Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technical sector of the foundry, for the manufacture of aluminum parts, particularly in the field of automotive, aerospace and more generally, all types of industries.
  • the alloys mentioned have been developed for obtaining semi-finished products (billets or ingots for forging or rolling) intended to be transformed during hot or cold operations with high deformation rates (> 50%).
  • the geometries of these semi-finished products are simple (bar, bar or ingot) which makes it possible to solidify these alloys with a minimum of defects by using processes with high solidification rates.
  • These geometries and these processes lead, according to currently controlled techniques, to semi-finished products free from defects among which we may mention: shrinkage, cracks, macro-segregations, macro-precipitation (prevents the formation of too coarse precipitates,> 100 ⁇ m).
  • the problem posed that the invention proposes to solve is to be able to produce parts responding to standards of quality and safety, and likely to have complex shapes.
  • the object of the invention relates to a method of manufacturing a piece of low silicon aluminum alloy, type 6000.
  • the latter is heated by being placed in a tunnel oven.
  • the silicon content is between 0.5 and 3%.
  • a silicon content of less than 1% leads to the highest elastic limits and elongations. However, this is the rate at which the alloy is most sensitive to crack and has the lowest flowability. It is therefore necessary to be able to adapt the silicon content according to the geometry of the part. Complex geometries will require a higher rate to reduce this crack sensitivity.
  • the maximum rate of 3% corresponds to a rate beyond which the elongation and the yield point become too low so that it is always interesting to produce with an alloy of this type.
  • the magnesium level is between 0, 65 and 1%. This rate makes it possible to optimize the density of Mg 2 Si precipitates in the aluminum matrix. It compensates for the decrease in silicon content while having a minimum of macroscopic Mg 2 Si precipitates that are damaging and must be dissolved or transformed during heat treatment. If the precipitates are too numerous, or too big, the heat treatment will have a weak effect for their dissolution, the critical size of dissolution having been exceeded.
  • the copper content is between 0.20 and 0.40%. This rate allows the formation of Al 2 Cu precipitates in the matrix and the total absence of macroscopic Al 2 Cu precipitates. The absence of these macroscopic precipitates makes it possible to maintain high forging temperatures and thus to minimize forging efforts (which is carried out in a single step). Indeed, the main precipitates formed in the presence of copper are Al 2 Cu and AlMgSiCu respectively melting at 490 ° C and 525 ° C, their presence would prevent forging at higher temperatures without risk of burning of the alloy that would make the parts unusable. This degradation is similar to a destruction of the alloy.
  • a higher copper content also increases the crack sensitivity of the alloy, because there remains a eutectic to be solidified at low temperatures (490 ° C or 525 ° C) for which the mechanical stresses (related to the removal of solidification) exercised on the piece are important.
  • the manganese content is between 0.15 and 0.25%. This rate avoids the formation of AlFeSi precipitates in ⁇ -form (very damaging plate) and makes it possible to form AlFeMnSi precipitates in ⁇ -form (Chinese writing less damaging). This maximizes the finished part elongation resulting from the Cobapress process. This effect is most often used with larger amounts of manganese and iron, these two elements leading to a hardening of the alloy but also to larger precipitates during solidification. These large precipitates are penalizing for a good elongation.
  • the alloy according to the invention is intended, as indicated, the Cobapress process, which is forged in a single step, which does not have the large deformations encountered in forging, rolling or extrusion.
  • the titanium content is between 0.10 and 0.20%. This rate is necessary for efficient seed germination and fine grain size which has a significant effect on the mechanical characteristics of these alloys.
  • the strontium level is between 0 and 120 ppm. This rate is necessary to have a fibrous solidification of the small amounts of eutectic that are formed. This occurs mainly for silicon levels higher than 1.5%.
  • composition of this alloy is adapted to lead to a solidification which will maximize the mechanical characteristics despite the low levels of deformation encountered during the Cobapress process.
  • the forging operation Cobapress allows to close and rewrite these defects with a control in design of the rate of deformation.
  • the temperature / deformation couple allows a rectification of the defects.
  • the table below shows the mechanical properties on casting and parts, according to the Cobapress process, after T6 heat treatment of the low silicon alloy.
  • Rp Elastic limit
  • this composition makes it possible to reduce the complexity of the usual heat treatment for Al-Mg-Si-Cu type alloys.
  • the rate of silicon, solidification rates and grain refinement lead to macroscopic Mg 2 Si precipitates whose size and morphology facilitate dissolution during heat treatment.
  • FIG 1 shows a foundry microstructure, without manganese, precipitated "in needles", type ⁇
  • FIG 2 shows the monostructure with manganese, precipitated "in Chinese writing", type ⁇ .
  • the copper content is greater than 0.40%, which leads to the presence of Al 2 Cu precipitates.
  • figure 4 shows an example where one can observe the AlFeMnSi and Mg 2 Si precipitation surrounded by precipitates Al 2 Cu.
  • the figure 5 shows a copper content of between 0.20% and 0.40%, according to the invention, showing an absence of Al 2 Cu precipitates,
