Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy preparation, in particular to a preparation method of a novel high-performance 7XXX aluminum alloy thin strip by jet casting.
Background
The thin strip continuous casting technology is a leading technology in the metallurgy field at present, and the idea was originally proposed by Henry Bessemer in 1865 (US Patent: 49053). The continuous casting of the thin strip integrates the procedures of continuous casting, rolling, even heat treatment and the like, so that the produced thin strip blank can be formed into an industrial finished product at one time through subsequent rolling, the production procedure of the aluminum alloy thin strip is greatly simplified, the production period is shortened, and the production flow of the aluminum alloy thin strip is more compact, more continuous, more efficient and more environment-friendly; meanwhile, the production cost is obviously reduced, and the quality and the performance of the produced thin strip product are not inferior to or even superior to those of the traditional process.
Typical short-flow new processes include a Hatzerland (Hazelett) continuous casting and rolling process, a twin-roll thin-strip continuous casting and rolling process and the like. However, the conventional horizontal twin-roll thin strip continuous casting and rolling process can only produce rolled aluminum foil strips and relatively simple thin strip products of 1XXX and 3XXX series of alloy systems, and cannot produce high-end aluminum alloy products of 6XXX, 7XXX and the like. And the traditional horizontal twin-roll casting machine has a slow speed which is usually only 1-3m/min, and the production efficiency is low.
In recent years, many famous manufacturers of twin roll casting machines for thin aluminum alloy strips have made many developments in increasing casting speed and width of thin aluminum alloy strips, aiming at improving production efficiency and wider application. The more well-known companies include FataHunter, Italy and Puji, France, Speedcaster developed by FataHunterTMThe ultrathin high-speed casting and rolling machine is characterized in that: the double rollers are driven by double drives, the inclination is 15 degrees, the diameter of the casting roller is 1118mm, the plate width reaches 2184mm, the rolling force is 3000t, the maximum casting speed can reach 38m/min, and the thickness can reach 0.635mm at the thinnest. The Junbo3CM casting and rolling machine developed by Puji corporation is characterized in that: the rolling force is 2900t, the plate width reaches 2020mm, the cast-rolling thickness is 1mm at the thinnest, and the maximum cast-rolling speed can reach 15 m/min. These devices still do not produce high-end aerospace 7XXX series aluminum alloy products.
Currently, 7XXX aluminum alloys, such as 7075 aluminum alloy and 7050 aluminum alloy, have attracted considerable attention, mainly because of their irreplaceable roles in structural parts in the aerospace and automotive industries, and 7XXX aluminum alloys have the advantages of low density, high strength, excellent processability and anodic reaction, excellent stress resistance, spalling corrosion resistance, and the like, and are widely used in the aerospace field, such as various aircraft fuselages, wing spars, cabin panels, aircraft high-stress structural members, aircraft skins, high-strength structural parts in aircraft rockets, and the like.
However, the microstructure of the currently produced 7XXX aluminum alloys still has many problems that prevent the wide application of the aluminum alloys, such as grain and precipitation coarsening, hot cracking, and the distribution of intermetallic compounds and eutectic phases along grain boundaries, and the microstructure of the aluminum alloys largely determines the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys.

In the composition design of the 7XXX aluminum alloy thin strip of the invention:
zn: is one of the main alloy elements of 7XXX aluminum alloy, can improve the fluidity, the casting performance and the cutting processing performance in the aluminum alloy, and can form stable MgZn when being added with Mg at the same time2The strength of the aluminum alloy is improved by the strengthening phase, but the addition of a large amount of Zn increases the hot shortness and lowers the corrosion resistance. Therefore, the Zn content is controlled in the range of 4.8 to 6.3% in the present invention.
Mg: is one of the main alloy elements of the 7XXX aluminum alloy, is added with Zn at the same time, and can form stable MgZn2The strengthening phase can improve the strength, hardness, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and machinability of the aluminum alloy, but the addition of a large amount of Mg tends to cause hot brittleness and cracks in the alloy. Therefore, the Mg content is controlled in the range of 1.6 to 2.5% in the present invention.
Cu: is an important alloy element in 7XXX aluminum alloy, has certain solid solution strengthening effect and CuAl precipitated by aging2The copper alloy has obvious aging strengthening effect, and Cu can also improve the hardness, heat resistance, cutting performance and casting flow performance of the aluminum alloy; however, too high a Cu content affects the corrosion resistance and plasticity of the aluminum alloy and increases the tendency to hot cracking. Therefore, the Cu content is controlled in the range of 1.6 to 2.5% in the present invention.
Zr: is a common additive element in aluminum alloy, and ZrAl is formed by Zr and Al3The compound can effectively block the recrystallization process and refine recrystallized grains; zr also refines the cast structure, and in 7XXX aluminum alloys Zr is used to refine the recrystallized structure instead of Cr and Mn because Zr has less effect on quench sensitivity than Cr and Mn. Therefore, in the present invention, the Zr content is controlled to be in the range of 0.1 to 0.15%.
According to the invention, Cu element is selectively added into the 7XXX aluminum alloy, so that Cu is dissolved into the aluminum alloy in a solid solution manner, the strength, hardness, heat resistance and cutting performance of the aluminum alloy thin strip are improved, and the casting fluidity can be improved; in addition, the CuAl precipitated by aging2Has obvious aging strengthening effect.
In the invention, Zr element is selectively added into 7XXX aluminum alloy, and Zr and Al form ZrAl3The compound can effectively block the recrystallization process, refine recrystallized grains, and refine ZrAnd (5) melting and casting the structure.
The aluminum alloy liquid smelted by the method is led into a standing furnace for standing, one smelting furnace is generally used for 2-3 standing furnaces, the smelting capacity of the smelting furnace is greater than that of the standing furnace, so that the aluminum alloy liquid is fully supplied, and the temperature of the aluminum alloy liquid flowing into the standing furnace is controlled to be 780-850 ℃. And conveying the aluminum alloy liquid from the standing furnace to the front box through a launder, degassing, filtering and flowing into a tundish.
Adding hard particles with the size of 5 nanometers to 10 micrometers and the melting point higher than that of aluminum into the aluminum alloy liquid positioned in the tundish, and uniformly and dispersedly distributing the hard particles with the high melting point into the aluminum alloy liquid, wherein the amount of the added hard particles with the high melting point is 5-20 wt% of the aluminum alloy liquid.
The action mechanism of the high-melting-point nano/micron hard particles dispersed and distributed in the aluminum alloy matrix is as follows:
in the process of solidification and crystallization of aluminum alloy liquid, nano/micron hard particles at the grain boundary can effectively limit the grain growth through pinning effect, and refine grains; meanwhile, the nano/micron hard particles can also be used as effective heterogeneous nucleation points and excellent modifiers, so that the nucleation of the aluminum alloy liquid during solidification is effectively increased, the microstructure is optimized, and the microstructure of the formed aluminum alloy thin strip is as follows: the fine isometric crystal matrix structure and the dispersed hard particles play roles in dispersion strengthening, fine crystal strengthening and precipitation strengthening, thereby obviously improving the mechanical property of the aluminum alloy thin strip.
The hard particle species may be: titanium carbide (chemical formula: TiC, density: 4.93 g/cm)3Melting point: 3140 deg.C), titanium nitride (chemical formula: TiN, density: 5.44g/cm3Melting point: 2950 ℃), tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC, density: 15.63g/cm3Melting point: 2870 deg.c), silicon carbide (chemical formula: SiC, density: 3.2g/cm3Melting point: 2700 deg.c), boron carbide (chemical formula: b is4C, density: 2.52g/cm3Melting point: 2350 deg.c), silicon nitride (chemical formula: si3N4Density: 3.44g/cm3Melting point: 1900 deg.c), boron nitride (chemical formula: BN, density: 2.25g/cm3Melting point: 3000 ℃ C.), and the like.
During spray deposition, the aluminum alloy liquid flowing from the tundish is introduced into a slit type linear nozzle having a slit parallel to the center line of the roll shaft of the twin roll caster in an inert gas (e.g., N)2Ar) under the action of inert gas pressure of 0.8-2.0MPa, atomizing the aluminum alloy liquid flowing into the slit type linear nozzle into fine molten drops to be deposited on the surface of the double rollers, wherein the molten drops have thermodynamic behaviors such as heat conduction or heat radiation with the outside in the flying process and can be in a solid state, a semi-solid state or a liquid state; and then continuously casting the aluminum alloy strip by a double-roller thin strip casting machine to obtain the aluminum alloy cast strip with the thickness of 2-6mm and the width of 1000-2200 mm.
The spray deposition and double-roller thin strip casting and rolling process combines the atomization, spray deposition and double-roller casting and rolling of aluminum alloy liquid into one process, and can economically and efficiently prepare the aluminum alloy thin strip with uniform fine grain structure and excellent comprehensive performance.
Compared with the traditional horizontal type double-roller thin strip casting and rolling process, the injection deposition combined double-roller thin strip casting and rolling process has the following obvious advantages:
(1) the produced aluminum alloy thin strip has the microstructure characteristic of rapid solidification, almost has no macrosegregation and almost no anisotropy, has fine equiaxed crystal structure, and the mechanical property is greatly improved after heat treatment;
(2) the density of the produced aluminum alloy thin strip is high, the density of the aluminum alloy thin strip can easily reach 97-99% after the aluminum alloy thin strip is subjected to spray deposition and twin-roll thin strip casting rolling, and the cracking problem in the subsequent rolling process is avoided;
(3) the production efficiency is high, and the casting and rolling speed can reach more than 3 times of that of the traditional horizontal double-roller thin strip casting and rolling;
(4) the surface quality is excellent, and the problem of uneven cooling of the upper surface and the lower surface of the traditional horizontal double-roll thin strip casting can be avoided;
(5) the range of aluminum alloy varieties which can be produced is greatly widened, the aluminum alloy varieties which can be produced by the traditional horizontal type double-roller thin-strip casting and rolling are few, and because the aluminum alloy liquid is atomized, sprayed and deposited on the surface of the crystallization roller, the aluminum alloy can form uniform fine crystal structures, so that some alloys with wider solidification temperature ranges, such as 2XXX, 6XXX, 7XXX and the like, can be produced.
The aluminum alloy cast strip after water quenching and cooling enters a four-roll mill for first hot rolling after the end cutting of a pinch roll, the hot rolling temperature range is 340-390 ℃, and the reduction rate is less than or equal to 50 percent. In order to ensure that the aluminum alloy cast strip does not deviate and ensure the smooth production, the pinch roll has the functions of deviation rectification and centering.
