Description

High-strength Al-Zn-Mg alloy with excellent comprehensive performance and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nonferrous metals and preparation thereof, in particular to a high-strength Al-Zn-Mg alloy with excellent comprehensive performance and a preparation method thereof, wherein the product has excellent mechanical property, corrosion property and welding property and is suitable for being used as a structural material of transportation equipment such as automobiles, railway vehicles, airplanes and the like.
Background
The Al-Zn-Mg alloy is a heat-treatable reinforced aluminum alloy, and is widely applied to the fields of high-speed rail, automobiles and aerospace due to the lower density, higher mechanical property, corrosion resistance and welding property. The elements Cu, zr, cr, mn and the like in the Al-Zn-Mg series alloy are main micro-alloy elements of the alloy. The Cu element can reduce the potential of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy grain boundary and improve the stress corrosion resistance, and the Cu element is beneficial to improving the mechanical property of the alloy. But the corrosion performance of the alloy decreases when the Cu content is more than 0.4wt.%. The microalloy elements Zr, cr and Mn are combined with Al to form a micro compound phase, so that recrystallization can be inhibited to obtain a fibrous structure and quenching sensitivity can be controlled. The Zr, cr and Mn elements may be added together or separately as microalloy elements. Zr should not exceed 0.2wt.% as a preferred alloying element. The Cr element content should be less than 0.3wt.%, and when the Cr content is large, coarse inter-crystalline insoluble phases are formed in the alloy, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the alloy. Although Cr has a smaller effect as a recrystallization-inhibiting element than Zr, the addition of Cr alone or in combination also has a recrystallization-inhibiting effect. The maximum addition amount of Mn element is 0.8wt.%, and the optimum addition amount of Mn is 0.05-0.4wt.%, when Mn is combined with Zr, mn+Zr content should be less than 0.4wt.%. The Fe and Si elements as unavoidable impurities of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy can be combined with Al to form an Al-Fe-Si compound phase, and since the compound phase easily becomes a crack starting point during the stress of the alloy, the Fe and Si contents in the Al-Zn-Mg alloy should be strictly controlled, wherein the Fe content should be less than 0.2wt.%, and the Si content should be less than 0.1wt.%.
In general, the strength or corrosion resistance of the Al-Zn-Mg alloy can be improved by a deformation mode and a heat treatment process, but the strength or corrosion resistance is difficult to be simultaneously improved, and the other performance is sacrificed. In addition, trace Cu can effectively improve the strength of the alloy in the process of producing the Al-Zn-Mg alloy, but Cu element can seriously influence the welding performance of the alloy.
The proportion of main elements and the types, contents and proportions of trace elements in the Al-Zn-Mg series alloy seriously affect the performance. The optimal design of alloy components is an important way to develop high-performance Al-Zn-Mg series alloy. Therefore, how to obtain high-performance Al-Zn-Mg alloy with higher mechanical property, corrosion resistance and welding property by blending the proportion of main element and trace element is a technical problem to be solved in the field.
