Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aluminiumknetlegierung des Typs AlMgSi geeignet für eine Hochleistungszerspanungsbearbeitung.The invention relates to a wrought aluminum alloy of the AlMgSi type for high-performance machining.
Aluminiumlegierungen dieses Typs werden als Hochleistungsbearbeitungswerkstoffe eingesetzt, da diese besonders hohen Anforderungen an die Zerspanbarkeit genügen. Man bezeichnet Sie daher auch als Automatenlegierung. Um den gewünschten Spanbruch bei einer spanenden Bearbeitung eines aus einer solchen Legierung bestehenden Werkstükkes, etwa beim Drehen, Fräsen oder Bohren, herbeizuführen, ist als Legierungsbestandteil Blei (Pb) in Gehalten von 2% oder mehr zulegiert. Nachteilig bei einer Zulegierung von Blei zum Erzielen dieser gewünschten Eigenschaft ist jedoch die von diesem Element ausgehende Gesundheitsgefahr, insbesondere für diejenigen Personen, die ein solches Werkstück bearbeiten. Darüberhinaus wirkt sich der Bleigehalt negativ auf das Kriechverhalten der Aluminiumlegierung aus, so daß die Werkstücke oder die daraus hergestellten Produkte bei höheren Temperaturen nur bedingt eingesetzt werden können.Aluminum alloys of this type are used as high performance machining materials used because these place particularly high demands on machinability is sufficient. They are therefore also known as machine alloys. To the desired chip break in a cutting Machining of a workpiece consisting of such an alloy, such as turning, milling or drilling, is an alloy component Lead (Pb) alloyed in contents of 2% or more. A disadvantage of alloying lead to achieve this desired However, the property is the health hazard posed by this element, especially for those who have such a workpiece to edit. In addition, the lead content has a negative effect on the Creep behavior of the aluminum alloy, so that the workpieces or the products made from it at higher temperatures only to a limited extent can be used.
Aus CH 239 996 sowie aus FR 977 514 sind derartige Automatenlegierungen bekannt geworden. Die in diesen Dokumenten beschriebenen Legierungen können neben Blei als weitere Spanbruch begünstigende Elemente enthalten: Zinn (Sn), Wismut (Bi), Cadmium (Cd) oder Thallium (TI), die alleine oder in einer Mischung auch mit Blei miteinander mit Anteilen zwischen 0,3 und 4 Gew.-% am Aufbau der Legierung beteiligt sein können. Tatsächlich eingesetzt worden sind solche Legierungen jedoch mit ganz erheblichen Anteilen dieser Elemente, wie dies auch aus dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der CH 239 996 ersichtlich ist, bei dem mehr als 2 Gew.-% eines Spanbruch begünstigenden Zusatzes eingesetzt ist, nämlich alleine Blei mit einem Anteil von 2,56 Gew.-%. Neben Blei ist auch ein Einsatz von Wismut, Cadmium oder Thallium unerwünscht, da die Umweltverträglichkeit dieser Elemente zum Teil nicht unproblematisch ist oder diese kostenträchtig sind. Such machine alloys are from CH 239 996 and from FR 977 514 known. The alloys described in these documents In addition to lead, elements that promote chip breakage can also be beneficial contain: tin (Sn), bismuth (Bi), cadmium (Cd) or thallium (TI), which alone or in a mixture also with lead together with proportions between 0.3 and 4 wt .-% can be involved in the structure of the alloy. However, such alloys have actually been used very significant proportions of these elements, as is also shown from the Embodiment of CH 239 996 can be seen in which more than 2 wt .-% of a chip-promoting additive used is namely lead alone with a proportion of 2.56% by weight. In addition to lead use of bismuth, cadmium or thallium is also undesirable because the environmental compatibility of these elements is sometimes not without problems is or are costly.
Bezüglich der Legierungsbestandteile, die zur Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften der Legierung eingesetzt sind, sind die Metalle Kupfer (Cu) , Nickel (Ni) oder Zink (Zn) vorgesehen, die in Anteilen von maximal 6 bzw. 4 bzw. 10 Gew.-% in den bekannten Legierungen enthalten sein können. Die großzügige Bemessung des bei vorgenannten Stand der Technik angegebenen Intervalles, in dem diese Legierungsbestandteile enthalten sein können, macht deutlich, daß tatsächlich nicht unerhebliche Anteile an diesen Elementen benötigt werden bzw. vorhanden sein müssen, um die gewünschten Eigenschaften der in diesen Dokumenten beschriebenen Legierungen erzielen zu können. Entsprechendes zeigen die in diesen Dokumenten beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele. Dabei ist festzuhalten, daß Blei grundsätzlich ein durchaus geeignetes Element zum Erzielen der gewünschten Zerspanbarkeit ist.Regarding the alloy components that improve the mechanical Properties of the alloy used are the metals Copper (Cu), nickel (Ni) or zinc (Zn) provided in proportions of contain a maximum of 6 or 4 or 10% by weight in the known alloys could be. The generous dimensioning of the above-mentioned status the specified interval in which these alloy components can be included, makes it clear that actually not insignificant Shares in these elements are required or available Must be the properties you want in these documents to achieve alloys described. The same show the embodiments described in these documents. It should be noted that lead is fundamentally a very suitable one Element for achieving the desired machinability.
Um die aus einem Einsatz von Blei, Wismut, Cadmium oder Thallium resultierenden Nachteile zu vermeiden, sind AlMgSi-Legierungen vorgeschlagen worden, die anstelle des Elementes Blei zum Erzielen der gewünschten Eigenschaften hinsichtlich einer Zerspanbarkeit Zinn enthalten. Derartige Legierungen sind beispielsweise in US 5 810 952 A oder in US 5 776 269 A beschrieben. Zusätzlicher Bestandteil dieser Legierungen neben Zinn ist Wismut, welches als Element eingesetzt wird, um die Zerspanbarkeit zu optimieren. Damit eine solche bleifreie AlMgSi-Legierung eine ausreichende Festigkeit aufweist, sind Kupfergehalte zwischen 0,3 und 0,4 Gew.-% zulegiert. Auch bei der bei der Aluminum Association mit der Bezeichnung AA 6020 registrierten, warm aushärtbaren Legierung ist Kupfer wesentlicher Bestandteil zur Erhöhung der Festigkeit vorgesehen. Der Kupfergehalt kann zwischen 0,3 bis 0,9 Gew.-% betragen. Diese Legierung weist einen Zinnanteil zwischen 0,9 und 1,5 Gew.-% auf.To those resulting from the use of lead, bismuth, cadmium or thallium To avoid disadvantages, AlMgSi alloys have been proposed been used instead of the lead element to achieve the desired Machinability properties include tin. Such alloys are, for example, in US 5 810 952 A or in US 5 776 269 A. Additional component of these alloys in addition to tin is bismuth, which is used as an element to improve machinability to optimize. So such a lead-free AlMgSi alloy has sufficient strength, copper contents are between 0.3 and 0.4 wt .-% alloyed. Also at the Aluminum Association the designation AA 6020 registered, hardenable alloy Copper essential component intended to increase strength. The copper content can be between 0.3 and 0.9% by weight. This alloy has a tin content between 0.9 and 1.5% by weight.
Auch wenn bei einer wortlautgemäßen Lektüre der CH 239 996 oder der FR 977 514 grundsätzlich entnommen werden kann, daß auch Zinn alleine als den Spanbruch begünstigender Bestandteil enthalten sein kann, so ist tatsächlich eine solche Legierung niemals ohne weitere Zusätze hergestellt worden. Hergestellt worden sind, wie sich dies bereits auch aus den in diesen Dokumenten genannten Ausführungsbeispielen ergibt, lediglich solche Aluminiumknetlegierungen, die regelmäßig weitere Zusätze enthalten. Even if reading CH 239 996 or the FR 977 514 basically shows that tin alone can be contained as a component which promotes chip breaking, so such an alloy is actually never made without additional additives Service. Have been made, as is already the case results in the exemplary embodiments mentioned in these documents, only such wrought aluminum alloys that regularly add other contain.
Die mit den zuvor bezeichneten bleifreien Al-Legierungen erzielten Festigkeitswerte entsprechen in etwa denjenigen der bleihaltigen Varianten. Im Gegensatz zu den vorbekannten bleihaltigen Al-Hochleistungsbearbeitungswerkstoffen müssen jedoch bei den beschriebenen bleifreien Varianten Nachteile in Kauf genommen werden. Nachteilig ist beispielsweise bei einer Verarbeitung einer solchen Al-Legierung beim Strangpressen mit Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme, daß die zum Durchführen des Preßvorganges notwendige Temperatur relativ hoch sein muß. Da das Strangpressen nur in dem zwischen der notwendigen Mindestpreßtemperatur und der Anschmelztemperatur liegenden Temperaturfenster stattfinden kann, hat dies zur Folge, daß bei der hohen notwendigen Preßtemperatur das Bearbeitungsfenster mit einer Temperaturspanne zwischen 20 bis 40°C nur sehr klein ist. Zum einen ist die Einhaltung der Verfahrensparameter in einem solchen engen Temperaturfenster schwierig, zum anderen kann der Preßvorgang nur langsam durchgeführt werden, um aufgrund der sich zusätzlich einstellenden Reibungswärme das Temperaturfenster nicht zu verlassen und auch das eingesetzte Preßwerkzeug nicht zu überhitzen, was zu einer Verformung oder auch zu einer Zerstörung des Preßwerkzeuges führen kann. Ein Lösungsglühen kann in einer wirtschaftlich vertretbaren Art und Weise mit den vorbekannten Automatenlegierungen in der Preßwärme aus diesen Gründen nicht vorgenommen werden. Die stranggepreßten Produkte werden daher in einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt einem Lösungsglühen unterworfen, was notwendig ist, um die gewünschten Materialeigenschaften zu erzielen. Baubedingt können in einen solchen, zum Lösungsglühen vorgesehen Ofen nur solche Profile bzw. Profilabschnitte eingebracht werden, die eine bestimmte Maximallänge nicht überschreiten. Diese Abschnitte sind erheblich kürzer als die im Strangpreßverfahren hergestellten Profile. Das Lösungsglühen hat jedoch zumeist eine Formveränderung der Gegenstände, beispielsweise ein Verwerfen zur Folge. Die Gegenstände müssen daher nach dem Lösungsglühen in einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt gerichtet werden, wobei die Reckenden, die etwa 50 cm lang sind, nicht weiter verwendet werden können.The strength values achieved with the lead-free Al alloys described above correspond approximately to those of the lead-containing variants. in the Contrary to the previously known lead-containing Al high-performance machining materials but must be lead-free with the described Variants disadvantages are accepted. One disadvantage is, for example when processing such an Al alloy during extrusion with solution annealing in the press heat that the to carry out the Pressing necessary temperature must be relatively high. Since that Extrusion only in between the necessary minimum pressing temperature and the melting temperature lying temperature window take place can, this has the consequence that at the high necessary pressing temperature the processing window with a temperature range between 20 is very small up to 40 ° C. Firstly, compliance with the process parameters difficult in such a narrow temperature window, on the other the pressing process can only be carried out slowly due to of the additional frictional heat, the temperature window not to leave and also the press tool used to overheat, resulting in deformation or even destruction of the pressing tool can lead. Solution annealing can be done in an economical reasonable way with the known machine alloys not made in the press heat for these reasons become. The extruded products are therefore in another Process step subjected to solution annealing, which is necessary to achieve the desired material properties. Due to the construction in such a furnace intended for solution annealing only such Profiles or profile sections are introduced that have a certain maximum length do not exceed. These sections are considerably shorter than the profiles produced in the extrusion process. The solution glow has however, mostly a change in shape of the objects, for example a discard. The objects must therefore be after solution annealing be directed in a further step, the Raising ends, which are about 50 cm long, can no longer be used can.
JP-A-07 197 163 offenbart eine Al-Legierung, deren Zusammensetzung : 0,2-0,75 Gew.-% Mg; 0,2-1,5 Gew.-% Si; 0,05-1,0 Gew.-% Cu; 0,01-1,0 Gew.-% Sn; 0,005-0,20 Gew.-% Ti; mindestens ein von: 0,1-1,0 Gew.-% Fe; 0,1-1,0 Gew.-% Mn ; 0,05-0,3 Gew.-% Cr; Rest Al, enthält.JP-A-07 197 163 discloses an Al alloy, the Composition: 0.2-0.75 wt% Mg; 0.2-1.5 wt% Si; 0.05-1.0 wt% Cu; 0.01-1.0 wt% Sn; 0.005-0.20% by weight Ti; at least one of: 0.1-1.0 wt% Fe; 0.1-1.0 wt% Mn; 0.05-0.3 wt% Cr; Balance Al, contains.
Ausgehend von dem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine bleifreie Aluminiumknetlegierung des Typs AlMgSi mit einer Festigkeit und einer Zerspanbarkeit entsprechend den vorbekannten Automatenlegierungen bereitzustellen, deren Herstellbarkeit verbessert ist, und die insbesondere bei einem Strangpressen ein größeres Temperatur bezogenes Verarbeitungsfenster aufweist.The invention is based on the state of the art discussed therefore based on the task of a lead-free wrought aluminum alloy Type AlMgSi with a strength and machinability accordingly to provide the known machine alloys, their manufacturability is improved, and especially in an extrusion has a larger temperature-related processing window.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Aluminiumknetlegierung des Typs AlMgSi mit folgenden Anteilen seiner Hauptlegierungsbestandteile:
- 0,6 bis 2,0 Gew.-% Magnesium (Mg),
- 0,6 bis 3,0 Gew.-% Silizium (Si),
- 0,6 bis 1,5 Gew.-% Zinn (Sn),
- 0,4 bis 1,0 Gew.-% Mangan (Mn),
- 0.6 to 2.0% by weight of magnesium (Mg),
- 0.6 to 3.0% by weight silicon (Si),
- 0.6 to 1.5% by weight of tin (Sn),
- 0.4 to 1.0% by weight of manganese (Mn),
Durch die Erfindung ist eine Aluminiumknetlegierung bereitgestellt, die nicht nur eine ungewöhnlich geringe Menge - nämlich nur 0,6 bis 1,5 Gew.-% - eines die Zerspanung begünstigenden Elementes beinhaltet und dennoch dieselben und zum Teil sogar verbesserte Zerspanungseigenschaften aufweist, sondern auch nur ein einziges Element als eine Zerspanung begünstigendes Element - entgegen den vorbekannten Vorschlägen, bei denen neben diesem Element weitere Elemente regelmäßig zulegiert worden sind - enthält. Der Einsatz von Zinn als einziges den Spanbruch maßgeblich begünstigendes Element ist bezüglich seiner Umweltverträglichkeit unbedenklich. Da in den vorbekannten Automatenlegierungen mehrere, die Zerspanung begünstigende Elemente in größeren Anteilen enthalten waren, war im Lichte dieses Standes der Technik nicht zu erwarten, daß die erfindungsgemäße Legierung mit den definierten engen Anteilsintervallen der eingesetzten Elemente derartig positive Zerspanungseigenschaften aufweisen würde. So kommt die beanspruchte Aluminiumknetlegierung ohne Beimengungen von Blei, Wismut oder anderen Schwermetallen aus, die in die vorbekannten Automatenlegierungen eingebaut worden waren. Die am Zustandekommen dieser Erfindung beteiligten Erfinder haben herausgefunden, daß eben genau in den beanspruchten Intervallen der eingesetzten Elemente Phasen gebildet werden, die die Zerspanbarkeit eines aus einer solchen Legierung hergestellten Gegenstandes in hohem Maße begünstigen. Dazu mußten sich die Erfinder zunächst jedoch von der herrschenden Lehre lösen.The invention provides a wrought aluminum alloy which not just an unusually small amount - namely only 0.6 to 1.5 % By weight - of an element which favors machining and yet the same and in some cases even improved cutting properties has, but only a single element as one Machining-favoring element - contrary to the previously known proposals, where in addition to this element other elements regularly have been added - contains. The use of tin is the only one Chip breaking is a key element in terms of its environmental compatibility harmless. Because in the known machine alloys several elements that favor machining in larger ones Shares were not included in the light of this prior art to be expected that the alloy according to the invention with the defined Narrow share intervals of the elements used such positive cutting properties would have. So comes the claimed Wrought aluminum alloy without the addition of lead, bismuth or other Heavy metals from the known machine alloys had been installed. Those who accomplished this invention Inventors involved have found that exactly in the claimed Intervals of the elements used phases are formed the machinability of one made from such an alloy Favor the object to a high degree. The inventors had to do this First of all, let go of the prevailing teaching.
Zum Erzielen der gewünschten Festigkeit der Aluminiumlegierung wird neben den Bestandteilen Magnesium, Silizium und Mangan zusätzlich Zinn eingesetzt. Ein Einsatz von Wismut und/oder Indium ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Aluminiumknetlegierung zum Erzielen der gewünschten Festigkeiten ebenso wenig notwendig wie ein Einsatz von Kupfer. Als fakultativen Legierungsbestandteil kann die Legierung ferner zu geringen Anteilen auch Chrom enthalten. Auch der Einsatz dieses zusätzlichen Legierungsbestandteiles im Rahmen seiner beanspruchten Anteile wirkt sich positiv auf die Festigkeit und die Zerspanbarkeit der Aluminiumknetlegierung aus. Höhere Gehalte beeinträchtigen dagegen die Legierungseigenschaften. Zur Kornfeinung können Titangehalte von bis zu 0,1 Gew.-% in der Legierung enthalten sein. Bevorzugt werden Titangehalte zwischen 0,02 und 0,08 Gew.-% eingesetzt.To achieve the desired strength of the aluminum alloy in addition to the components magnesium, silicon and manganese Tin used. Bismuth and / or indium is used in the invention Wrought aluminum alloy to achieve the desired Strengths are no more necessary than the use of copper. As an optional Alloy ingredient can further reduce the alloy Proportions also contain chrome. Also the use of this additional alloy component within the scope of its claimed shares positive for the strength and machinability of the wrought aluminum alloy out. In contrast, higher levels adversely affect the alloy properties. Titanium contents of up to 0.1% by weight can be used for grain refinement the alloy may be included. Titanium contents between are preferred 0.02 and 0.08 wt .-% used.
Die erfindungsgemäße Aluminiumknetlegierung weist, verglichen mit den vorbekannten Aluminiumknetlegierungen, beim Strangpressen ein weitaus größeres Temperatur bezogenes Arbeitsfenster auf, so daß mit dieser Aluminiumknetlegierung ein Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme erfolgen kann. Auch diese Eigenschaft kann dem vorbekannten Stand der Technik an keiner Stelle entnommen werden. Insbesondere war im Lichte des Standes der Technik nicht zu erwarten, daß die Legierung bei einer geringen Preßtemperatur verarbeitet werden könnte. Daher ist auch ein nachgeschaltetes Lösungsglühen mit den sich daraus ergebenden Nachteilen vermieden. Da mit der erfindungsgemäßen Legierung ein Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme erfolgen kann, können die durch das Strangpressen hergestellten Gegenstände in ihrer vollen Länge dem Reckvorgang unterworfen werden und brauchen nicht - wie beim vorbekannten Stand der Technik - in in einen Lösungsglühungsofen passende Stücke zerteilt werden. Folglich ist die Zahl der nicht verwertbaren Reckenden bei einem solchen Herstellungsverfahren, wie mit der erfindungsgemäßen Legierung möglich, erheblich reduziert.The wrought aluminum alloy according to the invention has compared to the Known wrought aluminum alloys, a lot in extrusion larger temperature related working window, so that with this Wrought aluminum alloy solution heat treatment in the heat of pressing can. This property can also be the prior art can not be removed at any point. In particular, in the light of State of the art not to expect the alloy at a low Press temperature could be processed. Therefore there is also a downstream one Solution annealing with the resulting disadvantages avoided. Since solution annealing with the alloy according to the invention can be done in the heat of extrusion, can by extrusion manufactured objects in their full length subjected to the stretching process are and do not need - as with the known state of the art Technology - be cut into pieces that fit into a solution annealing furnace. Consequently, the number of useless stretchers is at one such manufacturing processes as with the alloy according to the invention possible, significantly reduced.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Aluminiumknetlegierung liegt die zum Durchführen des Strangpreßvorganges notwendige Preßtemperatur erheblich unter derjenigen, die für die vorbekannten kupferhaltigen Aluminiumknetlegierungen notwendig sind. Die notwendige Preßtemperatur ist etwa um 30 - 50°C gegenüber kupferhaltigen AlMgSi-Legierungen reduziert. Folglich ist das temperaturbezogene Arbeitsfenster größer, so daß nicht nur ein Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme in einem größeren Temperaturbereich erfolgen kann, sondern macht auch ein rascheres Strangpressen sowie eine erweiterte Abschreckverzögerung möglich. Diese Vorteile machen sich ebenfalls bei einer Schmiede- oder Walzbearbeitung eines Werkstückes, hergestellt aus einer solchen Aluminiumknetlegierung, bemerkbar. Überdies weist die beanspruchte Aluminiumknetlegierung verglichen mit derjenigen des vorbekannten Standes der Technik eine bessere Korrosionsbeständigkeit auf.In the case of the wrought aluminum alloy according to the invention, this is to be carried out the extrusion process necessary pressing temperature considerably among those for the previously known copper-containing wrought aluminum alloys are necessary. The necessary pressing temperature is around 30 - 50 ° C reduced compared to copper-containing AlMgSi alloys. consequently the temperature-related work window is larger, so that not only a solution heat treatment in the heat of pressing in a larger temperature range can be done, but also makes a faster extrusion as well as an extended quenching delay. Make these advantages is also involved in a forging or rolling process Workpiece made of such a wrought aluminum alloy, noticeable. Furthermore, the claimed wrought aluminum alloy compares better with that of the prior art Corrosion resistance.
Die gezielte Auswahl der zugelassenen Elemente in den beanspruchten Gewichtsanteilen hat eine Aluminiumknetlegierung des Typs AlMgSi hervorgebracht, die nicht nur hervorragende Eigenschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Zerspanbarkeit und ihrer Festigkeit aufweist, sondern die ebenfalls besonders günstig, insbesondere beim Strangpressen verarbeitet werden kann. Vor allem der Ausschluß von Kupfer als Legierungsbestandteil, der bewußt in die Legierung nicht integriert wird und lediglich als Verunreinigung geduldet ist, ermöglicht es, daß ein Strangpreßprodukt mit Lösungsglühung in der Presswärme und Pressabschreckung gefertigt werden kann. Es ist somit eine Automatenlegierung bereitgestellt, die nicht nur besonders wirtschaftlich in ihrer Herstellung sondern auch in ihrer Verarbeitung ist.The targeted selection of the approved elements in the claimed An aluminum wrought alloy of the type AlMgSi has produced parts by weight, which not only have excellent properties in terms of their Machinability and its strength, but also special inexpensive, especially in extrusion processing can. Above all, the exclusion of copper as an alloy component, the is deliberately not integrated into the alloy and only as an impurity tolerated, allows an extrusion product with solution heat treatment in which press heat and press quenching are manufactured can. A machine alloy is thus provided, which is not only particularly economical in their production but also in their processing is.
Lediglich als unvermeidbare Verunreinigungen sind die Elemente Eisen, Kupfer und Zink ohne Beeinträchtigung der festgestellten Legierungseigenschaften bis zu bestimmten Anteilen in der Legierung geduldet. Höhere Gehalte beeinträchtigen dagegen die gewünschten Legierungseigenschaften. Diese Elemente brauchen jedoch nicht Bestandteil der Legierung zu sein.The elements iron are only inevitable impurities, Copper and zinc without impairing the determined alloy properties tolerated up to certain proportions in the alloy. higher On the other hand, contents impair the desired alloy properties. However, these elements do not need to be part of the alloy to be.
Weitere unvermeidbare Verunreinigungen der Aluminiumknetlegierung sollen elementbezogen jeweils einen Maximalgehalt von 0,05 Gew.-% nicht überschreiten, da ansonsten die gewünschten Legierungseigenschaften beeinträchtigt sein können.Other unavoidable impurities in the wrought aluminum alloy should have a maximum content of 0.05% by weight not exceed, otherwise the desired alloy properties may be affected.
Durch die sich insbesondere bei einer Verwendung der beanspruchten Aluminiumknetlegierung beim Strangpressen einstellenden Vorteile ist eine bevorzugte Verwendung dieser Legierung das Herstellen stranggepresster Produkte.Due to the particular use of the claimed Wrought aluminum alloy in extrusion is one of the advantages a preferred use of this alloy is to manufacture extruded Products.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Aluminiumknetlegierung umfaßt diese in der Gruppe ihrer Hauptlegierungsbestandteile:
- 1,0 bis 1,2 Gew.-% Magnesium,
- 0,8 bis 1,0 Gew.-% Silizium,
- 0,9 bis 1,1 Gew.-% Zinn und
- 0,6 bis 0,8 Gew.-% Mangan.

- 0.8 to 1.0% by weight of silicon,
- 0.9 to 1.1% by weight of tin and

In zwei Proben sind die Temperatur bezogenen Bearbeitungsfenster sowie die Zugfestigkeit einer stranggepreßten Aluminiumknetlegierung bestehend aus
- 1,1 Gew.-% Magnesium,
- 0,95 Gew.-% Silizium,
- 1,1 Gew.-% Zinn,

- alle weiteren Elemente in ihrer Summe kleiner 0,05 Gew.-%
Eine zweite Probe mit demselben Blockformat derselben Legierung wurde bei einer Blocktemperatur von 530 - 540°C nach dem Guß homogenisiert und mit unmittelbarer Wasserabschreckung bei einer Mindesttemperatur von 530 - 540°C verpreßt, wobei auch bei dieser Probe der Schritt des Lösungsglühens durch die beim Verpressen notwendige Wärme automatisch mit durchgeführt worden ist. Anschließend wurde dieses Profil ebenfalls bei 170°C auf seine höchste Härte warm ausgelagert. Bei dieser Probe wurde eine 0,2%-Streckgrenze Rp0,2 von 348 Mpa, eine Zugfestigkeit Rm von 371 Mpa und eine Bruchdehnung A5 von 10 % ermittelt. Die nachfolgende Tabelle zeigt die Untersuchungsergebnisse zusammengefaßt und im Vergleich zu denjenigen einer vorbekannten Aluminiumknetlegierung:
- 1.1% by weight of magnesium,
- 0.95% by weight silicon,
- 1.1% by weight of tin,
- 0.65% by weight of manganese,
- 0.19 wt% iron
- Rest aluminum,
- all other elements in total less than 0.05% by weight
A second sample with the same block format of the same alloy was homogenized at a block temperature of 530-540 ° C after casting and pressed with immediate water quenching at a minimum temperature of 530-540 ° C, the solution annealing step being also carried out in this sample by pressing necessary heat has been carried out automatically. Then this profile was also aged at 170 ° C to its highest hardness. A 0.2% yield strength R p0.2 of 348 Mpa, a tensile strength R m of 371 Mpa and an elongation at break A 5 of 10% were determined for this sample. The following table shows the test results in summary and in comparison to those of a previously known wrought aluminum alloy:
Die Festigkeits- und Duktilitätswerte der beiden aus den Proben (Probe 1, Probe 2) hergestellten Profile sind trotz der unterschiedlichen Behandlung fast identisch. Ferner wird aus dieser Gegenüberstellung deutlich, daß mit kupferhaltigen Aluminiumknetlegierungen die bestmöglichen Festigkeitswerte nicht erzielt werden können, wenn diese Legierungen nicht einem separatem Lösungsglühen unterworfen sind. Überdies zeigen die Ergebnisse des vorbekannten Standes der Technik, daß ein Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme zu unterschiedlichen Festigkeitswerten in Abhängigkeit von der Strangpreßtemperatur führt. Folglich resultieren Temperaturschwankungen innerhalb der Strangpreßtemperatur beim Strangpressen auch in unterschiedlichen Festigkeitswerten der stranggepreßten Profile, was jedoch unerwünscht ist. Diese legierungsbedingten Nachteile können nur durch den Schritt des separaten Lösungsglühens mit den sich daraus ergebenden Nachteilen (siehe oben) vermieden werden. Die Untersuchungen zeigen somit, daß das Verarbeitungsfenster zum Verarbeiten einer erfindungsgemäßen Aluminiumknetlegierung - beispielhaft an einer Strangpreßverarbeitung dargestellt - bei gleichen Festigkeits- und Duktilitätswerten sehr viel größer ist und die Ergebnisse verbessert sind.The strength and ductility values of the two from the samples (sample 1, Sample 2) profiles are produced despite the different treatment almost identical. It also becomes clear from this comparison that with copper-containing wrought aluminum alloys the best possible strength values cannot be achieved if these alloys are not one are subjected to separate solution annealing. The results also show of the prior art that solution annealing in the press heat to different strength values depending leads from the extrusion temperature. As a result, temperature fluctuations result within the extrusion temperature during extrusion also in different strength values of the extruded profiles, however, which is undesirable. These alloy-related disadvantages can only by the step of separate solution annealing with the resulting ones resulting disadvantages (see above) can be avoided. The investigations thus show that the processing window for processing of a wrought aluminum alloy according to the invention - for example one Extrusion processing shown - with the same strength and ductility values is much larger and the results are improved.
Zum Darstellen des unterschiedlichen Zerspanungsverhaltens verschiedener
AlMgSi-Legierungen wird auf die nachfolgend wiedergegebene Tabelle
verwiesen, in der in der letzten Zeile das Zerspanungsverhalten eines
Gegenstandes, hergestellt aus der erfindungsgemäßen Legierung,
nämlich der Proben 1 und 2, verglichen ist mit dem Zerspanungsverhalten
vorbekannter Legierungen. Zum Teil sind die in der Tabelle aufgeführten
Daten entsprechenden Werkstoffblättern entnommen, in denen die gleichen
Bewertungsstufen, wie bei den übrigen Legierungen dargestellt,
verwendet worden sind:
Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß die Legierungen "Stanal 32", "AA6020" und "KA62" nach dem sogenannten T6-Verfahren und dem darin enthaltenen separaten Lösungsglühungsschritt hergestellt worden sind. Die übrigen Legierungen sind nach dem T5-Verfahren mit einem Lösungsglühen in der Preßwärme hergestellt worden. Aus obiger Gegenüberstellung wird deutlich, daß das Zerspanungsverhalten von Gegenständen, hergestellt aus einer Legierung gemäß der Erfindung ausgezeichnet ist und demjenigen entspricht, der zuvor nur mit bleihaltigen AlMgSi-Legierungen erzielt werden konnte. Hingewiesen sei insbesondere auch darauf, daß die kupferhaltigen AlMgSi-Legierungen einem separaten Schritt des Lösungsglühens vor dem Schritt des Warmaushärtens unterworfen worden sind, um zumindest teilweise dasselbe Zerspanungsverhalten zu erzielen, wie ein Gegenstand hergestellt aus einer Legierung gemäß der Erfindung.It should be noted that the alloys "Stanal 32", "AA6020" and "KA62" according to the so-called T6 process and the one contained therein separate solution annealing step. The remaining Alloys are solution annealed using the T5 process produced in the heat of pressing. The above comparison becomes clearly that the cutting behavior of objects manufactured is distinguished from an alloy according to the invention and that corresponds to that previously achieved only with lead-containing AlMgSi alloys could be. It should be noted in particular that the copper-containing AlMgSi alloys a separate step of solution annealing have been subjected to before the step of thermosetting to achieve at least partially the same cutting behavior as a Article made from an alloy according to the invention.
