Description

A kind of aluminum alloy materials substituting QT400 light-duty vehicle steering gear and gravitational casting thereof Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of aluminum alloy materials substituting QT400 light-duty vehicle steering gear and gravity casting method thereof.
Background technology
Spheroidal graphite cast-iron (abbreviation magnesium iron) is one of material of main utilization in automobile steering device industry, traces it to its cause and just exists In the low price of magnesium iron, stable mechanical property and physical index.
The trade mark of magnesium iron 400 defines more strict accurate chemical composition combination, specification of heat treatment parameter, mechanical property With physical index etc..It is shown in Table 1.
Mechanical property that the spheroidal graphite cast-iron trade mark that table 1 GB/T 1348 determines is corresponding and tissue
This mechanical performance index of magnesium iron and criteria for classification thereof, can be as aluminum alloy materials innovative design, raising property Can to mark basis;Current automobile market pursues low-carbon (LC), intensive, high efficiency (high-effect), motility, is auto manufacturing The mark crossed over to high-end form from traditional form.
In the technology upgrading of " with aluminum for steel ", in order to give full play to aluminium alloy with " gently " the superior spy of series as representative Property, it is necessary to first make its aspect in " by force " have tremendous development, can not have unacceptable manufacturing cost increment simultaneously, could significantly Expand its use field.This just requires first to make a breakthrough in Al-alloy material design.
The method close examination prepared from material, owing to material feature is combined by the functional microcosmic thing that carry this feature Contribute out, therefore obtain good functional thing combined, such as high intensity, high-melting-point, high-ductility, high rigidity, corrosion resistant Erosions etc., are the final results of various preparation method pursuit, thus, the Design of Chemical Composition of aluminium alloy also exists with its technology of preparing Closely internal integrity, this uniformity, in short, be a kind of atom pass of how being combined into required " thing phase molecule " System, the i.e. thing of material can regard a kind of molecular structure mutually as.The mixed smelting of formula element and casting crystalline, be fusion casting shape Become the major contributing link of material thing phase molecule combinative structure, in fusion-casting process, between the metal of solid solution crystal grain and crystal boundary Compound molecule thing determines crystalline state combination (submicron particles: about yardstick 10~300 μm) of alloy, subsequent heat treatment mutually Or flow harden is then to fine structure under crystalline state group frame (micron particles: about yardstick 1~30 μm) or even more The precise and tiny structure (Subnano-class or sub-micron grade particle: yardstick 10nm~< 1 μm) of microcosmic is adjusted and perfect, this adjustment With perfect degree and scope, in known technology and traditional view, it is believed that main by the alloy phase residing for alloy composition The combined decision of thing that graph region is given, but, alloy phase diagram does not provide the interpolation of other trace element and gets rid of generation Impact, adds with less prediction and gets rid of the directiveness that thing is affected by other trace element mutually.Use for reference alloy solution chemistry Theoretical and method improves melt structure, the covering of such as protecting film, the interpolation of slag former, refining agent or alterant, and degasification removes the gred Purify, be to improve the combination of alloy crystalline state, fine structure or even the important technical of the more precise and tiny structure of microcosmic, but these Means, owing to being to grope accumulation during preparing alloy to get, are therefore often considered as " preparation technology " rather than " become Set up meter separately " part.
On engineer applied, the size of aluminum alloy solution body crystal grain and state, and it is distributed in the intermetallic of crystal boundary The size and form of thing, has conclusive impact to the mechanical property of alloy.Thick plane crystalline substance, dendrite, column crystal etc. are no Ordered crystal and the thick brittle property intermetallic compound being distributed in crystal boundary, it is possible to the fine structure that alloy is good and precise and tiny knot The obdurability of matrix is contributed and is all balanced out, because the law of development that these coarse grains are deferred to results from casting mold cavity by structure The raw core of type wall, from the unidirectionally extended growth pattern of export-oriented liquid internal, cause alloy component segregation, crystallize thick unidirectional, The defect that macro property is uneven, thus become some common deficiencies of alloy, such as pin hole, pore, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, thick The root of big solid solution, high hardness compound, crackle etc..The routine used at present goes bad the means of means and crystal grain thinning, as Adding aluminum titanium boron or Al-Ti-C master alloy, best effect can only make mean grain size refine to 120~150 microns, and branch Brilliant form does not often have basic transformation, and this is the important bottleneck problem that alloy mechanical property improves.Because aluminum is closed For gold, it is thus achieved that the refinement of the approach that intensity and toughness improve simultaneously, only crystal grain and rounding;The adjustment of Technology for Heating Processing, At crystalline structure it has been determined that, intensity or one aspect of toughness can only be made to obtain and to optimize.Therefore, the thinnest Change and the mean grain size of rounding alloy, be the target pursued all the time of industrial circle.
In terms of design of material angle, 211Z material there is also some problems being difficult to overcome.Micro analysis finds, has Bulky grain has the highest titanium Ti and rare earth concentration, and as the material for promoting crystal grain to refine, this phenomenon shows Ti and rare earth Move towards to need the opposite of solution problem;And in the production process of 211Z alloy-steel casting, also occur and common aluminum alloy The most common defect, including pin hole, pore, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, thick solid solution, high hardness compound, be mingled with (slag), Cold shut, cold shot, crackle, rotten defect, solid solution deficiency and burning etc..
These defects, main cause still to be started with from the microcosmic phase structure of the chemical composition of alloy itself and formation thereof Study, especially the formation mechenism of thing phase molecule combinative structure is furtherd investigate, just can see clearly essence, and then find solution Certainly problem, the effective way of elimination defect.
Scan thoroughly by aluminum bronze manganese systems (Al-Cu-Mn) alloy being up to the spherical aberration correction of the very high resolution of 0.08nm Penetrate ultramicroscope (STEM) precise and tiny constituency to analyze, it is thus achieved that set up various phase structures on an atomic scale, Atomic Resolution It is distributed with chemical element.Confirm wherein there is a series of hardening constituent, including well-known Al-Cu binary metastable phase (GP district, θ ", θ '), new disc phase and balance phase θ (Al2Cu);Wherein inside matrix grain, new discovery one rod forked (T+ θ H) group Closing phase, the trunk portion T-phase of this combination phase is Al-Cu-Mn ternary phase, molecular structural formula Al20Cu2Mn3, molecule phase character is Diameter about 100nm, length about 600~1000nm are { the 010} face coherence in mandrel shape and its (010) face and alloy matrix aluminum;And T Mutually around apposition growth size is compared with the secondary phase of Al-Cu binary of big (thickness about 20nm, be about 50nm), due to this secondary phase with In matrix, other Al-Cu metastable phase (GP district, θ ", θ ' or other disc phase) compares, and structurally has very big difference, particularly Thickness is thicker much than other Al-Cu metastable phase, and therefore the present invention is referred to as θ H phase, its molecular structural formula Alx(x is likely less than Cu 2), it is a kind of rich Cu molecule.
Theoretical according to alloy strengthening, the intensity of alloy is material median surface or dislocation movement by slip is produced by the obstruction of particle , hinder the strongest, the intensity of material is the biggest.And particle hinders the knot that behavior interacts with material median surface or dislocation movement by slip Really, having two kinds: one is when the strong hardness of particle own is not high enough, dislocation will cut through particle and continue sliding, and another kind is particle Intensity is the highest, and dislocation cannot cut through, then can only walk around particle and continue sliding, and leave a circle dislocation ring around particle.
The size that the strength of materials is contributed by two kinds of results is apparent from: walks around particle ratio and cuts through particle to the strength of materials Contribution big;Cutting through particle can provide material preferable elongation percentage, and walks around particle due to the potentiation of dislocation ring, will carry For the higher yield strength of material and tensile strength.
Existing aluminum alloy materials steering gear is aluminum silicon system and aluminum bronze system mostly, aluminum silicon system's (Al-Si) good moldability but strong Degree, lower hardness, it is impossible to reach the mechanical property of ductile iron material (QT400), travel under severe road surface and cannot meet vehicle Normal direction of rotation runs;And aluminum bronze system (Al-Cu) intensity can reach the highest, but the most unstable and casting formability is very poor (can not With permanent mold casting), yield rate is low causes manufacturing cost to increase.

Beneficial effects of the present invention: pointed by lewis' theory of acids and bases, molecule solution can occur in aluminium alloy melt Body or " acid-base pair " material of (i.e. less than the scope of 1 nanometer) thing phase molecule structure optimization, application in contributing to time nano-area Fine structure in melt nanoscale scope adjusts, and is the topmost creative technological means of the present invention.
By using lewis' theory of acids and bases, make about Lewis Acids and Bases the interpolation of trace element of carrying and eliminating, Disintegrate at aluminium alloy melt environment generation molecule and convert, to provide the abundant disturbance in the hyperfine microcell of melt and to activate effect Should, reach to expedite the emergence of critical nucleus and formed in a large number, make alloy grain degree be refined further, form more rounding;Increase (T+ θ H) combination content in alloy substrate, is the mechanism problem of the alloy strengthening that the present invention solves.
In alloy melt, different metal atom or ion close, also can produce energy level splitting between them and heat occurs Chemical reaction (electron transfer does not occur) and form the pattern of intermetallic compound, due to define be different from matrix crystalline state point Minor structure, has preferable heat stability, so being also suitable lewis' theory of acids and bases.Such as at intermetallic compound molecule AlxCu and Al20Cu2Mn3In, according to electronegativity size, it is known that Al is easier to lose electronics than Cu, Mn, therefore, Al is Louis Alkali, Cu, Mn are lewis acids, AlxCu and Al20Cu2Mn3Louis's " acid-base pair " can be regarded as.External when add in melt Lewis Acids and Bases is to when decomposing, and the intermetallic compound presoma that can differ from matrix Presence of an interface is the most also disturbed and activates And recurring structure rises and falls, produce more critical nucleus, make (T+ θ H) combination concentration the most in the alloy and be evenly distributed density, Make up to 1/[μm]2Above, here it is Lewis Acids and Bases can increase Asia to disturbance and the activation effect at nanoscale Nanoscale particle (T+ θ H) combination phase and nanoscale particle GP district, θ ", the mechanism of θ ' tandem reinforcement phase.
Further, since foreign peoples's material concentration that Lewis Acids and Bases is bigger to being supplied to alloy melt, therefore increase The constitutional supercooling degree of melt crystallization process, causes nucleus quickly to cross critical dimension under higher crystallization power, and supercool Free nucleation and growth in liquid, formed and have isotropism and shape closer to spherical equi-axed crystal;Due to equiax crystal This because of the free growing endogenetic forming mechanism of liquid internal, change the irregular crystal edge such as plane crystalline substance, dendrite, column crystal The growth pattern that the raw core of type wall in casting mold cavity, the most export-oriented liquid internal are unidirectionally extended, therefore avoids or alleviates alloy Component segregation, crystallize thick unidirectional, defect that macro property is uneven, thus it is common to be prevented effectively from or alleviate some of alloy Defect, such as pin hole, pore, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, thick solid solution, high hardness compound, crackle etc..
Due to (T+ θ H) combination and Al-Cu binary disperse phase θ ' at different levels, θ ", GPI district be respectively provided with successively sub-micron grade, Subnano-class and nano level distortion of lattice effect, as long as if technical solution of the present invention is the quantity of (T+ θ H) combination phase in matrix Improve with distribution density, can be achieved with arranging in pairs or groups relative equal in terms of size, quantity and distribution with Al-Cu binary disperse phase Even, compact conformation, then it will produce the strongest distortion of lattice stress field (maximum dot matrix mismatch) each other, the most again with base Body overall coherence or half coherence completely, therefore define a three-dimensional elastoplasticity net battle array, whole in whole crystal grain three dimensions Individual intra-die creates similar " armored concrete " to the hierarchical reinforced structure of fabric structure potentiation (hereinafter referred to as " class concrete reinforced structure "), substantially improve the mechanical property of alloy;This in the range of crystal particle scale equally distributed superlastic mould Property tension structure have can effectively transfer particle as much as possible jointly participate in opposing, share and absorb external impact momentum The ability of (Dynamic And Static Loads), thus there is on microcosmic powerful fatigue resistance, macroscopically there is high-strength, high-ductility, height hard " three High unified " feature, only globular graphite and iron-based body in this " class concrete reinforced structure " and the spheroidal graphite cast-iron of ferrous materials class Two kinds of parallel constructions and grain size must change to obtain strong hardness between 15~500 μm can not improve (a side jointly with toughness Raising to reduce premised on the opposing party) matrix characteristics compare, it is clear that there is higher engineer applied and be worth.
According to lewis' theory of acids and bases, aluminum melt is an electron rich high temperature system, i.e. belongs to strong lewis base, has served as After the copper manganese of amount adds, owing to the electronegativity of copper manganese is relatively strong, the more electron cloud of suction, make the alkali of the alloy melt of formation Property reduce, surface tension increase, be unfavorable for the generation of critical nucleus;After adding electron rich material, balance the acid effect of copper manganese Should, the interfacial tension that original nucleus faces reduces, thus the original nucleus promoting the trunk T-phase of (T+ θ H) combination phase is grown into Critical nucleus, thus quantity and distribution density significantly improve in the alloy mutually to determine (T+ θ H) combination.
Cobalt tetracarbonyl anion body Co (CO)4 -When coexisting with Al matrix Mn, form Al4(CoFeMn), complicated hardening constituent Disperse, in interdendritic, hinders dislocation, stops grain sliding, be effectively improved room temperature and high temperature (at the 400 DEG C) intensity of alloy; Part can also occur secondary reaction to generate CO2, after a series of changes, retinue purifies gas and discharges melt, and this purification is made With and decomposing H and the oxide impurity absorption dissolved in the melt with most stable of gaseous state, thus its purification ratio Conventional gas purification mode effect is more preferable.Therefore, main constituent is designed as by weight percentage: titanium Ti:0.08~0.25%, manganese Mn :≤2%, cadmium Cd:0.05%~0.5%, copper Cu:4.2%~8.0% and Cu >=0.8Mn+4.05%;Lewis Acids and Bases pair Total amount 1% × 10-4~2.0%, alloy mean grain size < 120 microns, surplus is aluminum Al.Add titanium Ti and can refine as cast condition crystalline substance Grain, puies forward heavy alloyed recrystallization temperature, reduces the decomposition tendency of supersaturated solid solution, improves the tissue stabilization of alloy under high temperature Property;Ti adds formation Al in aluminum3Ti, produces peritectic reaction with melt and becomes heterogeneous necleus, plays refining effect, makes (T+ θ H) Combination content >=1/square micron in alloy substrate.
Due to the discovery of (T+ θ H) combination phase, when aluminium alloy strengthening design, it is possible to by increasing (T+ θ H) combination phase, The matrix strength enabling aluminum alloy to material obtains big lifting, and stability is well controlled, and this is the engineering that the invention solves the problems that Application problem, i.e. alternate series ductile iron material and goods.
The aluminum alloy materials that present document relates to can the well mechanics of comprehensive aluminum silicon system and conventional aluminum bronze based material and castability Energy;The mechanical property of this aluminum alloy materials reaches the index of QT400 material, and casting character highlights, and finished product rate height (can use Metallicity casts).
