Description

この発明は、Pbを添加することなく優れた切削性を有する切削加工用アルミニウム合金、および該切削加工用アルミニウム合金により構成されたアルミニウム合金加工品に関する。   The present invention relates to a cutting aluminum alloy having excellent machinability without adding Pb, and an aluminum alloy processed article constituted by the cutting aluminum alloy.

アルミニウム合金材の切削加工においては、切屑が連続するために切屑処理の工程が必要となり、また旋削時の製品コーナー部や穴空け加工時のドリル穴周囲に生成するバリを除去する工程が必要となる。このため、切屑の分断性が良好でバリ生成を抑制しうる快削性合金が求められている。   When cutting aluminum alloy materials, it is necessary to have a chip disposal process because chips are continuous, and a process to remove burrs generated around product corners during turning and drill holes during drilling. Become. For this reason, there is a demand for a free-cutting alloy that has good chip separation and can suppress burr formation.

アルミニウム合金に快削性を付与するために、従来は低融点元素であるPbの添加が行われていた。Pbを添加した快削性アルミニウム合金としては、例えばA2011合金(JIS 日本工業規格 H4040)が知られている。しかし、有害元素であるPbを含有する快削性アルミニウム合金を製造し使用することは、地球環境の保護という観点から回避したい事柄である。このため、例えば、Pb含有量を規制したアルミニウム合金や、Pbに代えてBiやSnを添加したアルミニウム合金が開発されている(例えば特許文献1、2、3参照)。

Conventionally, Pb, which is a low melting point element, has been added in order to impart free-cutting properties to the aluminum alloy. As a free-cutting aluminum alloy to which Pb is added, for example, A2011 alloy (JIS Japanese Industrial Standard H4040) is known. However, manufacturing and using a free-cutting aluminum alloy containing Pb, which is a harmful element, is a matter to avoid from the viewpoint of protecting the global environment. For this reason, for example, aluminum alloys in which the Pb content is regulated and aluminum alloys to which Bi or Sn is added instead of Pb have been developed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

しかしながら、上述したPbを含有しないアルミニウム合金においては十分な快削性が得られないため、さらなる改善が求められている。また、切削したアルミニウム合金材は陽極酸化皮膜処理がなされて使用されることもあり、陽極酸化皮膜を均一かつ速やかに生成させるべく、皮膜生成効率の改善といった快削性以外の特性も求められている。   However, since the above-described aluminum alloy not containing Pb does not provide sufficient free-cutting properties, further improvement is required. In addition, the cut aluminum alloy material may be used after being subjected to an anodized film treatment. In order to generate an anodized film uniformly and quickly, characteristics other than free-cutting properties such as improvement in film generation efficiency are also required. Yes.

以下に、本発明の切削加工用アルミニウム合金における各元素の含有義および含有量の限定理由について詳述する。   Hereinafter, the content of each element in the aluminum alloy for machining according to the present invention and the reason for limiting the content will be described in detail.

切削加工用アルミニウム合金の組成において、Cu、Zn、Bi、Sn、Bの5元素は必須元素である。   In the composition of the aluminum alloy for machining, the five elements of Cu, Zn, Bi, Sn, and B are essential elements.

Cuは、合金母相中に固溶されるとともに、Alと結合してCuAl2等の析出物として合金母相中に分散され、合金の機械的特性を向上させ、切削性を向上させる。また、他の固溶型元素との相乗効果により、これらの効果はさらに高められる。Cu含有量は、1質量%未満では前記効果が乏しく、一方6.5質量%以上になると耐食性が低下するおそれがあるため、1〜6.5質量%とする。好ましいCu含有量は4〜6質量%である。 Cu is dissolved in the alloy matrix and is combined with Al and dispersed in the alloy matrix as precipitates such as CuAl 2 , improving the mechanical properties of the alloy and improving the machinability. In addition, these effects are further enhanced by synergistic effects with other solid solution elements. If the Cu content is less than 1% by mass, the above effect is poor. On the other hand, if the Cu content is 6.5% by mass or more, the corrosion resistance may decrease, so the Cu content is set to 1 to 6.5% by mass. A preferable Cu content is 4 to 6% by mass.

Znは、合金母相中に固溶されるとともに、Mgと結合してMgZn2等の析出物として母相中に分散され、合金の機械的特性を向上させ、切削性を向上させる。また、他の固溶型元素との相乗効果により、これらの効果はさらに高められる。さらに、本発明の含有量であれば陽極酸化皮膜生成速度を向上させる効果があり、切削部品に耐摩耗性や装飾性等の向上を目的として陽極酸化処理される製品に好適に使用できる。Zn含有量は、0.05質量%未満では前記効果が乏しく、一方1質量%を越えると、陽極酸化皮膜生成速度が飽和する傾向があるため、0.05〜1質量%とする必要がある。好ましいZn含有量は0.1〜0.5質量%であり、さらには0.2質量%を越え0.5質量%以下が好ましい。 Zn is dissolved in the alloy matrix and is combined with Mg and dispersed in the matrix as a precipitate such as MgZn 2 to improve the mechanical properties of the alloy and improve the machinability. In addition, these effects are further enhanced by synergistic effects with other solid solution elements. Furthermore, if it is content of this invention, it has the effect of improving the anodic oxide film production | generation rate, and can use it suitably for the product by which an anodizing process is carried out for the purpose of improvement, such as abrasion resistance and a decoration property. If the Zn content is less than 0.05% by mass, the above effect is poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1% by mass, the anodic oxide film formation rate tends to be saturated, so it is necessary to make it 0.05 to 1% by mass. . The preferable Zn content is 0.1 to 0.5% by mass, more preferably more than 0.2% by mass and 0.5% by mass or less.

BiおよびSnは、これらが共存することで低融点のBi−Sn化合物を形成し、合金母相中に分散される。分散されたBi−Sn化合物は切削加工熱によって溶融し、切屑が溶融脆化することで優れた切屑分断性が得られる。これらの元素の含有量は、Bi:0.1〜1質量%、Sn:0.1〜1質量%とする。それぞれ下限値未満では上記効果に乏しく、上限値を越えると鋳造性が著しく低下する。これらの元素の好ましい含有量は、Bi:0.2〜0.8質量%、Sn:0.2〜0.8質量%である。   Bi and Sn coexist with each other to form a Bi-Sn compound having a low melting point and are dispersed in the alloy matrix. The dispersed Bi—Sn compound is melted by cutting heat, and the chips are melted and embrittled, whereby excellent chip breaking properties are obtained. The content of these elements is Bi: 0.1-1% by mass and Sn: 0.1-1% by mass. If each is less than the lower limit, the above effect is poor, and if the upper limit is exceeded, the castability is significantly reduced. The preferable content of these elements is Bi: 0.2 to 0.8 mass%, Sn: 0.2 to 0.8 mass%.

Bは、鋳造組織を微細化し、微細な晶出物を形成して切削性を向上させる効果がある。前記効果は微量のBを添加することによって得られる。一方、B含有量が100質量ppmを越えると、工具の摩耗や破損によって工具寿命が低下するおそれがあるため、100質量ppm以下とする。B含有量の好ましい範囲は3〜10質量ppmである。   B has an effect of improving the machinability by refining the cast structure and forming fine crystals. The effect can be obtained by adding a trace amount of B. On the other hand, if the B content exceeds 100 mass ppm, the tool life may be reduced due to wear or breakage of the tool. A preferable range of the B content is 3 to 10 ppm by mass.

また、切削加工用アルミニウム合金においては、合金の諸特性のさらなる向上を目的として、上述の必須5元素を含むアルミニウム合金を基本組成に、Fe、Mg、Si、Tiの4元素のうちから任意の1種または任意に組み合わせた2種以上の元素が添加されることがある。   Moreover, in the aluminum alloy for cutting, for the purpose of further improving various properties of the alloy, the aluminum alloy containing the above-mentioned essential five elements is used as a basic composition, and any of the four elements of Fe, Mg, Si, and Ti One or more elements may be added alone or in any combination.

Feは、Siとの共存時においてSiとの結合量が比較的少ないために、Siを切屑分断性に効果のあるSiを単独粒子として分散させることができ、優れた切屑分断性を維持することができる。また、Feはアルミニウム合金に不可避的に含有される元素であるが、その含有量が0.05〜1質量%の範囲であれば、通常の製造品質で含有される量であるから、Feの低減を図るための格別の工程を必要としない。Fe含有量は、0.05質量%未満に低減しようとすればコストが増大し、1質量%を越えるとビレット等の鋳造品の鋳肌品質が低下するとともに、Siとの化合物が増えてSi単独粒子が減少して切屑分断性が低下する。特に好ましいFe含有量は、0.05〜0.5質量%である。   Fe has a relatively small amount of bonding with Si when coexisting with Si, so that Si can be dispersed as a single particle, which is effective for chip breaking, and maintains excellent chip breaking. Can do. Moreover, Fe is an element inevitably contained in the aluminum alloy, but if the content is in the range of 0.05 to 1% by mass, it is an amount contained in normal production quality. No special process is required for reduction. If the Fe content is reduced to less than 0.05% by mass, the cost increases. If the Fe content exceeds 1% by mass, the casting surface quality of the cast product such as billet is deteriorated, and the compound with Si increases to increase Si content. Single particles are reduced and chip breaking properties are reduced. A particularly preferable Fe content is 0.05 to 0.5% by mass.

Mgは、合金母相に固溶するとともに、Cuと共存し、あるいはSiと共存することによってこれらと結合して母相中に分散し、強度および切削性を一層向上させる効果がある。Mg含有量は、0.01質量%未満では前記効果が乏しく、一方0.3質量%を越えると熱間加工性が低下するため、0.01〜0.3質量%とする。好ましいMg含有量は0.01〜0.1質量%である。   Mg is dissolved in the alloy mother phase and coexists with Cu or Si, so that it is combined with these and dispersed in the mother phase, and has the effect of further improving the strength and machinability. If the Mg content is less than 0.01% by mass, the above-described effect is poor. A preferable Mg content is 0.01 to 0.1% by mass.

Siは、アルミニウム中への固溶量が少ないために化合物形成に要する量を除いて、Siの単体粒子として合金母相中に分散され、強度および切削性を向上させる効果がある。特に、Mgとの共存によりMg2Siを形成して強度を向上させる。さらに共晶Siの分散によっても切削性向上効果が助長される。Si含有量は、0.05質量%未満では上記効果に乏しく、一方1質量%を越えると切削性は向上するものの、工具の摩耗や損傷が著しくなって工具寿命が低下するとともに、熱間加工性が低下するため、0.05〜1質量%とする必要がある。特に好ましいSi含有量は0.05〜0.5質量%である。 Since the amount of solid solution in aluminum is small, Si is dispersed in the alloy matrix as simple particles of Si except for the amount required for compound formation, and has the effect of improving strength and machinability. In particular, Mg 2 Si is formed by coexistence with Mg to improve the strength. Further, the effect of improving machinability is also promoted by the dispersion of eutectic Si. If the Si content is less than 0.05% by mass, the above effects are poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1% by mass, the machinability is improved, but the wear and damage of the tool becomes remarkable, and the tool life is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to make it 0.05 to 1% by mass. A particularly preferable Si content is 0.05 to 0.5% by mass.

Tiは、鋳塊組織を微細化させるとともに再結晶抑制効果により微細な晶出物の形成し、機械的特性および切削性を向上させる効果がある。また、耐食性向上効果がある。Ti含有量は、0.01質量%未満では再結晶抑制効果が低下し、例えば押出材表面に粗大再結晶粒が形成され易くなって、断面方向における切屑分断性が不安定となる。また、0.01質量%未満では、機械的特性や耐食性向上効果も乏しい。一方、0.5質量%を越えると押出ビレット等の鋳造性を低下させるおそれがある。従って、Ti含有量は、0.01〜0.5質量%が好ましい。特に好ましいTi含有量は0.01〜0.1質量%である。   Ti has the effect of refining the ingot structure and forming fine crystallized substances due to the effect of suppressing recrystallization, thereby improving mechanical properties and machinability. In addition, there is an effect of improving corrosion resistance. When the Ti content is less than 0.01% by mass, the effect of suppressing recrystallization is reduced. For example, coarse recrystallized grains are likely to be formed on the surface of the extruded material, and the chip breaking property in the cross-sectional direction becomes unstable. Moreover, if it is less than 0.01 mass%, the mechanical characteristics and the corrosion resistance improving effect are also poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.5 mass%, the castability of an extruded billet or the like may be reduced. Therefore, the Ti content is preferably 0.01 to 0.5% by mass. A particularly preferable Ti content is 0.01 to 0.1% by mass.

上述した任意に選択する4元素は、必須5元素に少なくとも1種また任意に組み合わせた2種以上を添加すれば対応する効果が得られる。   The above-mentioned four elements to be arbitrarily selected can obtain corresponding effects by adding at least one of the essential five elements in combination of at least one or any combination.

また、本発明の切削加工用アルミニウム合金の残部組成は、例えば不可避不純物とAlである。   Moreover, the remainder composition of the aluminum alloy for cutting of this invention is an unavoidable impurity and Al, for example.

本発明の切削加工用アルミニウム合金は、常法により、材料の溶解、スラブやビレットの鋳塊鋳造、面削、均熱処理が施され、さらに押出や圧延等の塑性加工によって所望形状に成形される。これらの工程における熱処理、時効処理、洗浄等も常法により適宜行われる。成形したアルミニウム合金材は、要すれば切削し、あるいは陽極酸化処理を施して種々の製品に加工して広く使用される。用途例として、レンズ枠、レンズ間隔管(鏡胴)、カメラの三脚固定ネジ部材等の光学機器部品、マグネットロール用フランジ、コネクタの角状ナット、外ネジ管等のOA機器および電子機器部品を例示できる。例えば前記光学機器部品は、アルミニウム合金鋳塊から棒状押出品または環状押出品を製作し、これらの押出品を切断し切削加工した後に、陽極酸化処理を施して製作される。   The aluminum alloy for machining according to the present invention is subjected to material melting, ingot casting of slabs and billets, face milling, soaking, and soaking by a conventional method, and further formed into a desired shape by plastic working such as extrusion or rolling. . Heat treatment, aging treatment, washing and the like in these steps are also appropriately performed by conventional methods. The formed aluminum alloy material is widely used after being cut or anodized if necessary and processed into various products. Examples of applications include optical equipment parts such as lens frames, lens interval tubes (lens barrels), camera tripod fixing screw members, flanges for magnet rolls, rectangular nuts for connectors, external screw pipes, and other OA equipment and electronic equipment parts. It can be illustrated. For example, the optical device component is manufactured by manufacturing a rod-like extrudate or an annular extrudate from an aluminum alloy ingot, and cutting and cutting these extrudates, followed by anodizing.

本発明のアルミニウム合金加工品は、上記切削加工用アルミニウム合金を所要形状に成形し、あるいはさらに耐摩耗性や装飾性等の向上を目的として陽極酸化皮膜を形成したものである。上述したように、材料合金はその化学組成により機械的性質、切削性、表面処理性に優れているから、上述した各種用途に好適に用いることができる。   The aluminum alloy processed product of the present invention is obtained by forming the above-described aluminum alloy for cutting into a required shape, or further forming an anodized film for the purpose of improving wear resistance, decoration, and the like. As described above, since the material alloy is excellent in mechanical properties, machinability, and surface treatment properties due to its chemical composition, it can be suitably used for the various applications described above.

前記アルミニウム合金加工品は、材料合金をいかなる方法によって成形しても良く、押出材、素材を切削加工してなる切削加工材、圧延材等を例示できる。切削加工に供する素材の種類は限定されず、押出材、圧延材などの任意の素材を対象とする。切削加工に際してはバリ生成が抑制されて良好に加工でき、ひいては優れた表面品質の加工品となし得る。   The aluminum alloy processed product may be formed by any method of forming a material alloy, and examples thereof include an extruded material, a cutting material formed by cutting a material, and a rolled material. The kind of material used for cutting is not limited, and any material such as an extruded material or a rolled material is targeted. In the cutting process, the generation of burrs is suppressed so that it can be processed satisfactorily, and as a result, a processed product with excellent surface quality can be obtained.

また、前記アルミニウム合金加工品は、成形後に陽極酸化処理を施して表面に陽極酸化皮膜を形成することもできる。皮膜処理性に優れた材料合金で構成されているために速やかに均一な皮膜が形成され、耐摩耗性や装飾性の向上といった皮膜形成による効果を最大限に享受でき、優れた表面品質の加工品となし得る。陽極酸化処理の条件は限定されず、周知の方法により適宜処理することができる。   The processed aluminum alloy product may be anodized after forming to form an anodized film on the surface. Because it is made of a material alloy with excellent film processing properties, a uniform film can be quickly formed, and the effects of film formation, such as improved wear resistance and decorativeness, can be fully enjoyed. You can do it with goods. The conditions for the anodizing treatment are not limited, and the treatment can be appropriately performed by a known method.
