum electric arc melting into a copper-titanium mother alloy, and then performing vacuum induction melting with remaining components into a copper alloy wire material by means of continuous casting; then drawing the copper alloy wire material into a copper alloy fine wire by a non-slip wire drawing device in a material even-flow wire drawing manner, and finally performing thermal treatment on the copper alloy fine wire by using argon as a protection gas, so as to complete a process of the copper alloy wire.
