Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the conventional aluminum-steel composite forging technology mainly faces several problems. First, the deformation of aluminum and steel is not coordinated. Both metals of aluminum and steel adopt thermoplastic forming technology. The aluminum alloy core still has a large deformation resistance, resulting in deformation of steel and aluminum. Out of synchronization, which in turn causes the steel layer to have serious uneven thickness, folding, local damage and other defects; second, the poor bonding of the aluminum-steel interface, due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between steel and aluminum alloy, it is easy to cause cracks at the aluminum-steel interface. , because a dense oxide film is easy to form on the surface of aluminum, it is difficult to effectively break the oxide film in the conventional composite forging process, so that a reliable metallurgical interface cannot be obtained, which seriously affects the bonding performance of the interface

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of forming a thixotropic soft core of an aluminum-steel bimetal member through composite forging. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly manufacturing analuminum alloy core body and a steel sleeve which have certain sizes and shapes, heating the aluminum alloy core body and carrying out heat preservation until the aluminum alloy core body is in a semi-solid texture state, heating the steel sleeve until the steel sleeve is in a thermoplastic state, quickly guiding the aluminum alloy core body and the steel sleeve into a mold, and assembling to complete the composite forging. By utilizing the good fluidity of the aluminum alloy in the semi-solid state, the coordinated deformation of the aluminum alloy core body and the steel sleeve is realized,so that the composite member is more precisely formed; in addition, a liquid phase portion in the semi-solid aluminum alloy core body reacts with the steel sleeve to form a stable interface with highbonding strength. The metallurgical combination of aluminum-steel bimetal coordinated deformation and interface reliability is realized; and the high-performance advantage of steel and the lightweight advantage of the aluminum alloy are effectively integrated.
