Definitions
- This invention concerns a method of producing improved aluminum alloy elongate products and components by operations including extrusion; and specifically improved elongated products and components that are particularly useful in the manufacture of vehicle primary structures.
- each subassembly being composed of several separate components that can include lineal frame members.
- Each subassembly is manufactured by joining together several members by means of a node structure that can be a cast, extruded, or sheet component.
- the frames and subassemblies can be assembled by adhesive bonding, welding, or mechanical fastening; or by combinations of these and other joining techniques.
- An example of such a vehicle frame structure is available in United States Patent No. 4,618,163, entitled "Automotive Chassis" the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Aluminum alloys are highly desirable for such vehicle frame constructions because they offer low density, good strength and corrosion resistance.
- aluminum alloys can be employed to improve the vehicle frame stiffness and performance characteristics.
- Use of aluminum provides the potential for environmental benefits and efficiencies through a lightweight aluminum vehicle frame that also demonstrates reduced fuel consumption due to the lightweighting.
- the application of aluminum alloy components in a vehicle frame presents an opportunity to ultimately recycle the aluminum components/subassemblies when the useful life of the vehicle is spent.
- an aluminum vehicle frame retains the perceived strength and crashworthiness typically associated with much heavier, conventional steel frame vehicle designs.
- crashworthiness in conjunction with reducing the overall vehicle weight and/or improving vehicle performance.
- crashworthiness reflects the ability of a vehicle to sustain some amount of collision impact without incurring unacceptable distortion of the passenger compartment or undue deceleration of the occupants.
- the structure Upon impact, the structure should deform in a prescribed manner; the energy of deformation absorbed by the structure should balance the kinetic energy of impact; the integrity of the passenger compartment should be maintained; and the primary structure should crush in such a manner as to minimize the occupant deceleration.
- Various standard tests can be used to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of an aluminum alloy for use in an automotive structure or other applications.
- tensile testing and standard formability tests can be used to provide information on strength and relative performance expectations, or a tear test can be used to examine fracture characteristics and provide a measure of the resistance to crack growth or toughness under either elastic or plastic stresses.
- tear test can be used to examine fracture characteristics and provide a measure of the resistance to crack growth or toughness under either elastic or plastic stresses.
- the static axial crush test provides the severe conditions necessary to examine a component's response to compressive loading.
- a specified length of an energy absorbing component is compressively loaded at a predetermined rate creating a final deformed component height of approximately half the original free length or less.
- Various modes of collapse can be experienced under these conditions; including: regular folding - stable collapse, irregular folding, and bending.
- the desired response for evaluation of energy absorbing components is stable axial collapse characterized by regular folding.
- the crushed sample is examined to determine material response to the severe deformation created during this test. It is generally desirable to demonstrate the ability to deform without cracking.
- samples are visually examined following static axial crush testing and assigned a rating based on the appearance of the deformed samples. The results of the examination are registered on a scale of from 1 to 3.
- a “3” indicates that the area proximate the fold shows evidence of open cracking that is often visible to the naked eye and roughening damage.
- a “3” rated material is considered to be unacceptable.
- a “2” indicates that the area proximate the folds or displaced side wall material of the extrusion is roughened and may be slightly cracked, but the basic integrity of the side wall is maintained.
- a sample rated "2” is better than one rated a "3” but not as good as a sample rated "1".
- a rating of "1" indicates that the crushed extrusion contains no cracking or roughened areas and the folds are substantially smooth; this is the preferred material response following the static axial crush test.
- the ability of a structure or structural component to absorb energy and deform in a desired, progressive manner under compressive loading during both static and dynamic crash testing is a function of both the component design, e.g., geometry, cross-section shape, size, length, thickness, joint types included in the assembly, and the properties of the material from which the component is manufactured, i.e., yield and ultimate tensile strength at the actual loading rate, modulus of elasticity, fracture behavior, etc.
- Various aluminum alloys are potential candidates for the manufacture of a primary body structure which includes such energy absorbing components. For example, 6XXX alloys, could be utilized in the production of extruded components for incorporation into aluminum intensive vehicles.
- the 6XXX series alloys are a popular family of aluminum alloys, designated as such in accordance with the Aluminum Association system wherein the 6XXX series refers to heat treatable aluminum alloys containing magnesium and silicon as their major alloying additions. Strengthening in the 6XXX alloys is accomplished through precipitation of Mg2Si or its precursors. The 6XXX are widely used in either the naturally aged -T4 or artificially aged -T6 tempers. This series of alloys also commonly includes other elements such as chromium, manganese, or copper, or combinations of these and other elements for purposes of forming additional phases or modifying the strengthening phase to provide improved property combinations.
- Alloy 6063 represents one of the most widely used 6XXX products. It provides typical yield strengths of 90 MPa [13 ksi], 145 MPa [21 ksi], and 215 MPa [31 ksi] in the naturally aged -T4 and artificially aged -T5 and -T6 tempers, respectively.
- both the -T5 and -T6 temper designations for extrusions can refer to a product which has been press benched and artificially aged in lieu of the strict definition of -T6 that includes a solution heat treatment and quenching operation.
- Quenching from elevated temperature processing operations is often critical to the development of properties and performance required of the final product.
- the objective of quenching is to retain the Mg, Si and other elements in the solid solution resulting from an elevated temperature operation such as extrusion.
- the product In the case of extrusion, the product is often quenched as it exits the extrusion press to avoid the additional cost associated with a separate solution heat treatment and quenching operation.
- Water quenching can be used to provide a fast cooling rate from the extrusion temperature. A fast cooling rate provides the best retention of the elements in solid solution.
- Air cooling is commonly used for press quenching of 6063 products.
- Air cooling reduces the distortion experienced and improves dimensional capability in hollow products.
- 6XXX products typically exhibit some quench sensitivity or loss of strength or other properties with reduced quench rates experienced in air quenching.
- Quench sensitivity is due to precipitation of elements from the solid solution during a slow quench. This precipitation typically occurs on grain boundaries and other heterogeneous sites in the microstructure. Precipitation during the quenching operation makes the solute unavailable for precipitation of strengthening phases during subsequent aging operations.
- a slow quench typically results in a loss of strength, toughness, formability or corrosion resistance.
- a slow quench can also adversely effect the fracture performance of the product by promoting low energy grain boundary fracture. Quench sensitivity with respect to yield strength is generally small in dilute alloys such as 6063.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,525,326 teaches that the quench sensitivity with respect to strength of a 6XXX alloy (Si, Fe, Cu, Mg) can be improved by the addition of vanadium.
- the patent discloses the addition of 0.05 to 0.2% vanadium and manganese in a concentration equal to 1/4 to 2/3 of the iron concentration to an aluminum alloy for the manufacture of extruded products. Notwithstanding such efforts to develop alloys that offer reduced quench sensitivity with respect to strength; there remains a need for alloys that provide reduced quench sensitivity with respect to static axial crush performance.
- An alloy that could be air quenched would provide the ability to produce thin walled hollow extruded shapes meeting the dimensional capabilities desired for assembly of automotive structures and providing the characteristics desired for use in the final structure including good strength and the ability to deform in a regular way in components designed to absorb energy when compressively loaded in the event of a collision; and allow production of these components in a cost effective manner.
- composition percentages set forth herein are by weight. Additionally, this aluminum alloy demonstrates relatively lower quench sensitive with respect to the static axial crush performance and provides good strength, formability and corrosion resistance. The alloy composition of this invention is therefore ideally suited for air quench yet capable of an increased range of shapes and improved dimensional capability.
- the quenching process can include the application of a forced air quenching of the extruded product in addition to the steps of homogenization, reheating, extrusion, natural and/or artificial aging.
- the alloy composition is formulated to contain about 0.45 to 0.7% magnesium, preferably about 0.48 to 0.64% magnesium, and about 0.35 to 0.6%, preferably about 0.4 to 0.51% silicon, and about 0.1 to 0.35%, preferably about 0.2% vanadium, and, 0.1 - 0.4% iron, preferably 0.15 to 0.3%, the balance substantially aluminum and incidental elements and impurities.
- the alloy composition of this invention is free from the intentional addition of copper and is consistent with the Aluminum Association composition standards for acceptable levels of impurities.
- the alloy is typically solidified into extrusion ingot by continuous casting or semi-continuous casting into a shape suitable for extrusion which is typically a cylindrical ingot billet.
- the ingot can be machined or scalped to remove surface imperfections, if desired, or it can be extruded without machining if the surface is suitable.
- the extrusion process produces a substantially reduced diameter but greatly increased length compared to the extrusion billet.
- the metal is typically subjected to thermal treatments to improve workability and properties.
- the as-cast billet can be homogenized above the Mg2Si solvus temperature to allow dissolution of existing Mg2Si particles and reduce chemical segregation resulting from the casting process. Following homogenization, ingot can be allowed to air cool. Prior to extrusion, billets are reheated to the hot working temperature and extruded by direct or indirect extrusion practices.
- extrusion be conducted at cylinder temperatures just before extrusion which are typically 50 - 100°F. less than that of the extrusion; typically within the range of about 700°F. up to about 1000°F., preferably at a temperature of 900°F.
- Extrusion circle size varies but the extrusion typically has a wall thickness of 1.5 mm and greater.
- the extrusion typically has ends cropped off and can be cut to desired lengths for subsequent operations.
- the extruded shape enters a quenching zone where it is then quenched, preferably by application of forced air cooling practices, that reduces the temperature of the extrusion to between approximately 250°F. to 450°F.
- the extruded product is at a temperature of about 350°F. as it exits the quenching zone.
- the cooling rate that is the change in temperature of the extruded product as it traverses the quench zone is ultimately a function of the geometry of the extruded component, the speed at which the extruded product traverses the quenching zone, and the air temperature.
- product was provided with a forced air quench to produce a cooling rate of 3 to 6°F./sec [2 to 3°C./sec].
- the extruded component can then be stretched about 1/4 to 1-1/2% to straighten it if desired.
- the extruded product is naturally aged. Suitable properties are achieved within a natural aging period between four and thirty days.
- the extruded component can be artificially aged to develop its strength properties.
- This typically includes heating above 250° or 270°F., typically above 300°F., for instance from about 330° to about 450°F. for a period of time from about an hour or a little less to about 10 or 15 hours, typically about 2 or 3 hours for temperatures about 350° to 400°F.
- the time used varies inversely with temperature (higher temperature for less time or lower temperature for longer time) and this develops so called peak or -T6 strength.
- Extrusions representing three combinations of aluminum alloy composition and thermal processing were prepared for evaluation. Samples of each composition were extruded using water quenching and air quenching.
- the alloys designated "A” and “B” are 6063 type compositions that do not contain copper. Samples “A” were homogenized and artificially aged using the practices recommended by the Aluminum Association for production of 6063-T6; homogenization 4 hours at 1075°F. and aging 8 hours at 350°F. All other process steps were identical to those used for production of the other example materials. Samples “B” were homogenized and artificially aged according to the process of the invention. Finally, the alloy of this invention is designated “C” and contains approximately 0.2 vanadium. Table I also provides the registered composition range for 6063 aluminum alloy.
- Table II sets forth the data obtained from the analysis of extruded product produced using water quenching.
- Three alloys, the commercially available 6063 (sample “A”), the 6063 type alloy (sample “B”), and the alloy of this invention (sample “C”) were used to produce extruded product using a conventional water quench process.
- the extruded product was then aged to the -T6 temper and evaluated using the static axial crush test and standard tensile tests.
- 3" sections of the extrusion were saw cut with ends parallel and subjected to axial displacement. This test rendered a crushed sample approximately 1.25" in height having one (1) severe fold.
- the deformed regions of the crushed product were then subject to a visual examination and assigned a crush rating as per the rating system described previously where a rating of "1" constitutes the desired outcome and a rating of "3" indicates the presence of cracking.
- the second column of Table II provides the results of a static axial crush test. As can be seen, all three alloys, when subject to water quenching, showed the preferred performance in the static axial crush test.
- Tables III and IV set forth the data obtained from the analysis of extruded product samples produced using forced air quenching. All three alloys; the 6063, the 6063 type, and the alloy of this invention were extruded using a forced air quench as described above. The extruded product samples were then aged to the -T6 temper and evaluated using the static axial crush test, longitudinal tensile tests, and test methods commonly used to indicate relative levels of fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and formability. The relative fracture toughness of these materials is indicated by comparing the unit propagation energy (UPE) values determined using the Kahn tear test. The relative corrosion resistance of these materials is compared through the use of bulk solution potential measurements.
- UEE unit propagation energy
- the relative formability of these materials was evaluated using the Olsen dome test under dry and lubricated conditions, and the guided bend test.
- the Olsen dome test is typically used to provide an indication of relative formability in sheet products.
- samples of the -T6 extrusion product were evaluated in the dry and lubricated conditions which simulate plane strain and equal biaxial forming conditions.
- a dry or lubricated punch is used to determine the dome height at which necking or failure occurs in the material under evaluation with a higher value indicating better relative formability.
- the guided bend test was originally developed to provide evaluation of formability under conditions designed to simulate sheet forming operations.
- the samples evaluated represent -T4 sheet product that are given a 10% prestrain to simulate deformation expected in drawing operations and are subsequently bent over mandrels of different radii.
- strip samples were evaluated in the -T6 condition and no prestrain was used.
- the desired outcome of this testing is the ability to bend over a smaller mandrel without cracking; data from this evaluation is typically expressed as a ratio of the limiting radius, R, over the thickness of the sample, t. In this case, a smaller R/t ratio indicates better relative formability.
- the resultant data as shown in Table III and Table IV demonstrates that the forced air cooled aluminum alloy extrusions of 6063 and 6063 type materials demonstrated reduced levels of performance in the static axial crush test (as compared to extrusions that were subject to water quenching), while the new alloy of this invention maintained desirable performance levels and demonstrated performance results similar to those obtained on spray water quenched product.
- the aluminum alloy of this invention exhibits improved toughness as indicated by the unit propagation energy, UPE, values measured by the Kahn tear test with no adverse effect on strength. Typically in aluminum alloys, as toughness increases it does so at the cost of strength. Bulk solution potential measurements on these alloys are similar indicating that bulk corrosion performance can be expected to be comparable.
