Description

6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method and aluminum alloy plate
Technical Field
The invention relates to an aluminum alloy plate and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to a 6000 series aluminum alloy plate and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The 6000 series aluminum alloy has the advantages of high strength, good corrosion resistance, good surface quality after baking, improved strength after baking and the like, and is increasingly applied to manufacturing of automobile body outer covering parts.
As a vehicle body panel, the surface quality of 6000 series aluminum alloy automobile panels is as important as the mechanical properties thereof, and whether the appearance of the automobile after painting is ideal or not is related, and Luo Pingwen defect is one of factors influencing the surface quality of the aluminum alloy automobile panels.
In addition, in the flanging process of the aluminum alloy plate, the interface between the coarse intermetallic compound and the aluminum plate matrix often causes serious stress concentration to induce the initiation of microcracks, so that the flanging performance of the alloy plate can be reduced, and the improvement of the flanging performance of the aluminum alloy plate is also of great significance.
Chinese patent publication No. CN101935785B, entitled "an aluminum alloy for high formability automotive body panels", discloses an aluminum alloy for 6000 series automotive body panels having excellent formability obtained by adjusting the contents and proportions of the main elements Si, mg, cu. The excellent formability described in this patent focuses only on yield strength, plasticity and work hardening rate, and does not focus on r-value, burring performance and rib performance which are closely related to the formation of automobile body panels.
Chinese patent document with publication No. CN105074028B, publication No. 2017, 6 and 6, entitled "aluminum alloy sheet excellent in characteristics after room temperature aging" discloses an aluminum alloy sheet excellent in properties after room temperature aging by adding an appropriate amount of Sn element to the chemical composition, and a method for manufacturing the sheet thereof, the material prepared therefrom having excellent formability. This patent achieves good technical results by adding the alloying element Sn, but it does not pay attention to how to improve the flanging performance of the sheet.
Therefore, in the prior art, 6000 series aluminum alloy plates have the problems of poor flanging performance, obvious Luo Pingwen defects on the surface after stamping and the like, and the large-scale popularization and application of 6000 series automobile plates are affected.
Based on this, it is desired to obtain a manufacturing method that imparts high formability, high flanging performance, and low rib defect to 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a manufacturing method of 6000 series aluminum alloy plates with high forming performance, high flanging performance and low rib defects, which adopts reasonable process design, and can obtain alloy plates with certain second phase quantity and proportion and grain size through soaking, hot rolling, coiling, optional intermediate annealing and cold rolling processes, further excite a recrystallization nucleation (PSN) effect in the subsequent solid solution pre-aging treatment process, weaken the recrystallization texture content, especially the content of cube texture components and Gaussian texture components, further remarkably improve the forming performance and flanging performance of the finally obtained aluminum alloy plates and improve the rib defects of the aluminum alloy plates.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet having high formability, high flanging performance and low rib defect, comprising the steps of:
(1) Homogenizing the cast ingot at 530-580 ℃;
(2) Directly carrying out hot rough rolling, hot finish rolling and hot finish rolling coiling on the ingot subjected to homogenization treatment, controlling the initial rolling temperature of the hot finish rolling to be 400-480 ℃ and controlling the hot finish rolling coiling temperature to be more than 250 ℃;
(3) Cold rolling: controlling cold rolling total variationThe shape quantity is 50-85%, and the obtained Mg in the cold-rolled sheet 2 The average size of the Si precipitated phase is 1.3-1.7 mu m, mg 2 Si precipitated phase surface density not less than 55000 pieces/mm 2
(4) Solution treatment;
(5) Pre-ageing treatment, and air cooling to obtain 6000 series aluminum alloy plate.
The inventors have found through extensive research that the second phase particles have a great influence on the recrystallization texture of 6000 series aluminum alloys, and when coarse second phase particles are precipitated in the alloy, the coarse second phase can excite recrystallization nucleation (PSN, particle Stimulated Nucleation), thereby promoting recrystallization, leading the recrystallized texture components to be mainly random textures, reducing the texture strength, and reducing the aggregation degree of the typical recrystallization texture neutral texture components and gaussian texture components, and reducing the rib defect degree. Furthermore, the inventors have found through studies that the grain size decreases with an increase in cold rolling reduction.
Based on the method, in order to overcome the technical problems of insufficient forming performance, poor flanging performance and easiness in occurrence of Luo Pingwen defect of the traditional 6000 series aluminum alloy plate, the manufacturing method disclosed by the invention can regulate and control coarse Mg in the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate by regulating and controlling soaking, hot rolling, coiling and optional intermediate annealing process parameters in the processing process on the premise of ensuring the process rationality 2 Si phase size and quantity, and fully exert coarse Mg 2 The particles induce a recrystallization nucleation (PSN, particle Stimulated Nucleation) effect in the Si phase during subsequent solid solution, thereby adjusting texture; secondly, the structure and the grain size can be further regulated and controlled by regulating and controlling the cold rolling reduction rate and the grain size in the subsequent cold rolling process so as to achieve the purposes of weakening and regulating and controlling the recrystallization structure type, proportion and space distribution and refining the grain size, thereby obtaining the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate with high forming property, high flanging property and low rib defect for the automobile body.
Specifically, unbalanced eutectic compatibility in an as-cast 6000 series aluminum alloy tends to cause uneven composition or structure, and causes the problems of poor plasticity in subsequent thermal deformation, and the like, which are certainThe forming processability of 6000 series aluminum alloy is restricted to a certain extent. Therefore, the technical proposal controls the soaking temperature in the homogenization process to exceed 530 ℃ so as to ensure that most of too coarse Mg 2 Si dissolves and at the same time aims to improve the hot workability of 6000 series aluminium alloys and to eliminate the effect of non-equilibrium eutectic phases in the alloy.
In addition, according to the research of the inventor, in the technical scheme, if the initial rolling temperature of the hot finish rolling is controlled to be 400-480 ℃, the size of the second phase in the cold-rolled sheet can be controlled to be 1.3-1.7 mu m, and the surface density of the second phase is more than 55000 pieces/mm; if the hot finish rolling start temperature is too high, the size of the precipitated second phase is too large and the number of the precipitated second phase is small; if the hot finish rolling start temperature is too low, the size of the precipitated second phase is too small.
In addition, according to the research of the inventor, in the technical scheme, if the cold rolling reduction is lower than 50%, coarse grains in the finished plate can be caused, on one hand, the outer plate surface of the alloy plate is subjected to flanging to generate defects such as microcracks or continuous necking, the flanging performance is reduced, and on the other hand, the plate is subjected to stamping forming to form an orange peel-shaped rough surface, and the surface quality is reduced; if the cold rolling reduction is higher than 85%, the local deformation region around the coarse second phase particles is too large, and this region becomes a microcrack initiation region during the forming process, which is disadvantageous for the forming performance. Therefore, the cold rolling reduction rate is controlled to be 50-85 percent.
In the technical scheme of the invention, the unbalanced eutectic phase in the ingot is dissolved by soaking the ingot at reasonable temperature and for a reasonable time, then the homogenized ingot is directly subjected to hot rough rolling, casting defects are eliminated or reduced, and is processed into an intermediate blank meeting the hot finish rolling condition, and then the hot finish rolling, intermediate annealing and cold rolling processes are controlled to obtain a cold-rolled sheet with a large number of coarse second phases and fine grains, and in the solid solution pre-aging process before subsequent delivery, on one hand, the content of recrystallization texture is weakened by a PSN mechanism excited by the coarse second phases; on the other hand, a finished product state plate with fine grains is obtained by regulating and controlling the cold rolling reduction rate, and then the 6000 aluminum alloy plate with high formability, high flanging property and low rib defect is obtained.
In other words, the manufacturing method provided by the invention is matched with a specific process, so that the number, distribution and grain size of coarse second phases in the aluminum alloy are effectively regulated and controlled, the texture and structure of the final finished product T4P 6000 series aluminum alloy plate are regulated and controlled, and the forming performance, flanging performance and rib defect of the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate are obviously improved.
Further, in the step (2) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, when the hot finish rolling coiling temperature is 250 to 340 ℃, intermediate annealing is performed before cold rolling in the step (3): controlling the temperature of the intermediate annealing to be 350-430 ℃, keeping the temperature for 1-4 hours, and then cooling to room temperature along with a furnace; when the hot finishing rolling coiling temperature is higher than 340 ℃, the step (3) is directly performed without intermediate annealing.
In order to facilitate the subsequent further cold working, an intermediate anneal may be added between the hot and cold rolling steps. In the technical scheme, the deformation resistance and easy realization of deformation can be reduced after the intermediate annealing. As a result of the study of the present inventors, it was found that when the hot finish rolling coiling temperature is 250 to 340 ℃, an intermediate annealing is required to control the second phase so that Mg 2 The average size of the Si precipitated phase is 1.3-1.7 mu m, and the surface density is more than or equal to 55000 pieces/mm 2 . Wherein when the intermediate annealing temperature is above 350 ℃, the second phase precipitation speed is relatively high, and the second phase size is relatively large; when the intermediate annealing temperature is below 350 ℃, the second phase precipitation speed is relatively slow, and the second phase particle size is relatively small, so that the occurrence of a PSN mechanism is not facilitated; however, when the intermediate annealing temperature is higher than 430 ℃, the size of the precipitated second phase particles is too large, and the second phase particles become initiation points of microcracks in the processing process, so that the subsequent plate forming is not facilitated, and meanwhile, the formation of subsequent PSN textures is not facilitated due to the small number of the second phase particles at high temperature.
In another embodiment, if the hot finishing rolling temperature is higher than 340 ℃, the intermediate annealing is not performed at this time, and Mg having an average size of 1.3 to 1.7 μm can be obtained 2 Si precipitated phase surface density not less than 55000 pieces/mm 2 Is a second phase of (c).
Further, in the step (2), when the intermediate annealing is performed, the temperature rise rate of the intermediate annealing is 13 to 17 ℃/h, and the temperature reduction rate of the intermediate annealing is 12 to 15 ℃/h.
Further, in the step (1) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the heat preservation time of the homogenization treatment is 6 to 16 hours.
Further, in the step (1) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the homogenization treatment temperature is 550 to 570 ℃.
Further, in the step (2) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method, the total deformation of hot rough rolling is controlled to be more than 70%; and/or the total deformation of the hot finish rolling is more than 80%.
Further, in the step (2) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the initial rolling temperature of the finish hot rolling is 440 to 480 ℃.
Further, in the step (3) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the total cold rolling deformation amount is controlled to be 60 to 85%.
Further, in the step (4) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method, the solid solution treatment temperature is 550-570 ℃, the solid solution temperature rise rate is 15-30 ℃/s, the solid solution treatment heat preservation time is 1-5 min, and the quenching mode is water cooling.
Further, in the step (5) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet manufacturing method of the present invention, the pre-aging treatment is performed within 3 minutes.
Further, in the step (5) of the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method, the pre-aging treatment is that the temperature is slowly reduced to the room temperature from 80-100 ℃ at the cooling rate of 1-4 ℃/h.
Accordingly, another object of the present invention is to provide a 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet having high formability, high flanging performance and low rib defect, which is easy to produce and low in production cost, and which has relatively high formability, high flanging performance and low Luo Pingwen defect, so that it can be effectively applied to the vehicle manufacturing industry, and meets the requirement of light weight of vehicles.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet having high formability, high flanging performance and low rib defect, which is manufactured by the manufacturing method of 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet.
Further, the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate provided by the invention has the average grain size of 20-32 mu m, the recrystallization texture density of 6.5-10.0, the content of cubic texture components is less than or equal to 8%, and the content of Gaussian texture components is less than or equal to 7%.

Compared with the prior art, the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method has the following advantages:
(1) According to the manufacturing method of the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate, a large amount of larger second phases can be obtained through homogenization, hot rolling, coiling, optional intermediate annealing and cold rolling processes, so that PSN mechanism recrystallization nucleation is induced in the subsequent solution treatment and pre-ageing processes, the density of recrystallization textures, especially the content of soft texture cube textures and hard texture Gaussian textures, is reduced, the forming performance of the plate is improved, and rib defect of the plate is reduced.

Table 4 shows the structure, texture and property measurements of the finished 6000 series aluminum alloy sheets of examples 1-8 and the finished aluminum alloy sheets of comparative examples 1-4.
Table 4.
As shown in tables 3 and 4, the 6xxx sheets prepared according to the process of examples 1-8 meet the requirements of the present invention with Mg having an average size of 1.3 to 1.7 μm in the cold rolled sheet 2 Si precipitated phase surface density not less than 55000 pieces/mm 2 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The average grain size of the finished-state plate is 20-32 mu m, the recrystallization texture density is 6.5-10.0, the content of cubic texture components is less than or equal to 8%, and the content of Gaussian texture components is less than or equal to 7%; the performance of the finished-state plate meets the conditions that the tensile strength is more than or equal to 210Mpa, the yield strength is more than or equal to 104Mpa, the elongation is more than or equal to 24%, the plastic strain ratio r value is more than or equal to 0.68, the delta r is less than or equal to 0.10, the flanging grades (the flanging factor is 0.6) are all rated as 1, and the Luo Pingwen grades are all rated as 1. In the comparative examples, however, the 6xxx series plates prepared by the processes of comparative examples 1 to 4 do not satisfy the process range of the present invention, resulting in the following results:
comparative example 1, in which the finish rolling coiling temperature of the finish rolling was 340 ℃ or lower but no intermediate annealing was performed, too many fine second phases were precipitated and the number of coarse second phases was too low, so that the PSN effect of the coarse second phases excited in the subsequent solid solution process was suppressed, and the recrystallized texture density was too high, and the formability of the final sheet was poor (r value was low, Δr value was high); especially, the content of the soft orientation component with the cube texture and the hard orientation component with the Gaussian texture are higher, and the two texture components are gathered and distributed alternately along the rolling direction, so that grains with the hard orientation with the Gaussian texture are not easy to deform and present ridges when 10% pre-stretching is carried out in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction, and the grains with the soft orientation with the cube texture are easy to deform and thin and present valleys, thereby having the rib defect of high and low fluctuation along the rolling direction.
In comparative example 2, the intermediate annealing temperature was too high, and the second phase was excessively large, so that the size of the coarse second phase was too large, and the coarse second phase was difficult to sufficiently melt back in the subsequent solid solution process, remained in the final product plate, and resulted in an increase in crack sources in the flanging process, and further resulted in poor flanging performance (flanging grade of 4).
Comparative example 3 has a poor flanging property (a flanging grade of 4) because the cold rolling reduction is too low, resulting in an excessively large grain size in the finished plate, and coarse grains promote the generation and propagation of shear bands during the flanging.
Comparative example 4 has too high deformation texture density in cold rolled sheet due to too high cold rolling reduction, and also has high recrystallization texture density in finished sheet due to genetic effect of texture, especially high content of soft orientation component of cubic texture and hard orientation component of gaussian texture, thereby causing serious Luo Pingwen defect (Luo Pingwen defect rating of 3).
Therefore, the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate manufacturing method with high formability, high flanging property and low rib defect can be seen, on one hand, through reasonably regulating and controlling the soaking, hot rolling, coiling and intermediate annealing technological parameters in the processing process, the coarse Mg in the 6000 series aluminum alloy plate is regulated and controlled 2 The size and the number of the Si precipitated phases fully exert coarse Mg 2 PSN effect of Si phase in the subsequent solid solution process, thereby adjusting texture; on the other hand, the texture and the grain size of the finished-state plate are further regulated and controlled by regulating and controlling the cold rolling reduction rate, and finally the recrystallization texture density and the recrystallization texture density of the finished-state plate are weakenedThe purpose of refining the grain size of the finished plate is to further obtain 6000 series aluminum alloy plates with high formability, high flanging property and low rib defect for automobile bodies.
