Method for local vacuum casting of aluminum alloy
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of alloy preparation, in particular to a method for local vacuum casting of aluminum alloy.
Background
The aluminum alloy casting has good mechanical property and corrosion resistance and higher specific strength, but the dendritic crystals of the aluminum alloy casting structure are thicker and can influence the composition segregation of the aluminum alloy and the distribution of phase body micro-holes, thereby influencing the structure and the performance of the aluminum alloy casting, therefore, the obtained aluminum alloy casting with fine grains and compact structure has to control and improve the casting conditions and ensures that the liquidity of liquid metal among dendrites is good. In addition, when an aluminum alloy is cast, gases such as oxygen exist in the aluminum alloy liquid as molecular simple substances or composite gases, and as the temperature of the cast aluminum alloy liquid is lowered to a solidification temperature, the solubility of hydrogen and nitrogen is suddenly reduced, so that the gases dissolved in the alloy liquid are precipitated to form a pinhole characteristic. And turbulence is easily generated in the process of pouring and filling the aluminum alloy liquid, so that the alloy liquid is easy to curl up gas and oxidize, and the defects of pinholes, air holes, impurities and the like are easily generated in the aluminum alloy casting. The casting conditions also affect the surface quality of the casting and the metallurgical quality of the internal structure.
For example, patent No. CN201811360842.2 discloses a method for preparing an aluminum alloy, which comprises adding silicon powder, copper powder, manganese powder, carbon nanotubes, graphene, silicon carbide whiskers, and aluminum powder in balance, dispersing, ball-milling, and sintering to obtain a product with excellent tensile strength. Also, for example, patent No. cn201810955611.x discloses a method for preparing an aluminum alloy by combining strong plastic deformation of metal and heat treatment of metal, and an aluminum alloy with high corrosion resistance is prepared by preparing a rod-shaped material, performing solution treatment, quenching, deforming and the like. Further, as disclosed in PCT/CN2012/076106, an aluminum-silicon-magnesium cast aluminum alloy and a casting process thereof are disclosed, which improve the tensile strength of the aluminum alloy through cooling and aging treatment, but generally consume large energy, and cannot solve the problems of dendrite coarseness and segregation in aluminum alloy casting.
In the field of aluminum alloy preparation, many practical problems to be treated in practical application still have no specific solution.
