Description

The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy foil that can be used for packaging materials and the like.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-107733 filed in Japan on June 29, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein.

Packaging materials using aluminum foil, such as battery exteriors, are generally laminated with resin films on both or one side. The aluminum foil is responsible for the barrier properties, and the resin film is mainly responsible for the rigidity of the product.
Conventionally, pure aluminum and Al--Fe alloys such as JIS A8079 and 8021 have been used as aluminum foils for packaging materials. Soft foils made of pure aluminum or Al-Fe alloys generally have low strength, so if the foil is made thinner, handling may deteriorate due to wrinkles or bending, or cracks or pinholes may occur in the aluminum foil due to impact. There is a fear. Regarding aluminum foil, increasing the strength is generally effective in resolving these concerns.
For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a high-strength foil made of an Al--Fe--Mn alloy that actively contains Mn.

However, the addition of Mn to Al--Fe alloys has a large risk of causing coarsening of intermetallic compounds and the formation of giant Al--Fe--Mn-based crystallized substances, thereby reducing formability.

JP2016-079487A

The present invention was made against the background of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy foil having excellent formability and strength.

That is, the first aspect of the present invention includes Si: 0.1% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less, Fe: 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, Mg: 0.10% by mass or more and 1 .5% by mass or less, with the remainder consisting of Al and unavoidable impurities, and the length L1 of large-angle grain boundaries and the length L2 of small-angle grain boundaries per unit area measured by backscattered electron diffraction method.

It is a figure which shows the planar shape of the square punch used in the limit forming height test in an Example. It is a micrograph showing the surface of an aluminum alloy foil used for corrosive evaluation in Examples. (a) is a surface without corrosion; (b) is a surface with corrosion.

The aluminum alloy foil of this embodiment will be explained below.

・Fe: 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less Fe crystallizes as an Al-Fe intermetallic compound during casting, and if the size of the compound is large, it becomes a site for recrystallization during annealing, so it cannot be re-crystallized. It has the effect of making crystal grains finer. When the content of Fe is below the lower limit, the distribution density of coarse intermetallic compounds becomes low, the effect of refining crystal grains is low, and the final crystal grain size distribution becomes non-uniform. If the Fe content exceeds the upper limit, the effect of grain refinement will be saturated or even reduced, and the size of Al-Fe intermetallic compounds generated during casting will become extremely large, resulting in poor elongation and rolling of the foil. Sexuality decreases. Therefore, the content of Fe is set within the above range. For the same reason, the lower limit of the Fe content is preferably 0.5% by mass, and for the same reason, the lower limit of the Fe content is 1.0% by mass, and the upper limit is 1.8% by mass. It is even more preferable.

- Mg: 0.10% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less Mg dissolves in aluminum as a solid solution, and can increase the strength of the soft foil through solid solution strengthening. Furthermore, since Mg is easily dissolved in aluminum, even if it is contained together with Fe, there is a low risk that the intermetallic compound will become coarse and the formability and rollability will deteriorate. If the Mg content is below the lower limit, the strength will not be improved sufficiently, and if the Mg content exceeds the upper limit, the aluminum alloy foil will become hard, leading to a decrease in rollability and formability. A particularly preferable range of the Mg content is 0.5% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less.
It was also confirmed that the addition of Mg improves the corrosion resistance of the lithium ion secondary battery to the electrolyte. Although the details of the mechanism are not clear, the greater the amount of Mg added, the more difficult it is for the aluminum alloy foil to react with lithium in the electrolyte, and the more pulverization of the aluminum alloy foil and the generation of through holes can be suppressed. Even if a particularly clear improvement in corrosion resistance is expected, it is desirable to set the lower limit of the Mg content to 0.5% by mass, although the moldability is slightly reduced.

・Si: 0.5% by mass or less Si is sometimes added in trace amounts for the purpose of increasing the strength of the foil, but in this embodiment, if the Si content exceeds 0.5% by mass, The size of the Al-Fe-Si intermetallic compounds generated during casting increases, reducing the elongation and formability of the foil, and if the foil is thin, fractures may occur starting from the intermetallic compounds, reducing rollability. descend. Furthermore, when a large amount of Si is added to an alloy with a high Mg content like the product of the present invention, the amount of Mg-Si precipitates increases, resulting in a decrease in rollability and a decrease in the amount of solid solution of Mg. This may lead to a decrease in strength. For the same reason, it is desirable to suppress the Si content to 0.2% by mass or less. The lower the Si content, the better the formability, rollability, degree of grain refinement, and ductility tend to be.

- Unavoidable impurities In addition, unavoidable impurities such as Cu and Mn can be included. The amount of each element of these inevitable impurities is desirably 0.1% by mass or less. Note that in this embodiment, the upper limit of the content of the inevitable impurities is not limited to the above numerical value.
However, since Mn is difficult to form a solid solution in aluminum, unlike Mg, solid solution strengthening cannot be expected to significantly increase the strength of the soft foil. Furthermore, when a large amount of Mn is added to an alloy with a high Fe content, there is a high risk of coarsening of intermetallic compounds and formation of giant intermetallic compounds of the Al-Fe-Mn system, resulting in a decrease in rollability and formability. There is a risk of inviting Therefore, it is desirable that the Mn content be 0.1% by mass or less.

- The orientation density of each of the copper orientation and the R orientation of the texture is 15 or less The texture has a large effect on the mechanical properties and formability of the foil. If the density of either the Copper orientation or the R orientation exceeds 15, there is a concern that uniform deformation may not be possible during molding, resulting in poor molding performance. In order to obtain good moldability, it is desirable to keep the orientation densities of the Copper orientation and the R orientation at 15 or less, respectively. More preferably, each orientation density is 10 or less.

・The Mg concentration on the surface is 5.0 at% or more, and the oxide film thickness is 80 Å or more. Although the details of the mechanism are not clear, the Mg concentration on the foil surface and the oxide film thickness are related to the electrolyte of lithium ion secondary batteries. It has been confirmed that it contributes to corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistance is improved due to the high Mg concentration on the foil surface and the formation of a thick oxide film. For this reason, it is desirable that the Mg concentration on the surface of the aluminum foil be 5.0 atomic % or more and the oxide film thickness be 80 Å or more. More preferably, the surface Mg concentration is 15.0 atomic % or more and the oxide film thickness is 200 Å or more. More preferably, the Mg concentration on the surface is 20.0 atomic % or more.
Here, the Mg concentration on the surface is the Mg concentration in the surface portion from the outermost surface to a depth of 8 nm, and the Mg concentration is the amount based on the total of 100 atomic % of all elements.

・When the length of large-angle grain boundaries per unit area measured by backscattered electron diffraction method is L1, and the length of small-angle grain boundaries is L2, L1/L2>3.0
The ratio of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGB) and low-angle grain boundaries (LAGB) in the recrystallized grain structure after annealing affects the elongation and formability of the foil. When the proportion of LAGB in the recrystallized grain structure after final annealing is high, localized deformation tends to occur, resulting in decreased elongation and formability. Therefore, by increasing the ratio of HAGB by setting L1/L2>3.0, high elongation and good moldability can be expected. More preferably, L1/L2>5.0.

- Tensile strength: 110 MPa or more and 180 MPa or less In order to dramatically improve the impact resistance and puncture strength of existing foils such as JIS A8079 and 8021, a tensile strength of 110 MPa or more is required. When the tensile strength exceeds 180 MPa, moldability is significantly reduced.
Tensile strength can be achieved by composition selection and grain size optimization.

- Elongation: 10% or more The influence of elongation on formability varies greatly depending on the forming method, and elongation alone does not determine formability. In the stretching process often used for aluminum packaging materials, the higher the elongation of the aluminum alloy foil, the better the formability, and it is desirable to have an elongation of 10% or more.
Elongation properties can be achieved by composition selection and grain size refinement.

・Average grain size: 25 μm or less The fine crystal grains of soft aluminum alloy foil can suppress roughness on the surface of the foil when it is deformed, and high elongation and associated high formability can be expected. Note that the influence of this crystal grain size becomes larger as the thickness of the foil becomes thinner. In order to achieve high elongation characteristics and high formability associated with it, it is desirable that the average crystal grain size is 25 μm or less.
The average grain size can be achieved by selecting the composition and manufacturing conditions that optimize the homogenization treatment and cold rolling rate.

Below, a method for manufacturing the aluminum alloy foil of this embodiment will be explained.
An aluminum alloy ingot is cast by a conventional method such as a semi-continuous casting method. The aluminum alloy ingot contains Si: 0.5% by mass or less, Fe: 0.2% by mass or more and 2.0% by mass or less, Mg: 0.10% by mass or more and 1.5% by mass or less, and the remainder has a composition consisting of Al and inevitable impurities. If desired, the Mn content is set to 0.1% by mass or less.
The obtained ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment.

・Homogenization treatment: 450-550℃
Homogenization treatment aims to eliminate micro-segregation within the ingot and adjust the distribution state of intermetallic compounds, and is a very important treatment to ultimately obtain the desired crystal grain structure.
Generally, the homogenization treatment of aluminum material is carried out at 400 to 600° C. for a long time, but in this embodiment, it is necessary to consider the refinement of crystal grains by adding Fe.
In the homogenization treatment, if the temperature is lower than 450° C., precipitation of Fe will be insufficient, and there is a concern that crystal grains will become coarse during final annealing. Furthermore, as the proportion of in-situ recrystallization increases, the proportion of LAGB increases, and there is a concern that L1/L2 may decrease. Furthermore, there is a concern that the moldability may deteriorate due to an increase in the orientation density of the Copper orientation and the R orientation. Furthermore, at temperatures exceeding 550°C, crystallized substances grow significantly, leading to coarsening of crystal grains and deterioration of formability during final annealing. It is necessary to ensure a minimum of 3 hours or more for the homogenization treatment. If the time is less than 3 hours, precipitation will not be sufficient and the density of fine intermetallic compounds will decrease. Preferably, the temperature is 480-520°C and the time is 5 hours or more.

After the homogenization treatment, hot rolling is performed to obtain an aluminum alloy plate with a desired thickness. Hot rolling can be carried out by a conventional method, but it is desirable that the coiling temperature during hot rolling be at least the recrystallization temperature, specifically at least 300°C. At temperatures below 300°C, fine Al--Fe intermetallic compounds of 0.3 μm or less are precipitated. Further, recrystallized grains and fiber grains coexist after hot rolling, and there is a fear that the grain size after intermediate annealing and final annealing will become non-uniform and the elongation properties will deteriorate, which is undesirable.

After hot rolling, cold rolling, intermediate annealing, and final cold rolling are performed to obtain the aluminum alloy foil of this embodiment to a thickness of 5 to 100 μm.
There are two types of intermediate annealing: batch annealing, in which the coil is placed in a furnace and held for a certain period of time, and continuous annealing line, hereinafter referred to as CAL annealing, in which the material is rapidly heated and cooled. . If intermediate annealing is to be applied, any method may be used, but CAL annealing is preferable in order to refine the crystal grains and increase the strength. However, there is a concern that a texture develops after the final cold rolling after the CAL annealing and the density of the Copper orientation and the R orientation increases, resulting in a decrease in formability. For this reason, batch annealing is preferred if formability is given priority.
For example, in batch annealing, conditions can be employed at 300 to 400° C. for 3 hours or more. For CAL annealing, use the following conditions: temperature increase rate: 10 to 250°C/sec, heating temperature: 400°C to 550°C, no holding time or holding time: 5 seconds or less, and cooling rate: 20 to 200°C/sec. I can do it. However, in this embodiment, the presence or absence of intermediate annealing, the conditions for performing intermediate annealing, etc. are not limited to specific ones.

・Final cold rolling rate: 84.0% or more and 97.0% or less The higher the final cold rolling rate from intermediate annealing to the final thickness, the greater the amount of strain accumulated in the material, Crystal grains are refined. It also has the effect of suppressing in-situ recrystallization, and is expected to improve formability as L1/L2 increases. Specifically, it is desirable that the final cold rolling rate be 84.0% or more. However, if the final cold rolling rate is too high, there is a concern that formability may deteriorate due to an increase in the orientation density of the Copper orientation and the R orientation even after the final annealing. Further, as a result, a decrease in L1/L2 also occurs, so specifically, it is desirable that the final cold rolling rate be 97.0% or less. Furthermore, when the final cold rolling rate is low, there is a concern that formability may decrease due to coarsening of crystal grains and a decrease in L1/L2. For the same reason, a more desirable final cold rolling reduction range is 90.0% or more and 93.0% or less.

After rolling the foil, final annealing is performed to make it a soft foil. The final annealing after foil rolling may generally be carried out at 250°C to 400°C. However, in order to enhance the corrosion resistance effect of Mg, it is desirable to maintain the temperature at a high temperature of 300°C or higher for 5 hours or more, and more preferably the temperature is 350°C to 400°C.
If the final annealing temperature is low, softening will be insufficient, and there is a concern that L1/L2 will decrease and the orientation densities of the Copper orientation and the R orientation will increase. Furthermore, there is a concern that the concentration of Mg on the foil surface and the growth of an oxide film will be insufficient, resulting in a decrease in corrosion resistance. If the temperature exceeds 400°C, there is a concern that Mg will be excessively concentrated on the foil surface, resulting in discoloration of the foil and changes in the properties of the oxide film, resulting in minute cracks, resulting in a decrease in corrosion resistance. If the final annealing time is less than 5 hours, the effect of the final annealing is insufficient.

The obtained aluminum alloy foil has a tensile strength of 110 MPa or more and 180 MPa or less and an elongation of 10% or more at room temperature. Further, the average crystal grain size is 25 μm or less. The average crystal grain size can be determined by the cutting method specified in JIS G0551.

The obtained aluminum alloy foil has both high strength and high formability, and can be used as various molding materials for packaging materials and the like. In particular, when used as an exterior material or current collector for lithium ion batteries, it exhibits good corrosion resistance against electrolytes.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.
Ingots of aluminum alloys having the compositions shown in Table 1 (the remainder being Al and unavoidable impurities) were prepared. A homogenization treatment was performed under the conditions shown in Table 2, and then hot rolling was performed at a finishing temperature of 330° C. to form a plate material with a thickness of 3 mm. Thereafter, an aluminum alloy foil sample with a thickness of 40 μm and a width of 1200 mm was produced through cold rolling, intermediate annealing, final cold rolling, and final annealing. Note that the conditions for intermediate annealing and final annealing are shown in Table 2. In Example 11, CAL annealing was performed as intermediate annealing. CAL annealing was carried out under the following conditions: temperature increase rate: 70°C/second, heating temperature: 420°C, holding time: 0 seconds, and cooling rate: 50°C/second. The cold rolling item in Table 2 shows the plate thickness immediately before intermediate annealing and the cold rolling rate up to the plate thickness.
The following tests or measurements were performed on the produced aluminum alloy foil, and the results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

-Tensile strength and elongation Both tensile strength and elongation were measured by a tensile test. The tensile test was conducted in accordance with JIS Z2241, and in order to measure the elongation in the 0° direction with respect to the rolling direction, a JIS No. 5 test piece was taken from the sample and tested using a universal tensile tester (AGS-X 10kN manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation). The test was conducted at a tensile speed of 2 mm/min.
Elongation is elongation at break, and was calculated by the following method. First, before testing, two lines were marked in the longitudinal center of the test piece in the vertical direction of the test piece at intervals of 50 mm, which is the gage distance. After the test, the fractured surfaces of the aluminum alloy foils were brought together to measure the distance between the marks. The amount of elongation (mm) was calculated by subtracting the gauge length (50 mm) from the distance between the marks, and the elongation (%) was calculated by dividing the amount of elongation by the distance between the gauges (50 mm).

- Average grain size The surface of the aluminum alloy foil was electrolytically polished at a voltage of 20 V using a mixed solution of 20% by volume perchloric acid + 80% by volume ethanol. Next, anodization treatment was performed in Barker's solution at a voltage of 30V. Crystal grains of the treated sample materials were observed using an optical microscope. The average crystal grain size was calculated from the photograph taken by the cutting method specified in JIS G0551.

・L1 (HAGB length)/L2 (LAGB length)
The surface of the foil is electrolytically polished, and then the crystal orientation is analyzed using a SEM-EBSD device to identify large-angle grain boundaries (HAGB) where the misorientation between crystal grains is 15° or more, and small-angle grain boundaries (HAGB) where the misorientation between crystal grains is 2° or more and less than 15°. Grain boundaries (LAGB) were observed. Four visual fields with a visual field size of 170 x 340 μm were measured at a magnification of ×500, the length of HAGB (L1) and the length of LAGB (L2) per unit area within the visual field were determined, and the ratio thereof was calculated. The calculated ratio is shown in Table 3 as L1/L2.

-Crystal orientation The Copper orientation was {112}<111>, and the R orientation was {123}<634>. Each orientation density was obtained by the following method. Incomplete pole figures of {111}, {200}, and {220} were measured by X-ray diffraction method. Using the results, a crystal orientation distribution function (ODF) was determined, and the orientation density of the copper orientation and the R orientation was obtained.

-Surface analysis The Mg concentration on the foil surface was estimated using XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy). In the surface region from the outermost surface to a depth of 8 nm, a narrow spectrum obtained by narrow scan measurement was separated into waveforms, and the atomic concentration of each element was quantified. Note that Mg2p spectrum was used to quantify the amount of Mg. Details of the analysis conditions are as follows.

- Oxide film thickness measurement The oxide film thickness was measured using an FE-EPMA (Field Emission - Electron Probe Micro Analyzer) device. The oxide film thickness of the sample was calculated using a calibration curve of X-ray intensity obtained from an oxide film sample whose thickness was originally known. The FE-EPMA used was JXA-8530F manufactured by JEOL. The analysis conditions were an acceleration voltage of 10 kV, an irradiation current of 100 nA, and a beam diameter of 50 μm.

・Piercing strength A needle with a diameter of 1.0 mm and a tip shape radius of 0.5 mm is pierced into an aluminum alloy foil with a thickness of 40 μm at a speed of 50 mm/min, and the maximum load (N) is applied until the needle penetrates the foil. It was measured as puncture strength. Here, a case where the puncture strength was 9.0 N or more was determined to have good puncture resistance, and was indicated as "〇" (good) in Table 4. A case where the puncture strength was less than 9.0 N was determined to have poor puncture resistance, and was indicated as "x" (poor) in Table 4.

- Limit forming height The forming height was evaluated by a square cylinder forming test. The test was conducted using a universal thin plate forming tester (Model 142/20 manufactured by ERICHSEN), and a 40 μm thick aluminum alloy foil was punched with a square punch (length of one side D = 37 mm, corner part The chamfer diameter R was 4.5 mm). As test conditions, the wrinkle suppressing force was 10 kN, the scale of the rising speed of the punch (forming speed) was 1, and mineral oil was applied as a lubricant to one side of the foil (the side that the punch touches). A punch that rises from the bottom of the device hits the foil and forms the foil.The maximum height of the punch that can be formed without cracks or pinholes when forming three times in a row is the maximum forming height of the material. It was defined as length (mm). The height of the punch was changed at 0.5 mm intervals. Here, when the molding height was 7.0 mm or more, the moldability was determined to be good, and it was indicated as "○" (good) in Table 4. When the molding height was less than 7.0 mm, it was determined that the moldability was poor, and it was indicated as "x" (poor) in Table 4.

- Evaluation of corrosion resistance 152 g of lithium hexafluorophosphate was dissolved in 1 L of a solution of propylene carbonate/diethylene carbonate = 1/1 (volume ratio) to prepare a 1 mol/L electrolytic solution. Next, each of the aluminum alloy foils used in Examples 1 to 19 and Comparative Examples 20 to 27 was set on the positive electrode of a 200 mL bipolar beaker cell, metallic lithium was set on the negative electrode, and the above-mentioned electrolyte was poured. In this state, a potential difference of 0.1 V was applied for 1 hour and 3 hours. Thereafter, the surface of the aluminum alloy foil was visually observed using a microscope. As shown in the micrograph of FIG. 2 (observation magnification: 200 times), those whose surfaces were corroded were determined to have poor corrosion resistance, and were indicated as "x" (poor) in Table 4. Those in which the surface did not change were judged to have good corrosion resistance and were indicated as "○" (good) in Table 4. In addition, for those in which the surface changed only in a small portion, it was determined that there was no problem in practical use, but the corrosion resistance was somewhat low, and this was indicated as "fair" in Table 4. It was observed that a compound of aluminum and lithium was generated on the surface of the corroded aluminum alloy foil (judgment: ×), and the surface was raised due to volume expansion. The results for each sample material are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
