A kind of composite inoculating method of composite modifier and cast Al-Si alloy
Technical field
The present invention relates to the modifying technology field of cast aluminium alloy gold, and in particular to a kind of composite modifier and Casting Al-Si
The composite inoculating method of alloy.
Background technique
Al-Si series cast aluminium alloy gold has excellent casting fluidity and air-tightness, small thermal expansion coefficient and good
The advantages that weldability and machining characteristics, is widely used in the neck such as automobile and motorcycle, aerospace, communication and electronic apparatus
Domain.According to statistics, China's aluminium alloy castings yield in 2017 has reached 7,920,000 tons, and wherein aluminium-silicon alloy casting accounts for about therein
85%~90%.In automobile product casting, aluminium-silicon alloy casting also accounts for 80% or more of entire automobile casting total amount, becomes
Mostly important one of the light material of automotive light weight technology.As new-energy automobile, communications industry step up lightweight requirements,
The obdurability of cast aluminium alloy gold is required also higher and higher.
Refining alloy tissue is one of the effective means of metal Strengthening and Toughening, and wherein Metamorphism treatment is at low cost, method is simple
The features such as list, significant effect, it has also become improve aluminum alloy organization and performance one of the most effective ways.Currently, being usually used in α-Al
The fining agent of refinement has Al-Ti-B, Al-Ti, Al-Ti-C, RE etc., and wherein Al-Ti-B is the most commonly used, but for the casting containing Zr
The problem of aluminium alloy is not applicable, while there is also segregations, sedimentation;Sr is that the optimal Eutectic Silicon in Al-Si Cast Alloys alterant of effect is generally acknowledged in industry,
But Sr chemical activity is active, easy scaling loss and air-breathing, damages alloy mechanical property.In order to refine α-Al and Eutectic Silicon in Al-Si Cast Alloys simultaneously, usually
Sr and Al-Ti-B combination addition can not still be solved the problems, such as into Sr air-breathing and scaling loss using composite inoculating technique, but simply.RE
It is a kind of surface active element, crystal grain can not only be inhibited to grow up in aluminium alloy, and generate compound with [H], there is degasification
Purify the function of melt.Zhang Jiahong [lead by Zhang Jiahong, Xing Shuming .Al-Si alloy modification element and its reciprocation [J] material
Report, 2018,32 (11): 1870-1877.] etc. review Sr, La and Sr, Y composite inoculating can effectively refine secondary dendrite spacing and
Eutectic Silicon in Al-Si Cast Alloys tissue;Lan Yefeng [influence of Lan Yefeng, Guo Peng, Zhang Jijun the rare earth to Al-Ti-B-RE intermediate alloy detailed performance
[J] foundry engieering, 2005 (09): 774-775.] confirm that the addition of RE has the grain refining efficiency and timeliness of Al-Ti-B
Raising by a relatively large margin.It can be seen that although RE can improve the rotten and grain refining efficiency to Sr and Al-Ti-B to a certain degree,
It also cannot achieve Eutectic Silicon in Al-Si Cast Alloys refinement synchronous with α-Al crystal grain, improve the obdurability of alloy to a greater degree.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of composite modifiers, the compound change for hypoeutectic or cocrystallized Al-Si alloy
