Problems solved by technology

However, using the existing technology to prepare magnesium-calcium rare earth-based foamed aluminum alloys, titanium hydride is used for foaming, the pyrolysis speed is fast, the bubbles are formed rapidly, and it is easy to float, break or merge, and it is not easy to prepare foam products with low porosity and high strength.
Moreover, the hydrogen gas released by titanium hydride at high temperature is easy to burn, which intensifies the burning loss of magnesium.

Embodiment 1

[0017] Embodiment 1: A low-porosity aluminum-magnesium-calcium rare earth-based closed-cell foamed aluminum alloy, using calcium carbonate as a foaming agent, and the mass percentage of calcium carbonate in the alloy is 0.5% to 5%. The porosity of the prepared low-porosity Al-Mg-Ca rare-earth-based closed-cell foam aluminum alloy is 40% to 75%, such as 41%, 47%, 52%, 58%, 63%, 69%, and 73%, including aluminum , magnesium, calcium, and rare earth, wherein magnesium accounts for 1% to 11% by mass of the alloy, calcium accounts for 0.5 to 5% by mass of the alloy, rare earth accounts for 0.10% to 1.2% by mass of the alloy, and the rare earth component is cerium , lanthanum, yttrium, praseodymium, scandium or a mixture of two or more of them, if it is a mixture, it can be in any proportion.

Embodiment 2

[0018] Embodiment 2: A method for preparing the aforementioned low-porosity aluminum-magnesium-calcium rare earth-based closed-cell foamed aluminum alloy, comprising the following steps:

[0019] In the first step, pure aluminum (which can be industrial pure aluminum) is heated to melt, and magnesium equivalent to 1% to 11% of the alloy mass is added, for example, it can be selected as: 1.5%, 1.8%, 2.6%, 3.5%, 4.6% %, 5.9%, 6.3%, 6.9%, 7.2%, 7.8%, 8.3%, 8.7%, 9.2%, 9.9%, adding calcium equivalent to 0.5% to 5% of the alloy mass, for example, it can be selected as: 1.5% , 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.6%, 3.5%, 4.6%, the mass percentage of rare earth in the alloy is 0.10% ~ 1.2%, for example, it can be selected as: 0.15%, 0.18%, 0.22%, 0.26%, 0.35%, 0.46% %, 0.55%, 0.67%, 0.73%, 0.79%, 0.85%, 0.92%, 1.03%, 1.15%, 1.19%, let stand for 10-30min. The time can be selected as 8 minutes, 23 minutes, and 28 minutes.

[0020] The second step is to keep the melt temperature at 650°C-690°C. The temper...

Abstract

The invention discloses a low porosity rate Al-Mg-Ca-rare-earth-based closed-cell foamed aluminum alloy and a preparation method which are a foamed aluminum alloy with good corrosion-resistant performance, high strength, high finished product rate, simple method and low cost and a preparation method. The foamed aluminum alloy takes calcium carbonate as a foaming agent, the porosity rate is between 40 and 75 percent, wherein, the manganese accounts for 1 to 11 percent (mass percentage) of the alloy, the calcium accounts for 0.5 to 5 percent (mass percentage) of the alloy, the rare earth accounts for 0.10 to 1.2 percent (mass percentage) of the alloy. The preparation method is that: the pure aluminum is heated up for melting, the melting body is added with the manganese equivalent to 1 to 11 percent of the mass of the alloy, the calcium equivalent to 0.5 to 5 percent of the mass of the alloy and the rare earth equivalent to 0.10 to 1.2 percent of the mass of the alloy, and kept for 10 to 30 minutes; the temperature of the melting body is ensured between 650 and 690 DEG C, the melting body is stirred for 2 to 12minutes with the speed of between 300 and 600rpm; the calcium carbonate equivalent to 0.5 to 5 percent of the mass of the pure aluminum is added into the melting body to stir so as to make the aluminum alloy melting body to be foamed, the low porosity rate Al-Mg-Ca-rare-earth-based closed-cell foamed aluminum alloy is obtained after cooling.
