Description

A kind of aluminum alloy materials and its gravitational casting substituting QT400 light-duty vehicle steering gears Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of aluminum alloy materials and its gravity casting method substituting QT400 light-duty vehicle steering gears.
Background technology
Spheroidal graphite cast-iron (abbreviation magnesium iron) is one of the material of the main utilization in automobile steering device industry, traces it to its cause and just exists In the low price of magnesium iron, the mechanical property of stabilization and physical index.
The trade mark of magnesium iron 400 defines more stringent accurate chemical composition combination, specification of heat treatment parameter, mechanical property With physical index etc..It is shown in Table 1.
The corresponding mechanical property of the spheroidal graphite cast-iron trade mark and tissue that 1 GB/T 1348 of table is determined
This mechanical performance index and its criteria for classification of magnesium iron can be used as aluminum alloy materials innovative design, raising property Can to mark basis;Current automobile market pursues low-carbon, intensive, high efficiency (high-effect), flexibility, is auto manufacturing The mark crossed over from traditional form to high-end form.
In the technology upgrading of " with aluminium for steel ", in order to give full play to aluminium alloy with " light " the superior spy of series for representative Property, it is necessary to so that it is had tremendous development in terms of " strong ", while there cannot be unacceptable manufacturing cost increment, it could significantly It expands it and uses field.This requires must first make a breakthrough in Al-alloy material design.
It is examined closely from the method for material preparation, since material characteristics are combined by carry the microcosmic object of functionality of this feature It contributes, therefore the good functional object of acquisition is combined, such as high intensity, high-melting-point, high-ductility, high rigidity, corrosion resistant Erosion etc. is the final result that various preparation methods are pursued, to, the Design of Chemical Composition of aluminium alloy and its technology of preparing there is Close internal integrity, this uniformity, in short, being the pass how a kind of atom is combined into required " object phase molecule " System, the i.e. object of material mutually can regard a kind of molecular structure as.It is formulated the mixed smelting and casting crystalline of element, is fusion casting shape The major contributing link of material of becoming a useful person phase molecule composite structure, in fusion-casting process, between solid solution crystal grain and the metal of crystal boundary Compound molecule object mutually determines the crystalline state combination (submicron particles of alloy:10~300 μm or so of scale), subsequent heat treatment Or flow harden is then to fine structure (micron particles under crystalline state group frame:1~30 μm or so of scale) or even more Microcosmic precise and tiny structure (Subnano-class or sub-micron grade particle:1 μm of scale 10nm~<) it is adjusted and perfect, this adjustment With perfect degree and range, in known technology and traditional concept, it is believed that mainly by the alloy phase residing for alloy composition The given combined decision of object of graph region, still, alloy phase diagram do not provide the addition of other trace elements and exclude generation It influences, with less the directiveness for prediction addition and excluding other trace elements and mutually being influenced on object.Use for reference alloy solution chemistry Theoretical and method improves melt structure, such as the covering of protective film, the addition of slag former, refining agent or alterant, degasification slagging-off Purification etc., be improve alloy crystalline state combination, fine structure or even more microcosmic precise and tiny structure important technical, but these Means, due to being to grope accumulation during prepare alloy to get, be often considered as " preparation process " rather than " at Set up meter separately " part.
On engineer application, the size and state of aluminum alloy solution body crystal grain, and it is distributed in the intermetallic of crystal boundary The size and form of object has conclusive influence to the mechanical property of alloy.Coarse plane crystalline substance, dendrite, column crystal etc. are no Ordered crystal and the coarse brittle property intermetallic compound for being distributed in crystal boundary, can be the good fine structure of alloy and precise and tiny knot Structure all balances out the obdurability contribution of matrix, because the law of development that these coarse grains are deferred to results from casting mold cavity Type wall gives birth to core, from the unidirectionally extended growth pattern of export-oriented liquid internal, cause the component segregation of alloy, crystallization it is coarse it is unidirectional, The non-uniform defect of macro property, to some common deficiencies as alloy, such as pin hole, stomata, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, thick The root of big solid solution, high hardness compound, crackle etc..The means of the routine rotten means and crystal grain thinning that use at present, such as Add aluminium titanium boron or Al-Ti-C master alloy, best effect can only make mean grain size refine to 120~150 microns, and branch The often not basic transformation of brilliant form, this is the important bottleneck problem that alloy mechanical property improves.Because being closed to aluminium For gold, the approach that intensity and toughness improve simultaneously, the only refinement of crystal grain and rounding are obtained;The adjustment of heat treatment process, In the state that crystalline structure has determined, intensity or toughness can only be made to be optimized on one side.Therefore, how further thin Change the mean grain size with rounding alloy, is the target that industrial circle is pursued always.
In terms of material design angle, 211Z materials are difficult to overcome the problems, such as there is also some.Micro-analysis is found, is had Bulky grain has very high titanium Ti and rare earth concentration, as promoting the substance of crystal grain refinement, this phenomenon to show Ti and rare earth The opposite for needing to solve the problems, such as is moved towards;And in the production process of 211Z alloy-steel castings, also occur and common aluminum alloy Equally common defect, including pin hole, stomata, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, coarse 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 will start with from the chemical composition of alloy itself and its microcosmic phase structure of formation It studies, especially the formation mechenism of object phase molecule composite structure is furtherd investigate, can just see clearly essence, and then finds solution Certainly problem, the effective way of elimination defect.
It is saturating by the spherical aberration correction scanning for being up to the very high resolution of 0.08nm to aluminum bronze manganese systems (Al-Cu-Mn) alloy The precise and tiny constituency analysis of electron microscope (STEM) is penetrated, various phase structures, the Atomic Resolution established on an atomic scale are obtained It is distributed with chemical element.Confirm wherein there are a series of hardening constituents, including well-known Al-Cu binary metastable phase (areas GP, θ ", θ '), new disc phase and balance phase θ (Al2Cu);Wherein inside matrix grain, a kind of forked (the T+ θ H) group of stick of new discovery Phase is closed, the trunk portion T-phase of the combination phase is Al-Cu-Mn ternary phases, molecular structural formula Al20Cu2Mn3, molecule phase character is Diameter about 100nm, length about 600~1000nm are in mandrel shape and { 010 } face coherence in its (010) face and alloy matrix aluminum;And T The apposition growth secondary phase of Al-Cu binary of size larger (thickness about 20nm, being about 50nm) around phase, due to the secondary phase with Other Al-Cu metastable phases (areas GP, θ ", θ ' or other disc phases) are compared in matrix, have very big difference in structure, especially Thickness is much thicker than other Al-Cu metastable phases, therefore the present invention is referred to as θ H phases, molecular structural formula Alx(x is likely less than Cu 2), it is a kind of richness Cu molecules.
According to alloy strengthening theory, the intensity of alloy is that material median surface or dislocation movement by slip are generated by the obstruction of particle , obstruction is stronger, and the intensity of material is also bigger.And particle hinders the knot that behavior interacts with material median surface or dislocation movement by slip Fruit, there are two types of:One is when particle strong hardness itself is not high enough, dislocation will cut through particle and continue to slide, and another kind is particle Intensity is very high, and dislocation can not be cut through, then can only continue to slide around particle, and a circle dislocation ring is left around particle.
The size that two kinds of results contribute the strength of materials is obvious:Particle is cut through to the strength of materials around particle ratio Contribution it is big;It cuts through particle and is capable of providing the preferable elongation percentage of material, and will be carried due to the humidification of dislocation ring around particle For the higher yield strength of material and tensile strength.
Existing aluminum alloy materials steering gear is aluminium silicon systems and aluminum bronze system mostly, aluminium silicon systems (Al-Si) good moldability but strong Degree, lower hardness, are unable to reach the mechanical property of ductile iron material (QT400), cannot be satisfied vehicle in severe road surface downward driving Normal direction of rotation is run;And aluminum bronze system (Al-Cu) intensity can reach very high, but very unstable and casting formability is very poor (cannot With permanent mold casting), yield rate is low to cause manufacturing cost to increase.

Beneficial effects of the present invention:It is pointed by lewis' theory of acids and bases, molecule solution can occur in aluminium alloy melt Body or " acid-base pair " substance for contributing in time nano-area (range for being less than 1 nanometer) object phase molecule structure optimization, application It is adjusted in the fine structure of melt nanoscale range, is the most important creative technological means of the present invention.
By using lewis' theory of acids and bases, make addition and exclusion to the trace element of carrying in relation to Lewis Acids and Bases, Molecule disintegration and conversion occurs in aluminium alloy melt environment, is imitated with providing the abundant disturbance in the hyperfine microcell of melt and activating It answers, reaches and expedite the emergence of critical nucleus and largely formed, so that alloy grain degree is further refined, form more rounding;Increase (T+ θ H) content of the combination phase in alloy substrate is the mechanism problem for the alloy strengthening that the present invention solves.
In alloy melt, different metal atom or ion it is close, also will produce energy level splitting between them and heat occur Chemical reaction (electronics transfer does not occur) and form the pattern of intermetallic compound, point of matrix crystalline state is different from due to foring Minor structure has preferable thermal stability, so it is also suitable lewis' theory of acids and bases.Such as in intermetallic compound molecule AlxCu and Al20Cu2Mn3In, according to electronegativity size, it is known that Al ratios Cu, Mn are easier to lose electronics, and therefore, Al is Louis Alkali, Cu, Mn are lewis acid, AlxCu and Al20Cu2Mn3Louis's " acid-base pair " can be regarded as.It is external in melt when being added When Lewis Acids and Bases are to decomposing, intermetallic compound presoma that can be poor with matrix Presence of an interface is obviously also disturbed and activates And recurring structure rises and falls, and generates more critical nucleus, makes the concentration of (T+ θ H) combination mutually in the alloy and is evenly distributed density, Make up to 1/[μm]2More than, here it is Lewis Acids and Bases to that can increase Asia in the disturbance of nanoscale and activation effect The mechanism of nanoscale particle (T+ θ H) combination phase and the areas nanoscale particle GP, θ ", θ ' tandem reinforcement phases.
In addition, since Lewis Acids and Bases are to being capable of providing to foreign peoples's material concentration of alloy melt bigger, increase The constitutional supercooling degree of melt crystallization process causes nucleus quickly to cross critical dimension under stronger crystallization power, and in supercooling It is freely nucleated and grows in liquid, being formed has isotropism and shape closer to spherical equi-axed crystal;Due to equiax crystal It is this because of the free growing endogenetic forming mechanism of liquid internal, change the irregular crystals edge such as plane crystalline substance, dendrite, column crystal In the unidirectionally extended growth pattern of type wall life core, the certainly export-oriented liquid internal of casting mold cavity, therefore avoid or alleviate alloy Component segregation, coarse unidirectional, the non-uniform defect of macro property of crystallization, so that some for effectively avoiding or alleviating alloy are common Defect, such as pin hole, stomata, shrinkage cavity and porosity, segregation, coarse solid solution, high hardness compound, crackle.
Due to (T+ θ H) combination mutually with Al-Cu binary disperse phase θ ' at different levels, θ ", the areas GPI 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 It is improved with distribution density, can be achieved with arranging in pairs or groups in terms of size, quantity and distribution with Al-Cu binary disperse phase relatively Even, compact-sized, then it just will produce most strong distortion of lattice stress field (maximum dot matrix mismatch) between each other, while again and base Body whole coherence or half coherence completely, therefore a three-dimensional elastoplasticity net battle array is formd in entire crystal grain three dimensions, whole A intra-die produces similar " armored concrete " to the hierarchical reinforced structure of fabric structure humidification (hereinafter referred to as " class concrete reinforced structure "), substantially improve the mechanical property of alloy;This superlastic modeling equally distributed within the scope of crystal particle scale Property tension structure have and can effectively transfer particle as much as possible and participate in resisting, share and absorbing external impact momentum jointly The ability of (Dynamic And Static Loads), to microcosmic upper with powerful fatigue resistance, macroscopically with high-strength, high-ductility, height hard " three Height is unified " feature, this " class concrete reinforced structure " and only globular graphite and iron-based body in the spheroidal graphite cast-iron of steel material class Two kinds of parallel constructions and grain size must change between 15~500 μm can not improve (a side jointly to obtain strong hardness and toughness Raising premised on reducing another party) matrix characteristics compare, it is clear that have higher engineering application value.
According to lewis' theory of acids and bases, aluminum melt is an electron rich high temperature system, that is, belongs to strong lewis base, served as After the copper manganese of amount is added, since the electronegativity of copper manganese is stronger, the more electron cloud of suction makes the alkali of alloy melt to be formed Property reduce, surface tension increase, be unfavorable for the generation of critical nucleus;After electron rich substance is added, the acid effect of copper manganese is balanced It answers, the interfacial tension that original nucleus faces reduces, thus the original nucleus for promoting the trunk T-phase of (T+ θ H) combination phase is grown into Critical nucleus, to determine that mutually quantity and distribution density significantly improve in the alloy for (T+ θ H) combination.
Cobalt tetracarbonyl anion body Co (CO)4When being coexisted with Al matrixes Mn, Al is formed4(CoFeMn), complicated hardening constituent Disperse hinders dislocation, prevents grain sliding, be effectively improved the room temperature and high temperature (at 400 DEG C) intensity of alloy in interdendritic; Ligand can also occur secondary reaction and generate CO2, purification gas being accompanied after a series of variations, melt being discharged, this purification is made With dissolving H in the melt and oxide impurity can be absorbed and decomposed with most stable of gaseous state, to its catharsis ratio Conventional gas purification mode effect is more preferable.Therefore, principal component 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%, 120 microns of alloy mean grain size <, surplus are aluminium Al.Addition titanium Ti can refine as cast condition crystalline substance Grain, improves the recrystallization temperature of alloy, reduces the decomposition tendency of supersaturated solid solution, improves the tissue stabilization of alloy under high temperature Property;Ti is added in aluminium and forms Al3Ti generates peritectic reaction with melt and becomes heterogeneous necleus, plays refining effect, make (T+ θ H) Content >=1/square micron of the combination phase in alloy substrate.
Since (T+ θ H) combines the discovery of phase, in aluminium alloy strengthening design, so that it may to combine phase by increase (T+ θ H), The matrix strength for enabling aluminum alloy to material obtains big promotion, and stability is well controlled, this be the invention solves engineering Application problem, i.e. alternate series ductile iron material and product.
