摘要

To reduce the interfacial reaction between titanium alloy castings and CaZrO3 silica-based investment casting molds, Y2O3 with a mass fraction of 20–80 wt% was added into CaZrO3-based facecoat aggregates to prepare investment casting molds, followed by ZTA15 titanium alloy casting. The effect of Y2O3 content on the interfacial reaction was investigated by XRD, SEM-EDS, and DTA. The results show that the addition of Y2O3 forms a Y–Zr–O physical barrier layer on the mold surface, and the integrity of the barrier layer is gradually damaged with the decrease of Y2O3 content. When the Y2O3 content is ≥ 60 wt%, the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer is ≤ 56.4 μm, and the reaction products are mainly α-Ti and β-Ti. When the Y2O3 content is ≤ 40 wt%, the reaction layer thickness is ≥ 77 μm, and the reaction activation energy decreases significantly. Therefore, within the experimental design range, to ensure the stability of CaZrO3 silica-based molds in titanium alloy investment casting, the appropriate addition amount of Y2O3 should be no less than 60 wt%.
