Description

A kind of aluminium alloy, by its planographic printing plate that forms and preparation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to be fit to be processed into planographic printing plate (lithographic sheet) alloy, be used in particular for the thin preparation method who rolls alloy and this type of planographic printing plate of aluminium strip form of offset plate making machine (offset printing plate maker).
Background technology
Known offset plate making machine uses the thin aluminium alloy of aluminium strip form that rolls.
To roll aluminium strip and be processed into planographic printing plate in order to approach, at first will remove the greasy dirt of platemaking machine or aluminium strip is carried out etching, this carries out in alkaline solution usually.This processing and preparing is used for the aluminium surface of boarding, and makes surperficial little defective planarization.
Subsequently, carry out electrochemistry boarding (electrograining) and have the surface topography that curls up hemispherical depression with generation.This is carrying out based on hydrochloric acid or in based on the electrolytic solution of nitric acid usually.
Use alternating-current (AC) to carry out the electrochemistry boarding by the electrolyzer that comprises described aluminium strip.The electrochemical reaction that per semi-period takes place is removed aluminium effectively by solvency action from the surface.
Perhaps, can be by for example brushing, with the aluminium strip mechanical alligatoring in surface.Yet this processing is more rare.
The function of the depression that the aluminium strip surface forms is the surface-area that increases aluminium strip, and keeps water.In other words, owing to there is depression, make the aluminium strip possess hydrophilic property.
Subsequently, can carry out decontamination step, thereby remove the aluminium hydroxide stain that in the electrochemistry boarding course of processing, forms.
Next, aluminium strip is made anodizing.This causes growing the porous anodic oxide at the sunk surface of aluminium strip.Wearing layer is provided thus, thereby improves the life-span of the planographic printing plate printing quality that forms by described aluminium strip.This also can make photosensitive coating adhere to better, and makes the unreactiveness of described plate higher, and prolongs its preservation period thus.
Subsequently, usually to aluminium strip coating photosensitive polymer coating.This coating draining and oil suction.Planographic printing plate needs oil suction, and this is an oil base because of printing ink.
In this step, planographic printing plate comprises the hydrophilic anode aluminium lamination that has covered the oleophylic photoactive layer.
With its simplest form,,, form pattern for example by exposure by removing partial coating.This means that described coating must be easy to remove, to expose hydrophilic anode layer in its lower section.Yet described coating also must have wear resistance, thereby keeps clear pattern during printing is carried out.
Therefore, the surface-functional that importantly makes the aluminium strip that forms planographic printing plate have enough intensity and be fit to.
Term " surface-functional " is to be used to describe material good electrochemistry boarding takes place, thereby the uniform distribution of depression size is provided and does not form the ability of any surperficial streak or directive property.This quality for the gained printed patterns is extremely important.
Electrolytic solution during most of platemaking machine uses are processed as the electrochemistry boarding based on the solution of HCl.Yet, use based on HNO 3Electrolytic solution also be known.The mechanism of boarding processing is different in various electrolytic solution.The material that all can carry out good electrochemistry boarding in two kinds of electrolytic solution is favourable.
In lithographic plate-making industry, two kinds of alloys of known special use.First kind of alloy is called as AA1050, and has composition as shown in table 1 below.AA1050 has good electrochemistry boarding performance.
If claim that material has " good electrochemistry boarding performance ", mean that then this material has the ability that produces the uniform surface of depression under wide in range condition and range.This type of material also should be able to carry out the electrochemistry boarding in based on the electrolytic solution of hydrochloric acid or nitric acid.

Second kind of alloy is called as AA3XXX, and comprises having AA3103 or the AA3003 alloy of forming shown in following table 2 and the table 3.Compare with the intensity of AA1050, the intensity of AA3XXX is improved.Yet the electrochemistry boarding performance of AA3XXX is not as AA1050 type alloy.

AA1050 type alloy uses in Europe, Asia and South America market usually.The alloy of this type is based on HCl and HNO 3Solution in all can be by electrochemistry boarding well, but lower with other alloy phase specific tenacitys.It is believed that when this alloy of use is formed for carrying out the planographic printing plate of long period printing, this will be a potential problem.
AA3XXX type alloy uses in North America usually.This type of alloy difficulty carries out the electrochemistry boarding, therefore when can the application machine alligatoring adding man-hour, more often uses this type of alloy.
The AA3XXX alloy can electrochemistry boarding in HCl, but electrochemistry boarding processing may produce surperficial streak (streakiness).Therefore, this alloy has relatively poor relatively electrochemistry boarding performance, but has high green strength (raw strength) and high baking intensity (bake strength).
Usually improve the wear resistance of photosensitive coating by the baking planographic printing plate.Yet this processing may produce detrimentally affect to the intensity of aluminium base.This processing behavior is more common in North America, and helps to explain the increase of A3XXX use.
Usually use standard resistance to bake test (standard bake test) is measured the baking intensity of alloy.Described standard resistance to bake test comprises alloy 240 ℃ of heating 10 minutes.
Focus on, the alloy that is used to be processed into planographic printing plate does not take place significant softening during toasting, and the intensity of this alloy can not be adversely affected like this.Significantly softening that aluminium alloy base plate takes place can exert an adverse impact to the three-dimensional nature (dimensional properties) of printing plate with relevant microstructure change.With regard to fatigue failure (failure by fatigue), this may be deleterious.
Generally speaking, the alloy with good electrical chemistry boarding performance that has now found that does not have required intensity, and the alloy with desirable strength has bad electrochemistry boarding performance.
Summary of the invention
According to a first aspect of the invention, this paper provides the Al alloy that is fit to be processed into planographic printing plate, and described alloy has following composition (in weight %):
Fe.0.16-0.40
Si, at the most 0.25
Cu, at the most 0.01
Mn, at the most 0.05
Ti, at the most 0.015
Mg.0.02-0.10
Zn, at the most 0.06
Unspecified other components, every kind at the most 0.03
Surplus is Al, and wherein the minimum content of Al is 99.3.
Because have the aluminium of high per-cent in the alloy, the level of other compositions is corresponding lower.This makes that the versatility of alloy when reclaiming with the back is better.
Preferably, minimum aluminum content (that is the minimum content of aluminium) is 99.45wt%.More preferably, minimum aluminum content is 99.50wt%.
By making alloy have the aluminium of higher weight per-cent, can further improve the versatility of described alloy when reclaiming with the back.
Magnesium is used to improve the boarding performance of alloy, and its intensity to alloy has limited influence.Yet magnesium can improve virgin alloy really and through the mechanical property (for example, intensity) of baking alloy, so its existence in alloy is very important.Magnesium is limited in the scope of 0.10wt% very importantly, this is because it does not damage the versatility of described alloy when reclaiming with the back.
Alloy of the present invention can comprise the magnesium of 0.099wt% at the most.
Preferably, Mg content is in the scope of 0.02-0.05wt%.
Zinc also can improve the boarding performance of alloy, and also the intensity to alloy has limited influence.The contriver finds that the zinc of 0.05 weight % can be to the electrochemical properties generation advantageous effect of alloy at the most in the aluminium alloy.
Preferably, the minimum content of zinc is 0.02wt%.
The ratio of zinc and magnesium can be substantially in the scope of 0.1-2.3 in the alloy.
Have now found that by the content of control zinc and magnesium, can make the gained aluminium alloy have good electrochemistry boarding performance.
Make and exist iron that two purposes are arranged in the aluminium alloy.At first, be in order to ensure the intermetallic compound (iron rich intermetallics) that forms rich iron, this is most important for generate even sunk structure during electrochemistry boarding (alligatoring) step of plate-making processing.Secondly, be in order to ensure the iron that has capacity in the sosoloid in the material, this helps producing good temperature stability, especially the intensity after the plate baking is kept particularly advantageous.
Advantage with alloy of minimum iron level is its second phase intermetallic compound that guarantees to exist capacity in alloy structure (2nd phase intermetallics), and this only to be the solubleness level of iron in aluminium could be realized under the transcendental situation.
The iron level that improves in the alloy is favourable, and this is because iron provides hardening effect in aluminium alloy, improves the intensity of alloy thus.
Yet the upper limit that iron level exceeds 0.4wt% is not favourable, and this is because further interpolation does not have more favourable influence to aluminium alloy structure, and also very little to the further raising of intensity.Another shortcoming that iron level is brought up to greater than 0.4wt% is that it damages the versatility of described alloy when reclaiming with the back.
Have now found that the copper that exists in the aluminium alloy can influence the depression pattern of alligatoring, but can improve the strength of materials under original and the baking condition but then.The inventor finds, if with the weight percent of copper remain on 0.01 or below, then the intensity of this alloy can improve because of there being copper, also the detrimentally affect of copper to the depression pattern can be remained in the minimum extent simultaneously.
The titanium that exists in the aluminium alloy is necessary for the boarding size of guaranteeing fully to control on the metallurgy (grain size).Yet too much titanium can produce detrimentally affect to the chemical property of alloy.The inventor finds that if the weight percent of titanium is no more than 0.015, then this alloy can be benefited from the effect of titanium to the boarding size control, also the detrimentally affect to chemical property can be remained in the minimum extent simultaneously.
Alloy of the present invention can comprise the manganese of 0.049wt% at the most.
Preferably, minimum manganese content is 0.005wt%.
The manganese that exists in the alloy is used to improve the green strength and the baking intensity of alloy.Yet manganese may produce detrimentally affect to the electrochemistry boarding performance of alloy, and therefore, the manganese level in the alloy should be not too high.
Preferably, manganese content is in the scope of 0.005-0.030wt%.
The ratio of manganese and magnesium is favourable in the scope of 0.08-1.63 substantially.
According to a second aspect of the invention, the invention provides the planographic printing plate that the alloy by first aspect present invention forms.
According to a third aspect of the invention we, the invention provides the working method of the planographic printing plate that the alloy by first aspect present invention forms.
Present invention is described in the mode of example by the following examples, but not limitation of the invention, the present invention is not limited in these embodiment.
What below list is the detailed composition of 4 embodiment in the preferred embodiment of the invention, to show the weight ratio of the component that forms described alloy.

Embodiment
Tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength/stress (ultimate tensile strength/stress (UTS)) are meant the overall loading that applies to material during the tension test and the ratio of the original cross-sectional area of this material.In fragility or toughness material, it is consistent with breaking point, but reduces to extend under the stress continuation usually after by UTS.
Proof stress (R p) be in metal, to produce the required stress of a certain amount of tension set (recoverable deformation), it does not have tangible yield-point.In accompanying drawing 2 and 4, proof stress is to produce 0.2% tension force (R p0.2) stress.
As mentioned above, the standard baked test is to continue 10 minutes under 240 ℃.In Fig. 1-4, also detect other temperature (promptly 200 ℃, 220 ℃ and 260 ℃) showing the intensive property of every kind of alloy, and the reduce situation of described intensive property under different baking conditions.
As shown in Figure 1, with AA1050 combination metallographic ratio, each alloy among the embodiment 1-4 all has higher vertical ultimate tensile strength under former beginning and end baking state and assigned temperature.Yet AA3XXX combination gold has the intensity that is higher than embodiment 1-4.
As shown in Figure 2, with AA1050 combination metallographic ratio, each alloy among the embodiment 1-4 all has higher longitudinal elasticity ultimate stress under former beginning and end baking state and assigned temperature.
As shown in Figure 3, with AA1050 combination metallographic ratio, each alloy among the embodiment 1-4 all has higher horizontal limit tensile strength under former beginning and end baking state and assigned temperature.
As shown in Figure 4, each alloy among the embodiment 1-4 all has the transverse elasticity ultimate stress that is higher than AA1050 combination gold under former beginning and end baking state and assigned temperature.
Can understand, with regard to pressure, the bending property specific tenacity is important, but is difficult for directly measuring.Therefore, often intensity is used as the reference of simulation benchmark.However, the present invention has still carried out simple pliability test to embodiment.
Described pliability test is based on makes and measures the static test that is used for planographic printing plate is fixed to the bending on the printing press.
Because the character (for example working method of the composition of alloy, toughness, alloy) of material has remarkably influenced to initial bending but is limited to the influence of fatigue, so think that static test is the most suitable.Should be understood that main by degree of crook (bend dimensions) and material specification (material gauge) mensuration fatigue failure.
In order to carry out pliability test, will bend to strict parameter set (strictset of parameters) by the plate that particular alloy forms.If degree of crook and designated value (comprise and specify specification) differ too much, then can damage test-results.
The thickness measurements of sample will keep constant as far as possible, in the scope of 0.275-0.280mm.
Tension value on the outside sweep surface is to a great extent by crooked inner surface radius and specification decision.This can produce noticeable change with the subtle change that parameter is set.Therefore, the interior curve radius should keep constant.
In use, use the crooked aluminium planographic printing plate of press brake.Press brake is associated with printing press, and it is to be used to form crooked equipment component.In this test, in the simple bending of setting 60 ° of radius periphery manufacturings, thus the simulation press brake.60 ° within normally used angle of bend scope.
This test is carried out on both direction, and wherein bending axis is parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction of plate respectively.Rolling direction is the direction of aluminium sheet being processed during rolling.
This test and the test of carrying out on AA1050 combination gold are compared.
After the test, use opticmicroscope the bending of alloy to be assessed according to its cross section outward appearance and exterior surface appearance.
Photomicrograph shown in Fig. 5-8 has shown the pliability test data of AA1050 alloy sample and the foregoing description 1 sample.
As mentioned above, Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 a are Photomicrograph, and it shows the transverse section of AA1050 alloy sample after accepting pliability test respectively.By these accompanying drawings as seen, the pressure distortion of crooked inner surface causes the alloy internal surface inwardly to twist.This distortion is positioned at the pointed annular region of Reference numeral 1.Can be by the horizontal survey pressure distortion that inwardly twists.
Shown in zone 2, also can find the fold (ridge) that on the alloy outside surface, forms by the shearing strain on the outside surface.Can pass through the level of the depth survey shearing strain of the fold that forms.
Do not form the advantage that the distortion fold is considered to material.This is because generally believe that fold can be used as focal point of stress, and serve as the weak site of causing the planographic printing plate fracture.
Fig. 6 and Fig. 6 a show the transverse section of sample after accepting similar pliability test of the foregoing description 1 respectively.By accompanying drawing as seen, compare with the outside surface of the AA1050 alloy sample shown in Fig. 5 a with Fig. 5, the internal surface flexural deformation shown in the zone 3 reduces, and the outside surface shown in the zone 4 is more level and smooth.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 have shown the more details of crooked outer surface of the sample of AA1050 alloy sample and embodiment 1 respectively.Can find equally in the annular region that in Fig. 7, marks, compare, have degree of depth fold in the AA1050 alloy sample with the sample of embodiment 1 by Reference numeral 5.Fig. 8 shows that outside surface is totally smoother.
Analysis to the Photomicrograph shown in Fig. 5-8 is qualitatively to a great extent, directly compares but still can make between the different-alloy in the variation of viewed shearing strain and crackle (cracking) level between the differing materials.Also the crooked outer surface to every kind of alloy carries out roughness concentration, and has measured the peak-paddy spacing of the maximum of shearing strain fold on the crooked outer surface.
Use white light interference method (white light interferometer) that the described pattern of crooked outer surface is measured.In this uses, with the untouchable method of interferometer as measure surface roughness.
