Problems solved by technology

[0003] Aluminum-titanium-boron master alloy is a very good aluminum and aluminum alloy refiner commonly used. This master alloy can also be used for grain refinement of zinc-aluminum alloy, but the melting temperature of aluminum-titanium-boron master alloy (higher than 661°C) and the melting temperature of zinc-aluminum alloy (382-600°C) have a large gap, and the addition of aluminum-titanium-boron intermediate alloy in the normal smelting process of zinc-aluminum alloy will have the problem of difficulty in melting or incomplete melting. As a result, it is difficult for the master alloy to be evenly distributed in the zinc-aluminum alloy, and the ideal grain refinement effect cannot be achieved
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the melting temperature of zinc-aluminum alloy or extend the holding time during refinement, which will increase the burning loss and oxidation of zinc elements in zinc-aluminum alloy, reduce its performance, and will inevitably greatly increase the production cost ;In addition, the aluminum content of zinc-aluminum alloy will change greatly after adding aluminum-based master alloy refiner, which may cause some changes in structure and properties
In addition, rare earth elements and some salts (such as K 2 TiF 6 、K 2 ZrF 6 ) can also produce grain refinement on zinc-aluminum alloys, but rare earths have the same problems as the above-mentioned aluminum-titanium-boron intermediate alloys, and other salt compounds will be produced in zinc-aluminum alloys when the salts are refined (such as KalF 4 ) is difficult to clean and becomes zinc-aluminum alloy inclusions, which deteriorates the mechanical properties. The bigger problem is that the absorption of effective refinement elements in salts is unstable, and it is difficult to precisely control the amount added

Abstract

The invention discloses a zinc-aluminum-titanium-boron intermediate alloy and a preparation method thereof, and the intermediate alloy consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 0.022-12% of titanium, 0.01-3.5% of boron, 0.1-50% of aluminum and the balance of zinc. The intermediate alloy obtained by using the method disclosed by the invention has high-efficiency grain refinement action; and in addition, by using the method, the intermediate alloy has the aluminum content identical or similar to that of the zinc-aluminum alloy to be refined, so that the intermediate alloy has the melting temperature identical to or lower than that of the zinc-aluminum alloy to be refined, thus ensuring that the intermediate alloy is quickly melted and evenly distributed after being addedto the zinc-aluminum alloy during grain refining, thereby reducing the zinc-aluminum alloy melting temperature, shortening the melting and processing time, and greatly lowering the production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a zinc-aluminum alloy refiner and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a zinc-aluminum-titanium-boron intermediate alloy and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of metal alloy materials. Background technique [0002] Zinc-aluminum alloy has excellent mechanical and processing properties, and has broad market application potential. However, hypereutectic zinc-aluminum alloys with an aluminum content greater than 5wt.% tend to form well-developed primary α-Al dendrites during the solidification process, resulting in shrinkage cavities, shrinkage porosity, and intragranular component segregation defects, resulting in a decline in mechanical properties and potential aging hazards of the product. In order to overcome the above problems, it is necessary to add a grain refiner to this type of zinc-aluminum alloy to refine the grain in actual production. Hypoeutectic zinc-aluminum alloys with alum...
