A kind of aluminium alloys for pistons and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of aluminium alloy and preparation method thereof, more particularly to a kind of aluminium alloys for pistons and its preparation side
Method, belongs to aluminum alloy materials field.
Background technology
As one of most important part, piston in engine, it is referred to as the heart of engine.Its function is subject to gas
Pressure, and by piston pin be transmitted to connecting rod driving make bent axle rotate, when engine works, piston directly with transient temperature 2200
Degree Celsius high-temperature gas contact, its head temperature is up to 300 DEG C -400 DEG C, and temperature distributing disproportionation is even;Lived in working stroke
Plug top subjects very big pressure, and gasoline engine reaches 4MPa-5MPa, and diesel engine is up to 8MPa-9MPa, even more high;In addition, living
Plug moves back and forth linear velocity up to 11m/s-16m/s in cylinder;It is this it is severe under conditions of work.Piston subjects height
Temperature, the thermic load of high pressure and mechanical load.Therefore piston is used as the very important structure that energy is transmitted in automobile engine
Part, has special requirement to its material:Density is small, light weight, heat conductivity are good, thermal coefficient of expansion is small;And have enough
Elevated temperature strength, wear resisting and corrosion resistance energy, good stability of the dimension.
Existing piston Si contents are up to Dinging Xing of 23%, Ti product Wen≤0.02%D, and cylinder prepareding gap is typically in 0.025mm-
0.035mm.Because actual expanded size is uncontrollable, it may appear that in operation, the actual gap of cylinder plug and cylinder body is unstable for engine
It is fixed, easily cause alter oil, gas leakage and identical size piston coordinate identical size cylinder body and the different phenomenon of power.And blindly
Increase Si contents can cause piston excessively crisp, and impact resistance declines, and not have preferable solution before above mentioned problem.
The content of the invention
The present invention is in view of the deficienciess of the prior art, provide a kind of aluminium alloy formula and preparation method thereof, it is therefore intended that
On the basis of ensureing that piston is forced the way across, the coefficient of cubical expansion is reduced, reduces cylinder prepareding gap, it is effective to solve because cylinder prepareding gap causes
Alter oil, gas leakage and power problem, make overall using effect more.
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the invention provides a kind of technical scheme:A kind of aluminium alloys for pistons, by quality
The composition of percentage is:Mg:0.8%-1.4%;Cu:0.2%-0.6%;Sc:0.04%-0.06%;Ti:0.01%-
0.06%;Mn:0.03%-0.09%;Cr:0.03%-0.1%;Zn:0.02%-0.26%;Ni:2.4%-3.6%;La:
0.01%-0.04%;Ce:0.01%-0.04%;Si:24%-26%;Surplus is Al.
It is that the wearability of this material is good, and thermal coefficient of expansion is small, piston intensity using the beneficial effect of above-mentioned technical proposal
It is high.
First, silicon can improve the mobility and hot cracking tendency of aluminium alloy, improve the wearability of material and reduce thermal expansion system
Number.In silumin material, the volume fraction of brittlement phase Si phases largely determines the thermal coefficient of expansion of material,
As temperature is raised, the thermal coefficient of expansion of ductility phase is more than brittlement phase.Because the brittlement phase Si contents in the technical program are enough
Greatly so that ductility phase Al phases are reduced in aluminium alloy, and the Si phases being enriched with are blocked, so that the thermal coefficient of expansion of material is significantly
Reduction.
In addition, appropriate Mg, can improve the tensile strength of aluminium.Cu, Ni addition can form the heat-resisting phases of AlCuNi.In right amount
Ti play crystal grain thinning, improve the effect of alloy strength and plasticity.A certain amount of Mn elements are added, can be subtracted with crystal grain thinning
Small fracture dimple size reduction fracture grain boundary fracture proportion, improves the tissue topography of fracture, improves alloy ductility.Addition
Sc is combined with Al, is played a part of crystal grain thinning, dispersion-strengtherning and is suppressed recrystallization.Rare earth element has very high chemistry living
Property, easily acted on gas (such as hydrogen), nonmetallic (such as sulphur) and metal (such as Fe), generate corresponding stable compound.Rare earth member
The atomic radius of element is more than common metal, and rare earth metal, which is added in aluminium alloy, can play a part of microalloying;In addition, dilute
The gases such as earth metal and hydrogen and it is many it is nonmetallic have stronger affinity, the high compound of fusing point can be generated, dehydrogenation, essence is played
Refining, catharsis;Meanwhile, Rare-Earth Element Chemistry activity is extremely strong, can optionally be adsorbed on the crystal grain boundary grown up, and hinders
Grain growth, causes crystal grain refinement, there is metamorphism.
It is preferred that, the composition of the aluminium alloy by mass percentage is:Mg:1.1%-1.2%;Cu:0.3%-0.5%;
Sc:0.04%-0.05%;Ti:0.03%-0.05%;Mn:0.05%-0.07%;Cr:0.05%-0.08%;Zn:
0.12%-0.19%;Ni:2.9%-3.5%;La:0.02%-0.03%;Ce:0.01%-0.04%;Si:24%-26%;
Surplus is Al.
Further, the aluminium alloy also includes Zr:0.04%-0.05%, Zr can combine Sc and Al atoms, the particle of formation
Heat endurance than Sc and Al formation particle heat endurance it is higher, further improve aluminium alloy performance.
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, present invention also offers a kind of preparation method of aluminium alloys for pistons, including such as
Lower step:
(1) Al is added into smelting furnace, heating-up temperature is 720-750 DEG C, after being completely melt, adds Si of aluminium foil parcel
Grain, and it is incubated 3-5 hours;Si particles are added, enough brittlement phases are formed, and ductility is mutually separated;
(2) by temperature control at 740-790 DEG C, Ti, Mn, Cr, Si, Ni, Sc are added, until completely dissolved, 10- is stood
30min, cools to 680-700 DEG C, adds Mg, Zn, stirs and wait to be completely dissolved;
(3) the 0.08%-0.16% covertures of liquation gross weight, the press-in Aluminium Foil Package into liquation are sprinkled to molten surface
Good refining agent, carries out refining slagging-off and removes solid/liquid/gas reactions, scum silica frost is scratched clean after completion of the reaction;
(4) liquation is warming up to 800-860 DEG C, adds red phosphorus alterant and La, Ce, mix after completion of the reaction, to
Molten surface spreads 0.02%-0.06% covertures again, and standing 10-20min can be poured.Red phosphorus is added in molten aluminium alloy
The mischmetal of alterant and La, Ce, can refine silicon grain, be evenly distributed.Can also be played in casting process prevents silicon
The effect of grain increase, prevents the problem of silicon grain increase is brought.
Further, if needing insulation before pouring, need, every 40-80min plus coverture, to strengthen degassing effect,
Prevent the rapid air-breathing of liquation.
Further, the amount of the coverture is the 0.08%-0.16% of liquation gross weight.
Further, the coverture is ice crystal, Na3AlF6、Na2SiF6、NaCl、KCl、CaF2、 NaF2In one kind.
Further, the refining agent is one kind in zinc chloride, carbon trichloride, expanded graphite, sodium nitrate.
Further, in step (2), after the Si particles for adding aluminium foil parcel, every 20-30min, one is stirred with graphite rod
It is secondary, to ensure that Si is completely dissolved.
Further, in step (2), it is additionally added the Zr that mass percent is 0.04%-0.05%.
Further, before smelting furnace is added, Zn, Mg and rare earth metal are first preheated into 2-4h at 200-250 DEG C, remaining
Composition preheats 2-4h at 350-450 DEG C.
After improvement by the present invention, obtained thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum alloy is small, and stability is good, and intensity is high, and wearability is good,
Comprehensive performance is good.The aluminium alloy is made after piston, volume stability can Jian little Dao≤0.013%D, cylinder prepareding gap can subtract
As little as 0.018-0.028mm, reduces the actual gap of piston and cylinder body, and it is unstable that oil, gas leakage and power are altered in effective improvement
The problem of, improve the phenomenon that the possible caused piston intensity of silicone content declines while avoiding, it is ensured that its intensity.
