Embodiment Construction

[0028] The mass percent of each component of an aluminum alloy for automobile wheel hub of the present invention is: Zn 4.5-6.3wt%, Mg 1.4-2.5wt%, Cu 0.5-0.9wt%, Zr 0.12-0.3%wt, Ti 0.05-0.15 wt%, Cr 0.05-0.2wt%, Sc 0.1-0.3wt%, the rest is Al. Each component of the alloy also contains impurity elements in a mass percentage of Si<0.1wt%, Fe<0.2wt%.

[0029] A kind of manufacture method of aluminum alloy for automobile wheel hub of the present invention is:

[0030] (1) First, according to pure Al 60-84%, industrial pure Mg 1.49-2.66%, industrial pure Zn 4.64-6.49%, AlCu50 master alloy 1.0-1.8%, AlZr15 master alloy 0.8-2.0%, AlTi5B1 master alloy 1.0-3.0 %, 2.5-10% of AlCr2 master alloy, and 5-15% of AlSc2 master alloy by weighing raw materials. Among them, the burning loss of the Mg element is relatively large, and the upper limit of the composition should be used as much as possible when weighing;

[0031] (2) Melt pure Al to 760-800°C in a smelting furnace, and then add indu...

Abstract

The invention provides an aluminium alloy for a vehicle hub and a preparation method thereof. The alloy comprises the following components by weight percent: 4.5-6.3% of Zn, 1.4-2.5% of Mg, 0.5-0.9% of Cu, 0.12-0.3% of Zr, 0.05-0.15% of Ti, 0.05-0.2% of Cr, 0.1-0.3% of Sc and the balance of Al. The preparation method of the aluminium alloy comprises the following steps: weighting raw materials, melting the raw materials except for magnesium blocks, adding a covering agent, then adding the preheated magnesium blocks, stirring, injecting nitrogen or argon to degas, filtering with a ported ceramic plate, reducing the temperature, standing for 20 minutes, and adopting a liquid forging mould and a liquid forging forming method to prepare the hub. The prepared vehicle hub has high strength, impact toughness and corrosion resistance; and the mechanical properties of the aluminium alloy hub can be ensured, the production cost can be reduced and the large-scale production of the hub is easy to perform.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metals, in particular to an aluminum alloy for automobile wheel hubs. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method of the aluminum alloy used for the automobile hub. Background technique [0002] In the production process of automobile aluminum wheels, the main consideration is strength. The forging process adopted abroad can obtain a dense metal structure, and the strength of this aluminum wheel hub is three times that of the aluminum wheel hub using the general casting process. However, the forging process requires relatively sophisticated production equipment, and the yield rate is only 50%-60%, and the production cost is relatively high. Although the casting process has greater flexibility in design and can be rapidly prototyped, it is prone to defects such as shrinkage cavities and porosity, and the strength of the hub is relatively low. [0003] The liquid die forging process combines the advantage...
