Technical field
The invention belongs to metallurgical technology field.
Background technology
Aluminium alloy is as typical light material in metallic substance, compare with ferrous materials, there is high strength, low density, high fracture toughness, thermal expansivity little, and the good characteristic such as high anti-stress-corrosion ability, in machinery, chemical industry, automobile, building, Aeronautics and Astronautics field, be able to widespread use.Concerning aluminium alloy cast ingot, crystal grain thinning can make its interior tissue even, reduces segregation, improves plasticity, prevents the defects such as crackle and shrinkage cavity.In aluminium and aluminium alloy, add appropriate rare earth element, can improve its performance, development novel material.Conventionally rare earth element has very strong chemical mobility of the surface, has alloying, purification, the effect such as rotten.
In the time of in Al-RE aluminium alloy extensively applies to industrial production, its smelting technique has been proposed to new requirement: guaranteeing under the prerequisite of alloy property, with minimum energy, in the shortest time, melt out qualified Al-RE aluminium alloy, both the time of alloy melting and the loss of metallic element had been reduced, save production cost, can accurately control again the composition of alloy.Thereby effectively enhance productivity, reduce and pollute.Because rare earth all has rotten ability in various degree, can generate different intermetallic compounds.Therefore can obtain the intermetallic compound of several raising alloy properties by adding several different rare earths, thereby prepare different aluminium-RE ternary master alloys.Document [Lee Room. the Microstructure and properties research of the rotten secondary aluminium alloy ADC12 of mishmetal. 2011, University Of Nanchang] in reported a kind of method of the Al-La-Ce of preparation ternary master alloy.But this method rare-earth oxidation scaling loss is serious, and the scaling loss amount of La and Ce is respectively 12.21% and 16.87%, and there is component segregation to a certain degree.Therefore the simple method of finding out a kind of Al-RE of preparation ternary master alloy is significant.
People constantly explore the preparation method of aluminium-rare earth intermediate alloy, the production method of preparing at present rare earth aluminium alloy is roughly summarized following two kinds: 1, direct fusion process, be that rare earth or norium are joined in high temperature aluminum liquid by a certain percentage, make master alloy.Be characterized in easy to operate, alloying constituent stable content.Shortcoming is exactly easily to cause alloying constituent segregation, causes local part overrich, disperses the defects such as inhomogeneous.2, fused salt electrolysis process, in electrolytic furnace, usings Repone K, rare earth oxide and rare earth chloride etc. as ionogen, and in aluminium liquid, electrolysis makes aluminium-rare earth intermediate alloy.In industrial aluminum electrolysis bath, directly add rare earth compound, by electrolysis, make aluminium-rare earth intermediate alloy.But in electrolytic process, can produce toxic gas, contaminate environment, is detrimental to health.In addition, alloying constituent is difficult to control, and fluctuation range is larger.
The present invention introduces high-energy ultrasonic to process on the basis of direct fusion process, utilizes the sound cavitation effect of high-energy ultrasonic and acoustic streaming effect to make the master alloy composition that makes even, and rare earth burn out rate is low, prevents segregation.
