Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy, in particular to an aluminum alloy and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background

At present, the length of an aluminum alloy section for vehicles, such as an aluminum alloy section for a new energy battery box, is mostly between 1000 and 2500mm, and because the aluminum alloy section needs to meet the matching requirements between the sections and other parts, the section of the section is mostly in a complex multi-cavity thin-wall structure, and the aluminum alloy section has strict requirements on shape and position and size precision. At present, the yield strength of the aluminum alloy is mostly about 260MPa, so that no method is provided for further improving the related performance, meeting the requirements of wall reduction and realizing the purposes of light weight and production of complex multi-cavity thin-wall aluminum alloy sections.
It is therefore desirable to provide a thin-walled aluminum alloy suitable for the manufacture of complex multi-cavities.

Therefore, the aluminum alloy provided by the invention has the advantages that through the compounding of the raw materials, the aluminum alloy has high strength, excellent thermal stability, stress corrosion resistance, spalling corrosion resistance, fatigue strength and high strength of a welded joint, has low quenching sensitivity, and is suitable for manufacturing complex multi-cavity thin-wall aluminum alloys.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the aluminum alloy.
The invention also provides an application of the aluminum alloy in the automotive section.
According to one aspect of the invention, the aluminum alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.05-0.30% of Cu, 0.25-0.35% of Mn, 0.10-0.13% of Cr, 0.02-0.08% of La, 0.02-0.08% of Zr, 0.78-0.88% of Si, 0.62-0.82% of Mg, 0.010-0.04% of Ti and the balance of Al and impurities;
the aluminum alloy of the invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
1. the invention solves the contradiction between the strength, the extrusion performance and the comprehensive performance of the aluminum alloy by designing the specific alloy composition, so that the aluminum alloy has certain strength and excellent extrusion and comprehensive application performance. The tensile strength of the aluminum alloy provided by the invention is 300-400MPa, and the requirements of complex multi-cavity thin-wall aluminum alloy are met.
2. In aluminum alloys, Si and Mg are the main alloying elements forming the strengthening phase, and both form Mg when present together2Si as an equivalent strengthening phase, Mg2The Si precipitation phase is easy to dissolve in a solid state, so the solid solution heat treatment is simple, the solid solution effect can be achieved by adopting an on-line quenching mode, and the tensile strength is increased along with the increase of the contents of Si and Mg. The proper amount of Si element in the aluminum alloy makes full use of Mg to form Mg2When the Si precipitates a strengthening phase, the residual Si not only can improve the age hardening effect of the material, but also can improve the extrusion performance of the material and increase the high-temperature fluidity of the alloy, so that the difficulty of extruding the hollow thin-wall profiled bar by the material is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, the extrusion is carried out on-line quenching (such as strong air cooling, water mist cooling and water cooling) without sacrificing the mechanical property, so that the dimensional precision and the mechanical property of the final product can be ensured.
The Cu can improve the dispersion degree of a precipitation phase in the aluminum alloy and also can play a role in solid solution strengthening, the application range of the invention is controlled to be 0.05-0.30%, so that the alloy has good comprehensive performance, and the addition amount of the Cu is controlled on the premise of ensuring high strength.
4, Mn can play a certain strengthening effect in the alloy and simultaneously can also be MnAl in the homogenization treatment process6The dispersed phase is precipitated and can effectively prevent the recrystallization of crystal grains during the hot working or heat treatment process, thereby promoting the material to form fibrous structures.
La can effectively refine the crystal grains of the cast rod in the casting stage, the strength and the toughness of the material and improve the processing performance of the material, so that the material is not easy to crack in the extrusion process, and the formed Al-La compound can also become Mg2The Si precipitates the nucleation points of the strengthening phase, further improves the strength of the material, can effectively refine the grains of the welding line in the welding process, and improves the welding strength of the material. However, excessive La is agglomerated with Ti to affect the casting grains and acts with Si to affect the strengthening phase, and is concentrated on the grain boundary to affect the corrosion resistance of the material, so the addition amount is strictly controlled.
6. The composite addition of Zr can effectively reduce the cost while ensuring the favorable effect of a dispersed phase, and more importantly, the composite addition of Zr can better control the crystal grains of the material and improve the strength of the material through experimental verification.
The Ti has the main functions of refining the grain structure of the welding seam, reducing the welding crack tendency and improving the welding seam strength.

Test examples
The results of the performance tests of examples 2 and 4 and comparative examples 2 and 4 and 6 are shown in Table 1
TABLE 1 aluminum alloy Properties
And (4) testing standard:
extrusion property: the multi-cavity hollow thin-wall profiled bar can be extruded, and the solid solution effect can be achieved by adopting on-line strong wind, water mist and water cooling quenching. The cross section of the drawing can be extruded, and the correlation performance requirements can be met. The extrusion speed is 2 mm/s-8 mm/s.
Tensile property: in the state of T6, the tensile strength Rm is more than or equal to 320Mpa, the yield strength Rp0.2 is more than or equal to 300Mpa, and the elongation delta after fracture is more than or equal to 10%. Thermal stability: the test is carried out according to the test method GB/T228.1-2010, and a 50mm gauge length extensometer is adopted. The stretching speed is 5mm/min, and the yield strength Rp0.2 is more than or equal to 290MPa after the temperature is maintained for 100 hours at 150 ℃.
Stress corrosion resistance: the stress corrosion index Issrt is less than or equal to 5 percent according to the test of the GBT 15790.7-2017 test method.
Exfoliation corrosion resistance: the test is carried out according to the GBT 22639-2008 test method, and the PA level is reached.
From the test results in table 1, it can be seen that in comparative example 2, excessive Cu affects the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy, and also increases the welding hot crack tendency, as well as the press quenching sensitivity and the press deformation resistance, and seriously affects the press property and the welding property.
The test results in table 1 show that excessive Mn and Cr in comparative example 4 can cause severe segregation, which affects the extrusion performance of the material, greatly improves the extrusion quenching sensitivity, and conventional water mist cooling cannot meet the cooling requirements.
As shown in the test results in Table 1, in comparative example 6, the La content is low, and the La phase can effectively refine the crystal grains of the cast rod in the casting stage and improve the hot crack resistance tendency, so that the welding performance of comparative example 6 is obviously reduced.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
