Problems solved by technology

At present, aluminum alloy materials are widely used in construction, military and industrial fields. The aluminum alloy materials produced by civil and military enterprises have low strength, low hardness, and poor toughness, which cannot meet the requirements of modern technology development for high load, light weight, and Requirements for good toughness
The bats made of existing aluminum alloy materials often have low strength and hardness, and cannot withstand the impact force of the ball on the bat when hitting the ball violently. In addition, the bats made of existing aluminum alloy materials have poor toughness and are affected by the The severe impact cannot be quickly restored to its original shape, and brittle cracks often occur, or cause vibration shock to the human body, which makes people feel uncomfortable and reduces the quality of exercise.

Abstract

The invention discloses a strong and tough aluminum alloy for a baseball bat. The strong and tough aluminum alloy comprises the following components by weight: 0.05% of Si, 0.08 to 0.15% of Fe, 2.0 to 2.2% of Cu, 0.05% of Mn, 2.3 to 2.8% of Mg, 0.01% of Cr, 7.2 to 7.8% of Zn, 0.06 to 0.08% of Ti and 0.12 to 0.15% of Zr, with the balance being Al. According to the invention, through increase of the content of zinc in the composition of the aluminum alloy, strength and hardness of the aluminum alloy are effectively improved; through increase of the content of titanium in the aluminum alloy, crystal grains are refined, brittleness is inhibited, and the disadvantage of poor toughness of conventional aluminum alloys is overcome; through improvement of melting and heat treatment technology, overall performance of the aluminum alloy is effectively enhanced, and the aluminum alloy can meet requirements of modern technological development for high-load, lightweight and good toughness of aluminum alloy materials; and the aluminum alloy has the characteristics of light weight, good toughness and fast travel distance of hit balls when applied to a baseball bat.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metal materials, in particular to a strong and tough aluminum alloy for a ball bat. Background technique [0002] Baseball and softball are a kind of ball games characterized by playing with a bat, and are highly collective and antagonistic. Most of the bats are metal bats. With the development of sports, more and more people like to enjoy the fun brought by this type of sports. The quality of the bat directly determines the quality of sports. A good quality bat not only needs a certain hardness and strength to withstand the impact of the ball during strenuous exercise, but also has good toughness to reduce the impact of the ball on the human body during exercise. , to reduce the damage to the human body during exercise. [0003] Aluminum alloy is a general term for aluminum-based alloys. The main alloying elements include copper, silicon, magnesium, zinc, and manganese, and the secondary elements include nickel,...
