According to statistics data of China non-ferrous metal processing industry association, 2022 China produces and sells 260 ten thousand tons of photovoltaic aluminum profiles. The photovoltaic aluminum profile mainly comprises a solar panel frame aluminum profile and a support aluminum profile, wherein the frame aluminum profile is used for fixing and sealing a solar module, and plays roles in protecting the edge of glass, enhancing the sealing performance of the photovoltaic module and improving the overall strength of the photovoltaic module. The support aluminum profile is a support structure designed for placing, installing and fixing the solar cell panel in the photovoltaic power generation system.
The Chinese patent application with publication number CN112375941A discloses a solar frame aluminum alloy section and a processing technology thereof, wherein the aluminum alloy section comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.55-0.66% of Si, 0.15-0.20% of Fe, 0.16-0.21% of Cu, 0.02-0.05% of Mn, 0.55-0.60% of Mg, 0.15-0.20% of Cr and the balance of aluminum.

In the prior art, the requirements of the solar photovoltaic industry on photovoltaic aluminum profiles are higher and higher, on one hand, the thickness of the aluminum profiles is required to be thinner and thinner so as to lower the weight and the manufacturing cost of solar photovoltaic modules, and on the other hand, the strength of aluminum alloy is required to be higher and higher so as to meet the development of lightening and thinning of the photovoltaic aluminum profiles and improve the strength and the service life of photovoltaic power generation devices. The improvement of the strength of the aluminum alloy and the thinning of the wall thickness of the profile can lead to the reduction of the extrusion speed of the aluminum profile, and the extrusion production efficiency of the photovoltaic aluminum profile is reduced. Therefore, the method for reducing the deformation resistance of the large-diameter aluminum alloy casting rod is researched and developed to improve the extrusion speed and the production efficiency of the photovoltaic aluminum profile, and the method has great significance in meeting the great demand of the photovoltaic industry on the photovoltaic aluminum profile.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems and the shortcomings, and provides a large-diameter low-deformation-resistance aluminum alloy casting rod and a preparation method thereof.
The technical scheme of the invention is realized as follows:
The invention provides a large-diameter low-deformation-resistance aluminum alloy casting rod, which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.5 to 0.9 percent of Si, 0.4 to 0.7 percent of Mg, 0.05 to 0.15 percent of Mn, 0.05 to 0.15 percent of Cr, 0.02 to 0.03 percent of Ti, 0.004 to 0.006 percent of B, 0 to 0.2 percent of Cu, less than or equal to 0.2 percent of Fe, the balance of Al and unavoidable impurity elements, the single content of the unavoidable impurity elements is less than or equal to 0.05 percent, and the total content of the impurity elements is less than or equal to 0.15 percent.
Si and Mg are main strengthening elements of the aluminum alloy casting rod, and besides the solid solution strengthening effect of the Si and the Mg in the aluminum alloy casting rod, the strength of the photovoltaic aluminum profile can be obviously improved by precipitating Mg 2 Si strengthening phases through aging. Too low content of Si and Mg can lead to the strength of the photovoltaic aluminum profile meeting the requirements of non-photovoltaic industry, and the higher the content of Si and Mg, the higher the strength of the photovoltaic aluminum profile, but also can lead to the difficulty in extrusion of the aluminum alloy casting rod. Preferably, the Si content is 0.5-0.9% and the Mg content is 0.4-0.7%.
Mn and Cr can improve the strength of the photovoltaic aluminum profile in the aluminum alloy, and can improve the recrystallization temperature of the aluminum alloy casting rod by inhibiting recrystallization, thereby being beneficial to improving the heating and extrusion temperature of the aluminum alloy casting rod and improving the extrusion speed and production efficiency of the photovoltaic aluminum profile. The higher the Mn and Cr contents, the higher the recrystallization temperature of the aluminum alloy cast rod, but at the same time, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy cast rod is increased, and therefore, the Mn and Cr contents cannot be too high nor too low. Preferably, the Mn content is 0.05-0.15%, and the Cr content is 0.05-0.15%.
Ti and B are added into the aluminum alloy casting rod in the form of aluminum titanium boron alloy rods, and the main function is to refine grains of the aluminum alloy casting rod, improve uniformity of components of the aluminum alloy casting rod and improve extrusion performance of the aluminum alloy casting rod. The lower the content of Ti and B, the less ideal the grain refining effect, the higher the content of Ti and B, the finer the grains, but the higher the production cost. Preferably, the Ti content is 0.02-0.03% and the B content is 0.004-0.006%.
Cu has very strong strengthening effect in aluminum alloy, can improve the strength of photovoltaic aluminum profile through solid solution strengthening, and can improve the strength of photovoltaic aluminum profile through aging precipitation CuAl 2 phase. The higher the Cu content is, the higher the strength of the photovoltaic aluminum profile is, but the higher the Cu content is, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod is increased, and the photovoltaic aluminum profile is difficult to extrude. Therefore, the addition of Cu requires caution, and if the strength requirement for the photovoltaic aluminum profile is high, a proper amount of Cu may be added, and if the strength requirement is not particularly high, it is recommended that no Cu be added.
Fe is an inevitable impurity element in aluminum alloys. Fe can form coarse needle-shaped and flaky Fe-rich phases in the aluminum alloy, so that the extrusion difficulty of the aluminum alloy casting rod can be increased, an aluminum matrix can be split, a crack source and a crack propagation direction of the photovoltaic aluminum profile are formed, and the strength and the plasticity of the photovoltaic aluminum profile are seriously damaged. Therefore, in order to improve the extrusion performance of the aluminum alloy cast rod, it is necessary to strictly control the content of Fe. Preferably, the content of Fe is 0.2% or less.

The air holes and inclusions not only reduce the strength of the aluminum alloy, but also increase the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod, resulting in difficult extrusion. The traditional refining agent is mainly prepared by directly crushing and mixing raw materials such as sodium salt, fluoride salt, chloride salt, hexachloroethane and the like, and does not exert interaction among the raw materials, so that the melting point of the refining agent is high, and the deslagging efficiency is low. In order to improve the purity of the aluminum alloy casting rod and reduce the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod, the inventor develops a high-efficiency and environment-friendly refining agent through a large amount of experimental researches, the refining agent takes ZnCl 2 as a main component and is matched with a small amount of K 2CO3、NaNO3、KF、K2SO4、Li2SO4, wherein the mass ratio of K 2CO3 to KF is 2.38, the mass ratio of K 2SO4 to Li 2SO4 is 1.69, in order to prevent oxidation and volatilization of raw materials in a high-temperature heating process, the raw materials are firstly heated and melted at 1100-1200 ℃ under the protection of argon, then cooled, solidified and crushed into a powdery refining agent, the melting point of ZnCl 2 is about 290 ℃, and the melting point of NaNO 3 is 306.8 ℃, the melting point of K 2CO3 is 891 ℃, the melting point of KF is 858 ℃, the melting point of K 2SO4 is 1069 ℃, the melting point of Li 2SO4 is 859 ℃, and although the melting point of K 2CO3、KF、K2SO4、Li2SO4 is higher, KF 2CO3 and KF form KF.K 2CO3 eutectic with the melting point of only 688 ℃, K 2SO4 and Li 2SO4 form K 2SO4·Li2SO4 eutectic with the melting point of only 716 ℃, the melting point of the refining agent is greatly reduced, the refining agent is easier to melt in the aluminum alloy liquid, znCl 2 is decomposed into Cl 2,K2CO3, CO 2,NaNO3 is decomposed into N 2、CO2 and NO gas, and a large number of bubbles capture impurities in the aluminum alloy liquid in the floating process, thereby playing a slag removal effect. The K 2SO4·Li2SO4 eutectic is melted into liquid molten salt, has good wetting spheroidization effect on inclusions such as alumina, promotes the separation of the inclusions and aluminum liquid, and improves the deslagging efficiency. In addition, the refining agent does not contain sodium salt and hexachloroethane, only contains a small amount of fluoride salt, and is more environment-friendly to use.
Preferably, in the step (4), the purity of the argon is more than or equal to 99.99%, the purity of the chlorine is more than or equal to 99.9%, the volume percentage of the chlorine in the mixed gas is 3-5%, the flow rate of the mixed gas is 0.3-0.6 cubic meter/min, and the degassing time is 10-20 minutes.
The degassing of the furnace bottom air brick is to install a plurality of porous air bricks at the bottom of an aluminum melting furnace, then to introduce mixed gas composed of argon and chlorine into the aluminum alloy liquid in the furnace through the air bricks, the mixed gas is decomposed into tiny and uniform small bubbles after passing through the porous air bricks, the small bubbles capture hydrogen in the aluminum alloy liquid in the floating process, and then the aluminum alloy liquid is brought out by floating up, thereby playing a degassing role. Because the bottom of the aluminum melting furnace is uniformly provided with a plurality of porous air bricks, bubbles are uniformly distributed in the aluminum alloy liquid, and meanwhile, the bubbles have stirring effect on the aluminum alloy liquid when floating up, so that the dead angle of degassing of the aluminum alloy liquid in the furnace is avoided, and the degassing efficiency of the aluminum alloy liquid is improved. The greater the flow rate of the mixed gas, the longer the aeration time, and the better the degassing effect. Preferably, the flow rate of the mixed gas is 0.3-0.6 cubic meter/min, the degassing time is 10-20 min, the hydrogen content of the aluminum alloy liquid in the furnace can be reduced to be less than 0.2ml/100gAl, and the purity of the aluminum alloy liquid in the furnace can be greatly improved.

The mixed gas composed of argon and chlorine is crushed into tiny bubbles by a graphite rotor rotating at high speed in a degassing box and enters the aluminum alloy liquid, hydrogen atoms in the aluminum alloy liquid are continuously diffused into the bubbles by utilizing partial pressure difference of hydrogen between the aluminum alloy liquid and the bubbles, then float upwards along with the bubbles to escape from the aluminum alloy liquid, degassing is achieved, and after degassing by the degassing box, the hydrogen content of the aluminum alloy liquid can be reduced to below 0.08ml/100 gAl.
The filtering medium of the tubular filter box in the step (6) is a ceramic filter tube, the ceramic filter tube is formed by sintering silicon nitride ceramic particles with the particle size of 3-6mm and a binder at high temperature, a large number of tortuous pores are formed in the ceramic filter tube, and when aluminum alloy liquid flows through the ceramic filter tube, impurities are adsorbed or blocked on the surface of the ceramic filter tube and the inner walls of the pores, so that the filtering and impurity removing effects are achieved. The ceramic filter tube has high thermal strength, strong thermal shock resistance and thermal erosion resistance, large filtering quantity and high filtering efficiency. The structure and the use method of the tubular filter box can be checked by published literature data, and are not repeated here. The tubular filtration belongs to high-precision filtration, the removal rate of inclusions of more than 5 mu m in the aluminum alloy liquid after tubular filtration can reach more than 98%, and the slag content in the aluminum alloy can be reduced to 0.05mm 2/kgAl, so that the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy casting rod is greatly improved, and the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod is reduced.
In the step (8), the aluminum alloy casting rod is subjected to homogenization treatment, so that macro-micro segregation of elements in the aluminum alloy casting rod is eliminated, coarse intermetallic compounds are melted, internal stress of the casting rod is eliminated, deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod is reduced, and extrusion speed is improved. In the prior art, an isothermal heating mode is generally adopted to carry out homogenization treatment on an aluminum alloy casting rod, and the inventor finds that the isothermal heating homogenization mode leads the temperature rising speed of the aluminum alloy casting rod to be low, and particularly for large-size aluminum alloy casting rods, the temperature of the aluminum alloy casting rod does not reach the temperature set by a hearth in most of time although the heating time is longer, so that the homogenization effect of the aluminum alloy casting rod is seriously affected. The inventor further researches a lot of experiments to find that the aluminum alloy casting rod is firstly heated for 1-1.5 hours at 635+/-5 ℃ of the hearth, then the hearth temperature is reduced to 590+/-5 ℃ and is continuously heated for 3-4 hours, the temperature of the aluminum alloy casting rod is quickly increased to 590+/-5 ℃ by firstly heating at high temperature, and then the aluminum alloy casting rod is continuously heated for 3-4 hours at 590+/-5 ℃, so that the heating time is greatly shortened, the energy consumption is reduced, the production cost is reduced, the homogenizing effect of the aluminum alloy casting rod is better than that of the traditional isothermal heating mode, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod is greatly reduced, and the extrusion speed is improved.

As can be seen from Table 1, the refining agent of example 1 had a melting start temperature of 290℃and a melting end temperature of 716℃only. The refining agent of comparative example 1 had a melting start temperature of 564℃and a melting end temperature of 1249 ℃.

Verification example 2:
The hydrogen content and the slag content of the aluminum alloy liquids before casting of examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were measured on site using an HDA-V hydrogen meter and an Analyze PoDFA slag meter, and the results are shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2, the aluminum alloys of examples 1 to 4 had hydrogen contents of less than 0.08ml/100gAl and slag contents of less than 0.05mm 2/kg.

Verification example 3:
Samples were taken on the aluminum alloy cast bars obtained in examples 1 to 4 and comparative examples 1 to 4, and were processed into cylindrical test pieces having a diameter of 8 mm and a height of 10 mm, and then thermal compression tests were conducted on a GLEEBLE to 3800 thermal simulation tester at a heating temperature of 520 c, a compression load of 100kN, a compression deformation rate of 0.05 mm/s, and a maximum compression deformation amount of 70%, and the peak deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy cast bar test pieces was measured, and the results are shown in table 3. As can be seen from Table 3, the aluminum alloy cast bars of examples 1-4 each had a peak deformation resistance of less than 67MPa. Comparative examples 1 to 3 resulted in large deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy cast bars due to low cleanliness of the aluminum alloy cast bars, while comparative example 4 resulted in insufficient homogenization of the aluminum alloy cast bars due to the conventional isothermal heating homogenization process, resulting in a peak deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy cast bars of 5MPa or more. As can be seen by comparison, the invention can obviously reduce the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod by optimizing the preparation process.

And the highest extrusion speed of the aluminum alloy casting bars of comparative examples 1-3 is less than or equal to 14mm/s. Compared with the prior art, the invention reduces the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy casting rod by optimizing the casting process, and can obviously improve the extrusion speed of the aluminum alloy casting rod.
