A process for producing a lithium-containing alloy material is described. The process supplies a light alloy material applicable to the design of lightweight structural components. The process includes first melting alloy materials at a required ratio into a homogeneous alloy melt, then pouring the alloy melt into a ladle protected with an inert gas and pre-filled with a lithium material, where the lithium material is vigorously flushed and mixed with a hot stream of the alloy melt, and diffused into the alloy melt, and then after uniformly mixing, pouring the lithium-containing alloy melt into a mold to form an ingot and produce a lithium alloy. The process solves the fundamental problems of both contamination and uncontrolled component caused by longtime overheat in traditional melting techniques, and is a novel, safe, economic, and efficient manufacture process. |
