Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of brazing materials, in particular to a high-performance aluminum-based filler metal and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Brazing is an important joining technology that is widely used to connect metal materials to achieve the assembly of structures and the integration of functions. With the continuous progress of science and technology, especially in high-end fields such as aerospace, rail transportation, automobile manufacturing, and electronic devices, the performance requirements for brazed joints are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Traditional aluminum-based filler metals have many limitations in practical applications and are difficult to meet the high-performance requirements of high-end manufacturing fields, such as: (1) wettability, the spreading performance of traditional aluminum-based filler metals on the surface of the base material is not good enough, which leads to the formation of brazed joints that are not firm and uniform, seriously affecting the welding quality. In the field of aerospace, the welding of parts requires high precision and reliability, and the insufficient wettability of traditional filler metals may cause welding defects, endangering flight safety. (2) Flowability, flowability is also a shortcoming of traditional aluminum-based filler metals. When facing narrow welds, not only is the weld filling rate low, but it is also difficult to fully fill. In the manufacturing of electronic devices, the welding of small parts requires filler metal to accurately fill narrow spaces to ensure the stability and reliability of circuit connections. Obviously, the low flowability of traditional aluminum-based filler metals cannot meet this requirement. (3) Strength, the joint strength of traditional aluminum-based filler metals is limited, and failure may occur when subjected to large load stress, which cannot guarantee the stability and reliability of the welded structure under complex working conditions. In the field of automobile manufacturing, the running of vehicles produces various vibrations and impacts, and insufficient strength of the welded joint may cause parts to loosen or break, affecting the performance and safety of the automobile. (4) Thermal conductivity, the thermal conductivity of traditional aluminum-based filler metals is relatively low, and the heat dissipation efficiency is not high during work, and heat is easily accumulated, which leads to a decrease in material performance or structural damage. For electronic devices, overheating will affect their performance and lifespan, so there is a high requirement for the thermal conductivity of filler metals, and traditional aluminum-based filler metals cannot meet the requirement of high thermal conductivity. (5) Corrosion resistance, this is also a significant problem of traditional aluminum-based filler metals. In harsh corrosive environments such as marine engineering, chemical industry, etc., traditional aluminum-based filler metals are easily corroded, with a shortened service life and increased maintenance costs. For example, equipment in marine engineering is exposed to high salinity and high humidity environments for a long time, and the corrosion problem of traditional aluminum-based filler metals will seriously affect the reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0004] To meet the needs of high-end precision manufacturing fields, there is an urgent need to develop an aluminum-based filler metal with excellent wettability, flowability, joint strength, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the present application is proposed. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above shortcomings of the background art, the present application provides a high-performance aluminum-based filler metal and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the problem that the wettability, flowability, joint strength, thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and the like of the prior art cannot meet the use requirements in the high-end precision manufacturing field.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the main technical scheme adopted by the present application includes:

[0007] On the one hand, the present application provides a high-performance aluminum-based filler metal, which comprises the following components in the following amounts: silicon 5-15wt%, copper 1-8wt%, rare earth elements 0.2-2wt%, trace elements 0.02-0.5wt%, nano-enhanced phase 0.3-3wt%, and Al as the balance.

[0008] The rare earth elements are a combination of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium;

[0009] The trace elements are a combination of titanium, zirconium, boron and vanadium, and the content ratio of titanium and zirconium is 1:(0.5-1), and the content ratio of boron and vanadium is 1:(0.3-2);

[0010] The nano-enhanced phase is a combination of nano-aluminum oxide and nano-silicon carbide, and the content of nano-aluminum oxide in the nano-enhanced phase is 30-70wt%.

[0011] Copper plays an important role in improving the strength and thermal conductivity of the filler joint, and accurate control of the copper content can reduce the amount and control the production cost while maintaining the strength and thermal conductivity of the filler. The addition of silicon can significantly improve the flowability of the filler, and the improvement of the flowability of the filler can enhance the spreadability and filling property of the filler, which is more helpful to the better play of the strength and thermal conductivity of copper under the same copper content.

[0012] The introduction of silicon is mainly used to strengthen the flowability of the filler during brazing, which provides a good liquid flow basis, so that the filler can flow and fill more easily at the welding site. However, the introduction of silicon will increase the brittleness of the filler, therefore, the content of silicon is strictly controlled in the range of 5-15wt%, and the content of copper is optimized to 1-8wt%, which is significantly lower than that of the prior art, so that the production cost is significantly reduced. Moreover, within the above range, the synergistic effect of copper and aluminum can optimize the flowability of the filler, improve the spreadability and filling property, and at the same time improve the strength of the welded joint, better adapt to complex weld structure, and make up for the brittleness defect caused by silicon;

[0013] The addition of rare earth elements has a significant effect on the improvement of the performance of the brazing filler metal, especially in improving the wettability, oxidation resistance and joint strength; during the solidification process of the brazing filler metal, rare earth elements such as lanthanum La, cerium Ce and neodymium Nd react with main alloying elements such as aluminum Al, silicon Si and copper Cu to form various intermetallic compounds including LaAl3, CeSi2 and NdCu2, which are high-strength and high-hardness intermetallic compounds, and these intermetallic compounds are dispersedly distributed at the welded joint, which can effectively hinder the movement of dislocations, thereby significantly improving the tensile strength of the welded joint, fully meeting the stringent requirements of high-end precision manufacturing on the high strength and high stability of the welded joint;

[0014] The trace elements are a combination of titanium, zirconium, boron and vanadium, and the combination of titanium and zirconium in a defined ratio helps to refine the grain of the brazing filler metal and enhance its corrosion resistance; the synergistic effect of boron and vanadium in a defined ratio can enhance the high-temperature resistance of the brazing filler metal, so that the brazing filler metal can still maintain good performance under high-temperature working conditions;

[0015] The introduction of nano-enhanced phases can further improve the mechanical properties of the brazing filler metal, and through the interaction with other alloying elements at the microstructure level, it also helps to further overcome the brittleness problem caused by the introduction of silicon and improve the corrosion resistance of the product, and comprehensively optimize the overall performance of the brazing filler metal;

[0016] Aluminum is the base material and accounts for the largest proportion in the brazing filler metal, and it has excellent characteristics of light weight and high thermal conductivity, providing basic physical performance support for the entire brazing filler metal system, and is a key factor to realize good thermal conductivity and light weight of the brazing filler metal in actual application.

[0017] The components coexist and synergize according to the above proportions, and the high-performance aluminum-based brazing filler metal with good comprehensive performance including wettability, flowability, joint strength, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance can meet the use requirements in the field of high-end precision manufacturing.

[0018] Preferably, the components include the following contents: silicon 8-12wt%, copper 3-6wt%, rare earth elements 0.5-1.5wt%, trace elements 0.15-0.5wt%, nano-enhanced phases 1-2wt%, and Al balance;

[0019] In the rare earth elements, the content ratio of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium is (2-3):(3-4):(2-3);

[0020] In the trace elements, the total content of titanium and zirconium is 0.2-0.4wt%, and the total content of boron and vanadium is 0.1-0.3wt%, and the content ratio of titanium and zirconium is 1:(0.6-0.7), and the content ratio of boron and vanadium is 1:(0.9-1.1), and particularly preferably, the content ratio of titanium and zirconium is 1.5:1, and the content ratio of boron and vanadium is 1:1.

[0021] On the basis of the previous embodiment, the present application continues to optimize the proportion of each component and confirms that the product meets the content requirements, has stronger strength, and better fluidity.

[0022] Preferably, the content of rare earth elements is 0.5-1.2wt%, the total content of titanium and zirconium in trace elements is 0.3-0.45wt%, and the content ratio of titanium and zirconium is 1:(0.8-0.9).

[0023] After the addition of rare earth elements, the wettability, oxidation resistance, and joint strength are improved, and the corrosion resistance of the brazing filler is also improved. It is speculated that this may be related to the formation of various intermetallic compounds, or there may be a synergistic effect with other elements such as aluminum, copper, and silicon, which improves the corrosion resistance through microstructure such as purifying grain boundaries. Titanium and zirconium in trace elements can form a stable oxide film on the surface of the brazing filler, preventing the corrosion medium from contacting the substrate, thereby improving the corrosion resistance. In addition, titanium and zirconium may also affect the microstructure of the alloy, making the grain boundary more stable, which in turn helps to further improve the corrosion resistance. The present application unexpectedly found that when the content of rare earth elements is 0.5-1.2wt% and the total content of titanium and zirconium in trace elements is 0.3-0.45wt%, the content ratio of titanium and zirconium is 1:(0.8-0.9), the corrosion resistance of the obtained product is better.

[0024] Preferably, the content of copper is 5-7wt%.

[0025] The content of copper plays an important role in improving the thermal conductivity of aluminum-based brazing filler. Aluminum, as the base material, has high thermal conductivity, providing a basic guarantee for the thermal conductivity of the brazing filler. The presence of copper can increase the heat conduction channel and improve the thermal conductivity. The synergistic effect of copper and aluminum is more obvious for improving the thermal conductivity of the brazing filler. The present application found through creative labor that when the content of copper is 5-7%, the synergistic effect of copper and aluminum is most obvious, and the thermal conductivity of the obtained brazing filler is particularly excellent.

[0026] Further preferably, the nano-enhanced phase is a combination of nano-alumina and nano-silicon carbide with a mass ratio of 1:1, and the average particle size of nano-alumina and nano-silicon carbide is 10-100nm.

[0027] In theory, the smaller the particle size of nano-alumina and nano-silicon carbide, the better the performance. However, too small particle size will lead to poor dispersibility, which is not conducive to performance improvement. Therefore, the average particle size of nano-alumina and nano-silicon carbide is controlled to be 10-100nm, which can balance the dispersibility and the improvement effect on the mechanical properties of the product after addition.

[0028] The present application optimizes the types and proportions of components in the aluminum-based filler metal, and obtains an aluminum-based filler metal with good comprehensive performance that can meet the needs of high-end precision manufacturing field. Compared with the prior art, the high-performance aluminum-based filler metal has the following advantages:

[0029] (1) Good wettability, the spreading area is significantly improved, the filler metal can spread better on the surface of the base material during brazing, forming a more stable and uniform welded joint, effectively improving the welding quality.

[0030] (2) Good flowability, can fill narrow welds, the filling rate of the weld with a width of 0.15mm is up to 90% or more, so it has obvious advantages when used for welding complex structures or small parts, and can ensure the integrity and sealing of the weld.

[0031] (3) High joint strength, the tensile strength of the joint is significantly improved, up to 280-325MPa, the high-strength welded joint can withstand greater load stress, ensuring the stability and reliability of the welded structure during use, and better meeting the needs of high-end precision manufacturing field with high strength requirements.

[0032] (4) Good thermal conductivity, good thermal conductivity helps to dissipate heat in time during work, preventing heat accumulation from causing material performance degradation or structural damage, especially suitable for electronic devices and other fields with high heat dissipation requirements.

[0033] (5) Excellent corrosion resistance, the corrosion rate is very low during simulated marine environment test, excellent corrosion resistance allows it to work stably in harsh corrosive environments for a long time, prolonging the service life and reducing maintenance costs, thereby meeting the needs of aerospace, marine engineering and other fields with high corrosion resistance requirements.

[0034] On the other hand, the present application also provides a preparation method of the high-performance aluminum-based filler metal, comprising the following operation steps: S1, raw material preparation; S2, composite smelting; S3, tape casting; S4, post-treatment.

[0035] Preferably, in step S1, the sources of silicon, copper and aluminum are silicon block, copper block and aluminum block respectively, the source of rare earth elements is lanthanum-cerium-neodymium alloy block, the sources of trace elements are titanium powder, zirconium powder, boron powder and vanadium powder, and the sources of nano-enhanced phases are nano-aluminum oxide powder and nano-silicon carbide powder; the silicon block, copper block, aluminum block and lanthanum-cerium-neodymium alloy block are pretreated and then accurately weighed according to the stoichiometric ratio, and the pretreatment includes improving the purity of the raw materials and / or activating the surface state of the raw materials.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the powder corresponding to the trace elements is preferably micron-sized and nano-sized, such as titanium powder, zirconium powder, the average particle size of which is controlled to be 1-10 μm, and boron powder and vanadium powder, the average particle size of which is controlled to be 0.5-5 μm. Smaller particle size can ensure better performance and uniform dispersion in the brazing filler metal, and fully contact and reaction with other elements, so as to better play its role of refining grains and enhancing performance. Preferably, the powder of the trace elements is additionally subjected to ball milling treatment to further refine the particle size and improve the activity, which is helpful to better dispersion and alloying in the smelting process.

[0037] Preferably, in step S2, the composite smelting includes arc smelting and vacuum induction smelting. The remaining raw materials except the trace elements and the nano-enhanced phase are smelted by arc with a current of 400-1000 A and a voltage of 15-35 V to obtain a pre-melted alloy liquid, the pre-melted alloy liquid is poured into a cooling mold, cooled at a cooling rate of 30-150 ℃ / s, and a pre-alloy ingot is obtained. Then the pre-alloy ingot is broken and subjected to vacuum induction smelting. In the vacuum induction smelting, the temperature is first programmed to 750-850 ℃ and held for 5-30 min, and then the organic dispersion liquid of the nano-enhanced phase and the organic dispersion liquid of the trace elements are slowly added in sequence. The electromagnetic stirring is started, the stirring rate is 300-800 Hz, and the magnetic field strength is 0.05-0.3 T. The temperature is continuously held for 25-65 min to obtain a brazing filler metal liquid.

[0038] The organic dispersion liquid of the nano-enhanced phase and the organic dispersion liquid of the trace elements are both obtained by ultrasonic dispersion of the nano-enhanced phase and the trace elements in an organic solvent, respectively. The organic solvent only contains C, H and O elements.

[0039] In the present embodiment, in the arc smelting, the vacuum is first extracted to 10 -3 -10 -5 Pa, high-purity argon (purity ≥ 99.99%) is then filled into the furnace to a pressure of 0.01-0.05 MPa, the arc current is adjusted to 400-1000 A, the arc voltage is adjusted to 15-35 V, and the remaining raw materials except the trace elements and the nano-enhanced phase are smelted to obtain a pre-melted alloy liquid at a stirring rate of 30-120 rpm. As for the specific smelting time, it depends on the total amount of the raw materials involved in the smelting. Generally speaking, about 15-25 min is needed for 50-200 g of raw materials. Within this time range, it can be ensured that the raw materials are fully melted and preliminarily alloyed, and at the same time, problems such as excessive energy consumption and possible composition segregation due to too long time can be avoided. If the total amount of the raw materials is insufficient or exceeds the above range, the corresponding smelting time can be shortened or lengthened accordingly.

[0040] In the present embodiment, in the vacuum smelting, the vacuum is first extracted to 10 -4 -10 -5Pa, and then the temperature of the furnace is raised to 750-850°C at a rate of 6-16°C / min, and the temperature is maintained for 5-30 min to partially melt the pre-alloy ingot. At this time, the organic dispersion liquid of the nano-enhanced phase and the organic dispersion liquid of trace elements are injected into the alloy liquid in the furnace at a slow speed through a precision injection device, and the electromagnetic stirring is strengthened, with a stirring frequency of 300-800 Hz and a magnetic field strength of 0.05-0.3 T. Under this condition, the nano-particles can be uniformly dispersed in the alloy liquid, and the agglomeration phenomenon can be avoided. Then, the temperature is maintained for 25-65 min to ensure that the nano-particles and the alloy are fully fused and homogenized, so that the solder alloy with more stable and uniform performance is obtained.

[0041] It should be noted that:

[0042] (1) The organic dispersion liquid of the nano-enhanced phase and the organic dispersion liquid of the trace elements are dispersed in an organic solvent containing only C, H, and O elements, such as alcohol and ketone solvents, by ultrasonic. In order to improve the uniformity of dispersion, a small amount of surfactant can also be added. The composition of the surfactant contains as few high-temperature non-volatile elements as possible to avoid introducing non-designed impurity elements into the system. The organic solvent containing only C, H, and O is also an optimal implementation mode based on the introduction of impurities. Of course, the organic solvent can also be selected from other organic solvents outside the implementation mode of the present application. Since the vacuum melting is under high vacuum and high temperature, the organic solvent will volatilize in large quantities, and the subsequent series of post-processing will also reduce the impurity residues.

[0043] (2) The organic dispersion liquid of the nano-enhanced phase is injected first, and the preferred injection speed is 0.5-6 ml / min. The organic dispersion liquid of the trace elements is injected later, and the preferred injection speed is 0.5-2 ml / min. The injection speed of the organic dispersion liquid of the trace elements is slower.

[0044] The main role of the nano-enhanced phase is to further improve the mechanical properties of the filler metal by interacting with other alloying elements at the microstructure level. During the smelting process, the early addition of the nano-enhanced phase can make it interact with the base element at the initial stage of the alloy liquid formation, utilize its nano-scale characteristics, better disperse and form a good bonding interface with the base, fully play its reinforcing effect during the subsequent holding process, and optimize the microstructure of the alloy, such as grain refinement, improved uniformity, etc., to lay a good microstructure foundation for the subsequent addition and synergistic effect of trace elements. The total amount of trace elements is relatively small, and their role is mainly to refine the filler metal grains, enhance corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance by specific proportioning. In order to achieve uniform distribution, they need to be added at a slower injection speed. After the nano-enhanced phase has begun to interact with the alloy base and form a certain microstructure, the trace elements are added more slowly, which can make the trace elements more accurately play their synergistic effect with other elements on the basis of the optimized microstructure, such as Ti and Zr, which can further optimize the grain structure and enhance the stability of the grain boundary on the basis of the nano-enhanced phase refining the grains, and improve the corrosion resistance; B and V can better play their high temperature resistance in the microstructure environment improved by the nano-enhanced phase, so as to realize the synergistic effect between elements and improve the comprehensive performance of the filler metal. If trace elements are added first, they may not be able to fully play their synergistic effect with other elements due to their small amount and uneven distribution in the alloy liquid, and may affect the uniform dispersion of the nano-enhanced phase in the alloy liquid and its bonding effect with the base.

[0045] Preferably, in step S3, the tape casting is performed by a rapid solidification tape casting device, and the technical parameters of the tape casting are as follows: the linear speed of the copper roller is 25-40 m / s, the spraying pressure is 0.15-0.5 MPa, and the overheat degree of the filler metal liquid is 60-140℃, so as to obtain a filler metal thin strip with a thickness of 20-50 μm and a thickness tolerance of ±3 μm.

[0046] Preferably, in step S4, the post-treatment includes removing the surface oxide film, cleaning, drying under vacuum or inert gas protection, and aging treatment, and the aging treatment is performed at a temperature of 120-250℃ for 2-10 h.

[0047] In the embodiment, the specific operation of removing the surface oxide film can be: first, immerse the thin strip in an alkaline solution at room temperature with a pH of 7-9 for 3-15 minutes to remove the surface light oxide film and improve the cleanliness of the thin strip surface, thereby providing good surface conditions for subsequent processing. The specific operation of cleaning can be: rinsing with deionized water for 2-6 times to completely remove residual alkaline solution and other impurities, thereby ensuring the purity of the thin strip surface and preventing impurities from adversely affecting the performance of the filler metal. The specific operation of drying can be: low-temperature drying at 60-120 DEG C under high-purity nitrogen protection to remove moisture and ensure that the thin strip is in a dry state, thereby preventing moisture from causing adverse chemical reactions in subsequent aging treatment and other processes. The specific operation of aging treatment can be: placing the thin strip in an oven at a temperature of 120-250 DEG C for 2-10 hours. Aging treatment can further optimize the microstructure of the filler metal, promote the uniform diffusion of alloying elements, eliminate internal stress, and improve the comprehensive performance of the filler metal, such as strength, hardness and toughness, thereby better meeting application requirements.

[0048] After the post-processing is completed, the product is subjected to comprehensive quality detection by using non-destructive testing techniques (such as X-ray diffraction detection) to ensure that the product is free of internal defects and has performance meeting high standard requirements. For the product that passes the detection, precise cutting and vacuum packaging are performed to obtain the final high-performance aluminum-based filler metal. For the product that fails the detection, precise classification is performed and the product is returned to the corresponding process for adjustment or scrap processing.

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the preparation method proposed in the application obtains high-performance aluminum-based filler metal with accurate component content, uniform element distribution and good consistency through the synergistic effect of various process links. The preparation method proposed in the application has the advantages of short production cycle, energy saving and consumption reduction, stability and controllability, high preparation efficiency and low preparation cost, which helps to improve the market competitiveness of the material and meet the large-scale demand in the field of high-end precision manufacturing.

[0110] Example 10

[0111] Compared with example 1, the contents of silicon, copper and nano-reinforced phase are unchanged, and the contents of rare earth elements and trace elements are adjusted as follows: lanthanum 0.5wt%, cerium 0.8wt%, neodymium 0.7wt%, titanium 0.12wt%, zirconium 0.12wt%, boron 0.03wt%, vanadium 0.03wt%.

[0113] Compared with example 1, the contents of silicon, copper and nano-reinforced phase are unchanged, and the contents of rare earth elements and trace elements are adjusted as follows: lanthanum 0.5wt%, cerium 0.8wt%, neodymium 0.7wt%, titanium 0.12wt%, zirconium 0.12wt%, boron 0.03wt%, vanadium 0.03wt%.

[0114] Example 12

[0115] Compared with example 1, the contents of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium are all adjusted to 0.5wt%.

[0116] After testing, examples 10, 11 and 12 can all obtain high-performance aluminum-based filler metal, but the performance is not as good as example 1

[0117] Example 13

[0118] Compared with example 8, the total content of titanium and zirconium is unchanged at 0.28wt%, but the content ratio of titanium to zirconium is 1:0.6.

[0119] Example 14

[0120] Compared with example 8, the total content of titanium and zirconium is unchanged at 0.28wt%, but the content ratio of titanium to zirconium is 1:0.7.

[0121] Example 15

[0122] Compared with example 8, the total content of titanium and zirconium is unchanged at 0.28wt%, but the content ratio of titanium to zirconium is 1.5:1.

[0123] The mechanical properties of the products obtained in Comparative Example 8, Example 13, Example 14 and Example 15 are in the order of: Example 15 > Example 8 > Example 14 > Example 13, and the order of the corrosion resistance is consistent with the order of the mechanical properties. Obviously, the content ratio of titanium and zirconium has a greater influence on the mechanical properties of the brazing filler metal, which is closely related to the grain refinement and the construction of high-performance microstructure.

[0124] Comparative Example 1

[0125] Compared with Example 1, no rare earth element is added, the contents of silicon, copper, trace elements and nano-enhanced phase are consistent with those of Example 1, and the preparation method is also consistent with that of Example 1.

[0126] The yield strength of the obtained product is 220-230 MPa, the tensile strength is 270-280 MPa, the elongation is 12%-13%, the impact toughness is ≥40 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.07 mm / a. Obviously, the lack of rare earth elements is not conducive to the wettability, oxidation resistance and joint strength of the brazing filler metal, resulting in significant deterioration of the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the brazing filler metal.

[0127] Comparative Example 2

[0128] Compared with Example 1, no cerium is added in the rare earth element, the contents of silicon, copper, lanthanum, neodymium, trace elements and nano-enhanced phase are consistent with those of Example 1, and the preparation method is also consistent with that of Example 1.

[0129] The yield strength of the obtained product is 238-248 MPa, the tensile strength is 288-298 MPa, the elongation is 13.8%-14.8%, the impact toughness is ≥47 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.062 mm / a. Obviously, although the use of lanthanum and neodymium in the rare earth element is better than not adding any rare earth element, it does not reach the best state, and the joint addition of lanthanum, cerium and neodymium can achieve the best performance.

[0130] Comparative Example 3

[0131] Compared with Example 1, equal amounts of boron and vanadium are added in the trace elements, and no titanium and zirconium are added, and the rest including the preparation method are consistent with those of Example 1.

[0132] The yield strength of the obtained product is 230-240 MPa, the tensile strength is 280-290 MPa, the elongation is 13%-14%, the impact toughness is ≥45 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.06 mm / a.

[0133] Comparative Example 4

[0134] Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the addition of four trace elements has a significant influence on the mechanical properties, spreadability and corrosion resistance of the brazing filler metal. Moreover, titanium and zirconium have a particularly significant influence on the above properties, while boron and vanadium have a relatively small influence. This is probably related to the fact that titanium and zirconium, in a defined ratio, help to refine the grains of the brazing filler metal and enhance its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

[0135] The yield strength of the product obtained is 240-250 MPa, the tensile strength is 290-300 MPa, the elongation is 14%-15%, the impact toughness is ≥48 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.055 mm / a.

[0136] Comparative Example 5

[0137] Comparative Example 1, the same amount of vanadium, the same amount of titanium, the same amount of zirconium are added to the trace elements, and the rest, including the preparation method, are the same as in Example 1.

[0138] The yield strength of the product obtained is 238-248 MPa, the tensile strength is 288-298 MPa, the elongation is 13.8%-14.8%, the impact toughness is ≥47 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.062 mm / a.

[0139] Comparative Example 6

[0140] Comparative Example 1, no trace elements are added, and the rest, including the preparation method, are the same as in Example 1.

[0141] The yield strength of the product obtained is 220-224 MPa, the tensile strength is 260-265 MPa, the elongation is 12.2%-12.5%, the impact toughness is ≥43 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.062 mm / a.

[0142] Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the addition of four trace elements has a significant influence on the mechanical properties, spreadability and corrosion resistance of the brazing filler metal. Moreover, titanium and zirconium have a particularly significant influence on the above properties, while boron and vanadium have a relatively small influence. This is probably related to the fact that titanium and zirconium, in a defined ratio, help to refine the grains of the brazing filler metal and enhance its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.

[0143] Comparative Example 7

[0144] Comparative Example 1, the silicon content is adjusted to 3 wt%, and the copper content is adjusted to 10 wt%, and the rest, including the preparation method, are the same as in Example 1.

[0145] The yield strength of the product obtained is 210-220 MPa, the tensile strength is 260-270 MPa, the elongation is 11%-12%, the impact toughness is ≥35 J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance is ≤0.08 mm / a.

[0146] Comparative Example 8

[0147] Compared with Example 1, the copper content is adjusted to 10wt%, and the rest of the preparation method is consistent with Example 1.

[0148] The yield strength of the obtained product is 225-235MPa, the tensile strength is 275-285MPa, the elongation is 12.5%-13%, and the impact toughness is ≥42J / cm 2 , and the corrosion resistance performance is ≤0.068mm / a.

[0149] Comparing Comparative Example 7 and Comparative Example 8 with Example 1 can know that when the silicon and copper contents deviate from the reasonable range, the performance is significantly reduced, which further illustrates the key influence of the silicon and copper contents on the performance of the brazing filler metal.

[0150] In summary: the present application optimizes the types and proportions of each component in the aluminum-based brazing filler metal and cooperates through a scientifically designed preparation method to obtain a high-performance aluminum-based brazing filler metal with good comprehensive performance, which can meet the needs of high-end precision manufacturing, the product is lightweight, environmentally friendly and recyclable, the preparation method has low energy consumption, short preparation period, high efficiency and high repeatability, has strong market competitiveness, and is worthy of large-scale and industrialized application.
