Benefits of technology

The disclosed embodiments of this patent aim to improve upon existing methods and apparatuses by providing a production method for an aluminum bar that prevents damage caused by surface pressing using pressure rollers. Additionally, the patent aims to provide an aluminum bar produced by this method.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the aforementioned production line, since the bar will not be especially subjected to a surface treatment after the peeling step, damage occurred after the peeling step remain.
In this way, since a large force is acting on the contact point Wc, when a surface of either one of the bars W and W positioned adjacently at a position corresponding to the contact point Wc has a protruding damage which occurred in a previous step, the protruding damage cuts into the surface of the other bar W to cause a scratch by the force in the circumferential direction, resulting in new damage on the surface of the other bar W.
Therefore, it is not preferable since it is difficult to assuredly cut and remove the damage 2 remaining on the forging blank and there is an increased possibility that a poor appearance may occur on the final product after cutting.
The covering part in such a layer form is not preferable since there is a risk that lap defects such as minute cracks may occur.

example 1

[0091]The aforementioned cut aluminum alloy bar was subjected to a surface pressing process (straightening process) using a roll straightening machine similar to the machine shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B to obtain an aluminum alloy bar of Example 1. For the conditions of the straightening process, the roll angles Rα and Rβ (see FIG. 1A) were set to 14° (degrees) and 14° (degrees), the rolling load was set to 2.0 ton (2.0×103×9.80 N), and the roll rotational number was set to 1,200 rpm.

[0092]Further in Table 1, the pressing force corresponding to the rolling load is shown as a ratio when the straightness saturation point (straightening degree saturation point) at the rolling load of 0.5 ton (0.5×103×9.80 N) is “1”. Furthermore, the pressing points “Fa” to “Fd” in Table 1 show that they correspond to the pressing points “Fa” to “Fd” in the graph of FIG. 2, and Example 1 corresponds to the pressing point “Fa” in the graph of FIG. 2.

[0093]Further, when the load curve of the surface of th...

example 2

[0100]For a cut aluminum bar, the rolling load was set to 1.0 ton (1.0×103×9.80 N) (the pressing point corresponds to Fb of FIG. 2), and other than that, a surface pressing process (straightening process) was performed under the same pressing process conditions as the aforementioned Example 1 to obtain an aluminum bar of Example 2. The load curve parameter tan(Pθmin) of the aluminum bar was 0.38.

[0101]Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, also for the aluminum bar of Example 2, all evaluations were good after performing the same evaluations as above.

Abstract

A production method of an aluminum bar includes a surface pressing step of pressing a surface of an aluminum bar with pressure rollers. A pressing force of the pressure rollers in the surface processing step is set within a range of 1.5 Fc to 4.0 Fc, where, in a relationship between a pressing force of the pressure rollers to the aluminum bar and a straightness of the aluminum bar, when a boundary point at which a section where the straightness of the aluminum bar improves as the pressing force of the pressure rollers increases shifts to a section where the straightness does not change as the pressing force of the pressure rollers increases is a straightness saturation point, and the pressing force of the pressure rollers at the straightness saturation point is “Fc”.
