Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bumper materials, and particularly relates to a high-strength aluminum alloy profile for a bumper beam and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The vehicle bumper beam is a key component of the vehicle collision system. With the continuous improvement of the safety performance requirements of the collision system in the vehicle industry and the increasing requirements for vehicle lightweighting, aluminum alloy extruded profiles have become the preferred materials for vehicle bumper beams.

[0003] Currently, the strength of conventional 6-series aluminum materials is relatively low. Although 7-series high-strength aluminum materials have excellent lightweighting effects, their material toughness is poor. There are also some technologies that have developed aluminum alloys with high strength and excellent toughness. For example, CN118086732A discloses an aluminum profile, a preparation method thereof, and an application. The components of the aluminum profile include Mg: 0.8 - 1.2%; Si: 0.7 - 1%; Cu: 0.3 - 0.7%; Mn: 0.4 - 0.8%; Cr + V: 0.1 - 0.3%; rare earth elements 0.01 - 0.1%; Fe: ≤0.3%; the balance is Al and unavoidable impurities. This aluminum profile ensures the high toughness of the aluminum profile by adding V and rare earth elements, and the control of elements such as Mg, Si, and Cu ensures high strength. However, it is necessary to strictly control the size and area of Mg2Si particles that are not incorporated into the aluminum profile, which increases the difficulty for the production process and related characterization. CN110055442A discloses an aluminum alloy profile for producing a high-strength ultra-light all-aluminum vehicle frame and a preparation method thereof. The aluminum alloy profile includes the following components in weight percentages: Si: 0.65 - 0.75%, Fe: 0.17 - 0.22%, Cu: 0.17 - 0.22%, Mn: 0.08 - 0.12%, Mg: 0.85 - 0.95%, Cr: 0.06 - 0.11%, B: 0.03 - 0.06%, Mo: 0.015 - 0.025%, Zn: 0.03 - 0.05%, Ti: 0.03 - 0.05%, and the balance is aluminum and unavoidable impurities. Through the synergistic effect of B, Mo with Mn, Cr, and Ti in the formula, the surface quality and welding quality of the aluminum alloy product are improved; the synergistic effect of Mo with Mg and Mo with Al improves the surface quality and impact resistance of the aluminum alloy product. However, coarse borides may segregate at the grain boundaries, becoming stress concentration points and reducing toughness.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an aluminum alloy profile with high strength, excellent toughness, and a simple preparation process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a high-strength aluminum alloy profile for a bumper beam, which comprises, by mass percentage: Si: 0.42% - 0.62%; Fe: 0.15% - 0.30%; Cu: 0.18% - 0.35%; Mn: ≤0.15%; Mg: 0.87% - 1.07%; Cr: 0.06% - 0.24%; Zn: ≤0.10%; Ti: 0.02% - 0.14%; rare earth of La series: 0.05% - 0.15%; Ge: 0.02% - 0.05%; the balance is Al and unavoidable impurities.

[0006] The aluminum alloy profile of the present invention is based on the 6-series aluminum alloy 6061. The main elements are Mg and Si, followed by Cu, and then Mn, Cr and Ti. The Mg2Si strengthening phase formed by Mg and Si is crucial for strength. Cu can increase the heat treatment strengthening effect, inhibit the extrusion effect, and at the same time form the Cu2Mg8Si6Al5 phase, further improving the strength. For the trace elements Mn, Cr and Ti, Mn and Cr can improve the strength, improve the corrosion resistance, and at the same time inhibit recrystallization and refine the grains; Ti can refine the grains to a certain extent and also form an alloy with Al, playing a role in refining the casting structure and the weld structure. Fe is easy to form coarse AlFeSi phases with Si and Mn, reducing plasticity and corrosion resistance. Generally, it is considered to have an inhibitory effect on the performance of aluminum alloys, and the content needs to be strictly controlled, and the total content of Mn and Fe needs to be considered. Zn has little effect on strength, but excessive amount will deteriorate the comprehensive performance, and the content also needs to be controlled. Increasing the content of Mg and Si can improve the tensile strength, but will reduce the elongation. The ratio of Mg and Si (Mg / Si ratio) is crucial for the formation of the strengthening phase. When the ratio reaches about 1.73, enough Mg2Si phase can be formed. If Si is excessive, excess Si phase or AlMnSi phase may be formed, and the strengthening effect of these phases is not as good as that of Mg2Si, thus affecting the performance. On the basis of optimizing the content of elements such as Zn and Fe, the present invention adds a small amount of Ge. Ge can replace part of Si, forming a composite phase with higher density and better coherency with the matrix compared with Si, thus enhancing the strength of the aluminum alloy.

[0007] Sc and Al can form nano-scale Al3Sc precipitation phases, refining the strength of the alloy and improving the toughness. Some studies have shown that the tensile strength of an aluminum alloy containing 0.1% Sc can reach 400 MPa, and the elongation rate remains above 18%. However, the price of Sc is high, and based on different aluminum alloy formulations, the role of Sc is also difficult to predict. On the basis of the basic aluminum alloy formulation of the present invention, optimizing the mass ratio of Sc and Ge can not only reduce the dosage of Sc, but also significantly improve the performance of the aluminum alloy.

[0008] Furthermore, the high-strength aluminum alloy profile for the anti-collision beam includes 0.01% - 0.03% of Sc in addition to Al and inevitable impurities.

[0009] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the Sc and Ge is 1:2 - 3.

[0010] It should be noted that the La series of rare earths include La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, etc., and their main functions in aluminum alloys are to refine grains, purify the melt, and neutralize impurities. The type does not need to be strictly limited, and one or more of them can be freely selected. Exemplarily, one of La and Ce can be selected.

[0011] The present invention also provides a preparation method for the above-mentioned high-strength aluminum alloy profile for the anti-collision beam, including: After melting the aluminum ingot, add Mn and Cr, then add other raw materials except rare earths, and finally add the aluminum rare earth alloy for smelting to obtain the aluminum alloy melt; Filter the aluminum alloy melt to obtain the alloy liquid to be used; Cast the alloy liquid to be used into a blank; Perform homogenization, extrusion forming, heat treatment, aging treatment, and stretch leveling on the blank in sequence to obtain the high-strength aluminum alloy profile for the anti-collision beam.

[0012] Furthermore, the temperature of the smelting is 650 - 800 °C; The homogenization is carried out at 530 - 580 °C for 6 - 8 h; The temperature of the heat treatment is 500 - 560 °C.

[0013] Furthermore, the filtration is carried out using a double-stage ceramic filter plate, and the mesh numbers of the double-stage ceramic filter plate are 30 - 40 meshes and 50 - 60 meshes respectively.

[0014] Furthermore, when performing extrusion forming, after heating the homogenized blank to 500 - 560 °C at a temperature gradient of 6 - 8 °C / min, extrude it with an extrusion die at 460 - 500 °C at an extrusion speed of 4 - 6 m / min.

[0015] Furthermore, the aging treatment is carried out at 185 ± 5 °C for 120 - 240 min.

[0016] Furthermore, the stretch amount of the stretch leveling is 1% - 5%.

[0017] Furthermore, before casting the alloy liquid to be used into a blank, it is also left standing at 660 - 770 °C for 0.5 - 2 h.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention optimizes the components of the 6-series aluminum alloy, reduces the contents of Fe and Zn, and introduces a small amount of Ge, which can replace part of Si and form a composite phase with higher density and better coherence with the matrix than Si, thereby improving the strength of the aluminum alloy. In addition, Sc is also introduced, and Sc and Ge have a good synergistic effect with other elements, significantly improving the strength and toughness of the aluminum alloy. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Comparative Example 1 The difference compared with Example 1 is that: the aluminum alloy profile does not contain Ge.

[0026] Comparative Example 2 The difference compared with Example 1 is that: the Ge content in the aluminum alloy profile is 0.015%.

[0027] Comparative Example 3 The difference compared with Example 1 is that: the Ge content in the aluminum alloy profile is 0.06%.

[0028] Comparative Example 4 The difference compared with Example 1 is that the aluminum alloy profile does not contain Ge but contains 0.05% of Sc.

[0029] Comparative Example 5 The difference compared with Example 1 is that the aluminum alloy profile does not contain Ge but contains 0.1% of Sc.

[0030] Comparative Example 6 The difference compared with Example 2 is that the Sc content in the aluminum alloy profile is 0.008%.

[0031] Comparative Example 7 The difference compared with Example 2 is that the Sc content in the aluminum alloy profile is 0.02%.

[0032] Test Example With reference to the standard GB / T228.1-2021 "Metallic materials - Tensile testing - Part 1: Method of test at room temperature", the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the aluminum alloy profiles of the examples and comparative examples were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0033] Table 1 Tensile property test results of aluminum alloy profiles

[0034] It can be seen from the test results in Table 1 that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, Example 1 has higher tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. Comparative Example 1 did not add Ge, and the Ge contents in the aluminum alloy profiles of Comparative Example 2, Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 were 0.015%, 0.03% and 0.06% respectively. This is because Ge, as an element in the same group as Si, appropriate content of Ge can replace part of Si, forming a composite phase with higher density and better coherency with the matrix than Si, thus enhancing the strength of the aluminum alloy. The role of less Ge is not strong and the improvement is not obvious; while more Ge will form segregation phases, resulting in a decrease in the elongation of the aluminum alloy profile. Compared with Example 1, Examples 2 to 4 and Comparative Examples 5 to 7 have higher tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. This is because Sc and Al can form nano-scale Al3Sc precipitation phases, refining the strength of the alloy. The solubility of Sc is also relatively low, having the effects of solid solution strengthening and inhibiting recrystallization. Comparative Example 5 without Ge but with a Sc content of 0.1% also shows good performance, but it is inferior to Example 3; and the improvement of Comparative Example 4 without Ge but with a Sc content of 0.1% is not obvious, which indicates that adding Sc alone requires a certain content to have good effects. These results also illustrate that Ge and Sc have a certain synergistic effect. The composite phase formed by Ge replacing part of Si forms a more stable structure with the Al3Sc precipitation phase, and optimizing the contents of Ge and Sc can further optimize the structure.

[0035] The yield strengths of the aluminum alloy profiles in the examples and comparative examples were also tested after heat preservation at 200 °C for 1 h, and the retention rates of the yield strengths before and after heat preservation were calculated. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0036] Table 2 Retention Rate of Yield Strength

[0037] It can also be seen from the results in Table 2 that Example 3 of the present invention has the best heat resistance.

[0038] The aluminum alloy profiles with the same cross-section in the examples and comparative examples were tested for the absorbed energy during the three-point bending test. The greater the absorbed energy of the material per unit wall thickness, the better the lightweight and impact resistance effects of the aluminum alloy profile. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0039] Table 3 Results of Absorbed Energy

[0040] It can also be seen from the results in Table 3 that the preferred examples of the present invention have the highest absorbed energy, indicating that the lightweight and impact resistance effects are better per unit volume.

[0041] In summary, the present invention optimizes the composition of the 6-series aluminum alloy, reduces the contents of Fe and Zn, and introduces a small amount of Ge. Ge can replace part of Si to form a composite phase with a higher density and better coherency with the matrix compared to Si, thereby improving the strength of the aluminum alloy. In addition, Sc is also introduced, and Sc and Ge play a good synergistic role with other elements, significantly improving the strength and toughness of the aluminum alloy.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
