Abstract

PURPOSE:To unnecessitate the removal of an oxidized film on an Al material immediately before welding by regulating the thickness of the oxidized film and coating both sides of the Al material with a specified amt. of rust preventing oil. CONSTITUTION:The thickness of an oxidized film formed on an Al (alloy) material by heat treatment is regulated to <=70Angstrom and both sides of the Al (alloy) material are coated with 0.1-7g/m<2> rust preventing oil. This oil prevents the contact of the oxidized film with moisture and oxygen in the air and inhibits the growth of the film. In the case where the Al alloy contains Mg, the atomic ratio of Mg to Al in the surface layer is preferably regulated to about <=0.7. Superior weldability is ensured and such troublesome work as the removal of the oxidized film immediately before welding, especially resistance spot welding is unnecessitated.

(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to aluminum and aluminum alloy (hereinafter collectively referred to as "aluminum alloy") materials that have excellent weldability, and are used by welding in automobiles, vehicles, aircraft, electrical equipment, etc. The invention relates to aluminum alloy materials. (Prior art and problems to be solved) Aluminum alloy materials are lightweight, have excellent formability and corrosion resistance, and are therefore used in transportation-related applications such as automobiles, vehicles, and aircraft, as well as electrical equipment-related applications. It is used as a member and is often joined by welding. By the way, the oxide film on the surface of aluminum alloy materials is dense and has a high melting point, which is a factor that inhibits weldability. Especially when a thick oxide film is formed by heat treatment, the oxide film may be destroyed by wire brushing, etc. processing was required. However, such destructive treatment needs to be applied only to the welding area immediately before welding, but this work is complicated and it is difficult to completely remove the oxide film only from the necessary areas, which can lead to welding defects. This led to the occurrence of problems, which led to an increase in costs. In view of the above situation, the present invention aims to provide an aluminum alloy material with excellent weldability that makes it possible to omit oxide film removal work such as wire brushing immediately before welding, especially resistance spot welding. This is the purpose. (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present inventor has conducted extensive research to find effective measures regarding the properties of oxide films and their relationship with weldability, and as a result has hereby presented the present invention. It is an invention. That is, the present invention is characterized in that the oxide film of the aluminum and aluminum alloy material is adjusted to a thickness of 70 Å or less, and that both surfaces are coated with 0.1 to 7 g/m2 of rust preventive oil. This article focuses on aluminum and aluminum alloy materials with excellent weldability. Further, in another aspect of the present invention, the ratio of magnesium to aluminum (Mg/A I2) in the surface layer is 0.0 at %.
It is characterized by being 7 or less. The present invention will be explained in further detail below. (Function) As mentioned above, in aluminum alloy materials, oxide films impede weldability, particularly spot weldability. However, according to the research of the present inventor, the thickness of the oxide film was reduced to 7
It has been found that if the thickness is adjusted to 0 Å or less, there are few practical problems. The thickness of the oxidized eardrum can be adjusted by chemical methods, mechanical methods, or other suitable methods. For example, an oxide film grown by heat treatment to adjust mechanical properties can be removed using an etching type alkaline cleaning agent (e.g., sodium phosphate, soda carbonate, caustic soda, etc.).
or acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.). The oxide film can also be destroyed by mechanical means such as rolling or brushing. After adjusting the thickness of the oxide film, 0.1 to 7 g/m2 of rust preventive oil is applied to both sides to prevent contact with moisture, oxygen, etc. in the air and to suppress the growth of the oxide film. Apply. In this case, if the coating amount is less than Q, 1 g/m2, the effect will not be sufficient, and if it exceeds 7 g/m2, the effect will not only be saturated, but will also impede weldability itself, which is not desirable. If the aluminum alloy has a component system containing magnesium (for example, JIS 5182), an oxide film with concentrated magnesium may be formed on the surface, which may impede weldability.However, the inventor's research According to the above, in addition to adjusting the thickness of the oxide film, a sound welded joint can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of magnesium to aluminum (Mg/AQ) in the surface layer to 0.7 or less in atomic percent. It was found that the ratio of magnesium to aluminum can be measured by photoelectron spectroscopy;
Magnesium and aluminum referred to here are values that include Mg metal, AQ gold metal, as well as Mg content in magnesium corrugated material and H2 component in aluminum oxide. Further, the specific means for surface conditioning may be the same as described above. Note that any suitable rust preventive oil may be used and is not particularly limited. Next, examples of the present invention will be shown. (Example) For the various types and heat-treated aluminum or aluminum alloys shown in Table 1, the surface conditioning and oiling shown in Table 1 were applied to the plate materials with a thickness of 1 cm to prepare test materials, and the 25 mmw
Weldability was evaluated by spot welding two test pieces with dimensions of 50mm x 12 under the following welding conditions. [Welding conditions] Electrode = 161111φ chromium-copper alloy, tip radius 50mm, R-shaped pressure pattern, knee stage constant pressure 700kg, main current application time: 9
Cycle current: Approximately 38 KA The test material was placed in an atmosphere of 35°C and 85% relative humidity.
After being left for a week, it was subjected to a welding test. In addition, weldability evaluation is based on welding strength (shear strength) at 30 points.
The variation in welding strength (maximum variation from the average) is 5.
Those weighing less than 0 kg were rated good (0), those weighing 50 to 100 kg were rated fair (Δ), and those weighing 100 kg or more were rated poor (×). The thickness of the oxide film was determined by the capacitance method. However, the dielectric constant was set to 7. Further, the atomic percent ratio of magnesium and aluminum in the surface layer was determined by photoelectron spectroscopy. These test results are also listed in Table 1, and it can be seen that all the materials of the present invention have good weldability. Particularly in the case of Mg-containing aluminum alloy materials, good weldability can be ensured by regulating the Mg1AQ ratio of the surface layer. On the other hand, the comparative material did not have good weldability. Even when the surface is adjusted to have an oxide film thickness of 70A or less (8th grade, 10th grade), if no oil is applied or excessive oil is applied, weldability deteriorates. Note that from the results of this spot welding test, it is clear that excellent weldability can be obtained even in the case of other welding methods.
