Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the aluminum alloy processing technology field, particularly a kind of 7xxx line aluminium alloy semi-continuous casting device and use the casting method of its device.
Background technology
The 7xxx line aluminium alloy is important aeronautic structure material, have high strength, low-density and higher fracture toughness, the expansion of antifatigue crackle and stress corrosion performance, be widely used in primary structure member important in the aircaft configuration, as fuselage frame beam, horizontal tail integral panel, upper limb covering, keel bar, ejector seat and guide rail thereof etc.Also has great application potential at aspects such as small-sized air-to-air missile, antitank missile, large span military floating bridges.The technology of preparing of 7xxx line aluminium alloy is the research and the focus of attention of domestic and international aluminium alloy manufacture field always.
Semicontinuous casting technique is one of conventional method of producing at present the aluminium alloy strand, although have that strand mills that the face amount is big, solidified structure is thick, a problem such as inside and outside structure property lack of homogeneity and segregation are serious, increased the following process difficulty, can't reach desirable production requirement, but the semi-continuous casting method remains the casting method that present domestic aluminium processing enterprise generally adopts.This method is very big for 7xxx aluminium alloy plate ingot casting difficulty, except that surface quality difference and inside and outside defective are many, because this is that alloy two-phase section temperature range is wide, hot cracking tendency is big, in the high-temperature brittleness district, easily form fire check, the duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy elastic modelling quantity is big simultaneously, plasticity is poor, the thermal stress that produces in the cooling procedure is big, when formation of crack occurring, its intensity reduces rapidly makes crackle be able to rapid expansion, therefore the explosion phenomenon often occurs in the put procedure of strand after casting and casting, yield rate is extremely low.How to obtain that surface quality is good, interior tissue crystal grain is tiny, segregation is little, especially low stress, indehiscent 7xxx line aluminium alloy strand technology of preparing are the focuses that people pay close attention to always.
Adopt rapid solidification/powder metallurgic method can prepare the 7xxx line aluminium alloy, the alloy grain of acquisition is tiny, composition is even, intensity height, unstressed concentration phenomenon, but this method is difficult to prepare the large scale material, production cost height, and zinc content sintering difficulty when high.
Reaction-injection moulding is the alloy blank-making method that develops on the powder metallurgy process basis, and the cooling velocity of this method is higher, can reach 10
2～4℃/s, kept that crystal grain is tiny, even tissue, stress is little and can suppress advantages such as segregation, but this method lumber recovery is low, production cost is high, strand air content height is not suitable for the preparation of large-scale industry alloy.
In traditional semi-continuous casting process, reduce casting speed, reduce the secondary intensity of cooling, adopt short crystallizer and hot direct casting fabrication technique, obtain less liquid point depth, reduce D.C.casting strand internal-external temperature difference, can reduce the tendentiousness that crackle forms.But selection of process parameters such as casting speed, crystallizer height are subjected to the restriction of alloy species, a plurality of selection of process parameters need be considered as a whole simultaneously, therefore under certain process conditions, effectively solve relatively difficulty of strand crack problem by adjusting the common process condition.
Electromagnetic casting (EMC, ElectroMagnetic Casting) technology is to be the Lorentz force that the intermediate frequency alternating magnetic field of 2000～3000Hz produces in aluminium melt surface zone by applying frequency, inwardly oppress liquid metal, make melt break away from crystallizer, avoid once cooling off, directly the secondary cooled and solidified is shaped, and obtains the strand of segregation-free, any surface finish.But this method is high to the stability requirement of casting machine, and casting machine is a shake slightly, and casting billet surface then forms ripple, and the foundation of casting beginning process is very difficult, has therefore limited the application of this technology in industry.
Cui Jianzhong etc. apply the low frequency electromagnetic field that frequency is 15～50Hz in the D.C.casting process, prepared 7075,7A60 duralumin, hard alumin ium alloy strand.The electromagnetic confinement power that low frequency magnetic field produces reduces the pressure that contacts with crystallizer, has reduced intensity of cooling one time, eliminates the surface segregation knurl, improves surface quality (seeing Chinese patent CN1425520A).The function composite by electromagnetic stirring that low frequency magnetic field produces is crystal grain thinning, elimination element segregation on the one hand, reduces liquid point depth on the other hand, reduces the temperature difference on the crystal region cross section, and the strand internal stress reduces, and the trend of crackle reduces.Adopt this method can effectively improve 7xxx aluminium alloy slab quality, alleviate the cracking phenomena in the strand casting process, but the explosion phenomenon happens occasionally still in put procedure.
Korean Patent KR2002091532-A proposition applies the aluminium alloy strand of the aluminium alloy soft-contact electromagnetic D.C.casting method acquisition free of surface defects of electromagnetic field of high frequency outside the crystallizer that cracks, the restraining force of utilizing high frequency magnetic field to produce realizes soft contact, alleviate intensity of cooling one time, the induction heat of high frequency magnetic field generation simultaneously reduces initial solidification position and liquid point depth, reduce the temperature difference on the strand cross section, help alleviating the stress concentration phenomenon that produces in the casting process, but strong induction heat effect makes its interior tissue thick, and the element segregation problem does not effectively solve yet; Korean Patent KR2005064741-A adds a rotation stirring magnetic field and is used for the refinement interior tissue on the basis of Korean Patent KR2002091532-A, but because the element density variation is big, rotating excitation field still can't be eliminated element segregation phenomenon and subsidiary and come that grain-boundary strength is low, stress is concentrated the casting blank cleavage phenomenon that produces.
