The following are specific examples.
Example 1
Providing ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite waste, removing impurities from the waste, and crushing to obtain crushed aggregates with the particle size of 3-5 mm;
providing an aluminum melt;
adding the crushed aggregates into an aluminum melt, heating the crushed aggregates to a semi-solid state at 720-760 ℃, and uniformly stirring and mixing to obtain slurry; stirring is carried out in a smelting furnace, wherein the ratio of the cross section area covered by a stirring device in the smelting furnace to the cross section area of the smelting furnace is 3:5, the stirring speed is 500rpm, and the stirring time is 30min;
casting the slurry to obtain the casting.
After the casting is subjected to a wagon and homogenization treatment (the homogenization temperature is 545 ℃ and the homogenization time is 7 h), the cast ingot is as shown in figure 1, and the material is uniform and compact and has no cracks and holes.
Example 2
Providing ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composite waste, removing impurities from the waste, and crushing to obtain crushed aggregates with the particle size of 3-5 mm;
providing an aluminum melt;
adding the crushed aggregates into an aluminum melt, heating the crushed aggregates to a semi-solid state at 720-760 ℃, and uniformly stirring and mixing to obtain slurry; stirring is carried out in a smelting furnace, the ratio of the cross-sectional area covered by a stirring device in the smelting furnace to the cross-sectional area of the smelting furnace is 4:5, the stirring speed is 1200rpm, and the stirring time is 10min;
casting the slurry to obtain the casting.
After the casting is subjected to a wagon and homogenization treatment (the homogenization temperature is 545 ℃ and the homogenization time is 7 h), the cast ingot is as shown in fig. 2, and the material is uniform and compact and has no cracks and holes.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 was substantially the same as example 1 except that the ratio of the cross-sectional area covered by the stirring device in the melting furnace to the cross-sectional area of the melting furnace was 1:3.
As a result, it was found that in comparative example 1, since the cross-sectional area covered by the stirring device was too small relative to the cross-sectional area of the melting furnace, even though stirring was carried out at 1200rpm, the surrounding semi-solid scraps were difficult to stir uniformly, aggregation was likely to occur, shrinkage cavity was likely to occur during casting due to the large viscosity, poor fluidity and many pores at the aggregation site of the semi-solid scraps, and many pores were present at the edges of the ingot as shown in FIG. 3 after the casting was carried out by a railroad car and homogenization treatment (homogenization temperature 545 ℃ C., homogenization time 7 h).
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 was substantially the same as example 1 except that the particle size of the crushed aggregates in comparative example 2 was 10mm to 15mm.
As a result, it was found that since the particle diameter of the crushed aggregates was too large, the heat absorption efficiency of the outer portions of the crushed aggregates was higher than that of the inner portions, resulting in melting of the outer portions of the crushed aggregates and falling of the ceramic particles, while the inner portions were still solid, although the slurry was uniformly stirred, the gas in the slurry was difficult to thoroughly remove and the fluidity of the slurry during casting was inferior to that of example 1, and after the slab was subjected to a homogenization treatment (homogenization temperature 545 ℃ C., homogenization time 7 h), fine voids were formed in the ingot as shown in FIG. 4.
The ingots obtained in the above examples and comparative examples were extruded and heat treated under the following conditions: the extrusion temperature is 450 ℃, the die temperature is 360 ℃, the extrusion ratio is 7, and the extrusion rate is 1mm/s; the conditions of the heat treatment are as follows: the solid solution temperature is 545 ℃, the solid solution time is 1h, the aging temperature is 175 ℃, and the aging time is 8h. As a result, it was found that the ingots of examples 1 and 2 were extruded without cracks, and the ingots of comparative examples 1 and 2 were extruded with cracks.
The heat-treated extrudates were tested and the results are shown in table 1.
