Drawings
The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of preferred embodiments of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the drawings, and the drawings are not intended to be drawn to scale in actual dimensions, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a process for preparing a shoe mold from a superhard aluminum alloy according to an embodiment of the invention;
Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the present invention are further described in detail with reference to specific examples so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and can implement the present invention, but the examples are not intended to limit the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a superhard aluminum alloy material, which includes, by weight, silicon not more than 0.15%, iron not more than 0.15%, copper: 0.25% -0.35%, manganese: 0.60% -0.73%, magnesium: 1.20% -1.50%, zinc: 7.2% -7.6%, titanium: 0.01% -0.028%, chromium: 0.25% -0.40%, rare earth elements: 0.03-0.05%, the ratio of zinc content to magnesium content is 5.0-5.7, and the total weight percentage of zinc, magnesium and copper content is 8.8-9.3%.
The superhard aluminum alloy provided by the embodiment belongs to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system, and Zn and Mg form a main strengthening phase MgZn2Can produce obvious strengthening effect on the aluminum alloy. In addition, Cu is added, so that the strengthening effect can be further improved. The added compounds generated by transition elements such as manganese, chromium and the like in the alloy can further improve the strength of the alloy and can also improve the plasticity and the stress corrosion resistance. Especially, the addition of Cr can improve the toughness of the superhard aluminum alloy and reduce the sensitivity of stress corrosion cracking. The titanium and the boron can refine the crystal grains of the alloy in an as-cast state, and improve and stabilize the performance of the alloy. The rare earth can obviously improve the metallographic structure of the aluminum alloy, refine crystal grains, remove gas and harmful impurities in the aluminum alloy, reduce crack sources, improve the strength of the alloy, improve the processability and improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Iron can reduce the corrosion resistance and mechanical property of the alloy, and is particularly obvious for the alloy with higher manganese content. Iron and silicon are harmful impurities, which not only reduce strength and corrosion resistance but also significantly reduce fracture toughness, soSo that the iron content should be as low as possible. Silicon reduces the strength of the alloy and increases the tendency to crack.
The superhard aluminum alloy provided by the embodiment has the following unique nonlinear quantitative relationship between the hardness of the alloy as cast on day 7 and each element respectively:
the hardness and the Zn content have a quadratic function relation: -61.539x2+922.74x-3333.7, and the Zn content is around 7.5%, the inflection point with the highest hardness appears, and the as-cast hardness is not lower than 122HBW in the control range of the system.
The hardness has a quadratic function relation with the Mg content: -87.078x2+239.01x-39.194, and the Mg content is around 1.37% and the inflection point with the highest hardness appears, and the as-cast hardness is not lower than 124HBW in the control range of the system.
The hardness has a quadratic function relation with the Zn/Mg ratio: 1.5467x2-15.736x +164.28, and the ratio is substantially monotonically increasing in hardness in the range of 5.0-5.7.
The hardness has a quadratic function relation with the Cu content: 2157.2x21273.9x +311.96, and the lowest inflection point of hardness occurs at a Cu content of about 0.295%, and the as-cast hardness of this lowest point is not lower than 122HBW within the control range of the system.
Based on the research and experimental analysis of the quadratic function relationship between the hardness and Zn, Mg and Cu in the system control range, the weight percentage sum of Zn, Mg and Cu content is 8.8-9.3%, which becomes the control range with better strengthening effect.
The hardness and Mn have a quadratic function relationship in the content range: 427.97x2613.86x +343.7, and the lowest inflection point of hardness occurred at a content of 0.71%.
The hardness and Cr have a quadratic function relation in the content range: 2286.4x21584.7x +398.06, and the lowest inflection point of hardness occurred at a content of 0.345%.
Mn and Cr in the alloy system can improve and enhance the toughness of the alloy and reduce the sensitivity of stress corrosion cracking. The toughness is best when the content is at the lowest inflection point affecting the hardness, and the as-cast hardness value is not lower than 123 HBW.
The hardness has a quadratic function relation with the Ti content: -36302x2+1455.6x +110.29, and the highest inflection point of hardness occurs at a Ti content around 0.02%. Therefore, the aluminum titanium boron refiner employed also needs to meet the unique performance impact requirements of this one alloy system.
