Abstract

A method for preparing aluminum cerium intermediate alloy through high-intensity ultrasound comprises the following steps of: (1) placing pure aluminum ingots in a crucible for heating to melt, wrapping rare earth cerium particles in the diameter of 20-100mu m by using aluminized paper, pressing in the pure aluminum melt, keeping warm for 20-30 minutes at the temperature of 725DEG C-745 DEG C, and enabling the rare earth cerium content to be 18% of the total weight; (2) stretching a ultrasonic amplitude transformer in a position which is 8-15mm away from a liquid level of alloy melt to conduct batch-type high-intensity ultrasound and enabling ultrasound intensity to be 0.6kw / cm<2>-0.8 kw / cm<2>; (3) enabling ultrasound execution time to be 8-15 minutes, enabling each time of high-intensity ultrasound execution time to be 30-50s, and enabling rest time to be 30-50s; and (4) cooling the alloy melt to 700DEG C-710 DEG C for refining and impurity removing, and conducting pouring. The method is low in melting temperature, capable of effectively avoiding burning loss of rare earth, stable in rare earth content, low in energy consumption, simple in process, safe, reliable and uniform in alloy content and reduces segregation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a rare earth alloy, in particular to a method for preparing an aluminum-cerium master alloy by high-energy ultrasound. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-rare-earth master alloy is an efficient refinement modifier with good refinement and modification effect. It is widely used in the refinement and modification of aluminum and its alloys. It can significantly refine the alloy structure and improve the mechanical properties of the alloy. In the long-term research, people continue to explore the preparation methods of aluminum-rare earth alloys. At present, the production methods of rare earth aluminum alloys are roughly summarized as follows: 1. Direct fusion method: adding rare earth or mixed rare earth metals in a certain proportion Into the high-temperature aluminum liquid, the master alloy is obtained. It is characterized by convenient operation and stable alloy composition content. The disadva...
