The present invention relates to a method for producing a steel sheet comprising 7 to 19% by weight of Mg, 0.3% by weight or less of Cu, 0.5% by weight or less of Fe, 0.5% or less of Si, 2% or less of Mn, And the remainder is an Al-Mg based alloy having a composition of Al, which relates to a high strength aluminum alloy having greatly improved pressure resistance and corrosion resistance.

Hereinafter, the high strength aluminum alloy of the present invention will be described based on examples.

(Example)

0.29 kg of aluminum (Al), 0.2 kg of Cu, 0.3 kg of Fe, 0.3 kg of Si, 1 kg of Mn, 0.2 kg of Zn, 0.2 kg of Cr and 0.1 kg of Ti were put into a graphite crucible and heated at 700 to 800 캜 for melting, (FLUX) was charged into the crucible to form a FLUX layer for preventing oxidation on the surface of the molten metal.

The flux is a product frequently used in melting non-ferrous metals.

Then, 11 kg of powder-treated Mg was introduced through a long pipe into a molten metal having an antioxidant layer formed thereon, and the mixture was held at 700 to 800 ° C. for 30 to 60 minutes and cast. Two specimens were prepared to determine the pressure resistance and corrosion resistance, Test and salt spray test.

Two round specimens of 2.3 mm in thickness and 28 cm in diameter (one of them is a conventional Al-Mg alloy) were mounted on a salt water storage tank maintained at a salt concentration of 5 ± 1% wt, exposed to salt water spray for 120 hours, Respectively.

The amount of salt sprayed was uniformly sprayed with no variation according to the position and time. The temperature in the chamber was maintained at 35 ± 2 ℃ during saline spraying to maintain the condition similar to the actual environment of the test piece.

As a result of such a salt spray test,

The present invention Al-Mg alloy

As described above, it was confirmed that there was no corrosion in the present invention, but that the conventional Al-Mg alloy was slightly corroded on the edge side.

The Erichsen cupping test was conducted with two circular specimens (one of which was a conventional Al-Mg alloy) having a thickness of 2.3 mm and a diameter of 28 cm in order to examine the degree of pressure resistance of the present invention.

The test equipment was an Ericsson testing machine as specified in KS B 5529, the force of the pusher was 1000 kgf, the pressing speed of the punch was 5-20 mm / min, and the speed Gradually decreased.

The test was carried out at room temperature (5 to 35 ° C), and the measured value was found to be punched at a punch depth of about 10.2 mm. However, since the conventional Al-Mg alloy was punched at about 8.6 mm, Al-Mg alloy.

The measured values of tensile strength, yield strength, shear strength and elongation are shown below.

In contrast to the compositions of the alloys of the conventional (conventional) examples and the examples 1, 2, and 3 of the present invention,

The tensile strength (MPa) of the present invention is 310, whereas the tensile strength of the present invention is 330, that of Example 2 is 373, that of Example 3 is 388, and the tensile strength is increased as the content of Zn is higher. The strength (MPa) was 171 in the conventional example, whereas 179 in the example of the present invention, 196 in the example 2, and 203 in the example 3 show that the higher the Zn content, the higher the yield strength. In the case of Set (0.2%), the conventional example is 200, whereas Example 1 of the present invention is 240, Example 2 is 300, and Example 3 is 260. The shear strength is increased with increasing Zn content can.

The elongation percentage (%) of the present invention is 7, whereas Example 1 of the present invention is 10, Example 2 is 20, and Example 3 is 10, and the elongation percentage is increased as the Zn content increases. , Which means that the

In Example 3 of the present invention, however, the shear strength and the elongation tend to decrease even though the Zn content is similar to that of Example 2. The Mn content is more than two times that of Example 3, It is seen as a cause of decrease in the elongation rate with help.

In the present invention, the reason for limiting the number according to the composition ratio of the alloy is described,

(1) Mg: 7 to 19 wt%

Mg is added as an element to increase corrosion resistance, strength and ductility in Al alloy, and it forms Al2Mg2 phase by bonding with Al to increase strength of Al alloy.

It also reduces dimensional changes during coagulation and improves castability and machinability.

When the content of Mg is less than 7% by weight, the strength is markedly decreased. When the content of Mg exceeds 19% by weight, the alloy is liable to be broken when rolled or extruded, resulting in poor processability. Bubbles are generated, which is limited to 15% by weight or less.

② Cu: not more than 0.3 wt%

Cu is added as an element to increase the resistance to stress corrosion cracking of the Al alloy. When Cu exceeds 0.3 wt%, it is limited to 0.3 wt% or less because it hinders tensile characteristics and resistance to stress corrosion.

③ Fe: 0.5 wt% or less

Fe is precipitated in Al 3 Fe by precipitation of Al 3 Fe during the dissolution and heat treatment of the Al alloy to improve the strength and abrasion resistance of the Al alloy. However, when the Fe content exceeds 0.5 weight%, the Al 3 Fe precipitates are coarsened, %.

(4) Si: not more than 0.5% by weight

Si is added to the Al matrix as an element which improves the fatigue strength and the pressure resistance of the Al alloy. When the Si content is more than 0.5 weight%, Si particles are precipitated from the Al alloy, .

⑤ Mn: 2 wt% or less

Mn forms a compound with Mg to form fine precipitates and is added as an element to increase the strength when heat treatment is performed after molding. When Mn is more than 2% by weight, a coarse intermetallic compound is formed to lower the toughness, .

⑥ Zn: 3% by weight or less

Zn is added as an element to improve the aging hardening performance by adding MgZn₂ compound to Mg to increase the pressure resistance performance. However, when Zn is added in an amount of more than 3 wt%, it causes natural cracking and is limited to 3 wt% or less .

⑦ Cr: not more than 0.5% by weight

Cr is added as an element for preventing stress corrosion cracking in the Al alloy, so that the corrosion resistance is greatly improved, or the corrosion resistance is not greatly improved by exceeding the Cr content exceeding 0.5% by weight, so that the Cr content is limited to 0.5% by weight or less.

(8) Ti: not more than 0.2% by weight

Ti is added as a crystal grain refining element and added as an element that greatly improves the pressure resistance performance. When the content exceeds 0.2% by weight, a coarse intermetallic compound is formed and the formability (workability) is lowered. Respectively.

The present invention having such an alloy composition ratio is an aluminum alloy material which is widely used as a component material that dramatically improves the thermal conductivity of various automobile parts, aircraft parts, electronic parts, ship parts, industrial materials used for building materials and various fluid machinery, to be.
