Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy manufacturing, and in particular to a thermomechanical treatment method for improving the comprehensive performance of 6xxx aluminum alloy coils containing Cu element and an aluminum alloy coil. Background Art
[0002] The lightweight of the battery pack can improve the energy density, and it is also an effective method for new energy vehicles to increase the cruising range. The battery pack bottom plate requires the material to have high strength and good stamping formability, adapt to processing technologies such as bending and SPR, have good corrosion resistance, and meet the design requirements of automotive safety and durability. The development and application of new high-strength aluminum alloy products play an important role in promoting the development of new energy vehicles.
[0003] 6xxx aluminum alloy has become the preferred material for the battery pack bottom plate due to its excellent extrusion performance. The copper content of 6xxx aluminum alloy is generally below 0.3%. On the basis of maintaining the good weldability, corrosion resistance and formability of 6xxx aluminum alloy, the strength and hardness of the alloy are significantly improved by adding copper element, which is suitable for application scenarios with higher performance requirements. However, the 6xxx aluminum alloy containing copper element in the traditional process has certain limitations: in order to ensure the mechanical strength, certain corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, the process flow is often complex, the production cycle is long, the efficiency is low, and the energy consumption is high. A preparation method of a homogenized and heat-separated 6xxx aluminum alloy coil with the application number of CN202210878837.0 cannot meet the preparation of 6xxx high-strength aluminum alloy with a higher copper content, and requires two cold rolling processes and intermediate annealing, with a long process cycle and high energy consumption. This method mainly considers the optimization of mechanical properties before baking, and there are limitations in the application under high-strength state after baking.
[0004] Based on this, it is expected to explore a thermomechanical treatment method for improving the comprehensive performance of 6xxx aluminum alloy coils containing Cu element, which can improve the microstructure and mechanical properties, maintain excellent mechanical properties while adding a higher content of copper element, reduce material anisotropy, and at the same time reduce energy consumption and improve production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The obtained product has a tensile strength ≥ 400 MPa, a yield strength ≥ 350 MPa, an elongation ≥ 12%, and the 90° bending of the 1.5T bending radius in the transverse and longitudinal directions does not crack. At the same time, it reduces energy consumption and improves production efficiency. The specific technical solutions are as follows: A thermomechanical treatment method for improving the comprehensive performance of 6xxx aluminum alloy coils containing Cu element, comprising the following steps: S1. Casting: The aluminum alloy raw materials are cast to obtain ingots. S2. Homogenization heat treatment: The ingots obtained in step S1 are cut at both ends, milled on the surface, and then subjected to homogenization heat treatment to obtain homogenized heat-treated ingots. S3. Gradient cooling rolling: The homogenized heat-treated ingots obtained in step S2 are directly subjected to gradient cooling rolling, controlling the cooling rate after each pass of rolling to be 20 - 50 °C / min, the final rolling temperature < 200 °C, the total rolling reduction rate > 90%, and the number of rolling passes < 20 to obtain gradient cooling rolled coils. S4. Solution quenching: The gradient cooling rolled coils obtained in step S3 are subjected to solution quenching to obtain solution quenched coils. S5. Cold rolling: The solution quenched coils obtained in step S4 are subjected to cold rolling to obtain cold rolled coils. S6. Aging treatment: The cold rolled coils obtained in step S5 are subjected to aging treatment to obtain finished aluminum alloy coils. The mass percentages of the chemical components of the aluminum alloy are as follows: Si = 0.6 - 1.5%, Fe ≤ 0.3%, Cu = 0.4 - 1.2%, Mn = 0.4 - 0.8%, Mg = 0.6 - 1.5%, Cr ≤ 0.25%, Zn ≤ 0.3%, Ti ≤ 0.1%, and the balance is Al and unavoidable impurity elements.
[0006] Preferably, the holding temperature of the homogenization heat treatment is 530 - 560 °C, and the holding time is 6 - 12 h.
[0007] Preferably, the holding temperature of the solution quenching is 540 - 570 °C, and the holding time is 0.2 - 1 h.

[0009] Preferably, the aging treatment temperature is 190 - 230 °C, and the holding time is 3 - 10 h.
[0010] Preferably, in the solution quenching step, the cooling rate > 50 °C / s.
[0011] The present invention also provides a 6xxx aluminum alloy coil containing Cu element prepared by the above method.
[0012] The properties of the 6xxx aluminum alloy coil containing Cu element of the present invention meet: Tensile strength ≥ 400 MPa, yield strength ≥ 350 MPa, elongation ≥ 12%, and no cracking occurs during 90° bending with a bending radius of 1.5T in both transverse and longitudinal directions.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. A thermomechanical treatment method for improving the comprehensive properties of 6xxx aluminum alloy coils containing Cu element provided by the present invention includes the following processes: melting and casting, homogenization heat treatment, gradient cooling rolling, solution quenching, cold rolling at low temperature, and aging treatment. The production process is optimized, and the average size of dispersed phases such as Al2Cu2Mn3 is controlled to be <1 μm, and the average size of precipitation phases such as β (Mg2Si), S (Al2CuMg), Q (Al5Cu2Mg8Si6), and θ (Al2Cu) is <500 nm. The second phases are uniformly distributed in the crystal grains and grain boundaries. It improves the microstructure and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy, maintains excellent mechanical properties while adding a relatively high content of copper element, improves the mechanical strength and elongation of the product, reduces the anisotropy of the material, and at the same time shortens the process steps, without annealing and without secondary cold rolling, reducing energy consumption and improving production efficiency.
[0014] 2. Through the combination of homogenization treatment and gradient cooling rolling in the present invention, the low-melting-point elements in the primary phase are effectively redissolved, the atomic solid solubility is controlled, and the growth of dispersed phases is avoided. The gradient cooling rolling process effectively breaks the second phases and promotes redissolution, making the distribution of precipitation phases more uniform during the subsequent solution quenching and aging processes. After gradient cooling rolling, it enters the solution quenching step without annealing. After solution quenching, cold rolling at low temperature is carried out, effectively increasing the matrix energy storage and increasing lattice defects such as dislocations, which is beneficial to uniformly and rapidly nucleate during the low-temperature and short-time aging process and grow to obtain a certain number and size of precipitation phases.
