2. Description of the Related Art As a typical forging material of aluminum alloy, 6061 alloy is used. But 60
Since the 61 alloy is made into a forging material through an extrusion process, the cost is high. Moreover, since the extruded material is forged, the product shape is naturally limited to a simple shape. Therefore, in order to obtain a product having a complicated shape, it is necessary to obtain a forging material by casting. At present, as materials that have been given a predetermined shape by casting, that is, materials that can be forged by preforming, AC4C, AC4CH, etc. are listed in JIS. However, aluminum alloys such as AC4C and AC4CH are inferior in tensile properties such as elongation to the aluminum alloys such as 6061 alloy, and a forged product excellent in shape properties cannot be obtained.

In order to increase the elongation of the forging material obtained by casting an aluminum alloy such as AC4C or AC4CH, the Si content is reduced to about 3% by weight, and Na, Sr, Sb, etc. are added. The miniaturization of eutectic Si is introduced in JP-A-54-13407. The degree of elongation is improved to some extent by making the eutectic Si finer. However, the elongation rate of the 6061 alloy is still inferior, and a problem remains in forgeability. Further, since the yield strength of the obtained forged product is not sufficient, it has been unavoidable to increase the wall thickness in order to obtain a predetermined structural strength. As a result, the advantages of aluminum materials as lightweight parts cannot be utilized. The present inventors have found, as an aluminum alloy that solves such a problem, a forging alloy that is excellent in mechanical strength and the like, including forgeability, by regulating the P content and sufficiently refining eutectic Si. It was introduced in JP-A-5-9637.

By the way, when casting a cast product having a shape as close as possible to the final product after forging,
With wrought materials such as 6061 and 6063 having a small amount of Si, defects such as hot cracking and porosity during casting are likely to occur. On the other hand, casting alloys such as AC4C and AC4CH having a large amount of Si do not cause problems during casting, but tend to have poor strength and toughness after forging. The present invention has been devised to solve such problems, by adjusting the amount of Mg 2 Si after casting or the amount of excess Si other than the amount of Mg 2 Si,
An object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy for forging which is free from hot cracking during casting and has improved strength and toughness after forging.

The alloy components and their contents will be described below. Si: 0.6 to 3.0 wt% The aluminum alloy for forging of the present invention is made into a product having a predetermined shape by forging a preformed material obtained by casting. In order to obtain this preformed material, it is required that the melt has good fluidity, shrinkability, etc., and that defects such as casting cracks do not occur. In order to secure this castability, it is necessary to contain Si. When the Si content is less than 0.6% by weight,
Since excess Si other than the Mg 2 Si compound is less than 0.5% by weight, cracking is likely to occur during casting. However, the inclusion of a large amount of Si reduces the elongation and mechanical strength of the aluminum alloy. With the Si content in the range of 0.6 to 3.0% by weight, the required elongation and mechanical strength can be obtained, and
Castability is also improved. If the Si content exceeds 3.0% by weight, a relatively large amount of eutectic Si crystallizes at the grain boundaries as detected in the microstructure, deteriorating elongation and mechanical strength. Conversely, when the Si content is less than 0.6% by weight,
Castability deteriorates and cracks are likely to occur during casting.

There is not enough g. Cu: 0.3-1.0 wt% After aging treatment, it becomes a precipitate of Al-Cu type, Al-Cu-Mg type, etc., and increases the strength of the aluminum alloy.
In order to obtain such effects, 0.3% by weight or more of C

Ti: 0.01 to 0.1% by weight and B:
The cast structure of 0.0001 to 0.01 wt% aluminum alloy is refined by the combined addition of Ti and B. As the cast structure becomes finer, impurities and shrinkages precipitated at the grain boundaries are finely dispersed, and the mechanical properties are improved. In order to obtain such effects, it is necessary to contain 0.01% by weight or more of Ti and 0.0001% by weight or more of B. But T

Mn and Cr: 0.1 to 0.5% by weight These are elements added in order to prevent recrystallization of the aluminum alloy during processing. In order to prevent recrystallization, it is necessary to contain 0.1% by weight or more of Mn and 0.1% by weight or more of Cr in combination. When 0.1% by weight or more of Mn and Cr are contained, T 6 treatment (520 ° C. × 4 hours heating → water cooling →
Recrystallization at 160 ° C. × 6 hours heating → cooling) is prevented. However, if these elements are added in a large amount, a coarse intermetallic compound is generated and the material properties are deteriorated. Also,
When Mn or Cr is added alone, recrystallized grains having a width of 1 to 2 mm and a length of 5 mm develop in the direction of the forged fiber structure. The width and length of the recrystallized grains can be suppressed to 1 mm or less by adding Mn and Cr together.
Further, the excessive addition of Mn and Cr increases the hardness of the matrix and rather reduces the workability. Therefore, the upper limits of the Mn content and the Cr content are both defined to be 0.5% by weight.

Fe: 0.05 to 0.5% by weight It has a function of producing a β-AlFeSi type crystallized substance at the grain boundary during casting and binding the already-generated primary Al crystal grains. As a result, casting cracking is prevented. Such an effect becomes remarkable when the Fe content is 0.05% by weight or more. However, when a large amount of Fe exceeding 0.5% by weight is contained, huge crystallized substances are formed, which adversely affects the mechanical properties. Mg 2 Si content: 1.5 wt% or more The Mg 2 Si content is calculated by a design value obtained by multiplying the Mg content (analytical value) included in the alloy design stage by (1 + 1 / 1.73). If this design value is 1.5 wt% or more, cracking is suppressed during casting, so the Si content and the Mg content are determined so as to satisfy the design value of 1.5 wt% or more. The relationship that the amount of Mg 2 Si gives to the crack suppression is obtained from a large number of experimental results by the present inventors as shown in Table 1.

In Table 1, the total length of cracks on the surface of the ring test sample was 1.5 cm or less, which was regarded as acceptable.
In the ring test method, a molten metal having a predetermined composition was held at 710 ° C., about 100 g was poured into a mold having a mold temperature of 150 ° C. with a ladle, and the length of cracks appearing on the entire ring surface after solidification was measured. As the mold, a ring-shaped mold having an outer diameter of 58 mm and an inner diameter of 38 mm is used, and the cross-sectional shape is a quadrangle having a height of 20 mm and a width of 10 mm, and the corner portion is round. The molten metal cooling rate at this time was about 15 ° C./sec. The total length of surface cracks was 1.5 cm or less. As can be seen from Sample Nos. 1 to 4 in Table 1, the occurrence of cracks disappeared when the amount of Mg 2 Si was the designed value of 1.5% by weight or more. The suppression of cracking by adjusting the amount of Mg 2 Si means that when Mg 2 Si is present as a eutectic in the Al-Mg 2 Si system, the eutectic melt of Al-Mg 2 Si replenishes the crystal grain boundaries. It is presumed that this is due to

Excess Si amount: 0.5% by weight or more When the excess Si amount is 0.5% by weight or more in design calculation value,
As shown in Nos. 5 and 6 of Table 1, cracking is prevented.
Cracking inhibiting effect of excess Si is, Al-Mg 2 Si-S
It is presumed that this is derived from the fact that in the i-system, Si becomes an Al-Si-based eutectic, and the Al-Si-based eutectic melt is replenished to the crystal grain boundaries. That is, all Mg is Mg 2 Si
It is considered that the remaining excess Si becomes eutectic Si. Therefore, the Si content and the Mg content should be adjusted so that the excess Si content is 0.5% by weight or more as calculated by design.
Determine the content. Melt cooling rate during casting: 200 ° C / sec or less In order to prevent casting cracks, eutectic Mg 2 Si or Si
The existence of is important. Eutectic Mg 2 Si or Si depends on the cooling rate of the molten metal, and the generation amount increases as the cooling rate slows. Therefore, in order to secure the necessary amount of eutectic Mg 2 Si or Si, the cooling rate of the molten metal is 200 ° C. / Sec or less.

Upsetting ratio during forging: 10 to 50% Porosity generated in the cast product is crushed by forging with an upsetting ratio of 10% or more, improving the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. Figure 1 shows the effect of upsetting on porosity. However, an upsetting rate of more than 50% saturates the porosity crushing action, and tends to decrease the values of tensile strength and proof stress as shown in FIG. 2, and rather increases the cost required for forging.

As can be seen from Table 3, the amounts of Mg 2 Si and excess Si are effective in suppressing casting cracks, and are 1.5% by weight and 0.5% by weight, respectively. No generation of cracks was observed despite the addition of elements other than Si and Mg. As shown in Table 4, the mechanical properties of the cast material after T 6 treatment were tensile strength 3 which is a target value when the upsetting rate is 40% in each of the samples No. 10 and 11.
00N / mm 2 , yield strength 250N / mm 2 or more and elongation 1
We are satisfied with 0% or more. The relationship between the upsetting rate and the porosity of the sample No. 10 was investigated. The porosity amount was measured by measuring the specific gravity of the test piece, and expressed as a difference from the specific gravity when the upsetting rate was 60%. As is clear from FIG. 1, it is understood that the porosity is almost collapsed at the upsetting rate of 10%. Further, from FIG. 2 showing the relationship between the upsetting rate and the mechanical properties of Sample No. 10, the tensile strength and proof stress are
It can be seen that the upset ratio is saturated at 40 to 50%.
