embodiment 1

[0019]I. Fusion Casting Process

[0020]1. Material Proportioning

[0021]5100 kg aluminum ingot (contains 0.07% Si and 0.13% Fe), 40.4 kg Al—Fe alloy (contains 22% Fe), 5.6 kg rare earth alloy (contains 10% rare earth elements), 8.8 kg B—Al alloy (contains 3.5% B), and 2.3 kg refining agent (23% Na3Al.F6+47% KCl+30% NaCl).

[0022]2. Feeding Method

[0023]During material feeding, feed the Al—Fe alloy into the cupola furnace in batches evenly with the aluminum ingots, to ensure the components can be distributed evenly as far as possible.

[0024]3. Heat Preservation Process

[0025]When the aluminum alloy liquid flows into the holding furnace, control the furnace temperature at 710˜750° C. ; when rare earth-Al alloy and B—Al alloy are added into the aluminum alloy liquid, the furnace temperature is increased to 720˜760° C., and not higher than 760° C. Here, increasing the temperature is favorable for melting of the rare earth-Al alloy and B˜Al alloy, and thereby the treatment effect of rare earth el...

Abstract

A high-elongation rate aluminum alloy material and preparation method thereof. The high-elongation aluminum alloy material contains, in weight percentage, 0.30-1.20% of iron, 0.03-0.10% of silicon, 0.01-0.30% of rare earth elements, namely cerium and lanthanum, and the remaining aluminum and inevitable impurities. The aluminum alloy is made from materials through a fusion casting process and a half-annealing treatment. An aluminum alloy conductor made thereof has a high-elongation rate and good safety and stability in use.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention pertains to the field of nonferrous metal materials, in particular to an aluminum alloy material with high elongation for cables and a preparation method for the same.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Presently, most wires and cables employ copper as the conductor. However, owing to the rare copper resource, high price of copper material, and high installation cost of copper cables, the development of wires and cables is limited. Due to the fact of abundant aluminum resource and low cost of aluminum material, it will be a trend to replace copper with aluminum as the conductor for wires and cables.DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONTechnical Problem[0003]However, if conventional EC-aluminum is used as conductor to replace copper, the elongation, flexibility, and creep resistance of wires and cables are poor, and the safety and stability of use are unsatisfactory. Therefore, replacing copper with conventional EC-aluminum as conductor can not m...
