Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing an aluminum alloy, in particular to a metal injection molding method for an Al-Si-Mg series aluminum alloy. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum is the most abundant element in the earth's crust, second only to oxygen and silicon, and its relative density is only 2.7g / cm -3 , has high ductility, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and can react with oxygen in the air to form a corrosion-resistant oxide film, forming a good protective effect. Nowadays, the demand for lightweight development of products is increasing. Aluminum alloys with low density and high specific strength after alloying are used as the preferred metal for lightweight solutions and have been widely used in manufacturing industries such as aircraft, automobiles, trains and ships.
[0003] Al-Si-Mg alloys not only have excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and castability, but also due to the presence of Mg element, Al-Si-Mg alloys can obtain dispersed Mg2Si phase after heat treatment, which plays a strengthening role. Therefore, this series of aluminum alloys also have higher specific strength and better comprehensive mechanical properties, and are relatively mature lightweight materials.
[0004] Aluminum has a strong affinity for oxygen, especially powder. When aluminum powder is exposed to the air, a nano-scale Al2O3 film will soon form on the surface. This film has a strong insulating effect and can isolate the matrix from the outside world, so aluminum alloys often have strong corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. However, the presence of the surface oxide film also brings difficulties to the preparation. The raw materials need to remove the oxide film before they can effectively contact and form a metallurgical bond. At present, the main process methods to solve this problem are casting, warm pressing, high-speed pressing and powder forging. Except for casting, these other methods are without exception to apply a large pressure to deform the powder, physically break the oxide film, and make the powder effectively contact. Metal injection molding (MIM) cannot provide the metallurgical effect of casting and the pressure required to break the oxide film during the forming process, so there are great difficulties in preparing aluminum alloys using the MIM method. The patent "A method for preparing high-performance aluminum alloy using powder injection molding technology" (CN107790729B) believes that in addition to this problem, there are two other difficulties: First, due to the high proportion of organic binder in the injection molded blank, the internal porosity of the blank after degreasing is much larger than that of the pressed blank; second, aluminum powder has the characteristic of hygroscopicity, which will react with oxygen radicals and water vapor, further increasing the thickness of the oxide film on the surface of the powder, and will also cause powder agglomeration, resulting in uneven feeding composition. As a result, it is very difficult to apply MIM technology to aluminum alloy production. At present, there are few achievements in this regard. However, compared with traditional casting and powder metallurgy technology, MIM has great advantages in the preparation of high-performance complex structural parts. The prepared parts have uniform organization, high density, high shape accuracy, good surface finish, and are near-net forming technology, which is efficient and low cost in mass production. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, an Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloy injection molding method is provided. On the basis of MIM technology, technical means such as powder pretreatment and green embryo hot isostatic pressing are introduced to prepare aluminum alloy products with excellent performance and stable quality, further promoting the application of MIM aluminum alloy in aerospace, automotive industry, electronic information and other fields.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] The invention discloses a metal injection molding method for an Al-Si-Mg series aluminum alloy.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the binder is composed of the following components by mass percentage:
[0014]
[0015] According to a preferred embodiment, in the feed material, the volume ratio of the aluminum alloy powder raw material to the binder is 66-70%:30-34%; the mixing process is as follows: the mixing temperature is 150-160° C., and the mixing time is 1-5 hours.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the injection molding process is as follows: mold temperature is 60-80° C., injection temperature is 160-190° C., and injection pressure is 110 MPa-130 MPa.
[0017] The preferred solution is that the first thermal degreasing process is: first vacuumizing, then heating, and the vacuum degree is less than or equal to 10 -3 Pa, heat up to 250-280°C at 1-5°C / min, keep warm for 60-120min and then cool with the furnace.

[0021] Principles and advantages
[0022] The present invention utilizes metal injection molding technology and simultaneously introduces technical means such as powder pretreatment and green embryo hot isostatic pressing to prepare Al-Si-Mg series aluminum alloys with performance comparable to that of casting alloys, thereby providing a method for preparing high-quality aluminum alloy products.
[0023] The present invention adds a relatively high content of Mg in the form of Al-50Mg, and has two purposes: first, an oxide film exists on the surface of the aluminum-containing powder raw material, which hinders sintering. Mg is the main component for breaking the oxide film. A sufficient Mg content ensures the film breaking effect, and the Al-50Mg component is located near the eutectic point component of the aluminum-magnesium binary phase diagram, which is conducive to the formation of an aluminum-magnesium eutectic liquid phase and accelerates the film breaking; second, the Mg element reacts with the Si element to generate a strengthening phase Mg2Si. After breaking the Al2O3 film to form Al-Mg oxide, the Mg content is still sufficient to react with Si to generate a strengthening phase, thereby ensuring good mechanical properties after heat treatment.
[0024] The binder components used in the present invention are palm wax (CW), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), random polypropylene (APP) and stearic acid (SA). The selected binder components are not easy to absorb moisture and do not react with powders. After mixing, they can form an effective package to prevent the metal powder from increasing the thickness of the oxide film due to moisture absorption. Among the components, CW has a low melting point and a fast decomposition rate at about 250°C. It can be quickly removed at a relatively low temperature. At the same time, the viscosity is relatively small in the melted state, which can reduce the viscosity and improve the fluidity of the feed. In order to prevent the problem of deformation caused by the excessive removal of a single component during the second degreasing, polymers with different decomposition temperatures are selected as binder support components after CW is removed, and HDPE and APP are selected as supports after CW is removed to maintain the shape and strength of the green body. APP and HDPE have poor compatibility. In order to prevent uneven mixing, a small amount of EVA is selected to be added as a compatibilizer to improve the uniformity of the feed and prevent powder agglomeration. Stearic acid is used as a surfactant. Since catalytic degreasing can easily aggravate moisture absorption and increase the thickness of the oxide film, and solvent degreasing is time-consuming and the green embryo is easily deformed, the present invention adopts two thermal degreasing methods under a vacuum environment to complete the removal of the binder, and pre-dries and disperses the powder before forming, effectively solving the problem that aluminum alloy powder is easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate, resulting in uneven mixing and thickening of the oxide film.
[0025] The present invention introduces hot isostatic pressing technology after the first hot debinding of the product to ensure uniform force on all parts of the product, more consistent density of the blank at all parts, and make up for the density reduced due to low injection pressure, so that the structure after sintering is more uniform and dense, further ensuring the product size accuracy and sintering quality.
[0026] The product prepared by the present invention has higher performance, with tensile strength of ≥240MPa, elongation of ≥1.5%, and density of ≥95%, which is comparable to the strength of aluminum alloys with similar components prepared by a casting method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
