Problems solved by technology

[0003] It has been found that cerium, lanthanum, zirconium, manganese, titanium, strontium and other elements have a grain refinement effect on zinc-aluminum alloys. These elements are mainly aluminum-based master alloys (such as Al-Sr master alloys), salts (such as K 2 TiF 6 、K 2 ZrF 6 ), rare earth forms are added to the zinc-aluminum alloy to be refined, these refiners will have many problems in the actual use process: the melting temperature of rare earth and aluminum-based master alloy is much higher than the melting temperature of zinc-aluminum alloy, in order to refine If the zinc-aluminum alloy is melted into the zinc-aluminum alloy and distributed evenly, it is necessary to increase the melting temperature or prolong the holding time when refining, which will greatly increase the production cost; after the zinc-aluminum alloy is added to the aluminum-based master alloy refiner, the aluminum content will have a large increase. Changes, which may lead to some performance changes; the absorption of effective refinement elements after salts are added to the zinc-aluminum melt is unstable, so that the addition amount cannot be precisely controlled, and other salt compounds will be produced during the refinement process. Become inclusions in zinc-aluminum alloys and deteriorate their mechanical properties

Abstract

The invention discloses a Zn-Al-Ti intermediate alloy comprising the following ingredients in percentage by weight: 2.94-40wt% of Al, 4-16wt% of Ti and the balance of Zn. The invention also discloses a preparation method of the intermediate alloy. After the prepared Zn-Al-Ti intermediate alloy is added into Zn-Al alloy to be refined, TiAl3-xZnx particles can directly serve as a nucleation core inthe primary alpha-Al crystal grain crystallization process in the Zn-Al alloy so as to achieve the purpose of refining the crystal grain. In addition, parts of TiAl3-xZnx particles are melted to release titanium atoms; and the primary alpha-Al crystal grain is refined by composition undercooling action. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple, the obtained intermediate alloy has efficient crystal grain refining action, and the alpha-Al crystal grain after Zn-Al alloy is solidified can be obviously refined.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a zinc-aluminum-titanium master alloy and a preparation method thereof. The prepared zinc-aluminum-titanium master alloy can be used to refine the grain structure of the zinc-aluminum alloy, and belongs to the technical field of metal alloy materials. Background technique [0002] Zinc-aluminum alloys with an aluminum content higher than 5wt.% have excellent mechanical and processing properties and have broad market application potential. However, this type of zinc-aluminum alloy tends to generate 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 risks of products. In order to overcome the above problems, it is necessary to add a grain refiner to the zinc-aluminum alloy to refine the grains in actual production. [0003] It has been foun...
