Description

Method for integrally preparing aluminum alloy by utilizing semi-solid slurry plastic molding
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for integrally preparing aluminum alloy by utilizing semi-solid slurry plastic molding, belonging to the technical field of semi-solid molding.
Background
Semi-solid metal forming technology is proposed by Flemings et al, the university of hemp, china and technology university, and is regarded as an advanced metal forming technology, and is known as a 21 st generation metal forming technology due to the excellent characteristics of small solidification shrinkage, small segregation, high product quality, near-net forming and the like. At present, two main technological routes for semi-solid metal forming exist: one is thixotropic forming, pulping and forming are combined together; the other is rheology forming, which combines blank making and forming.
The high silicon aluminum alloy has the advantages of low thermal expansion coefficient, low density, high strength, good wear resistance, good casting performance and the like, and is widely applied to the industries of aviation, automobiles and the like. However, the as-cast alloy structure has coarse silicon phase, severely cracks the matrix, and simultaneously microcracks are easily generated in the aluminum matrix at the sharp corners of the primary crystal silicon in the deformation process, so that the plasticity and toughness of the alloy are reduced, and the application and development of the high-silicon aluminum alloy are restricted. Therefore, how to refine the high-silicon aluminum alloy structure by adopting an advanced preparation process, improve the morphology, the size and the distribution of a silicon phase, improve the comprehensive performance of the silicon phase, and finally prepare the high-silicon aluminum alloy material with excellent comprehensive performance becomes an important research point in recent years.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for integrally preparing aluminum alloy by utilizing semi-solid slurry plastic forming, which combines semi-solid slurry preparation and forming, and specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparing a semi-solid aluminum alloy cast ingot by adopting a rod rotating induction nucleation method: preparing an alloy melt, heating the alloy melt to 1000-1100 ℃, degassing and deslagging by using hexachloroethane, casting at 770-790 ℃, rotating a rod at 500-700 r/min, introducing water at 5-15L/min, and performing water quenching when the temperature of the melt is 570-585 ℃ to obtain an extruded billet.
(2) Removing surface oxide skin from the prepared semi-solid ingot, removing surface impurities, and heating in a heating furnace at 420-460 ℃ for 3-7 h.
In order to make the alloy metal flow more uniformly, the preheating temperature and the heat preservation time of the aluminum alloy extrusion billet are very important, through the preheating heat preservation treatment, the alloy components are uniform, the deformation resistance is lower, the alloy plasticity is good, the deformation processing is easy, and meanwhile, the step can ensure that the product obtains uniform and good tissue performance. Through a large number of experiments, verification and analysis. When the heating temperature is less than 420 ℃ and the heat preservation time is less than 3 hours, alloy elements cannot be well diffused, components are difficult to be homogenized, meanwhile, extrusion molding is difficult, when the heating temperature is more than 460 ℃ and the heat preservation time is more than 7 hours, crystal grains coarsen, and the tensile strength is reduced although the elongation is higher, so that the mechanical properties of the material are affected.
(3) Hot extrusion: the heated billet is transferred to a preheated extrusion barrel, and then the billet is extruded into an extrusion die cavity by an extruder to prepare an extrusion product.
Preferably, the water quenching temperature in the step (1) is 570-585 ℃; the diameter of the extruded billets is 90mm, and the height is 120-300 mm.
Preferably, in the step (3) of the invention, the temperature of the extrusion cylinder is 420-450 ℃, the temperature of the extrusion die is 430-470 ℃, the extrusion ratio is 2-10, and the extrusion speed is 4-9 mm/s.
The aim of preheating the extrusion cylinder is to keep the same with the preheated alloy to be extruded after preheating, so that the surface temperature of the extrusion part is prevented from being reduced, and the metal fluidity and the uniformity of the structure pattern are prevented from being influenced; when the extrusion cylinder is not preheated, the obtained product has uneven microstructure of alloy; in addition, the extrusion pad and the extrusion die are required to be preheated, the preheating temperature is 430-470 ℃, and the microstructure form and mechanical property of the product are relatively high; through a large number of experiments and analysis, when the preheating temperature of the extrusion cylinder is set to be 420-450 ℃, the extrusion speed is 4-9 mm/s, and the microstructure shape and mechanical property of the product are better; the extrusion speed is too low, the production efficiency is reduced, and when the extrusion speed is too low and is lower than 3mm/s, the surface of the extruded part is not smooth and is rough; the extrusion speed is too high, and the elongation is improved, but the tensile strength of the product is reduced, so that the product is easy to thermally crack.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:
the method has simple operation method, is convenient to control, improves the compactness of the aluminum alloy, refines the grain size and refines the silicon phase, the average grain size is 35 mu m, and obviously improves the mechanical property tensile strength and the elongation of the alloy.
After alloy extrusion, microstructure obtained by semi-solid alloy billet extrusion is even compared with the microstructure extruded by an as-cast billet, coarse dendrites disappear, crystal grains are obviously refined, and grain boundary strengthening and plasticity improvement are facilitated; the brittle and thick needle-shaped silicon phase is crushed and thinned, so that stress concentration formed by the tip of the needle-shaped silicon phase is reduced, the coordination of deformation is enhanced, and the improvement of alloy strength and plasticity is facilitated; meanwhile, after the alloy is extruded, casting defects such as air holes, looseness and the like are reduced.
