Background technology
The Al-Zn-Mg line aluminium alloy be typical in high-strength heat-treatable strengthened alloy, have good welding performance, plasticity and processing characteristics, it is the main lightweight structural material of building, surface car, Aero-Space and military applications equipment, its consumption is the trend that rises year by year, all adopting Al-Zn-Mg as most of member of 25mm mountain region antiaircraft gun is alloy (7A52 alloy) manufacturing, and can weld Al-Zn-Mg by force in main employing of new-type river crossing bridge equipment is that alloy (7005 alloy) is welded.
At the aluminum alloy melting welding field, non-heat treatment reinforcement magnalium serial alloy welding wire is to use the most a kind of, accounts for more than 50% of whole aluminium alloy packing material use amount at present, and its typical trade mark is ER5356.The advantage of ER5356 alloy welding wire is that intensity is moderate, heat crack resistance is relative with decay resistance better.But along with the continuous improvement of high-strength aluminum alloy performance and the raising of attaching parts reliability requirement in the Al-Zn-Mg system, the requirement of strength of high-strength aluminum alloy welding point during traditional Al-Mg alloy welding wire such as ER5356 can not satisfy, especially for the large component that can not heat-treat after thick plates and the welding, press for heat resistanceheat resistant and split the high strength aluminum alloy welding wire better, to satisfy the more bonding strength and the reliability needs of multiple-project parts with anti-stress corrosion performance.
In to the aluminium alloy capability Study of Lifting, find that scandium (Sc) is the most effective up to now alloying element.Scandium becomes strong grain refiner of aluminium alloy and effective crystallization inhibitor again, and the structure and the performance of alloy produced significantly influence, and the adding of an amount of scandium makes the intensity, hardness, welding performance, decay resistance etc. of aluminium alloy be greatly improved.Its strengthening mechanism is: except that a small amount of solid solution, major part is with Al in aluminium alloy for scandium
3The Sc particle form is separated out, i.e. the nascent Al of casting
3The secondary Al of Sc and hot-working
3Sc. the former has identical lattice types and extremely low coherence mismatch with aluminum substrate, becomes effective heterogeneous body nucleus, and refinement alloy casting state grain structure improves alloy strength; The latter further improves intensity and suppresses alloy recrystallization by the prevention of dislocation pinning and sub boundary, makes alloy all can keep stable non-recrystallized structure in hot-working or annealing in process state, thereby keeps its good toughness and tenacity.
Add Sc in aluminium alloy, seek out enough desirable grain refining effect, there is a critical concentration in Sc content.Requirement must be added Sc content to hypereutectic composition (greater than 0.55%Sc) in aluminium alloy, separate out nascent Al in the time of just making the alloy melt crystallization
3The Sc phase becomes the heterogeneous body core.And Al
3The Sc particle also exists the trend of the alligatoring that is easy to reunite, and its heat endurance is still inadequate.Though Al-Sc system eutectic composition is very low, because Sc costs an arm and a leg, cost of alloy will increase considerably, and therefore have a strong impact on research, the development and application that contains scandium-aluminum alloy.
Adopt other transition elements or rare earth element Zr, experiment and thought that Ti etc. are compound with Sc can effectively solve alligatoring and cost problem.Beneficial effect when the compound interpolation of scandium and other element has not only kept adding scandium separately, and can improve particle heat endurance, Al
3Sc can make Al mutually
3The Sc facies evolution forms Al
3(Sc, Zr) compound particle further reduce the mismatch with aluminum substrate.The combined microalloying research that contains the scandium magnalium and be alloy has also obtained good effect.To adopting Sc and zirconium (Zr) combined microalloying to study, can significantly improve the intensity of alloy in the Al-5Mg alloy, its tensile strength and regulation disproportional extension strength increment reach 84MPa and 91MPa respectively.
It is found that in recent years rare earth element er (Er) is joined the remarkable refinement alloy grain of energy in the Al-Zn-Mg alloy, increase substantially alloy strength, suppress crystallization again; The small and dispersed phase Al that Er forms in aluminium alloy
3Er and Al
3The Sc structure is identical, and lattice paprmeter is approaching, and its refinement, invigoration effect are remarkable.
For 7 is the welding of Al-Zn-Mg aluminium alloy, domestic main employing homogeneity or heterogeneous welding wire at present.For common solder wire material Al-Mg and Al-Si, being applied to 7 is that the mother metal welding time should avoid the silicon of high-load to exist, thereby should adopt the Al-Mg system as welding material.But homogeneity welding wire and traditional Al-Mg line aluminium alloy welding wire element such as magnesium and zinc volatilization oxidization burning loss in welding process seriously make strength of joint be starkly lower than strength of parent.For the aluminum alloy materials with more and more higher instructions for use, it also progressively improving, especially has higher requirement to welding hot tearing and Sensitivity of Stress Corrosion under the desired strength to the requirement of welding quality.But the welding wire (as ER5356) of the choosing of incense at present obviously deficiency thinks that Al-Zn-Mg system and Al-Mg line aluminium alloy provide good welding matching, and the demand to the high-performance solder wire material on the engineering is very urgent.
Summary of the invention
One of purpose of the present invention provides the Al-Mg alloy welding wire with higher-strength of a kind of Al-Zn-Mg of satisfying series high strength aluminium alloy and Al-Mg line aluminium alloy through engineering approaches welding usefulness, the unique distinction of this soldering wire alloy is, can obtain the excellent more structure property and the welding procedure window of expansion under the low content alloy element condition, can reduce weld seam alloy welding hot cracking tendency, postwelding can obtain higher strength of joint, and have the performance of good anti-marine atmosphere stress corrosion, can be used for the welding of large thick-wall aluminium alloy part.
For achieving the above object, the present invention takes following technical scheme:
