Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of metal material processing, in particular to a manufacturing method of Al-Cu series aluminum alloy bright welding wire. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development and upgrading of core key fields such as rail transit, new energy, automobiles, ships, aerospace, etc., the requirements for light weight and integration are continuously improved, and aluminum alloy profiles and plates have gradually replaced steel plates or stainless steel plates, and the application of aluminum alloy materials has become an inevitable trend. At the same time, with the rapid advancement of modern production technology, aluminum alloy automatic welding is rapidly replacing traditional manual welding due to its significant advantages, and the application breadth and depth continue to expand, especially for super-long aluminum alloy profiles, which need to use advanced automatic welding. This technical iteration puts forward unprecedented stringent requirements on the core consumable aluminum alloy welding wire: the aluminum alloy welding wire has a super-long length, cannot be blocked or broken during the welding process, and ensures the high-quality quality of the welding seam after welding.

[0003] However, the traditional welding wire blank preparation process supporting this high-quality demand is facing severe challenges. There are two traditional welding wire production methods: one is continuous casting and rolling method: this process can produce wire blanks with acceptable overall consistency, but the alloy grade adaptability is limited, and the stability of the melt quality is poor. The more critical defect is in the process itself. In the solidification and subsequent rolling process of the molten metal, the surface is easy to roll in the unavoidable oxide film, and form an oxide black skin with strong adhesion and impurities. These surface defects are often difficult to eliminate in the subsequent mechanical scraping process, and finally significantly affect the welding wire quality, becoming a potential threat to the stable operation of automatic welding. The second is the multi-hole extrusion method: the advantage of this method is that it can use the strong pressure of the mold extrusion to leave the defects such as loose, inclusion, segregation, etc. that may exist in the material in the pressure residue and cut off, so as to obtain high-quality wire blanks with smooth surface. The disadvantage is that the wire blanks can only be produced continuously after being welded in the subsequent production, and the wire blanks at the welding position are not completely consistent in organization, which affects the performance of the welding wire at the welding position. The wire blanks at the welding position will appear broken in the subsequent production process, which not only affects the welding wire production efficiency, but also affects the performance of the welding wire at the welding position after re-welding, thereby increasing the phenomena such as broken wire, blocked wire, black smoke, etc. during the use of the welding wire.

[0004] The prior art has studied the problem of pure wire rod. For example, the patent with publication number CN101733591B proposes to produce wire rod by extrusion method, which solves the problem of surface oxidation film, inclusion, segregation and other defects of wire rod compared with continuous casting and rolling wire rod. However, the wire rod is multiple, and subsequent multi-point welding is needed to complete continuous production, which cannot guarantee the consistency of the overall organization of the welding wire. The patent with publication number CN101722381A proposes to produce Φ10-Φ14 wire rod by 2000T extrusion method, which solves the problem of surface oxidation film, inclusion, segregation and other defects of wire rod. The extrusion tool is 4 holes, each weighing 8-9 kg, and subsequent multi-point welding is needed to complete continuous production, which cannot guarantee the consistency of the overall organization performance of the welding wire. In summary, it is of great significance to provide a welding wire without welding joint and ensuring the internal quality of the welding wire. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an Al-Cu aluminum alloy bright welding wire production method in view of the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0101] The appearance of the aluminum alloy rod after hot rolling in the embodiment is shown in Figure 4 .

[0102] Example 3

[0103] The difference between the embodiment and example 1 is that the content of Sc is 0.06wt%, and other operations are the same as those in example 1.

[0104] The difference between the embodiment and example 1 is that the content of Sc is 0.10wt%, and other operations are the same as those in example 1.

[0105] The metallographic photos of the cast rods in examples 1-4 are shown in (a), (b), (c) and (d) in Figure 3 respectively.

[0106] As can be seen from Figure 3 , through 100 times of metallographic structure comparison, within a certain range, with the increase of the content of the rare earth element Sc, the grain size of the cast rod is gradually refined.

[0107] Comparative example 1

[0108] The difference between the comparative example and example 2 is that no Sc element is added, and other operations are the same as those in example 2. The metallographic photo of the cast rod in the comparative example is shown in Figure 1 ; and the appearance of the aluminum alloy rod after hot rolling in the comparative example is shown in Figure 5 .

[0109] As can be seen from Figure 1 and Figure 2 , through 200 times of metallographic structure comparison, the grain size of the rare earth Sc added in example 1 is obviously refined.

[0110] As can be seen from Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the aluminum alloy rod in example 2 is added with the Sc element, and after extrusion and hot rolling, the surface of the wire blank is smooth and clean without crack defects; and the aluminum alloy rod in comparative example 1 is not added with the Sc element, and after extrusion and hot rolling, small crack defects occasionally appear on the surface of the wire blank.

[0111] Comparative example 2

[0112] The difference between the present comparative example and Example 2 is that no primary annealing is performed after hot rolling, and cold rolling is directly performed, and other operations are the same as those in Example 2.

[0113] Comparative Example 3

[0114] The difference between the present comparative example and Example 2 is that steps (9) and (10) are not included, and other operations are the same as those in Example 2.

[0115] The performance parameters of the welding wires prepared in the above examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.

[0116] Table 1

[0117]

[0118] As can be seen from Table 1, relative to the comparative examples, the welding wire obtained by adding Sc element in the alloy and optimizing the manufacturing process of the welding wire has high strength and excellent processing performance.

[0119] Comparative Example 1 does not add Sc, and the strength and plasticity of the welding wire are significantly reduced. Because Sc can form Al3Sc nanoparticles, inhibit recrystallization and refine grains, the strength and elongation are improved. The alloy without Sc is prone to crack during hot rolling, and the elongation is also significantly reduced.

[0120] In Comparative Example 2, hot rolling is not followed by annealing, and cold rolling is directly performed, which results in that the residual stress before cold rolling is not eliminated, and the elongation is greatly reduced.

[0121] Comparative Example 3 does not perform secondary annealing and secondary cold rolling, which reduces the opportunity for primary recrystallization, and the microstructure uniformity is poor, and the strength and elongation are lower than those in Example 2.

[0122] The grain fineness of the casting bars in Examples 1-4 is shown in Table 2.

[0123] Table 2

[0124]

[0125] As can be seen from the test results in Table 2, when the addition amount of Sc is 0.11% of the total mass of raw materials, the average particle size of the alloy is 143.83 μm; when the addition amount of Sc is 0.18% of the total mass of raw materials, the average particle size of the alloy is 124.75 μm; when the addition amount of Sc is 0.06% of the total mass of raw materials, the average particle size of the alloy is 161.07 μm; and when the addition amount of Sc is 0.10% of the total mass of raw materials, the average particle size of the alloy is 150.49 μm. In summary, within a certain range, as the content of rare earth element Sc increases, the grain size of the casting bar decreases.
