TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of aluminum alloy electric power fitting preparation, and particularly relates to a production method of a two-split spacer frame. BACKGROUND
[0002] The water power and energy in China are mainly distributed in the central and western parts, and need to be transported over a long distance after being converted into electric energy. The electric energy is often transported through a power transmission line at high or extra-high voltage, and the power transmission line usually adopts two or more parallel wires. In order to meet the requirement of electric power transmission, the diameter of the wire is large, and in order to reduce the cost, the support point span between adjacent wires is large. Under the action of external force in the environment, the wire drops or swings, the wires close to each other even touch each other to cause short circuit, and the safe operation of the power transmission line is reduced. In order to keep the distance between the parallel wires in the power transmission line stable, a two-split spacer is usually used for fixation. The two-split spacer is used for relative fixation between two parallel wires.
[0003] There are many types of two-split spacers, but the structures are similar. For example, the Chinese invention patent application (201611004547.4) discloses a pre-hinged two-split spacer. The pre-hinged two-split spacer comprises a frame, two wire clamp arms and two wire clamp plates. The middle parts of the two wire clamp arms are respectively connected with the two arms of the frame through pivots. The ends of the two wire clamp arms are provided with stop blocks. The two arms of the frame are provided with limiting grooves for placing the stop blocks. The upper end of the wire clamp plate is connected with the end of the wire clamp arm through a pin shaft. The other end of the wire clamp plate is clamped through a lock rod installed on the wire clamp arm. The wire clamp arm and the wire clamp plate are respectively provided with damping pads in the semicircular arcs. The relative fixation between the two parallel wires is realized. The frame is a component of the two-split spacer. The two-split spacer frame is currently made by sand casting or directly processed from a plate. The frame made by sand casting has low cost, but the organization is loose and not dense, the tensile strength is low, and the yield is low. The frame directly processed from a plate has dense organization, but the production cost is high, and the processing process is complex. SUMMARY

[0006] Step S1: smelting; raw material aluminum ingots are added into a reverberatory furnace or an electric resistance furnace for heating and melting, according to the components of the aluminum ingots, small materials are added into the aluminum liquid so that the components of the aluminum liquid are within the following ranges, Si: 10-13, Fe: 0.5-2.0, Cu: 1.0-2.5, Mg: 0.2-0.4, Mn: 0.05-0.1, Ti: 0.01-0.03, Ni: 0.01-0.02, Ba: 0.005-0.01, Cr: 0.01-0.1, B<=0.001, P<=0.001, S<=0.001; refining, the aluminum liquid is discharged, and aluminum titanium alloy and aluminum barium alloy are added during the discharging process so that the titanium and barium contents in the aluminum liquid after discharging are within the following ranges, Ti: 0.01-0.03, Ba: 0.005-0.01; and the aluminum titanium alloy and the aluminum barium alloy are added into a holding furnace for use.
[0007] Step S2: mold; the mold is a metal mold, the fixed mold and the movable mold of the metal mold surround to form a cavity of the two-split spacer frame and a pouring system; when the metal mold is closed, a demolding agent is sprayed on the inner surface of the metal mold; the hard phase is mixed in the demolding agent and is sprayed on the inner surface of the metal mold along with the demolding agent;
[0008] Step S3: high-pressure die casting; the aluminum liquid in the holding furnace is dug into a barrel chamber of a die casting machine, a shooting rod pushes the aluminum liquid at a low speed of 0.2M / s so that the aluminum liquid fills the barrel chamber, the shooting rod pushes the aluminum liquid into the pouring system and the cavity of the two-split spacer frame at a high speed of 1M / s, the pressure is increased to 55MPa-62MPa, the pressure maintaining time is 5S-20S, and the high-pressure die casting is completed;
[0009] Step S4: mold opening; after the high-pressure die casting is completed, the movable mold is opened, the two-split spacer frame and the pouring system are integrally pushed out under the action of a mold ejector rod, and the two-split spacer frame and the pouring system are taken away by a mechanical hand;
[0010] Step S5: cleaning; the pouring system is cut off, and burrs and flash of the two-split spacer frame are polished;
[0011] Step S6: heat treatment: stress relief annealing, the bisection spacer frame is placed in the heat treatment furnace, the heat treatment temperature is controlled at 195±5℃, the heat preservation time is 8~10h, and the furnace is cooled down.
[0012] The production method of the bisection spacer frame has the following advantages:

[0014] (2) The material of the bisection spacer frame is aluminum-silicon alloy, the Si content is set to 10~13, which is near the eutectic point of aluminum-silicon alloy, and the aluminum alloy has good fluidity, which is beneficial to high-pressure casting; iron is a harmful element in aluminum alloy, and the iron content in aluminum-silicon alloy is controlled at 0.5~2.0; high iron content is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the bisection spacer; in the aluminum alloy, Fe forms β-Fe or α-Al8Fe2Si second phase, but β-Fe phase presents fishbone shape, and α-AL8Fe2Si presents needle shape, which seriously cracks the matrix and reduces the tensile strength of the bisection spacer frame. Through multiple experiments, when the Fe content is within 0.5~2.0, 0.05~0.1Mn, 1.0~2.5Cu and 0.01~0.1Cr are added to the aluminum alloy, the ratio of Fe, Mn, Cu and Cr is reasonably set, Mn and Cu form a certain proportion of (FeMn)Al6, Al 64 Cu 24 Fe 12 second phase, thereby reducing or replacing the formation of β-Fe or α-AL8Fe2Si second phase, (FeMn)Al6, Al 64 Cu 24 Fe 12 present strip or sheet shape, which is beneficial to reducing the addition of Fe to crack the matrix; and is beneficial to improving the tensile strength. The addition of 0.01~0.1Cr replaces the position of Fe in Al 64 Cu 24 Fe 12 forms Al 64 Cu 24 Fe 10 Cr2, which improves the shape or size of Al 64 Cu 24 Fe 12 , further reduces the cracking of the matrix; and is beneficial to improving the tensile strength and hardness.
