Description

High-efficiency iron removal refining method for aluminum-silicon alloy
Technical Field
The invention relates to a high-efficiency iron-removing refining method for aluminum-silicon alloy.
Background
In both the production of primary aluminum and the production of secondary aluminum, and in the smelting and pouring processes of castings, excessive Fe element can be melted in due to factors such as raw materials, tools and the like. The maximum solid solubility of Fe in aluminum is very low, the solubility is only 0.05wt.% at 660 ℃, and the precipitated Fe mainly forms various intermetallic compounds.
Aluminum-silicon alloy generally refers to aluminum alloy with silicon content of about 10%, and Fe in the aluminum-silicon alloy forms various intermetallic compounds with Al, si, mn and other elements, wherein a needle-shaped beta-Fe phase (Al 5 FeSi phase) is the most common intermetallic compound, which can lead to rapid reduction of alloy performance. Therefore, the Fe element is recognized as a harmful impurity element in the aluminum-silicon alloy, and the content of the Fe element is an important index for measuring the quality of the alloy.
Common iron removing methods for aluminum alloy include gravity sedimentation, flux, filtration, electromagnetic separation, centrifugal separation, etc., which all require the formation of a high density, iron-rich phase from the melt and then removal of the iron-rich phase by different principles. In addition, the method has the limitations of complicated operation, expensive equipment, low iron removal rate and the like, and is not applied and popularized in industrial production to date.
Chinese patent inventions CN103740947A, CN104060118a, CN1940101, etc. disclose various methods for removing iron by boride flux, and the main technical idea is to react boride with iron element in aluminum melt to produce high melting point and high density boron-iron compound. Chinese patent CN107794390a discloses a method for removing iron by composite addition of Mn and B elements, which promote the formation of precipitates in the Fe 2 B phase and deteriorate the β -Fe phase. The above method has the following technical problems that limit the practical production application: the high viscosity of borides such as borax and boron oxide leads to poor flux dispersibility and can not fully contact with iron in aluminum melt; b element in the aluminum melt can react with Al element preferentially to generate aluminum boron compound, the aluminum boron compound is not easy to separate when mixed with the aluminum melt in the sedimentation process, and the aluminum content in the aluminum boron compound deposition layer is very high, so that the aluminum yield is greatly reduced; and B inhibits the precipitation of primary iron phases, so that more Fe and Mn are left in a eutectic reaction temperature range, the deposition effect of the Fe phases is reduced, and the iron removal efficiency is low.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome the defects of the existing iron removal technology, the invention provides a novel method for removing iron from aluminum-silicon alloy.
The invention adopts the following technical scheme for realizing the purpose:
The aluminum-silicon alloy high-efficiency iron-removing refining method provided by the invention uses Bi and Mn as main iron-removing components. The modification and wrapping effect of Bi on the iron-rich phase in the Al-Si alloy is utilized to be composited with Mn element, so that the growth and deposition of the primary iron-rich phase in a polygonal form are promoted. Meanwhile, bi has obvious modification and refinement effects on eutectic silicon and eutectic iron-rich phases, and the comprehensive performance of the aluminum-silicon alloy is further improved. And the Bi-Al alloy has the property of liquid phase layering, and Bi is easy to separate from an Al-Si melt and recycle.
The invention provides a high-efficiency iron-removing refining method for aluminum-silicon alloy, which specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) Smelting aluminum-silicon alloy in a bottom pouring type smelting crucible at 720-800 ℃;
(2) Adding Al-Mn intermediate alloy according to the content of impurity iron in the smelted aluminum-silicon alloy, so that the mass ratio of Mn to Fe is 0.5-2:1, adding Bi accounting for 1-10% of the total mass of the aluminum-silicon alloy, smelting at 720-800 ℃ to ensure that the components are uniform;
(3) Cooling the alloy melt to 610-670 ℃, adding Bi accounting for 5-15% of the total mass of the aluminum-silicon alloy, uniformly mixing, preserving heat, standing for 30-120 minutes, separating out Fe impurities in the melt by using polygonal iron-rich phases and a small amount of Chinese character-shaped iron-rich phases, and precipitating the Fe impurities and Bi liquid drops to the bottom of a crucible;
(4) Cooling the alloy melt to 350-550 ℃, pouring Bi-rich melt from the bottom of a bottom pouring type smelting crucible after the aluminum-silicon alloy layer at the upper part of the melt is solidified, and filtering to obtain high-purity Bi;
(5) And (3) raising the temperature of the aluminum-silicon alloy in the crucible to 670-800 ℃ again for smelting, and adopting a tilting pouring method to pour ingots or directly pour castings after filtering the refined aluminum-silicon melt.
Further, in the step (2), the content of manganese in the Al-Mn master alloy is 9% -11%.
And (3) filtering out particles in the Bi-rich melt by adopting a ceramic filter screen in the step (4).
Further, the high purity Bi obtained in the step (4) can be reused.
Further, in the step (5), a ceramic filter screen is adopted to filter out sediment at the bottom of the aluminum silicon melt during casting.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
According to the invention, elements such as Bi, mn and the like are added in the refining process of the aluminum-silicon alloy, so that the aim of removing iron with high efficiency is fulfilled. Mn can inhibit the growth of needle-like primary beta iron-rich phase in aluminium-silicon alloy, so that impurity iron can be grown in polygonal or Chinese character form iron-rich phase form. The Bi element can further promote the growth of the primary iron-rich phase in a polygonal form, and meanwhile, the eutectic silicon and the eutectic iron-rich phase can be refined. Meanwhile, al-Bi is a liquid-phase immiscible alloy, and sufficient Bi is added to wrap the iron-rich phase and deposit the iron-rich phase at the bottom of the crucible. Si in the alloy can enlarge an Al-Bi liquid phase immiscible region, so that Bi liquid drops are easier to polymerize and coarsen in a melt, and the sedimentation capacity of the Bi liquid drops is improved. In addition, bi has obvious density difference and melting point difference with elements such as Al, si and the like, and Bi is easy to separate and recycle from an Al-Si melt. The method can completely eliminate needle-shaped iron-rich phases and primary iron-rich phases, and after the aluminum-silicon alloy is treated by the method, the primary iron removal rate reaches more than 50 percent, and simultaneously eutectic silicon and symbiotic iron phases can be refined. The method has simple process, and the metal Bi can be recycled in a large proportion after simple filtration.
