Abstract

Zur Erhöhung der Punktschweissbarkeit von Aluminiumbändern oder -blechen und zu deren Verwendung vor allem in Karosseriebau wird das Band oder Blech nach dem Warm- und Kaltwalzen auf eine Zwischendicke, welche der etwa 1,5 bis 2,5 fachen Enddicke des Bandes entspricht, in alkalischer Lösung gebeizt sowie anschliessend auf seine Enddicke unter Verwendung von Kaltwalzhilfsmitteln kaltgewalzt und gegebenenfalls dann wärmebehandelt.To increase the spot weldability of aluminum strips or sheets and for their use, particularly in body construction, the strip or sheet is alkaline after hot and cold rolling to an intermediate thickness which corresponds to about 1.5 to 2.5 times the final thickness of the strip Solution pickled and then cold rolled to its final thickness using cold rolling aids and then optionally heat treated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Aluminiumbandes oder -bleches, insbesondere eines Aluminiumbleches von etwa 0,1 bis 7 mm Dicke für den Karosseriebau, durch Warm- und Kaltwalzen sowie deren Verwendung.The invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum strip or sheet, in particular an aluminum sheet of approximately 0.1 to 7 mm thickness for body construction, by hot and cold rolling and the use thereof.

Der Einsatz von Aluminiumblechen zur Herstellung von Karosserieteilen wi-e z.B. Türen, Motorhauben, Heckklappen und Kotflügel ist bekannt. Im Hinblick auf die vorgesehenen Massnahmen zur Energieeinsparung, insbesondere auch der bereits bestehenden Gesetze in den Vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika, müssen u.a. die Fahrzeuge leichter gemacht werden, so dass mit dem vermehrten Einsatz von festen und gut umformbaren Aluminiumwerkstoffen für Karosserieteile zu rechnen ist.The use of aluminum sheets for the production of body parts such as e.g. Doors, bonnets, tailgates and fenders are known. With regard to the envisaged measures for energy saving, in particular also the existing laws in the United States of North America, u.a. the vehicles are made lighter, so that the increased use of solid and easily formable aluminum materials for body parts can be expected.

Bei der Fertigung von Automobilkarosserien wird als Verbindungsverfahren das Widerstandspunktschweissen eingesetzt, wobei die Standzeiten der Elektroden beim Verbinden von Stahlblechen mit ca. 10 000 - 15 000 Schweisspunkten angegeben werden. Entsprechende Werte beim Verbinden von Aluminium liegen derzeit etwa bei 100 - 500 Punkte. Danach müssen die Kupferelektroden von dem anlegierten Aluminium gereinigt werden.Resistance spot welding is used as the connection method in the manufacture of automobile bodies, with the service life of the electrodes being specified as approx. 10,000 - 15,000 welding points when connecting steel sheets. Corresponding values when joining aluminum are currently around 100 - 500 points. Then the copper electrodes have to be cleaned of the alloyed aluminum.

Die Ursache für die im Vergleich zur Stahlblechpunktschweissung verstärkte Legierungsbildung von Aluminium und Kupfer beim Vorgang der Widerstandspunktschweissung ist neben den unbeeinflussbaren physikalischen und thermodynamischen Eigenschaften der Metalle Aluminium und Kupfer der relativ hohe und stark schwankende Ueberganswiderstand von Kupferelektrode zum Aluminiumblech. Dieser ist in erster Linie auf die Dicke der Oxidschicht und die Zusammensetzung der Oberflächenschicht zurückzuführen. Bekanntlich hat der Uebergangswiderstand von Aluminium-Legierungen einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf deren Widerstandspunktschweissbarkeit, wobei die Hauptursachen für die Unregelmässigkeit der Schweissungen und für die kurzen Elektrodenstandzeiten bei unbehandelten Aluminiumblechen die hohen und ungleich- mässigen Uebergangswiderstände an den Stromübergangsstellen sind. Diese beeinflussen die Energieumsetzung im Sekundärkreis und bewirken, dass die Qualität der erstellten Verbindungen stark schwankt.The reason for the increased alloy formation of aluminum and copper in the process of resistance spot welding compared to sheet steel spot welding is, in addition to the uncontrollable physical and thermodynamic properties of the metals aluminum and copper, the relatively high and strongly fluctuating transition resistance from copper electrode to aluminum sheet. This is primarily due to the thickness of the oxide layer and the composition of the upper surface layer attributed. As is well known, the transition resistance of aluminum alloys has a significant influence on their resistance spot weldability, the main reasons for the irregularity of the welds and for the short electrode life in untreated aluminum sheets being the high and uneven transition resistances at the current transition points. These influence the energy conversion in the secondary circuit and cause the quality of the connections created to fluctuate greatly.

Eine Oberflächenbehandlung wie: Bürsten, Sandstrahlen, Nassstrahlen und Beizen der Aluminiumhalbzeuge vor dem Widerstandspunktschweissen setzen den Uebergangswiderstand stark herab. Allerdings wird dann z.B. bei Aluminiumblechen die gewalzte Oberfläche meist sehr aufgerauht, wodurch die Gleichmässigkeit der Oberfläche gestört wird und die etwa bei Karosserieteilen aufgebrachte Lackierschicht entsprechend unruhig wirkt.A surface treatment such as: brushing, sandblasting, wet blasting and pickling the semi-finished aluminum products before resistance spot welding greatly reduce the transition resistance. However, e.g. In the case of aluminum sheets, the rolled surface is usually very roughened, as a result of which the uniformity of the surface is disturbed and the coating layer applied to body parts, for example, has a correspondingly uneasy effect.

So hat sich der Erfinder das Ziel gesetzt, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen gut verformbarer Aluminiumbänder bzw. -bleche erhöhter Punktschweissbarkeit zu schaffen, die eine für die Verformung und Lackierung günstige Oberfläche aufweisen. Darüber hinaus soll deren Verwendbarkeit verbessert werden.Thus, the inventor has set himself the goal of creating a method for producing readily deformable aluminum strips or sheets with increased spot weldability, which have a surface that is favorable for deformation and painting. In addition, their usability should be improved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren gelöst, bei dem das Band oder Blech nach dem Warm- und Kaltwalzen auf eine Zwischendicke, welche der etwa 1,5 bis 2,5fachen Enddicke des Bandes entspricht, in alkalischer Lösung gebeizt sowie anschliessend auf seine Enddicke unter Verwendung von Kaltwalzhilfsmitteln kaltgewalzt und gegebenenfalls dann wärmebehandelt wird.This object is achieved by a process in which, after hot and cold rolling, the strip or sheet is pickled to an intermediate thickness, which corresponds to about 1.5 to 2.5 times the final thickness of the strip, in alkaline solution and then to its final thickness using of cold rolling aids is cold-rolled and then optionally heat-treated.

Ueberraschenderweise hat sich nämlich gezeigt, dass sich eine wesentliche Verbesserung der Punktschweissbarkeit durch Abtragen der Uebergangswiderstand erhöhenden Oberflächenschicht bei 1,5 bis 2,5facher Enddicke erzielen lässt. Die nachfolgenden Kaltwalzgänge und Wärmebehandlungen verschlechtern diese gute Punktschweissbarkeit nur unwesentlich. Man erhält somit die Möglichkeit, durch das anschliessende Walzen eine für das Umformen und Lackieren optimale Oberfläche einzustellen. Ausserdem ist dieser Weg im Vergleich zur Oberflächenbehandlung der fertiggewalzten Bänder wirtschaflticher, da die zu behandelnde Oberfläche im Zwischenstadium kleiner ist.Surprisingly, it has been shown that a significant improvement in spot weldability is achieved by removing the surfaces that increase the transition resistance layer at 1.5 to 2.5 times the final thickness. The subsequent cold rolling and heat treatments only slightly deteriorate this good spot weldability. This gives you the option of setting an optimal surface for forming and painting by the subsequent rolling. Moreover, this w ay wirtschaflticher compared to the surface treatment of the finish-rolled bands, since the surface to be treated is smaller in the intermediate stage.

Als besonders günstig haben sich dabei Aluminiumlegierungen der folgenden Zusammensetzungen erwiesen:

  • 1. 0,4 bis 1,5 % Magnesium, 0,3 bis 1,5 % Silizium, 0 bis 0,03 % Kupfer, 0 bis 0,5 % Eisen, 0 bis 1,0 % Mangan und Aluminium als Rest.

  • 3. 1.0 to 5.0% copper, 0.4 to 2.5% magnesium, 0 to 0.8% silicon, 0 to 0.7% iron, 0 to 1.5% manganese.

Diese werden dann warm- und kaltgewalzt, zwischengebeizt, fertiggewalzt und wärmebehandelt.These are then hot and cold rolled, intermediate pickled, finish rolled and heat treated.

Zum Beizen wird eine Lösung mit Natronlauge, Polyphosphat, Netzmittel und Inhibitoren bevorzugt.A solution with sodium hydroxide solution, polyphosphate, wetting agent and inhibitors is preferred for pickling.
