Description
L'invention concerne des tôles ou bandes laminées en alliage à base d'Al destinées à l'emboutissage et/ou l' étirage et présentant des caractéristiques mécaniques de résistance élevées ainsi qu'une bonne isotropie (faible taux de cornes) et une bonne formabilité à froid.The invention relates to sheets or strips laminated from Al-based alloy intended for stamping and / or drawing and having high strength mechanical characteristics as well as good isotropy (low rate of horns) and good cold formability.
On sait que les alliages habituellement utillisés pour la fabrication de corps de boites étirées sont les alliages 3004 ou 3104, suivant les désignations de l'Aluminum Association.It is known that the alloys usually used for the manufacture of drawn box bodies are alloys 3004 or 3104, according to the designations of the Aluminum Association.
Or, l'évolution actuelle pousse à rechercher des alliages à la fois plus résistants mécaniquement, ce qui permet corrélativement de diminuer les épaisseurs de paroi pour une application donnée, et plus isotropes c'est-à-dire à faible taux de cornes lors de l'emboutissage et/ou de l'étirage afin d'améliorer le taux d'utilisation de l'alliage, tout en restant suffisamment formables à froid. Or, pour les alliages classiques cités ci-dessus, la première et les 2 dernières propriétés sont relativement contradictoires.However, current developments push to seek alloys which are both more resistant mechanically, which correlatively makes it possible to reduce the wall thicknesses for a given application, and more isotropic, that is to say at low rate of horns during stamping and / or drawing in order to improve the utilization rate of the alloy, while remaining sufficiently cold formable. However, for the conventional alloys mentioned above, the first and the last 2 properties are relatively contradictory.
Ainsi dans le brevet US-A-4 318 755 des alliages de ce type sont revendiqués mais leurs caractéristiques mécaniques à l'état écroui restent relativement modestes R: 280-300 Mpa, E 0,2 : 250-280 Mpa et A% : 2-4% pour garantir une formabilité en emboutissage-étirage acceptable, tout en conservant une bonne isotropie.
Le brevet EP 0121 620 décrit un alliage Al Mg Mn destiné à la fabrication de corps, de couvercles et d'anneaux pour boîtes de boisson durcissable par cuisson du vernis (effet de « bake hardening »), de composition (% en poids) :
Les alliages à base d'Al selon l'invention, qui présentent à la fois des caractéristiques mécaniques élevées, une bonne isotropie et une bonne formabilité appartiennent à deux familles distinctes, l'une dérivée des alliages 3004 classiques objet de la présente invention, l'autre objet de la demande divisionnaire n° 95105950.0, contenant essentiellement des additions de Fe et de Mg.Thus in patent US-A-4 318 755 alloys of this type are claimed but their mechanical characteristics in the hardened state remain relatively modest R: 280-300 Mpa, E 0.2: 250-280 Mpa and A%: 2-4% to guarantee acceptable formability in drawing and drawing, while retaining good isotropy.
Patent EP 0121 620 describes an Al Mg Mn alloy intended for the manufacture of bodies, lids and rings for cans of beverage curable by cooking the varnish ("bake hardening" effect), of composition (% by weight):
The Al-based alloys according to the invention, which exhibit both high mechanical characteristics, good isotropy and good formability belong to two distinct families, one derived from the conventional 3004 alloys which are the subject of the present invention, Another subject of divisional application no. 95105950.0, essentially containing additions of Fe and Mg.
Les alliages de la présente invention se distinguent de l'art antérieur par une teneur en Mn « classique » associée à une basse teneur en fer. De plus, une teneur en Cu relativement élevée est préférée.The alloys of the present invention are distinguished from the prior art by a “classic” Mn content associated with a low iron content. In addition, a relatively high Cu content is preferred.
De manière plus précise, les tôles ou bandes selon l'invention ont les compositions pondérales suivantes (%) :
De plus, il a été observé que, de préférence, les teneurs en Mn, Fe et Mg doivent être limitées, pour éviter la précipitation grossière de composés primaires, précipités qui sont néfastes et provoquent des défauts lors des opérations ultérieures de laminage et/ou emboutissage-étirage ; dans ce cas, la relation à observer est la suivante :
Le Cu est maintenu en dessous de 0,6 % pour respecter les normes d'alimentarité (arrêté du 27 août 1987), mais est, de préférence, tenu supérieur à 0,20% ou même 0,25% pour obtenir les hautes caractéristiques mécaniques souhaitées lors de la cuisson des revêtements.
Au-dessus de 0,35 % de Cr, il y a apparition de composés intermétalliques primaires grossiers néfastes à la formabilité par effet d'endommagement. Les limites supérieures en Ti et V sont justifiées par cette même raison.Cu is kept below 0.6% to meet food standards (decree of August 27, 1987), but is preferably held above 0.20% or even 0.25% to obtain the high characteristics mechanical properties required when firing the coverings.
Above 0.35% Cr, there is the appearance of coarse primary intermetallic compounds harmful to formability by damaging effect. The upper limits in Ti and V are justified for this same reason.
Une composition préférentielle contient de 1,2 à 1,6 % Mn, de 0,8 à 1,2 % Mg, de 0,2 à 0,6 % Cu, et jusqu'à 0,25 % Cr.A preferred composition contains from 1.2 to 1.6% Mn, from 0.8 to 1.2% Mg, from 0.2 to 0.6% Cu, and up to 0.25% Cr.
La mise en oeuvre des alliages selon l'invention est tout à fait analogue à celle des alliages 3004 et 3104, comme cela apparaîtra de façon détaillée dans les exemples.The use of the alloys according to the invention is completely analogous to that of the alloys 3004 and 3104, as will appear in detail in the examples.
La gamme de fabrication comporte donc essentiellement les opérations suivantes:
- coulée, généralement par coulée semi-continue en lingots ou coulée directe en bandes
- homogénéisation ou réchauffage
- laminage à chaud jusqu'à une épaisseur intermédiaire
- laminage à froid avec ou sans recuits intermédiaires ce qui fournit des ébauches adaptées aux opérations d'emboutissage et d'étirage.
- casting, generally by semi-continuous casting in ingots or direct casting in strips
- homogenization or reheating
- hot rolling to an intermediate thickness
- cold rolling with or without intermediate annealing which provides blanks suitable for stamping and drawing operations.
L'invention concerne également le procédé d'obtention d'une bande laminée, défini à la revendication 8.The invention also relates to the process for obtaining a laminated strip, defined in claim 8.
Il est à noter que les produits conservent une bonne isotropie même si les taux de déformation à froid dépassent 50%, ou même 60 ou 65% sans recuit(s) intermédiaire(s).It should be noted that the products retain good isotropy even if the rates of cold deformation exceed 50%, or even 60 or 65% without intermediate annealing (s).
Les différences essentielles entre les alliages 3004 classiques et les alliages selon l'invention résident dans des teneurs en Fe et/ou Si limitées, qui conduisent à des structures micrographiques sur produits laminés à chaud (en général des tôles ou bandes d'épaisseur supérieure à 3 mm) complètement différentes.The essential differences between the conventional 3004 alloys and the alloys according to the invention lie in limited Fe and / or Si contents, which lead to micrographic structures on hot-rolled products (generally sheets or strips of thickness greater than 3 mm) completely different.
L'alliage 3004 classique est caractérisé par l'existence d'une structure comportant, outre les précipités intermétalliques primaires grossiers situés dans les zones interdendritiques et les précipités secondaires intragranulaires de fines "bandes blanches", exemptes de précipités, dans les zones interdendritiques. Au contraire, les alliages selon l'invention présentent des microstructures analogues, mais en l'absence totale de "bandes blanches".The classic 3004 alloy is characterized by the existence of a structure comprising, in addition to the coarse primary intermetallic precipitates situated in the interdendritic zones and the intragranular secondary precipitates, fine "white bands", free of precipitates, in the interdendritic zones. On the contrary, the alloys according to the invention have similar microstructures, but in the total absence of "white bands".
Les alliages selon l'invention sont donc caractérisés par une répartition très homogène des précipités primaires et secondaires dans une matrice à base d'Al dès le stade du lingot.The alloys according to the invention are therefore characterized by a very homogeneous distribution of the primary and secondary precipitates in an Al-based matrix from the ingot stage.
Les figures 1, 2 et 3 sont des micrographies au grandissement X400 respectivement de l'alliage classique 3004 (exemple 0) et des alliages des exemples 1 (ou 3) et 2, selon l'invention, à l'état brut de laminage à chaud.FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 are micrographs at magnification X400 respectively of the conventional alloy 3004 (example 0) and of the alloys of examples 1 (or 3) and 2, according to the invention, in the raw state of rolling to hot.
La figure 4 est un profil schématique de la répartition des précipités (fraction volumique en %) en fonction de la distance(en µm) comptée à partir d'une zone interdendritique sur une coupe transversale d'une dendrite ayant environ 95 µm de large pour un alliage 3004 classique (trait épais) et un alliage selon l'invention (trait mince).Figure 4 is a schematic profile of the distribution of precipitates (volume fraction in%) as a function of the distance (in µm) counted from an interdendritic zone on a cross section of a dendrite having about 95 µm wide for a conventional 3004 alloy (thick line) and an alloy according to the invention (thin line).
L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide des exemples suivants, comparés à un alliage 3004 pris comme référence.
Dans ces exemples, le matériau obtenu est caractérisé par ses caractéristiques mécaniques de traction (sens travers), par l'indice de cornes S 45/90 tel que défini ci-après, et les valeurs de LDR et LIR étalement définis ci-après.

H étant la hauteur de l'embouti cylindrique dans une direction faisant un angle α avec la direction de laminage et

Le LIR (limiting ironing ratio) en % est la valeur nominale du rapport
The LIR (limiting ironing ratio) in% is the nominal value of the ratio

Une simulation de la cuisson des vernis a été effectuée par maintien de 10 minutes à 204°C (état H 28).The alloys, the chemical composition of which is given in Table I, were cast in trays of 1100 x 300 x 2650 mm3, homogenized or reheated, scalped, hot rolled up to 3mm thick and cold up to 0.3 mm thick, with or without intermediate annealing under the conditions detailed in Table 2 (H lx state).
A simulation of the firing of the varnishes was carried out by maintaining for 10 minutes at 204 ° C. (state H 28).
Les résultats obtenus sont reportés au tableau 3.The results obtained are reported in Table 3.
