Description

この発明は、切削性に優れた快削アルミニウム合金押出材、特にPbを添加することなく切削性を向上させた快削アルミニウム合金押出材に関するものであり、OH基を含むアルコール液に対する耐食性に優れた快削アルミニウム合金押出材を提供するものである。   The present invention relates to a free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material excellent in machinability, in particular, a free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material improved in machinability without adding Pb, and excellent in corrosion resistance to an alcohol liquid containing an OH group. A free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material is provided.

周知のようにアルミニウム合金は一般に切削性が良好であるため、軸受け、光学部品、自動車部品など、切削加工が必要とされる部品、部材に従来から広く使用されている。このようなアルミニウム合金の切削加工においては、切粉が連続した長いものとならずに細かく分断されること、すなわち切粉分断性が良好であることが望ましいとされている。   As is well known, since aluminum alloys generally have good cutting properties, they have been widely used for parts and members that require cutting, such as bearings, optical parts, and automobile parts. In such an aluminum alloy cutting process, it is desirable that the chips are finely divided without being continuous and long, that is, it is preferable that the chips are good.

ところで従来、切削性に優れたアルミニウム合金材としては、Al−Cu合金に、Pb、Biを添加したJIS2011合金や、Al−Mg−Si系合金にPb、Biを添加したJIS6262合金などの押出材が多用されている。しかしながら、Pbは環境に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがあるところから、近年は環境問題重視の観点から、Pbを添加せずに切削性を向上させたアルミニウム合金が要求されるようになっている。そこで最近では、Pb−Biを添加したJIS6262合金(Pb−Bi添加)に代えて、Pbを添加しないSn−Bi添加合金が提案されており、切削性、耐食性などにおいてJIS6262合金とほぼ同等の性能を持つ快削アルミニウム合金が流通されつつある(例えば特許文献1参照)。
特開平9−25533号公報
By the way, conventionally, as an aluminum alloy material excellent in machinability, extruded materials such as JIS2011 alloy in which Pb and Bi are added to an Al—Cu alloy, and JIS6262 alloy in which Pb and Bi are added to an Al—Mg—Si alloy. Is frequently used. However, since Pb may adversely affect the environment, in recent years, an aluminum alloy having improved machinability without adding Pb has been required from the viewpoint of emphasizing environmental problems. Therefore, recently, an Sn-Bi-added alloy not containing Pb has been proposed in place of the JIS6262 alloy (Pb-Bi added) to which Pb-Bi has been added. A free-cutting aluminum alloy having the following characteristics is being distributed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-25533

前記提案に示されるようなSn−Bi添加快削アルミニウム合金においては、120℃以上の高温において、OH基を1つ以上含むアルコール液に接すれば腐食もしくは溶解するという現象が生じてしまう問題がある。この現象は、Sn添加合金に顕著に見られるものであり、高温で反応が著しく、またガスを発生しながら反応すること、さらに反応に潜伏期間が存在すること、そして特にOH基が存在するアルコール液で溶解することなどが確認されており、これらの点から、アルコキシド反応によるものと推定されている。そのためSn−Bi添加アルミニウム合金を、例えばブレーキ部品として使用して、OH基を1つ以上含む高温ブレーキ液と接触させた場合には、Sn−Bi添加アルミニウム合金が、腐食もしくは溶解してしまって、ブレーキ部品としての機能を果たさなくなることが懸念される。そのためSn−Bi添加快削アルミニウム合金は、Pbを添加せずに良好な切削性を確保できる利点はあるものの、ブレーキ部品など、高温のOH基含有アルコール液と接するような環境での使用はためらわれていたのが実情である。   The Sn-Bi-added free-cutting aluminum alloy as shown in the above proposal has a problem that it causes corrosion or dissolution when it comes into contact with an alcohol solution containing one or more OH groups at a high temperature of 120 ° C or higher. . This phenomenon is prominently observed in Sn-added alloys. The reaction is remarkable at high temperatures, the reaction occurs while gas is generated, and there is a latent period in the reaction. It has been confirmed that it is dissolved in a liquid, and from these points, it is presumed to be due to an alkoxide reaction. Therefore, when the Sn—Bi-added aluminum alloy is used as a brake component, for example, and brought into contact with a high-temperature brake fluid containing one or more OH groups, the Sn—Bi-added aluminum alloy is corroded or dissolved. There is a concern that it will no longer function as a brake component. Therefore, although the Sn-Bi-added free-cutting aluminum alloy has the advantage of ensuring good machinability without adding Pb, its use in an environment where it comes into contact with a high-temperature OH group-containing alcohol solution such as brake parts is reluctant. It was the actual situation.

この発明は以上の事情を背景としてなされたもので、Al−Mg−Si系合金において、Pbを添加せずにSnおよびBiを添加して良好な切削性を維持すると同時に、OH基を1つ以上含む高温アルコール液との腐食反応を抑制し得る快削アルミニウム合金押出材を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention was made against the background described above. In an Al—Mg—Si alloy, Sn and Bi were added without adding Pb to maintain good machinability, and at the same time, one OH group was added. It is an object of the present invention to provide a free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material that can suppress the corrosion reaction with the high-temperature alcohol solution contained above.

本発明者等は、前述の課題を解決するべく、鋭意実験・検討を重ねた結果、Pbを添加しないAl−Mg−Si系合金において、Sn、Biを添加しつつも、Sn添加量を適切に規制すると同時に、新たにCuを適切な量だけ添加することによって、良好な切削性を確保しつつ、OH基を含有する高温アルコール液との接触による腐食、溶解を抑制し得ることを見出し、この発明をなすに至ったのである。   As a result of intensive experiments and examinations to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have found that an appropriate amount of Sn is added while adding Sn and Bi in an Al-Mg-Si alloy not containing Pb. At the same time, by adding an appropriate amount of Cu newly, it was found that corrosion and dissolution due to contact with a high-temperature alcohol solution containing OH groups can be suppressed while ensuring good cutting properties, It came to make this invention.

この発明の快削アルミニウム合金押出材は、Al−Mg−Si系合金押出材として、Pbを添加することなく、従来の快削合金、例えばJIS6262合金などと同等の良好な切削性を得ることができると同時に、耐アルコール腐食性に優れたものであり、そのため120℃程度以上の高温でOH基を含有するアルコール液と接する環境下で使用される切削加工部品として、そのような環境下で腐食もしくは溶解することが有効に抑制され、したがってブレーキ部品等として安全に使用することができる。   The free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material of the present invention can obtain a good machinability equivalent to that of a conventional free-cutting alloy such as JIS6262 without adding Pb as an Al-Mg-Si alloy extruded material. At the same time, it has excellent resistance to alcohol corrosion. Therefore, it is corroded in such an environment as a machined part used in an environment where it comes into contact with an alcohol solution containing an OH group at a high temperature of about 120 ° C. or higher. Alternatively, dissolution is effectively suppressed, so that it can be safely used as a brake part or the like.

以下に、この発明の実施形態について説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

先ずこの発明の快削アルミニウム合金押出材における各合金元素の限定理由について説明する。   First, the reasons for limitation of each alloy element in the free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material of the present invention will be described.

Si、Mg:
SiとMgは、Mg2Siを析出して強度向上に寄与する。Si量が0.4%未満またはMg量が0.8%未満では、強度向上の効果が小さく、一方、Si量が0.8%を越えるかまたはMg量が1.2%を越えれば、押出性等の加工性が低下する。したがってSi量は0.4〜0.8%の範囲内、Mg量は0.8〜1.2%の範囲内とした。
Si, Mg:
Si and Mg precipitate Mg 2 Si and contribute to strength improvement. If the Si amount is less than 0.4% or the Mg amount is less than 0.8%, the effect of improving the strength is small. On the other hand, if the Si amount exceeds 0.8% or the Mg amount exceeds 1.2%, Processability such as extrudability is reduced. Therefore, the Si amount is in the range of 0.4 to 0.8%, and the Mg amount is in the range of 0.8 to 1.2%.

Sn、Bi:
Sn、Biの添加は切削性、特に切粉分断性の向上に寄与する。すなわちSn、Biは、アルミニウムにはほとんど固溶せずにSn−Bi系化合物として存在し、かつその融点は低く、そのため切削加工時には加工熱により化合物が溶融して、切粉にノッチが入って切粉分断性が向上すると考えられる。ここで、Snの融点は232℃、Biの融点は271℃と、ともに低融点ではあるが、Sn−Bi化合物では融点が139℃と、より一層低融点となるため、切粉分断性向上の効果が大きい。そのため切粉分断性を充分に向上させるために、Sn、Biを同時に添加することとした。切粉分断性は、Sn、Biの添加量が多いほど向上し、Sn、Bi同時添加の効果を発揮させるためには、Biを0.3%以上とする必要があり、またSnは0.1%以上とすることが必要である。またSn、Biの合計添加量が0.5%未満では充分な切粉分断性が得られず、一方合計添加量が1.5%を越えれば耐食性が低下する。一方、Snを多量に添加すれば、OH基を含む高温のアルコール液と接した場合に溶解反応を引起こしてしまうおそれがあり、特にSn添加量が0.5%を越えればその傾向が著しくなる。そしてSn量を0.5%以下に制限すれば、OH基との反応が顕著に軽減されて、120℃の高温アルコール液に120時間接したときの腐食もしくは溶解による重量減少率が0.5%以下となる。一方、Biが1.0%を越えれば、耐食性が劣化するので好ましくない。したがってこれらの理由から、Snは0.1〜0.5%の範囲内、Biは0.3〜1.0%の範囲内、さらにSnとBiの合計添加量を0.5〜1.5%の範囲内に規制することとした。
Sn, Bi:
Addition of Sn and Bi contributes to the improvement of the machinability, particularly the chip breaking property. In other words, Sn and Bi are hardly dissolved in aluminum and exist as Sn-Bi compounds, and their melting points are low. Therefore, the compound melts by machining heat during cutting, and notches are formed in the chips. It is considered that the chip breaking property is improved. Here, Sn has a melting point of 232 ° C. and Bi has a melting point of 271 ° C., both of which are low melting points, but the Sn—Bi compound has a melting point of 139 ° C., which is a much lower melting point. Great effect. For this reason, Sn and Bi are added simultaneously in order to sufficiently improve the chip breaking property. The chip breaking property is improved as the addition amount of Sn and Bi is increased. In order to exhibit the effect of simultaneous addition of Sn and Bi, Bi needs to be 0.3% or more. It is necessary to set it to 1% or more. Further, if the total addition amount of Sn and Bi is less than 0.5%, sufficient chip breaking property cannot be obtained, while if the total addition amount exceeds 1.5%, the corrosion resistance decreases. On the other hand, if a large amount of Sn is added, there is a risk of causing a dissolution reaction when it comes into contact with a high-temperature alcohol solution containing OH groups. In particular, if the Sn addition amount exceeds 0.5%, the tendency is remarkable. Become. And if the amount of Sn is limited to 0.5% or less, the reaction with OH groups is remarkably reduced, and the weight reduction rate due to corrosion or dissolution when exposed to a 120 ° C. high temperature alcohol solution for 120 hours is 0.5 % Or less. On the other hand, if Bi exceeds 1.0%, corrosion resistance deteriorates, which is not preferable. Therefore, for these reasons, Sn is in the range of 0.1 to 0.5%, Bi is in the range of 0.3 to 1.0%, and the total addition amount of Sn and Bi is 0.5 to 1.5%. It was decided to regulate within the range of%.

Cu:
Cuは、マトリックス中に固溶することにより強度向上に寄与する元素であるが、本発明者等は、Cuの添加は強度向上のみならず、OH基を含むアルコール液への溶解を抑制する効果を奏することを新規に見出し、この発明ではCuを積極添加することとした。ここで、Cu量が0.1%未満ではその効果が充分に得られず、一方Cu添加量が0.4%を越えれば、一般的な耐食性が低下してしまう。そこでCuの添加量は0.1〜0.4%の範囲内とした。
Cu:
Cu is an element that contributes to strength improvement by solid solution in the matrix. However, the present inventors have the effect that addition of Cu not only improves strength but also suppresses dissolution in an alcohol solution containing an OH group. In the present invention, Cu was positively added. Here, if the amount of Cu is less than 0.1%, the effect cannot be sufficiently obtained. On the other hand, if the amount of Cu added exceeds 0.4%, general corrosion resistance is lowered. Therefore, the amount of Cu added is in the range of 0.1 to 0.4%.

Fe:
Feは、Al−Fe系あるいはAl−Fe−Si系などの化合物を形成して、切粉分断性の向上に寄与する元素であり、そこで請求項2、請求項4の発明の合金においてFeを積極添加することとした。ここで、Feを0.75%以上添加することにより切粉分断性を向上させることができるが、Fe量が0.9%を越えれば押出成形性を低下させてしまうから、Feを積極添加する場合のFe量は0.75〜0.9%の範囲内とした。なお通常のアルミニウム合金においてもFeは不可避的不純物として含有される元素であり、したがって請求項1、請求項3の発明の合金の場合も、0.75%未満のFeが不可避的不純物として含有されることは許容される。
Fe:
Fe is an element that forms a compound such as an Al-Fe system or an Al-Fe-Si system and contributes to the improvement of chip breaking property. Therefore, in the alloys of the inventions of claims 2 and 4, Fe is added. The active addition was decided. Here, adding 0.75% or more of Fe can improve the chip breaking property, but if Fe content exceeds 0.9%, the extrudability will be reduced, so Fe is actively added. In this case, the amount of Fe was set in the range of 0.75 to 0.9%. Even in ordinary aluminum alloys, Fe is an element contained as an inevitable impurity. Therefore, even in the case of the alloys according to claims 1 and 3, less than 0.75% of Fe is contained as an inevitable impurity. It is permissible.

Ti:
Tiは、通常のアルミニウム合金において鋳塊結晶粒微細化材として添加することが多い元素であり、この発明の場合も、Ti添加による結晶粒微細化を通じて、強度向上および切粉分断性向上の効果を得ることができ、そこで請求項3、請求項4の発明の合金においてTiを添加することとした。但しTi添加量が0.01%未満では前述の効果が充分に得られず、一方Ti添加量が0.20%を越えてもそれ以上効果は向上しないから、Tiを添加する場合のTi添加量は0.01〜0.20%の範囲内とした。なお請求項1、請求項2の発明の合金でも、不可避的不純物として0.01%未満のTiが含有されることは許容される。
Ti:
Ti is an element often added as an ingot crystal grain refining material in a normal aluminum alloy. In the case of this invention as well, the effect of improving strength and improving chip breaking through crystal grain refining by addition of Ti. Therefore, Ti was added to the alloys of the inventions of claims 3 and 4. However, if the Ti addition amount is less than 0.01%, the above effect cannot be obtained sufficiently. On the other hand, if the Ti addition amount exceeds 0.20%, the effect is not further improved. The amount was in the range of 0.01 to 0.20%. Note that the alloys of the inventions of claims 1 and 2 are allowed to contain Ti of less than 0.01% as an inevitable impurity.

以上の各合金元素のほかは、基本的にはAlおよび不可避的不純物とすればよい。   In addition to the above alloy elements, Al and inevitable impurities may be basically used.

上述のように、Al−Mg−Si系合金に対して、適切な量だけSn、Biを添加し、かつCuを少量だけ添加したこの発明のアルミニウム合金押出材は、Pbの添加なしで良好な切削性を得ると同時に、良好な耐アルコール腐食性を得て、OH基を含むアルコール液に高温で接した場合でも、溶解もしくは腐食することを有効に抑制することができる。ここで、耐アルコール腐食性の指標としては、OH基を1つ以上含むアルコール液に120℃で120時間接した場合の腐食減量が0.5重量%以下であれば、耐アルコール腐食性が良好と認めることができる。そして前述のようなこの発明で規定する成分組成範囲内の合金であれば、上記の指標を充分に満たすことができる。   As described above, the aluminum alloy extruded material of the present invention in which Sn and Bi are added in appropriate amounts and only a small amount of Cu is added to the Al—Mg—Si based alloy is good without adding Pb. At the same time as obtaining machinability, good alcohol corrosion resistance can be obtained, and dissolution or corrosion can be effectively suppressed even when contacted with an alcohol solution containing an OH group at a high temperature. Here, as an index of the alcohol corrosion resistance, if the corrosion weight loss when contacting with an alcohol liquid containing one or more OH groups at 120 ° C. for 120 hours is 0.5% by weight or less, the alcohol corrosion resistance is good. Can be recognized. And if it is an alloy within the component composition range prescribed | regulated by this invention as mentioned above, said parameter | index can fully be satisfy | filled.

なおOH基を含むアルコールの例としては、トリエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル(C7H15O3−OH)などが挙げられるが、これに限定されるものではない。   Examples of alcohols containing OH groups include, but are not limited to, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (C7H15O3-OH).

なおまた、この発明の快削アルミニウム合金押出材を製造する方法は特に限定されるものではなく、常法に従って製造すれば良い。例えば通常の方法により溶解・鋳造し、必要に応じて均質化処理を行なってから押出加工(通常は熱間押出)を行なえば良い。さらに押出加工後の処理・調質についても特に限定されるものではなく、通常の製造条件により、用途に応じて調質を選択すれば良い。例えば、熱間押出上がりままのT1でも良いし、溶体化・人工時効を施したT6でも良く、さらには溶体化・冷間加工・人工時効を施したT8、T9でも良い。なお切粉分断性は、一般に硬度が高い方が良好であることから、溶体化後に冷間加工や人工時効を施すT3、T8、T9等の調質が特に好ましい。   In addition, the method for producing the free-cutting aluminum alloy extruded material of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be produced according to a conventional method. For example, melting and casting may be performed by a normal method, and homogenization may be performed as necessary, followed by extrusion (usually hot extrusion). Further, the processing and tempering after the extrusion are not particularly limited, and the tempering may be selected according to the application under normal production conditions. For example, T1 as it is after hot extrusion may be used, T6 may be subjected to solution / artificial aging, and T8 and T9 may be subjected to solution / cold working / artificial aging. In addition, since the chip parting property is generally better when the hardness is higher, tempering such as T3, T8, and T9, which is subjected to cold working or artificial aging after solution forming, is particularly preferable.

以下にこの発明の実施例を、比較例とともに示す。なお以下の各実施例は、飽くまで説明のためのものであり、この発明の技術的範囲を制限するものでないことはもちろんである。   Examples of the present invention are shown below together with comparative examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

表1の合金No.1〜No.28に示す組成の各合金を溶解し、常法に従ってDC鋳造を行なって直径220mmの鋳塊(ビレット)を得た。この鋳塊に550℃×6時間の均質化処理を施した後、400℃で熱間押出を行なって直径35mmの丸棒材とした。これに520℃×2時間の溶体化処理を施した後、直ちに水冷することにより焼入れし、さらに180℃×8時間の人工時効処理を行った。   Alloy No. 1 in Table 1 1-No. Each alloy having the composition shown in 28 was melted, and DC casting was performed according to a conventional method to obtain an ingot (billette) having a diameter of 220 mm. The ingot was homogenized at 550 ° C. for 6 hours and then hot extruded at 400 ° C. to obtain a round bar having a diameter of 35 mm. This was subjected to a solution treatment at 520 ° C. for 2 hours, and then immediately quenched with water, followed by an artificial aging treatment at 180 ° C. for 8 hours.

以上のようにして得られた各押出材について、次のように切削試験およびアルコールへの浸漬試験を行なった。
(1)切削試験

(2)アルコールへの浸漬試験
OH基を含むアルコール液に対する浸漬試験を行なって、耐アルコール腐食性を評価した。具体的には、前述のようにして得られた直径35mmの棒状押出材を切削加工して、直径30mm、厚さ5mmの円盤状試験片とし、その試験片を、OH基を有するアルコール類であるトリエチレングリコールモノメチルエーテル(C7H15O3−OH)を主成分として含有する市販の自動車用ブレーキ液(米国連邦安全基準:Federal Motor Vehicle Safety StandardのDOT3規格品)に浸漬し、120℃×120時間の浸漬保持を行なった。
Each extruded material obtained as described above was subjected to a cutting test and an immersion test in alcohol as follows.
(1) Cutting test Using the above-mentioned extruded material, a cutting test by external cutting was performed to evaluate the chip breaking property. The cutting conditions were a rotation speed of 2000 rpm, a cut amount of 1 mm, and a feed amount of 0.04 mm / rev.
(2) Immersion test in alcohol An immersion test in an alcohol solution containing an OH group was conducted to evaluate alcohol corrosion resistance. Specifically, the rod-shaped extruded material having a diameter of 35 mm obtained as described above is cut into a disk-shaped test piece having a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 5 mm, and the test piece is made of an alcohol having an OH group. Immersion in a commercially available automotive brake fluid (US Federal Safety Standard: Federal Motor Safety Standard DOT3 standard product) containing triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (C7H15O3-OH) as the main component and 120 ° C x 120 hours immersion Holding was performed.

これらの切削試験による切粉分断性評価結果、およびアルコール液への浸漬試験による耐アルコール腐食性評価(−OH溶液溶解性評価)結果を表2に示す。なおこれらの試験、評価のほか、一般的な耐食性評価として、常法に従って塩水噴霧試験を行ない、また強度評価として、常法に従って、引張強さ、耐力、伸びおよび硬さを調べた。   Table 2 shows the results of evaluation of chip breaking by these cutting tests, and evaluation of alcohol corrosion resistance (-OH solution solubility evaluation) by immersion test in an alcohol solution. In addition to these tests and evaluations, as a general corrosion resistance evaluation, a salt spray test was conducted according to a conventional method, and as a strength evaluation, tensile strength, proof stress, elongation and hardness were examined according to a conventional method.

ここで、切粉分断性の評価にあたっては、切粉100個当りの質量で4段階評価した。評価基準は、A:4g以下、B:4gを越え8g以下、C:8gを越え30g以下、D:30gより大、とした。   Here, in the evaluation of the chip breaking property, the mass per 100 chips was evaluated in four stages. The evaluation criteria were A: 4 g or less, B: more than 4 g and 8 g or less, C: more than 8 g and 30 g or less, and D: greater than 30 g.

また耐アルコール腐食性評価については、前述のように120℃×120時間の浸漬保持による重量減少率を調べ、重量減少量が0%のものをa、0.5%以下(0%を含まず)のものをb、0.5%を越えたものをcとして3段階評価を行なった。   As for the alcohol corrosion resistance evaluation, as described above, the weight reduction rate by dipping and holding at 120 ° C. for 120 hours was examined. ) Was evaluated on a three-stage scale, with b being more than 0.5% and c being more than 0.5%.

合金No.1〜No.12は、いずれもSn、Bi、Cuをこの発明で規定する範囲内で添加し、さらにSi、Mg、Fe、Tiの各元素の量もこの発明で規定する範囲内とした発明合金であり、これらの発明合金は、いずれも良好な切粉分断性を示すとともに、良好な耐アルコール腐食性を示すことが判明し、またそのほか一般的な耐食性や、強度、押出性等の点でも特に問題がないことが確認された。なおこれらの発明合金No.1〜No.12のうち、Feを0.75%以上0.9%以下添加した発明合金No.11、No.12は、前記の切粉分断性の評価指標では他の発明合金と変わらなかったが、目視による切粉形状の評価において、他の発明合金よりも切粉が分断され易く良好であることが確認された。   Alloy No. 1-No. No. 12 is an invention alloy in which Sn, Bi, Cu is added within the range specified in the present invention, and the amounts of each element of Si, Mg, Fe, Ti are also within the range specified in the present invention, These invention alloys were all found to exhibit good chip breaking properties and good alcohol corrosion resistance, and in addition, there were other problems with general corrosion resistance, strength, extrudability, etc. Not confirmed. These invention alloys No. 1-No. 12 of the invention alloy No. 12 with Fe added at 0.75% or more and 0.9% or less. 11, no. No. 12 was the same as the other invention alloys in the above-mentioned evaluation index of chip breaking property, but in the evaluation of the chip shape by visual observation, it was confirmed that the chips were more easily cut off than the other invention alloys. It was done.

一方、合金No.13〜No.28は、成分元素のうちのいずれか一つ以上がこの発明で規定する範囲を外れた比較合金であり、これらの比較合金では、切粉分断性(切削性)、耐アルコール腐食性、あるいは塩水噴霧試験耐性などの一般的な耐食性、強度、押出性のいずれかの特性が劣っていることが判明した。   On the other hand, Alloy No. 13-No. 28 is a comparative alloy in which any one or more of the constituent elements are out of the range specified in the present invention. In these comparative alloys, the chip breaking property (cutting property), the alcohol corrosion resistance, or the salt water It was found that any one of general corrosion resistance such as spray test resistance, strength, and extrudability was inferior.

すなわち、先ず比較合金No.16、No.21、No.22の場合は、SnあるいはBiの添加量がこの発明で規定する量より少ないため、アルコール液による腐食はほとんどないものの、切粉分断性に劣っていた。このうち、比較合金No.16、No.22は、Sn添加量およびSn+Bi添加量がともにこの発明で規定する下限量に満たないため、切粉分断性評価がCと悪かったが、比較合金No.21は、Bi添加量は本発明で規定する下限量に若干満たないものの、Sn添加量およびSn+Bi添加量がこの発明で規定する範囲を満たしていることから、切粉分断性評価はBとなった。一方、Sn添加量がこの発明で規定する上限(0.5%)より多い比較合金No.17、No.18、あるいはSn+Bi添加量がこの発明で規定する上限量(1.5%)より多い比較合金No.13、No.14、No.17では、切粉分断性は優れるものの、アルコール液への溶解が激しくなってしまった。   That is, first, comparative alloy No. 16, no. 21, no. In the case of No. 22, since the addition amount of Sn or Bi was less than the amount specified in the present invention, although there was almost no corrosion by the alcohol liquid, the chip breaking property was inferior. Among these, comparative alloy No. 16, no. In No. 22, the amount of Sn added and the amount of Sn + Bi added were both less than the lower limit specified in the present invention, so that the chip breaking evaluation was bad as C. In No. 21, although the Bi addition amount is slightly less than the lower limit amount specified in the present invention, the amount of Sn addition and the Sn + Bi addition amount satisfy the range specified in the present invention. It was. On the other hand, comparative alloy No. with a Sn addition amount larger than the upper limit (0.5%) specified in the present invention. 17, no. 18, or comparative alloy No. in which Sn + Bi addition amount is larger than the upper limit amount (1.5%) specified in the present invention. 13, no. 14, no. In No. 17, although the chip breaking property was excellent, dissolution in the alcohol liquid became intense.

また比較合金No.20の場合、切粉分断性およびアルコール液への溶解性は、ともに問題がなかったが、Biが1.0%を越えているため、塩水噴霧試験耐性などの一般的な耐食性で若干劣っていることが確認された。   Comparative alloy No. In the case of 20, there was no problem in both the chip breaking property and the solubility in the alcohol solution, but since Bi exceeded 1.0%, the general corrosion resistance such as salt spray test resistance was slightly inferior. It was confirmed that

さらに、比較合金No.23の場合は、切粉分断性およびアルコール液への溶解性は、ともに問題がなかったが、Fe量が0.9%を越えているため、押出性が低下した。   Further, comparative alloy No. In the case of No. 23, there was no problem in both the chip breaking property and the solubility in the alcohol solution, but since the amount of Fe exceeded 0.9%, the extrudability was lowered.

一方、比較合金No.15、No.19、No.24〜No.28は、主に強度に影響するSi、Cu、Mg量がこの発明で規定する範囲から外れているものであり、これらの合金元素の添加量の多少は、切粉分断性には大きな影響を与えないが、添加量の少ないものは強度低下、また添加量の多いものは押出性の低下が見られた。   On the other hand, Comparative Alloy No. 15, no. 19, no. 24-No. In No. 28, the amounts of Si, Cu, and Mg that mainly affect the strength are out of the range defined in the present invention, and the amount of these alloy elements added has a great influence on the chip breaking property. Although not given, when the amount added was small, the strength decreased, and when the amount added was large, the extrudability decreased.

具体的には、比較合金No.15は、Mg添加量が不足しているため、充分な強度が得られなかった。また比較合金No.19は、Cuが添加されていないため、充分な強度が得られず、同時にOH基を含むアルコール液への溶解が生じた。ここで、比較合金No.19のアルコール液への溶解量は、表2に示すように評価としてはbに相当したが、重量減少率は0.5%に近くてc評価に近く、このことは、Cuがこの発明の規定量に不足していればOH基を含むアルコール液に対する耐食性が充分には得られなくなることを示している。さらに比較合金No.24は、Si添加量が不足しているため、充分な強度が得られなかった。一方比較合金No.25、No.26、No.28は、Si量またはMg量が多過ぎたため、押出性等の加工性に劣り、試験合金を作製できなかった。そしてまた比較合金No.27は、Cu量が多過ぎたため、塩水噴霧試験耐性などの一般的な耐食性が劣ることが確認された。   Specifically, Comparative Alloy No. No. 15 was insufficient in Mg addition amount, so sufficient strength could not be obtained. Comparative alloy No. In No. 19, since Cu was not added, sufficient strength was not obtained, and at the same time, dissolution in an alcohol solution containing OH groups occurred. Here, comparative alloy No. As shown in Table 2, the amount of 19 dissolved in the alcohol solution corresponded to b as an evaluation, but the weight loss rate was close to 0.5% and was close to c evaluation. If the specified amount is insufficient, the corrosion resistance to the alcohol liquid containing OH groups cannot be obtained sufficiently. Furthermore, comparative alloy No. In No. 24, since the amount of Si added was insufficient, sufficient strength could not be obtained. On the other hand, comparative alloy No. 25, no. 26, no. No. 28 was inferior in workability such as extrudability because the amount of Si or Mg was too large, and a test alloy could not be produced. And again, comparative alloy No. It was confirmed that No. 27 was inferior in general corrosion resistance such as salt spray test resistance because the amount of Cu was too much.
