Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of diffusion welding, more particularly to the technical field of vacuum metallurgical connection method of high-silicon aluminum alloy. BACKGROUND
[0002] Silicon-aluminum alloy is a binary alloy composed of silicon and aluminum, which is a metal-based thermal management material mainly used for alloy materials of aerospace, space technology and portable electronic devices. High-silicon aluminum alloy material can maintain the excellent performance of silicon and aluminum, and the content of silicon and aluminum is quite rich, the preparation technology of silicon powder is mature, and the cost is low. At the same time, this material has no pollution to the environment and is harmless to the human body. The density of high-silicon aluminum alloy is between 2.4~2.7g / cm³, and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is between 7~20ppm / ℃, and the density and thermal expansion coefficient of the alloy material can be significantly reduced by increasing the silicon content. Among them, the silicon content of more than 22% is called high-silicon aluminum alloy, and the main content is 25%~70%.
[0003] For the composite connection of metals, welding is generally used, and the common welding methods include argon arc welding, brazing, diffusion welding, electron beam welding, friction stir welding, etc. Since silicon and aluminum will produce eutectic reaction at 577℃, the welding method is not suitable for the welding of high-silicon aluminum alloy, the available brazing filler metal is less, and it is all low-temperature filler metal, so the strength of the welded joint after welding is low, so the brazing method is generally not used. Friction stir welding is an effective and feasible welding method, but the structure that can be welded is limited, and the welding depth is limited, so it is not used.
[0004] Diffusion welding is to tightly press two workpieces to be welded together and place them in a vacuum or protective atmosphere furnace for heating, so that the small unevenness of the two welding surfaces produces micro-plastic deformation to achieve close contact. In the subsequent heating and holding, atoms diffuse to each other to form a metallurgical connection. The diffusion welding process can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the physical contact stage. Under the action of pressure and temperature, some points on the connected surface first reach plastic deformation. Under the action of continuous pressure, the contact area gradually expands to finally achieve reliable contact of the whole surface. The second stage is the mutual diffusion of atoms in the contact interface to form a firm bonding layer. The third stage is that the bonding layer formed in the contact part gradually develops in the volume direction to form a reliable connection joint. Of course, the three processes are not completely separated, but are interlaced, and finally form a solid-state metallurgical bond in the joint connection area due to diffusion, recrystallization and other processes. It can generate solid solution and eutectic, and sometimes generate intermetallic compound to form reliable connection.
[0005] Diffusion welding is a solid-phase connection, and the welding temperature is lower than the melting point of the workpiece. The diffusion welding method is used for welding high-silicon aluminum alloy, and the welding temperature is lower than the eutectic reaction temperature of silicon and aluminum (577 DEG C), so that the eutectic reaction of silicon and aluminum does not occur during welding.
[0006] In the diffusion welding connection of high-silicon element content silicon aluminum alloy, the content of silicon element is high, when the two blank welding surfaces contact, the contact proportion of silicon element and silicon element is large, the silicon atom is relatively stable and not easy to diffuse with each other, the welding rate after welding is low, it is not easy to form a stable welding joint, and the strength of the weld position is low.
