Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy materials, in particular to a 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for spinning wheel rims and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the automobile industry develops towards environmental protection, comfort, safety and energy saving, the lightweight design of automobiles is particularly important. The most important thing in lightweighting automobiles is to reduce the weight of the "rim" of the hub to promote the aluminum alloying of automobile hubs. The hub consists of two parts: the rim and the spoke. Among them, the rim is produced by cold spinning process, the spoke is produced by low-pressure casting process, and the rim and the spoke are compounded into an ultra-light hub structure by stir friction welding.
[0003] With the development of the automobile industry and the improvement of consumers' requirements for driving comfort, aluminum alloys have gained popularity in the preparation of automobile wheels due to their unique properties. The advantages of aluminum alloy wheels are mainly as follows: (1) Fast heat dissipation: At room temperature, the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is three times that of steel, which can effectively prevent the wheels from overheating and causing tire blowouts at high speeds, greatly extending the service life of automobile and motorcycle tires, especially the life of high-load truck tires. (2) Light weight: The density of aluminum is lower than that of steel, and each aluminum alloy wheel can reduce the weight by about 2 kilograms. Because aluminum wheels are light and have a small moment of inertia, the acceleration of the car is improved, and the braking performance is also improved. While improving the acceleration ability of the car, it will also reduce fuel consumption; (3) Beautiful appearance. There are many different methods for treating the surface of aluminum alloys, which can show a beautiful metallic luster and enhance the technological and artistic sense of the wheel appearance.
[0004] Compared with the existing aluminum alloy wheel rim preparation technology (casting, forging, stamping), the wheel rim prepared by the spinning forming method has stable performance, low cost, and is easier to industrialize. The wheel hub production process is: aluminum plate → rolling → flattening → straight welding → flash removal → rounding → end cutting → flanging → roll forging → spinning → end cutting → compounding with die-cast wheel spokes → ring welding → milling thin surface in the machining workshop.
[0005] In the prior art, Al-Si-Mg aluminum alloys for casting include: ZL101, A356, German AlSi12Mg and Japanese AC4C; deformed aluminum includes 6063, 6061, 6082, 5052 and other aluminum alloy grades. This type of aluminum has medium strength and excellent processing and forming properties. With the continuous pursuit of lightweight automobiles, aluminum alloy sheets are required to be thinner, have higher strength, and better forming properties. When conventional 6000 series aluminum materials in the prior art are used to prepare rims, there is a high risk of cracking after spinning, a low yield rate, or the rim tensile performance does not meet the standards, the cost remains high, and it is difficult to promote and apply on a large scale. Therefore, it is urgent to develop the alloy composition and preparation process of 6000 series aluminum materials with higher comprehensive performance. Summary of the invention
[0006] The technical purpose of the present invention is to provide a 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for spun rims with fine and uniform internal grain structure, high elongation, good tensile strength and excellent forming performance, and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the technical problem that the strength and forming performance of conventional 6000 series aluminum alloys are difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of spun rim preparation technology.

[0008] Furthermore, the thickness of the aluminum alloy medium and thick plate is 6-8 mm, the tolerance is +0.28 / -0.02 mm, the grain size is ≤50 μm, the second phase size is ≤10 μm, the tensile strength is ≥100 MPa, the yield strength is 35-90 MPa, and the elongation is ≥30%.
[0009] A method for preparing a 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for a spinning rim comprises the following steps:
[0010] Step S1, according to the above weight percentage ratio, weigh the components in the aluminum alloy raw material respectively, adopt the semi-continuous casting method, control the cooling water volume during the semi-continuous casting to be 155-162㎥ / h, and the water temperature cooling intensity to be 30.5-31.2° C., to obtain an aluminum alloy ingot for standby use;
[0011] Step S2, heat treating the aluminum alloy ingot obtained in step S1;
[0012] Step S3, hot rolling the aluminum alloy ingot after the heat treatment in step S2 to obtain a hot-rolled plate for standby use;

[0014] Step S5, annealing the medium and thick plate obtained in step S4 to obtain a finished aluminum alloy medium and thick plate.
[0015] Furthermore, in step S1, the melting temperature during the semi-continuous casting is 740-760°C, the casting temperature during the semi-continuous casting is 690-710°C, and the grain size from the core to the edge of the aluminum alloy ingot after the semi-continuous casting is 95-140 μm.
[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the specific operation of the heat treatment is to place the aluminum alloy ingot in a temperature environment of 560-570°C for soaking treatment for 8-18 hours, and then naturally cool it to room temperature.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S3, the specific operation of the hot rolling treatment is to place the aluminum alloy ingot in a temperature environment of 490-520°C for heating treatment for 11-15 hours, and then control the starting rolling temperature to 450-500°C and the final rolling temperature to ≥350°C to obtain a hot-rolled plate with a final rolling thickness of 8-10 mm.

[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0020] 1. The 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for spinning rims of the present invention is made by adding alloy elements such as Cu, Mn, Cr, Zn, Ti and Fe to Al-Si-Mg alloy. Among them, the addition of Fe and Cu elements can effectively improve the strength of the alloy, especially the specific mass percentage of the metal element Cu = 0.25~0.35 in the alloy is an important means to adjust the strength of the finished rim, so that the plasticity and fatigue resistance of the rim are significantly enhanced; the addition of Ti element can refine the original grains, and the control of the addition amount of the alloy elements Mn, Cr and Zn ensures that the tensile strength and forming performance of the aluminum alloy material in the O treatment state and the T6 treatment state can meet the technical requirements of aluminum for spinning rims. In addition, during the processing of the aluminum alloy, various alloy compounds can be formed between the alloying elements, such as Cu2Mg formed between Cu and Mg; TiAl3 generated by the peritectic reaction of Ti in Al, etc. Under the control of specific process parameters, the surfaces where these alloy compounds contact the liquid metal can become effective nucleation base surfaces during aluminum solidification, thereby increasing the nucleation rate of the aluminum alloy, thereby refining the crystal structure, and significantly improving the strength of the alloy. At the same time, the elongation, tensile strength, etc. are also greatly improved.
[0021] 2. The 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for spinning rims of the present invention limits the composition of the alloy and the mass percentage ratio of each component, so that the components are reasonably compatible, have a comprehensive effect, and have mutual alloying effect, thereby significantly improving the comprehensive performance of the Al-Si-Mg alloy material. In terms of preparation technology, by precisely controlling the casting heat treatment, hot rolling and annealing process parameters, a cold rolling process is added to achieve the refinement of the second phase and grain structure of the aluminum material from the ingot to the plate strip. The prepared aluminum alloy medium and thick plate has a small grain size, high tensile strength, excellent forming performance, good version, and small thickness tolerance. The thickness of the finished aluminum plate is 6~8mm, the grain size is ≤50μm, the second phase size is ≤10μm, the tensile strength is ≥100MPa, the yield strength is 35~90MPa, and the elongation is ≥30%. The rim surface prepared by spinning using the aluminum alloy medium and thick plate of the present invention as the raw material has no orange peel problem, excellent comprehensive performance, and better meets the technical requirements of aluminum alloy for rims.
[0022] 3. In the preparation process of a 6000 series aluminum alloy medium and thick plate for a spun wheel rim of the present invention, the cooling water volume during casting is regulated to be 155-162㎥ / h and the water temperature cooling intensity is 30.5-31.2°C in the semi-continuous casting step; in the hot rolling step, a large amount of rolling reduction is performed to dynamically recrystallize the grains and obtain a finished aluminum alloy with fine and uniform grain structure, thereby ensuring that the finished aluminum alloy can meet the technical requirements of aluminum alloy for spun wheel hubs in subsequent spinning forming, stir friction welding and surface treatment processes.
