Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this invention technology are: the addition of Sc element exceeds its maximum solid solubility in aluminum, and cannot achieve the best contribution effect in improving the electrical conductivity; too high melting temperature will easily lead to large burning loss, and the composition is not easy to control; In addition, the yield strength of the wire material is low
The disadvantages of this invention technology are: the boronization process increases the material manufacturing process and time; the addition of Sc elements is less, the effect on the modification of aluminum alloy is small, the strength and elongation are low, and the aluminum wire is prone to brittle fracture
[0005] At present, domestic aluminum alloy wire materials are generally unable to increase the electrical conductivity to above 61% IACS while ensuring high strength and high toughness.

Abstract

The invention provides a high-strength high-conductivity aluminum-scandium alloy as well as a preparation method thereof and a use thereof. The alloy consists of the following components in percentage by weight: 0.2-0.4 wt% of scandium (Sc), 0.01-0.15 wt% of zirconium (Zr), 0.1-0.3 wt% of manganese (Mn), less than or equal to 0.1% of other impurity elements, and the balance Al. The preparation method for the high-strength high-conductivity aluminum-scandium alloy comprises the following steps of: taking a pure Al ingot, an AlSc intermediate alloy, an AlZr intermediate alloy and an AlMn intermediate alloy as raw materials, putting the raw materials into a smelting furnace in proportion, and performing casting to obtain a cast ingot after performing stirring, refining, purifying, degassing, slagging-off and standing on melt; extruding the cast ingot into an aluminum alloy rod in an extrusion ratio of 25; and performing staged thermal treatment on the rod, and drawing the rod into a high-strength aluminum alloy wire through a wire drawing machine. The Sc-containing aluminum alloy wire has conductivity greater than or equal to 61% IACs, has alloy tensile strength greater than 240 MPa, has yield strength greater than 160 MPa, has ductility of 8%, and has a long-term operation temperature which can be up to 200 DEG C.
