ALLIAGE D'ALUMINIUM POUR BOITIER D'AEROSOLALUMINUM ALLOY FOR AEROSOL CASE
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION
L'invention concerne le domaine des alliages d'aluminium, et plus particulièrement ceux destinés à la fabrication de boîtiers d'aérosol.The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloys, and more particularly those intended for the manufacture of aerosol cans.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART
On connaît déjà, notamment par la demande japonaise 1-149939/89, des alliages d'aluminium comprenant de 0,05 à 0,8 % en poids de Cu et de 0,05 à 0,8 % en poids deAlready known, in particular from Japanese application 1-149939 / 89, aluminum alloys comprising from 0.05 to 0.8% by weight of Cu and from 0.05 to 0.8% by weight of
Mn. Ces alliages sont adaptés à la fabrication de boîtiers d'aérosol filés par choc (impact extrusion) à partir de pions, et qui présentent une tenue améliorée à la corrosion par piqûres.Mn. These alloys are suitable for the manufacture of aerosol packages spun by impact (impact extrusion) from pins, and which have improved resistance to pitting corrosion.
Selon cet état de la technique, les pions sont obtenus à partir de bande par laminage à chaud, puis laminage à froid.According to this state of the art, the pins are obtained from strip by hot rolling, then cold rolling.
De manière connue en soi, les boîtiers filés par choc sont ensuite typiquement dégraissés, vernis intérieurement et/ou imprimés extérieurement, traités dans un four de manière à cuire les encres et sécher les vernis, et finalement conifiés.In a manner known per se, the impact-spun boxes are then typically degreased, varnished internally and / or printed externally, treated in an oven so as to bake the inks and dry the varnishes, and finally conified.
PROBLEMES POSESPROBLEMS POSED
La demanderesse a recherché des alliages d'aluminium qui présentent une amélioration des propriétés mécaniques , en vue de réduire l'épaisseur de paroi des boîtiers d'aérosols. Par ailleurs, elle a recherché des alliages, de préférence, adaptés à la fabrication de pions par coulée continue, et non plus par seul laminage, et, de préférence, adaptés à la fabrication de boîtiers d'aérosols filés et étirés, et non pas seulement filés.The Applicant has sought aluminum alloys which have an improvement in mechanical properties, with a view to reducing the wall thickness of the aerosol cans. In addition, it sought alloys, preferably, suitable for the manufacture of pins by continuous casting, and no longer by rolling alone, and, preferably, suitable for the manufacture of spun and drawn aerosol cans, and not only spun.
DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Selon un premier objet de l'invention, l'alliage d'aluminium, destiné à la fabrication de boîtiers d'aérosols obtenus par filage par choc de pions dudit alliage ou par filage par choc de ces pions suivi d'un étirage, comprend du cuivre et du manganèse, dont la 2 composition en Cu et Mn est située à l'intérieur du polygone ABCD défini, dans un système d'axes de coordonnées avec la teneur en Mn (% en poids) en abscisse et celle de Cu (% en poids) en ordonnée, par les coordonnées des points A, B, C et D : abscisse (Mn%) ordonnée (Cu %) A 0,075 0,65According to a first subject of the invention, the aluminum alloy, intended for the manufacture of aerosol cans obtained by impact spinning of pions of said alloy or by impact spinning of these pions followed by drawing, comprises copper and manganese, the 2 composition in Cu and Mn is located inside the polygon ABCD defined, in a system of coordinate axes with the content of Mn (% by weight) on the abscissa and that of Cu (% by weight) on the ordinate, by the coordinates of points A, B, C and D: abscissa (Mn%) ordered (Cu%) A 0.075 0.65
B 0,50 0,65B 0.50 0.65
C 0,35 0,4C 0.35 0.4
D 0,25 0,4 le reste étant constitué par Al et les impuretés inévitables Cette composition d'alliage a été trouvée particulièrement adaptée à la fabrication de pions à partir de bande coulée en continuD 0.25 0.4 the remainder being constituted by Al and the inevitable impurities This alloy composition has been found particularly suitable for the manufacture of pions from continuously cast strip
En ce qui concerne les teneurs en Mn, elles visent surtout à diminuer l'adoucissement du métal lors du recuit des laques et vernis des boîtiers aérosols. Les essais conduits par la demanderesse ont montré qu'une teneur en Mn se situant en-deça de la limite imposée par la droite AD conduirait à un pion à grain trop gros, entraînant in fine la formation de plis lors de la conification de l'aérosol final. Par ailleurs, une teneur en Mn se situant en- deça de la limite imposée par la droite AD conduirait en plus à un aérosol de caractéristiques mécaniques insuffisantes compte tenu notamment de la nécessité de diminuer l'épaisseur des parois de boîtiers d'aérosols pour diminuer notablement les coûts de métalWith regard to the Mn contents, they above all aim to reduce the softening of the metal during the annealing of lacquers and varnishes of aerosol cans. The tests carried out by the applicant have shown that an Mn content situated below the limit imposed by the straight line AD would lead to a too coarse-grained pawn, ultimately leading to the formation of folds during the conification of the final aerosol. Furthermore, an Mn content situated below the limit imposed by the straight line AD would also lead to an aerosol with insufficient mechanical characteristics, in particular taking into account the need to reduce the thickness of the walls of aerosol housings to reduce notably the metal costs
En particulier quand la teneur en Mn est comprise entre 0,2 et 0,4% en poids, il a été observé un fort effet anti-adoucissant du Mn qui entraîne une augmentation très marquée des caractéristiques mécaniques Cet effet est particulièrement remarquable dans le cas d'alliages contenant aussi du Cu , en effet ces alliages d'aluminium avec Cu s'adoucissent très vite on peut ainsi considérer que l'ajout de 0,3% de Mn à un alliage d'aluminium 1050 (désignation de l'Aluminum Association) fait gagner 15 MPa, alors que le même ajout à un alliage 1050 contenant 0,5% de Cu fait gagner 30 MPa. vAinsi, il a été observe une forte synergie entre les éléments Cu et Mn. Pour de fortes teneurs en Mn. typiquement supérieures à 0,5%, l'ajout supplémentaire de Mn n'apporte rien car l'alliage ne s'adoucit quasiment plus lors des recuits des laques ou vernis des boîtiers d'aeiosols, et généralement d'ailleurs, un ajout de .Mn au-dessus de 0,5 % en poids ne fait que dégrader la structure du métalIn particular when the Mn content is between 0.2 and 0.4% by weight, a strong anti-softening effect of Mn has been observed which results in a very marked increase in the mechanical characteristics. This effect is particularly remarkable in the case of alloys also containing Cu, in fact these aluminum alloys with Cu soften very quickly we can thus consider that the addition of 0.3% of Mn to an aluminum alloy 1050 (designation of Aluminum Association) saves 15 MPa, while the same addition to a 1050 alloy containing 0.5% of Cu saves 30 MPa. vThere was therefore a strong synergy between the elements Cu and Mn. For high Mn contents. typically greater than 0.5%, the extra addition of Mn n 'brings nothing because the alloy s' softens almost more during annealing lacquers or varnish of aerosol housings, and generally moreover, an addition of .Mn above 0.5% by weight only degrades the structure of the metal
En ce qui concerne la teneurs en cuivre, les essais ont montré qu'il y avait intérêt, pour obtenir une tenue élevée a la corrosion, a ce que la teneur en Cu soit inférieure à 0,65 % (ordonnée de la droite AB), mais qu'elle soit supérieure a 0,4% (ordonnée de la droite CD) pour obtenir un aérosol final de caractéristiques mécaniques élevées pour pouvoir réduire l'épaisseur des parois de boîtiers d'aérosolsWith regard to copper contents, tests have shown that it is advantageous, in order to obtain a high resistance to corrosion, for the Cu content to be less than 0.65% (ordinate of the line AB) , but greater than 0.4% (ordinate from the straight line CD) to obtain a final aerosol with high mechanical characteristics in order to be able to reduce the thickness of the walls of aerosol cans

La figure 2 illustre les avantages de ce procède sur les caractéristiques mécaniques (Rm)Figure 2 illustrates the advantages of this process on the mechanical characteristics (Rm)
Il est a noter aussi que les alliages selon l'invention sont moins sensibles que les alliages standards ou les alliages hors invention, aux effets du traitement thermique (partie B de la figure 2) et a la diminution des caractéristiques mécaniques qui résulte de ce traitementIt should also be noted that the alloys according to the invention are less sensitive than the standard alloys or the alloys outside the invention, to the effects of the heat treatment (part B of FIG. 2) and to the reduction in mechanical characteristics which results from this treatment.
Ainsi, 1 invention peimet d obtenu des boîtiers d'aérosols présentant, au choix, soit de meilleui es caracteπstiques mécaniques et donc une tenue a la pression interne supérieure, soit une epaisseui de paroi moindre, ce qui correspond a une économie de métal L'alliage selon l'invention peut, outre les éléments Cu et IVIn, comprendre d'autres éléments : 0,005 à 0,05 % en poids de Ti, de 0,2 à 0,5 % en poids de Fe, et moins de 0,2Thus, 1 invention peimet d obtained aerosol cans having, as desired, either better mechanical characteristics and therefore resistance to higher internal pressure, or less wall thickness, which corresponds to a saving in metal The alloy according to the invention can, in addition to the elements Cu and IVIn, comprise other elements: 0.005 to 0.05% by weight of Ti, from 0.2 to 0.5% by weight of Fe, and less than 0.2
% en poids de Si.% by weight of Si.
L'emploi de titane vise à obtenir de la bande (3) de coulée à grains relativement fins. Quant aux éléments Fe et Si, ce sont le plus souvent des impuretés de l'aluminium. La teneur en Fe résulte du fait que cet élément, à une teneur supérieure à 0,2% en poids, joue un rôle pour faire baisser la taille des grains, alors qu'au-delà d'une teneur de 0,5% en poids, son effet est négatif, car il annihile l'effet du manganèse en piégeant cet élément. Le silicium est une simple impureté dont la teneur doit être tenue inférieure à 0,2% en poids sous peine de faire baisser la solubilité du manganèse, ce qui conduit notamment à des grains plus gros.The use of titanium is aimed at obtaining relatively fine-grained casting tape (3). As for the elements Fe and Si, they are most often impurities from aluminum. The Fe content results from the fact that this element, at a content greater than 0.2% by weight, plays a role in reducing the size of the grains, while beyond a content of 0.5% in weight, its effect is negative, because it annihilates the effect of manganese by trapping this element. Silicon is a simple impurity, the content of which must be kept below 0.2% by weight, otherwise the solubility of manganese is lowered, which leads in particular to larger grains.
Un second objet de l'invention concerne l'utilisation des alliages selon l'invention pour l'obtention de boîtiers d'aérosols fabriqués par filage par choc de pions (4) dudit alliage, lesdits pions étant obtenus à partir de bande coulée en continu.A second object of the invention relates to the use of the alloys according to the invention for obtaining aerosol cans produced by shock spinning of pawns (4) of said alloy, said pawns being obtained from strip continuously cast .
De préférence, ce second objet concerne l'utilisation des alliages selon l'invention pour l'obtention de boîtiers d'aérosols fabriqués par filage par choc de pions (4) dudit alliage et étirage subséquent de l'ébauche (5) obtenue, lesdits pions étant obtenus à partir de bande coulée en continu.Preferably, this second object relates to the use of the alloys according to the invention for obtaining aerosol cans produced by shock impact spinning (4) of said alloy and subsequent drawing of the blank (5) obtained, said pins being obtained from continuous casting tape.
Comme déjà indiqué, la sélection d'alliages selon la présente invention est particulièrement adaptée dans le cas de pions obtenus à partir de bande coulée en continu, et plus particulièrement avantageuse quand ces pions sont transformés en boîtiers d'aérosol par filage par choc suivi d'une étape d'étirage.As already indicated, the selection of alloys according to the present invention is particularly suitable in the case of pins obtained from continuously cast strip, and more particularly advantageous when these pins are transformed into aerosol cans by impact spinning followed by 'a stretching step.

De préférence, ce troisième objet est constitué par des boîtiers d'aérosols en alliage selon l'invention, obtenus par filage par choc de pions dudit alliage suivi d'au moins une étape d'étirage, lesdits pions étant obtenus à partir de bande coulée en continu.

Seuls les essais 9 à 12 sont conformes à l'invention.Only the tests 9 to 12 are in accordance with the invention.
La comparaison des essais 8 et 10 montre bien un plafonnement des caractéristiques mécaniques : une augmentation de la teneur en Mn, au-delà des teneurs correspondant aux compositions en Cu et Mn situées à l'intérieur du polygone .ABCD, n'améliore pas les caractéristiques mécaniques.The comparison of tests 8 and 10 clearly shows a cap on the mechanical characteristics: an increase in the Mn content, beyond the corresponding contents to Cu and Mn compositions located inside the .ABCD polygon, does not improve the mechanical characteristics.

Ces essais comparatifs montrent bien l'intérêt de la sélection selon l'invention puisque le domaine d'alliage permet seul d'obtenir à la fois des caractéristiques mécaniques élevées pour le boîtier aérosol après recuit des laques et vernis, une absence de plis à la conification, et une bonne tenue à la corrosion, analogue à celle d'un boîtier en alliage d'aluminium peu chargé en éléments autres que Al, l'alliage 1050 (désignation normalisée selon l'Aluminum Association), alliage de référence pour ce type d'application. These comparative tests clearly show the advantage of the selection according to the invention since the alloy field alone makes it possible to obtain both high mechanical characteristics for the aerosol can after annealing of lacquers and varnishes, an absence of folds in the conification, and good resistance to corrosion, similar to that of an aluminum alloy casing little loaded with elements other than Al, alloy 1050 (standard designation according to the Aluminum Association), reference alloy for this type of application.
