Description

本発明はアルミニウム合金と高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy and a high toughness aluminum alloy casting.

近年、自動車、産業機械等で使用されている鋼板、鋼材に代替するものとして、軽量なアルミニウム鋳物が注目されている。例えば自動車用のホイールでは、軽量性、意匠性等の観点から、アルミニウム鋳物(JIS−AC4CH材)でも製作されてきている。   In recent years, lightweight aluminum castings have attracted attention as an alternative to steel plates and steel materials used in automobiles, industrial machines and the like. For example, wheels for automobiles have been manufactured from aluminum castings (JIS-AC4CH material) from the viewpoints of lightness and design.

しかしながら、従来のアルミニウム鋳物では伸びや引張強度等の点において、靱性、強度が十分でなく、小型部品への適用がなされているにすぎない。このため、より大型の物品であっても、軽量な特徴を生かして、高靱性、高強度な特性が得られるアルミニウム鋳物の実現が求められていた。   However, conventional aluminum castings are insufficient in toughness and strength in terms of elongation and tensile strength, and are only applied to small parts. Therefore, there has been a demand for an aluminum casting that can obtain high toughness and high-strength characteristics by taking advantage of its lightweight characteristics even for larger articles.

このような従来の事情から、これまでにも様々な組成を有する鋳物用アルミニウム合金とこれを用いた高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物が検討されてきている。アルミニウム:Al以外の合金組成元素としてシリコン:Siについて注目し、その含有量を1質量%以上、さらに好ましくは3.5%以上で12質量%までとし、マグネシウム:Mg、チタン:Tiを含有させた組成が提案されている(特許文献1〜6)。また、これらのうち、Siを4〜12質量%の高いレベルの含有量として、銅:Cuを1から5質量%とした組成も提案されている(特許文献5および6)。   Under such circumstances, aluminum alloys for castings having various compositions and high toughness aluminum alloy castings using the same have been studied so far. Attention is paid to silicon: Si as an alloy composition element other than aluminum: Al, and the content thereof is 1% by mass or more, more preferably 3.5% to 12% by mass, and magnesium: Mg and titanium: Ti are contained. Have been proposed (Patent Documents 1 to 6). Further, among these, a composition in which Si is a high level content of 4 to 12% by mass and copper: Cu is 1 to 5% by mass has been proposed (Patent Documents 5 and 6).

さらに、アルミニウム鋳造用の合金としては、Si:4〜13質量%、Cu:1〜5質量%とともに、亜鉛:Znを26〜40質量%の極めて高い割合で含有する合金(特許文献7)や、航空・宇宙材料へも適用可能とするための鋳造用アルミニウム合金として、Cuを3質量%以上含有するとともに、銀:Agや亜鉛:Znの含有を必須とする組成も提案されている(特許文献8および9)。   Furthermore, as an alloy for aluminum casting, Si: 4 to 13% by mass, Cu: 1 to 5% by mass, an alloy containing zinc: Zn at a very high ratio of 26 to 40% by mass (Patent Document 7) and As a casting aluminum alloy that can be applied to aviation and space materials, a composition containing 3 mass% or more of Cu and requiring the inclusion of silver: Ag or zinc: Zn has been proposed (patent) References 8 and 9).

しかしながら、従来の様々な提案にもかかわらず、これまでの鋳造アルミニウム合金においては、大型物品への適用も可能であって、例えば15%以上の伸び特性とともに270N/mm以上の引張強度等の靱性、強度にも優れたアルミニウム合金とその鋳物は実現されてきていない。 However, in spite of various conventional proposals, conventional cast aluminum alloys can also be applied to large articles, such as a tensile strength of 270 N / mm 2 or more together with an elongation characteristic of 15% or more. An aluminum alloy excellent in toughness and strength and its casting have not been realized.

そこで、本発明は、以上のとおりの従来の問題点を解決した、新しいアルミニウム合金と高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物とを提供することを課題としている。   Then, this invention makes it a subject to provide the new aluminum alloy and high toughness aluminum alloy casting which solved the conventional problem as mentioned above.

本発明は次のことを特徴としている。   The present invention is characterized by the following.

すなわち、本発明のアルミニウム合金は、その組成において、質量比率で、
Cu:2.0〜6.0%
Si:0.4%以下
Mg:0.15〜0.40%
Fe:0.2%以下
Mn:0.1%以下
Ti:0.1〜0.5%
残部として実質的にAlおよび不可避的不純物を含有する。
That is, the aluminum alloy of the present invention has a mass ratio in its composition,
Cu: 2.0 to 6.0%
Si: 0.4% or less Mg: 0.15-0.40%
Fe: 0.2% or less Mn: 0.1% or less Ti: 0.1-0.5%
The balance substantially contains Al and unavoidable impurities.

また、本発明の高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物は、上記アルミニウム合金の組成を有し、引張強さ270N/mm以上、伸び15%以上である。 The high toughness aluminum alloy casting of the present invention has the composition of the above aluminum alloy, has a tensile strength of 270 N / mm 2 or more and an elongation of 15% or more.

本発明によれば、軽量性というアルミニウム材の特長を生かし、しかも鋳物として大型物品、例えば、自動車や産業機器、さらには医療機器、CTスキャン装置等への適用も可能な、伸び、引張強度の靱性、強度に優れたアルミニウム合金鋳物が実現可能とされる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to apply the advantages of the aluminum material such as light weight, and to be applicable to large articles such as automobiles, industrial equipment, medical equipment, CT scanning devices, etc. An aluminum alloy casting excellent in toughness and strength can be realized.

実施例品と既存品とを比較して例示した応力・ひずみ曲線図である。It is the stress * strain curve figure illustrated by comparing the example goods and the existing goods.

本発明の鋳造用のアルミニウム合金は前記のとおりの元素組成をもつものであるが、さらに以下に詳しく説明する。   The aluminum alloy for casting of the present invention has the elemental composition as described above, and will be described in detail below.

<Si>
Siは、従来では比較的高い3〜12質量%で含有される場合が多い。Siは、伸び等の靱性、湯流れ性等の鋳造性に影響を及ぼす。本発明では、従来例とは相違して極めて低レベルの0.4質量%以下で含有する。より好ましくは0.1〜0.3質量%の範囲内とする。
<Si>
Conventionally, Si is often contained at a relatively high content of 3 to 12% by mass. Si affects toughness such as elongation and castability such as molten metal flow. In the present invention, unlike the conventional example, it is contained at an extremely low level of 0.4% by mass or less. More preferably, it is in the range of 0.1 to 0.3% by mass.

<Cu>
Cuは強度向上に有効である。本発明では2.0〜6.0質量%の範囲で含有する。ただ、Cuは、耐食性に影響を及ぼすことから、好ましくは2.0〜4.0質量%の範囲内とする。
<Cu>
Cu is effective for improving the strength. In this invention, it contains in 2.0-6.0 mass%. However, since Cu influences corrosion resistance, it is preferably in the range of 2.0 to 4.0 mass%.

<Mg>
Mgは、強度の向上に寄与する。本発明では、0.15〜0.40質量%の範囲で含有する。ただ、0.40質量%を超えると靱性に影響を及ぼす。このため、より好ましくは、0.2〜0.3質量%の範囲内とする。
<Mg>
Mg contributes to improvement in strength. In this invention, it contains in 0.15 to 0.40 mass%. However, if it exceeds 0.40% by mass, the toughness is affected. For this reason, More preferably, it shall be in the range of 0.2-0.3 mass%.

<Ti>
Tiは、結晶粒を微細化させ、靱性の向上に寄与する。本発明では、0.1〜0.5質量%の範囲で含有する。好ましくは、0.25〜0.50質量%の範囲内とする。
<Ti>
Ti contributes to refinement of crystal grains and improvement of toughness. In this invention, it contains in 0.1-0.5 mass%. Preferably, it is in the range of 0.25 to 0.50 mass%.

<Fe>
Feは、針状結晶を形成することから、0.2質量%を超えると靱性の低下を招く。このため0.2質量%以下とする。
<Fe>
Since Fe forms needle-like crystals, if it exceeds 0.2% by mass, toughness is reduced. For this reason, it is 0.2 mass% or less.

<Mn>
Mnは、0.1質量%を超えると靱性を低下させる。本発明では0.1質量%以下とする。
<Mn>
When Mn exceeds 0.1 mass%, toughness will be reduced. In the present invention, the content is 0.1% by mass or less.

また、本発明においては、Zn、Cr、Sn、Pb等は従来しばしば有効元素として含有されていたが、いずれも0.1質量%以下とする。   In the present invention, Zn, Cr, Sn, Pb and the like have been conventionally often contained as effective elements, but all of them are made to be 0.1% by mass or less.

本発明の高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物については、前記のとおり、引張強さは、270N/mm以上、より好ましくは280N/mm以上である。また、伸びは15%以上、より好ましくは16%以上である。 The high-toughness aluminum alloy casting of the present invention, as described above, tensile strength, 270N / mm 2 or more, more preferably 280N / mm 2 or more. Further, the elongation is 15% or more, more preferably 16% or more.

また、ブリネル硬さ(HBW(10/500))は、好ましくは72〜76の範囲内である。   The Brinell hardness (HBW (10/500)) is preferably in the range of 72 to 76.

以上のような高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物は、通常は、従来同様に熱処理される。すなわち、鋳造後に焼入れ、焼なまし処理されて高靱性アルミニウム合金鋳物が得られることになる。   The high toughness aluminum alloy castings as described above are usually heat treated in the same manner as in the past. That is, a high toughness aluminum alloy casting is obtained by quenching and annealing after casting.

次に実施例を示し、さらに詳しく説明する。   Next, examples will be shown and described in more detail.

表1に示したアルミニウムを除いての各種元素組成のアルミニウム合金を鋳造した。その後、480℃以上の温度で焼入れし、静置後に200℃以下の温度で焼なまし(炉内冷却)を行った。   Aluminum alloys having various elemental compositions excluding aluminum shown in Table 1 were cast. Then, it hardened at the temperature of 480 degreeC or more, and annealed at the temperature of 200 degrees C or less after standing (cooling in a furnace).

得られたアルミニウム合金鋳物について試験を行ったところ、表1の実施例のいずれの組成のアルミニウム合金鋳物は、供試材直径13.8mmにおいて、引張強さ270N/mm以上、伸び15%以上の強度と靱性に共に優れたものであることが確認された。 When the obtained aluminum alloy casting was tested, the aluminum alloy casting having any composition in the examples of Table 1 had a tensile strength of 270 N / mm 2 or more and an elongation of 15% or more at a specimen diameter of 13.8 mm. It was confirmed that it was excellent in both strength and toughness.
