Optimization Design, Modeling and Thermal Stress for the 12t Reduction and Distillation Container of Sponge Titanium

Article Preview

Abstract:

The reduction and distillationcontainer in titanium-sponge-production is of great concern. In order to get access to a highly efficient vessel which can produce sponge titanium of high quality, a new structureof new material was brought forward in this paper. This new structure, with doublelayers, inner layer of carbon steel and outer layer of stainless steel, was a substitute for traditional single-layer stainless steel container. This new optimization method of 12t container brought in the paper can reduce the impurities in the sponge titanium lump andincrease the times of the container to use.Of cause, it has a great improvement in yield per unit time. For the purpose of improving the reliability of this new optimization structure, temperature and stress field was established and simulated by an integrated FEM/FEM system based on ANSYS. This theory, therefore, can be one of the solutions to the development of titanium-sponge-production equipments by means of the thermal stress field analysis.
