The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy sheet rolling method, and more particularly, to an aluminum alloy sheet rolling method for rolling by passing an aluminum alloy material between the upper roller and the lower roller to cross each other.

In general, aluminum alloys have a weight of about one third of steel, but have an advantage of being superior to steel or having more excellent mechanical properties, depending on the addition of various alloying elements. Due to the above advantages, aluminum alloys are rapidly increasing their use in aircraft and automobile industries, which are expected to improve fuel efficiency through weight reduction.

 In particular, in today's automobiles, the design and development of parts are performed at the same time. In addition to shortening the assembly time and cost reduction, a plurality of unit parts are assembled into one assembly, that is, a module unit, and each assembly is finally combined. It is made in a modular way, the aluminum of the chassis module, which is very important for the ride comfort and safety of the vehicle among the various modules constituting the vehicle, and heavy weight is essential for light weight of the vehicle.

As an aluminum alloy used to reduce the weight of automobiles, an alloy of 6xxx series is mainly used. The 6xxx alloy has excellent extrudability, has age hardenability, good toughness and is suitable for deep processing.

Hereinafter, an aluminum alloy sheet rolling method according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in more detail as follows.

The aluminum alloy sheet rolling method according to the present invention includes a material introduction step and cross rolling step.

In the material introduction step, the aluminum alloy material in which elements other than aluminum are added to aluminum is introduced into a cross rolling mill provided with a plurality of upper cross rollers and a lower cross roller.

The aluminum alloy material is preferably cast in the form of slab (slab) by adding silicon, copper or manganese to aluminum.

The operator inserts the slab type aluminum alloy material between the upper cross roller and the lower cross roller.

1, the above-mentioned cross mill 20 is shown.

Referring to the drawings, the cross rolling mill 20 includes an upper cross roller 21 and a lower cross roller 22 installed so that the center lines cross each other.

The upper cross roller 21 and the lower cross roller 22 are installed at positions spaced apart from each other with respect to the vertical direction, and are inclined at a predetermined inclination angle 23 based on a normal line in the inflow direction of the aluminum alloy material 11. .

At this time, the inclination angle 23 is preferably an angle of 2.5 ° or more and 10 ° or less.

The upper cross roller 21 and the lower cross roller 22 prevent the thickness difference between the edge and the center portion of the aluminum alloy material 11 due to the crossed upper cross roller 21 and the lower cross roller 22. It is preferable that the radius is formed to decrease from both ends to the center so as to be possible.

In the rolling step, the aluminum alloy material 11 introduced into the rolling mill is rolled while passing between the plurality of upper cross rollers 21 and the lower cross rollers 22. At this time, the rolling reduction rate and rolling temperature of the rolling mill is preferably 60%, room temperature to 400 ℃ or less.

The aluminum alloy material 11 rolled by the upper cross roller 21 and the lower cross roller 22 whose center lines cross each other is compared with the aluminum alloy material 11 which has passed through a rolling mill in which the center lines are parallel to each other. Further deformation occurs in the direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the raw material 11, and the grains are refined.

2 to 7 discloses a microstructure of an aluminum alloy sheet material processed by a rolling mill provided with rollers intersecting with a rolling mill provided with parallel rollers according to respective rolling reduction rates of the rolling mill.

2 to 4 are microstructure photographs of aluminum alloy sheets rolled at 20%, 35%, and 60% reduction ratios in rolling mills provided with conventional parallel rollers, and FIGS. 5 and 7 are 5 °. On a rolling mill provided with rollers having an inclination angle 23 and intersected with each other, microstructure photographs of aluminum alloy sheets rolled at 20%, 35%, and 60% reduction ratios, respectively.

At this time, the aluminum alloy material is preferably 1wt% silicon, 0.5wt% copper, 0.1wt% manganese, 0.5wt% magnesium, the rest is a 6xxx series aluminum alloy made of aluminum.

Rolling was performed in the same condition except for the inclination angle 23 and the reduction ratio of the roller during each rolling. After the rolling, the annealing temperature and time were all progressed in the same manner, and then the microstructure was observed.

As can be seen from the drawing, in the case of the aluminum alloy sheet roll-molded by rollers having an inclination angle 23 of 5 ° and intersecting with each other, the microstructure of the aluminum alloy sheet in which the grain size of the microstructure was processed by general rolling It was relatively smaller than the grains of.

As the size of the grains of the microstructure is smaller, the elongation of the aluminum alloy sheet is improved, and thus, when rolling is performed by rollers intersecting with each other, the workability of the aluminum alloy sheet may be improved.

In addition, it can be seen that the grain size of the rolled aluminum alloy plate microstructure decreases as the reduction ratio increases through FIGS. 2 to 7.

8 is an orientation distribution function (ODF) of an aluminum alloy sheet rolled by a rolling mill provided with parallel rollers, and FIG. 9 is a sheet of aluminum alloy rolled by a rolling mill provided with intersecting rollers. Azimuth distribution function.

Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that β-fiber and random texture are formed in the aluminum alloy sheet rolled by the crossed rollers compared to the aluminum alloy sheet rolled by the parallel rollers.

Thus, as the aluminum alloy sheet has β-fiber and random texture, the tensile strength and elongation increase, so that the workability of the aluminum alloy sheet can be improved when rolling by the crossed rollers.

10 and Table 1 show the graphs and tables for the plastic strain ratio of the aluminum alloy sheet processed by the rolling mill provided with rollers intersecting with the rolling mill provided with parallel rollers according to the reduction ratio of 25%, 35%, 60%. Each is disclosed.

The plastic strain ratio (R) is obtained by a tensile test as a measure of the anisotropy of a metal sheet and is determined by the ratio of the plastic strain in the width direction to the plastic strain in the thickness direction of the tensile test piece.

Since most rolled plates have planar anisotropy in which plasticity changes even in a direction parallel to the plane, R values are measured and averaged in various directions, and are generally 0 °, 45 °, and 90 ° with the rolling direction It is common to use R values measured by tensioning, that is, average values of R 0 , R 45 , and R 90 , and R, and are obtained through the following relational formula.

R = (R 0 + 2R 45 + R 90 ) / 4

Therefore, the large plastic strain ratio means that the resistance to thickness reduction during tension is large and the deep draw moldability is improved.

9 and Table 1, the plastic strain ratio of the aluminum alloy sheet rolled by a rolling mill provided with crossed rollers is larger than the plastic strain ratio of the aluminum alloy sheet rolled by a rolling mill provided with conventional parallel rollers. You can check it.
