Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy processing, and particularly relates to an aluminum alloy plate for engraving and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Engraved aluminum plates are widely used in furniture and home decoration due to their advantages such as light weight, high rigidity, good weather resistance and welding performance, excellent anti-pollution performance, and a wide range of color options. The commonly used aluminum alloys for engraved plates are Series 1 (such as 1100-H24 state), Series 3 (such as 3003-H24 state), and Series 5 (such as 5052-H112 state). However, the strength of 1100 aluminum alloy is low, the product service life is short, and the application range is limited; the elongation is low, so the formability is poor, and it is easy to deform and crack. For 3003 aluminum alloy and 5052 aluminum alloy, although the strength performance is improved, the elongation is still low. The low elongation makes the stamping and bending properties of the material poor, which is not conducive to the forming process of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the alloy composition of the existing engraved aluminum plates to improve their elongation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Aiming at the technical problems of low strength and low elongation of the existing engraved aluminum plates, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy plate for engraving. By adjusting the contents of silicon, manganese, and magnesium components, both the high strength performance of the aluminum alloy plate is ensured and the elongation is improved.

[0004] The second purpose of the present invention is to provide a production method of an aluminum alloy plate for engraving. Using process waste as raw materials, by adjusting the refining and filtering processes of the aluminum liquid, impurities and dross in the aluminum liquid are ensured to be removed, and the purity of the aluminum liquid is guaranteed; at the same time, the casting process is adjusted to ensure normal starting casting and eliminate defects such as aluminum leakage and cracks that cause casting failure.

[0005] To achieve the above purposes, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides an aluminum alloy plate for engraving, which is processed from the following chemical components by mass percentage: Si 0.6 - 1.6%, Fe ≤ 0.7%, Cu 0.1 - 0.5%, Mn 0.6 - 1.2%, Mg 1.0 - 1.3%, Cr ≤ 0.05%, Zn ≤ 0.2%, Ti ≤ 0.05%, and the balance is Al. For the aluminum alloy plate for engraving of the present invention, by adjusting the contents of silicon, manganese, and magnesium components, the tensile strength of the H112 state aluminum alloy plate can reach 180 Mpa, and the elongation can reach ≥ 16% (2 - 3 times the elongation of the existing engraved plate). Both the high strength performance required for the product is ensured and the elongation is improved, which helps to improve the formability and bending performance of the product.

The casting conditions are as follows: The casting temperature is 700 - 720 °C, the cooling water flow rate is 100 - 280 m 3 / h, and the casting speed is 40 - 46 mm / min; When the length of the cast flat ingot is greater than 80 mm, adjust to the normal casting process. The casting conditions are as follows: The casting temperature is 700 - 730 °C, the cooling water flow rate is 200 - 300 m 3 / h, and the casting speed is 45 - 50 mm / min.

[0013] f. Milling: Mill the aluminum alloy flat ingot. The single - side milling amount of the large surface is 8 - 12 mm, and the single - side milling amount of the small side is 5 - 8 mm.

[0014] g. Homogenization heat treatment: Place the milled aluminum alloy flat ingot in a heating furnace for homogenization treatment. Control the heat treatment temperature at 490 - 510 °C, and the holding time is 4 - 6 h.

[0015] h. Rough rolling: Rough roll the aluminum alloy flat ingot with an out - of - furnace temperature of 455 - 470 °C after heat treatment through 21 - 25 passes to roll it into an aluminum plate with a thickness of 35 mm.

[0016] i. Finish rolling: Roll the aluminum plate after rough rolling through 3 passes to roll it into an aluminum plate with a thickness of 7 - 10 mm. The entry rolling temperature is 405 - 415 °C, and the exit rolling temperature is 310 - 325 °C.

[0017] j. Packaging: After hot rolling, the aluminum plate is coiled into an aluminum coil by a coiler and packaged by transverse shearing and slicing.

[0018] In a technical solution, the process waste used in the present invention is the head and tail waste or edge waste cut off during the production of 4017 aluminum alloy plates, 5052 aluminum alloy plates and 5083 aluminum alloy plates. The addition ratio of the head and tail waste or edge waste cut off during the production of the three aluminum alloy plates is 50-60%, 35-45% and 2-8%. The components in the head and tail waste or edge waste cut off during the production of the used 5052 aluminum alloy plate are: Si≤0.25%, Fe≤0.40%, Cu≤0.1%, Mn≤0.1%, Mg 2.2-2.8%, Cr 0.15-0.35%, Zn≤0.10%, Ti≤0.05%, and the balance is Al; the components in the head and tail waste or edge waste cut off during the production of the used 4017 aluminum alloy plate are: Si 0.6-1.6%, Fe 0.4-0.7%, Cu 0.1-0.5%, Mn 0.6-1.2%, Mg 0.1-0.5%, Cr≤0.05%, Zn≤0.2%, Ti≤0.05%, and the balance is Al; the components in the head and tail waste or edge waste cut off during the production of the used 5083 aluminum alloy plate are Si≤0.4%, Fe≤0.4%, Cu≤0.1%, Mn 0.4-1.0%, Mg 4-4.9%, Cr 0.05-0.25%, Zn≤0.25%, Ti≤0.15%, and the balance is Al.

[0019] In a technical solution, the precision of the primary filtration described in step d is 40 ppi, and the precision of the secondary filtration is 50 ppi.

[0020] In a technical solution, the online degassing described in step d uses high-purity argon. The rotation speed of the rotating nozzle of the degassing box is 300-400 r / min. After online degassing, the hydrogen content in every 100 g of aluminum alloy liquid is controlled to be ≤0.15 ml.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] For the aluminum alloy plate for engraving of the present invention, by adjusting the contents of silicon, manganese and magnesium, the tensile strength of the obtained H112 state aluminum alloy plate can reach 180 Mpa, and the elongation can reach ≥16%, which is 2-3 times that of the existing engraving plate. It not only ensures the high strength performance of the aluminum alloy plate, but also improves the elongation, which helps to improve the formability and bending performance of the product. In addition, compared with the 5052 alloy used in the current engraving plate, the aluminum alloy composition of the present invention increases the manganese content and decreases the magnesium content, greatly reducing the hot cracking tendency of the alloy. In addition, the manganese element can also make the internal tissue Mg5Al8 compound precipitate evenly, enabling the product to obtain excellent corrosion resistance and welding performance.

[0023] The aluminum alloy plate for engraving of the present invention uses the process waste materials of 4017 aluminum alloy plates, 5052 aluminum alloy plates and 5083 aluminum alloy plates as raw materials. Special attention needs to be paid to the refining and filtering processes of the aluminum liquid to remove impurities and dross in the aluminum liquid. The present invention adopts a refining mode of primary refining for 20 minutes in a melting furnace + secondary refining for 40 minutes in a holding furnace, and a filtering mode of primary filtering, secondary filtering and deep bed filtering. The effective slag removal efficiency can reach more than 90%, ensuring the purity of the aluminum liquid. Due to the complex raw material components, the present invention first adopts the starting casting process and then adjusts it to the normal casting process, controlling the cooling water flow rate, casting speed and casting temperature to ensure the normal starting casting and prevent defects such as aluminum leakage and cracks that cause casting failure. Detailed implementation mode

[0024] The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the examples are conventional means well-known to those skilled in the art. The test methods in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified.

[0025] Example 1 Production of aluminum alloy plate with a thickness of 9.67 mm

[0026] a. Melting: Using the head and tail waste materials or edge waste materials cut during the production of 4017 aluminum alloy plates, 5052 aluminum alloy plates and 5083 aluminum alloy plates as raw materials, the usage amounts of the three process waste materials are 36300 Kg, 25500 kg and 2600 kg respectively. Add the raw materials to a reverberatory furnace for melting, and the melting temperature is 747 ± 2 °C. After all the raw materials in the furnace are melted, stir to remove the dross to obtain aluminum alloy liquid. During the melting process, through spectral detection, adjust the composition of the aluminum alloy liquid to meet: Si 0.916%, Fe 0.614%, Cu 0.154%, Mn 0.805%, Mg 1.146%, Cr 0.038%, Zn 0.0794%, Ti 0.028%, Al 96.2196%.

[0027] b. Primary refining: Perform primary refining on the aluminum alloy liquid obtained in step a. The primary refining temperature is 744 ± 2 °C, and the primary refining time is 20 minutes.

[0028] c. Secondary refining: After primary refining, skim the slag and transfer the furnace. Transfer the aluminum alloy liquid to a holding furnace. In the holding furnace, secondary refining is carried out by combining in-furnace automatic gas injection refining and out-of-furnace manual powder injection refining. The secondary refining temperature is 750 ± 2 °C, and the secondary refining time is 40 minutes.

[0029] d. Filtration and on-line degassing: After secondary refining, slag skimming is carried out, and it is left standing in the holding furnace for 20 minutes. The static aluminum alloy is filtered successively through primary filtration. The precision of the primary ceramic filter is 40 ppi; secondary filtration, the precision of the secondary ceramic filter is 50 ppi; deep bed filtration uses a porous medium as the filter layer. The porous medium is stacked by alumina balls and alumina grits. Generally, the filtration tonnage is <8000 tons, and the slag removal efficiency can reach more than 90%. It also has an on-line temperature measurement and heating device, which can better control the metal temperature, reduce the oxidation and hydrogen absorption of the molten aluminum; before the molten aluminum enters the on-line degassing device, aluminum-titanium-boron wire is added for grain refinement. The feeding speed of the aluminum-titanium-boron wire is 10 mm / min. The on-line degassing process uses a double-rotor high-purity argon degassing method, and the rotor speeds are 353 r / min and 357 r / min respectively. After on-line degassing, the hydrogen content in every 100 g of molten aluminum alloy liquid is controlled to be 0.104 ml.

[0030] Multiple filtrations ensure the purity of the molten aluminum alloy and guarantee the quality defect-free of the ingot without slag inclusion. In addition, the filter box has a heating and temperature-rising function, making the temperature of the molten aluminum in casting more stable and also ensuring more uniform quality of the ingot.

[0031] e. Casting: The filtered aluminum alloy liquid is cast into an aluminum alloy flat ingot by the direct-chill casting process. The casting conditions are as follows: The casting temperature is 717 ± 2 °C, the cooling water flow rate is 140 m 3 / h, and the casting speed is 40 mm / min; when the length of the cast flat ingot reaches 100 mm, it is adjusted to the normal casting process. The casting conditions are as follows: The casting temperature is 722 ± 2 °C, the cooling water flow rate is 260 m 3 / h, and the casting speed is 46 mm / min; the cast flat ingot is a wide-width ingot with a specification of 1900 mm.

[0032] The casting platform uses a numerically controlled launder (automatic liquid level control) to reduce the cold lap defect caused by uneven surface cooling of the ingot due to inconsistent liquid level height; a slag retaining ring is assembled at the diversion port of the launder, which can greatly reduce the oxide skin on the surface of the molten aluminum from being drawn into the large surface of the ingot during the casting process, improving the surface quality of the ingot.

[0033] f. Facing: The aluminum alloy flat ingot is faced. The facing amount on one side of the large surface is 10 mm, and the facing amount on one side of the small side is 5 mm, ensuring that there are no surface quality defects such as slag inclusion, crack, cold lap, and aluminum sticking mark on the ingot surface.

[0047] d. Filtration and on-line degassing: After secondary refining, slag skimming is carried out, and it is left standing in the holding furnace for 20 min.
