Problems solved by technology

However, there are two problems in this alloy: (1) In order to pursue high thermal conductivity, the Fe content in this alloy is only 0.2% to 0.4%, and too low Fe content is not conducive to the demolding of die castings (especially complex thin-walled parts) , reduce production efficiency and increase mold loss; (2) The thermal conductivity disclosed in this patent is actually the performance of alloy ingots rather than die castings, but after the alloy is smelted and die cast into casting products, due to the high cooling rate of the die casting process, Si etc. The amount of solid solution of elements in the aluminum matrix increases significantly, and the thermal conductivity of the actual die-casting will drop significantly, that is, the thermal conductivity of the die-casting produced by this alloy is lower than 190W / (m K)
Patent CN 105177368A discloses a die-casting rare earth aluminum alloy with high thermal conductivity and high conductivity. The rate is 10-18%, but the alloy adds expensive rare earth elements Y, Ce and La
Patent CN 100473735C discloses a high-conductivity and thermal-conduction, high-strength aluminum alloy, which is also added with rare earth elements and is only suitable for deformation processing, not for die-casting

[0053] Will Example 1 The ingots of alloy 4, alloy 5 and ADC12 alloy were heated and remelted into molten aluminum respectively, and high-purity argon gas was introduced into the melt by rotary degassing equipment again for degassing and refining. The degassing time was 15 minutes. After degassing, carry out slag removal.

[0054] When the molten aluminum cools down to overheating 50°C, use a 300-ton die-casting machine to die-cast a batch of flat test pieces and standard tensile samples with a thickness of 3 mm. Randomly select 5 flat test pieces for each alloy to test their thermal conductivity and 5 tensile test pieces. The mechanical properties of the samples were tested, and the comparison of the average thermal conductivity and mechanical properties data is shown in Table 2. It can be seen from the table that the aluminum alloy of the present invention still maintains excellent thermal conductivity and good mechanical properties after die casting.
