本発明はセラミツク粒子分散アルミニウム鋳造
合金の製造法に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for producing ceramic particle dispersed aluminum casting alloys.
最近、アルミニウムにセラミツク粒子を分散さ

練機を必要とするばかりでなく、混練時間も長く
必要とし、作業も非能率でコスト高となる欠点が
ある。(2)の方法は加圧機を必要とし、連続操業が
困難であり、十分に分散したものが得られない欠
点がある。 Conventionally, the manufacturing method has been to disperse ceramic particles in aluminum powder and then to dissolve the dispersion. However, when this mixed powder is dissolved as it is, the ceramic particles are usually 10 μm.
Since fine particles with a size of less than m are used, the ceramic fine particles are separated without being dispersed, making it difficult to obtain uniformly dispersed particles. Therefore, in order to prevent this separation, (1) A method of mixing these mixed powders intensively with a steel ball to form a state in which ceramic particles are embedded in aluminum powder and then melting the powder. (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 76033/1983) (2) A method in which mixed powder is compressed using a pressurizer to create a green compact, which is then melted. (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-203733) etc. are known. However, method (1) not only requires a special kneading machine, but also requires a long kneading time, and has the disadvantage of being inefficient and expensive. Method (2) requires a pressurizer, is difficult to operate continuously, and has the drawback that a sufficiently dispersed product cannot be obtained.

る欠点がある。しかも、この方法ではニツケルメ
ツキを施しても10μｍ以下のセラミツク微粒子の
分散は困難である。 In addition, instead of these methods, a method is also known in which ceramic particles are mixed into molten aluminum while stirring. For example, ceramic particles have poor wettability with molten aluminum and are difficult to disperse if added as is, so ceramic particles are added after being nickel-plated. This method requires a plating device, complicates the operation, and requires nickel, which has the disadvantage of increasing costs. Moreover, with this method, it is difficult to disperse ceramic fine particles of 10 μm or less even if nickel plating is applied.
本発明の目的は従来法の欠点を解消し、特殊の
装置を必要とせず、10μｍ以下のセラミツク微粒

ム鋳造合金の製造法を提供するにある。 An object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of conventional methods and to provide a method for producing an aluminum casting alloy in which even ceramic fine particles of 10 μm or less can be easily and uniformly dispersed without requiring special equipment.
本発明者らは前記目的を達成すべく鋭意研究の

も溶湯に分散されるものと考えられる。 As a result of intensive research to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that when a mixed powder of aluminum powder and ceramic particles is melted at an elevated temperature while stirring, the ceramic particles are easily and uniformly dispersed in the molten aluminum. I found out. It is thought that during the process of melting the aluminum powder, ceramic particles are embedded in the semi-solidified aluminum powder due to the external mechanical force of the stirring blade, and ceramic particles with poor wettability are also dispersed in the molten metal.
この知見に基いて本発明を完成したものであ
る。 The present invention was completed based on this knowledge.
本発明の要旨は、アルミニウム粉末とセラミツ

ルミニウム鋳造合金の製造法にある。 The gist of the present invention resides in a method for producing an aluminum casting alloy in which ceramic particles are dispersed, which is characterized in that a mixed powder of aluminum powder and ceramic particles is heated and melted while stirring.

添加量は通常１〜30重量％である。 The particle size of the aluminum powder used in the present invention is preferably about 10 to 200 μm. Examples of ceramic particles include Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 ,
Examples include particles such as Cr 2 O 3 . However, the material is not limited to these, and any ceramic particles can be used as well. Its particle size is 1~
It can be used in a wide range of 100 μm, and the amount added is usually 1 to 30% by weight.
昇温、溶湯時における撹拌は、撹拌羽根の回転
数100〜500rpm程度でよい。 Stirring during heating and molten metal may be performed at a stirring blade rotation speed of about 100 to 500 rpm.
溶解温度は700〜900℃、溶融保持時間は３〜
5minである。 Melting temperature is 700~900℃, melting holding time is 3~
It is 5min.

あつてもよい。 In addition, if the time until melting is long, the surface of the aluminum powder will oxidize in the atmosphere, making it difficult to embed the ceramic particles and making it impossible to obtain molten aluminum.To prevent oxidation,
Preferably, the atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere. For example, the mixed powder is degassed in a vacuum and then replaced with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas. A vacuum of about 10 -2 mmHg is sufficient. Additionally, the inside of the melting crucible is also replaced with inert gas. Further, the atmosphere may be a vacuum.
