Preparation method of semi-solid blank for ADC12 alloy
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method, in particular to a preparation method for an ADC12 alloy semi-solid blank, and belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous metal forging production and manufacturing.
Background
The ADC12 alloy has excellent casting performance and comprehensive mechanical property, is very suitable for high-pressure casting forming, and is one of the most widely applied alloys in the automobile field. However, because the components are close to the eutectic point of aluminum and silicon, the apparent viscosity of the cast iron is low in a molten state, and the cast iron is easy to curl and mix during die-casting forming, so that the compactness of a casting is reduced, and the mechanical property cannot be improved by further heat treatment.
The semi-solid processing and forming technology is a process for forming semi-solid blank with nearly spherical crystal grains suspended in liquid phase. The apparent viscosity of the semi-solid blank of the nearly spherical solid phase is exponentially reduced along with the increase of the shearing rate, so that the slurry flow state is stable in the forming process, the forming force is low, and the entrainment and the inclusion are less. The key point of the forming technology is to prepare a semi-solid blank with a spherical structure. Under the conventional conditions, the dendrites can be crushed to obtain the spherical structure by carrying out mechanical stirring or electromagnetic stirring and other strong shearing actions in the solid-liquid two-phase temperature range of the alloy, but the solid-liquid temperature range of the ADC12 alloy is only about 10 ℃, and the stable batch processing is difficult to carry out in the traditional mode.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: the preparation method for the semi-solid blank of the ADC12 alloy can effectively control the spherical structure of the ADC12 alloy and realize stable batch processing of the ADC12 alloy.
The technical scheme adopted for solving the technical problems is as follows: a preparation method for an ADC12 alloy semi-solid blank is characterized in that a pre-deformed ADC12 alloy after alloy crystal grains are crushed and deformed is used as a base, isothermal treatment is carried out, and then pressurization or water quenching is carried out through a water-cooling copper die to obtain the ADC12 alloy semi-solid blank.
Further, the pre-deformed ADC12 alloy is subjected to a dicing treatment before being subjected to isothermal treatment, and the volume of the diced pre-deformed ADC12 alloy is matched with the volume of the ADC12 alloy semi-solid blank to be obtained.
The preferable mode of the proposal is that isothermal treatment is carried out after the dicing is finished, the specific parameters of the isothermal treatment are,
the isothermal treatment temperature interval is selected to be between 480 and 550 ℃, and the heat preservation time is selected to be between 10 and 500min according to the corresponding solid fraction requirement.
Further, the pre-deformation ADC12 alloy with crushed alloy grains is obtained by adopting a forging mode.
In a preferred embodiment of the above aspect, the forging ratio in forging the pre-deformed ADC12 alloy in which the alloy grains are broken is 2 to 4.
The preferable mode of the above scheme is that the forging temperature is controlled between 200 ℃ and 300 ℃.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the method is based on the pre-deformed ADC12 alloy after alloy crystal grain crushing deformation, and the semi-solid blank of the ADC12 alloy is obtained by pressurizing or water quenching through a water-cooling copper die after isothermal treatment. In the technical scheme of the application, due to the isothermal treatment and the water-cooling copper die pressurization or water quenching, the traditional plastic processing technology and the isothermal heat preservation control technology can be fully combined for preparing the semi-solid blank of the ADC12 alloy, so that the defect that the alloy is difficult to directly process in a liquid state due to the narrow solid-liquid temperature range can be overcome, and the continuous preparation can be more stably realized, and the method is suitable for batch production. The principle is that the traditional plastic processing technology causes alloy crystal grains to be distorted, huge distortion energy exists among the crystal grains, and the distortion energy is released under proper temperature to easily enable the crystal boundary to be preferentially melted and rounded, so that spherical particles are formed. The technology is fully utilized, and the spherical structure of the ADC12 alloy can be effectively controlled, and stable batch processing of the ADC12 alloy can be realized by combining the technology and the ADC12 alloy.
