Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy processing, and particularly relates to a continuous aluminum profile processing technology. Background Art

[0002] Green manufacturing is an important part of the construction of ecological civilization. In the field of transportation, the lightweighting of transportation tools is one of the important contents for realizing energy conservation, emission reduction and green development. Aluminum profiles have the advantages of high strength, light weight and corrosion resistance, and can meet the lightweight requirements of the transportation industry. They are widely used metal materials in the fields of aerospace, automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, petrochemical industry, communication equipment, etc. As a metal plastic processing method with few or no cutting, extrusion has great superiority compared with forming processes such as free forging and film forging. Generally speaking, extruded parts have high accuracy, high surface finish, and the material utilization rate is significantly higher than other processing methods. At present, technologies such as forward extrusion, backward extrusion, and hydrostatic extrusion have been widely used in aluminum processing, and corresponding extrusion equipment has also emerged one after another.

[0003] In the continuous extrusion production of hollow aluminum profiles, the end-to-end connection of the front and rear two billets will result in transverse welds inside the profiles. The tensile fracture points in the transverse weld area are basically at the transverse welds. The fracture type of the material at the weld is mostly brittle fracture. The plasticity, strength and toughness of the material at the transverse weld are significantly lower than those of normal profiles. Through research and analysis of the evolution process of the grain shape, special grain boundaries and micro-texture in the transverse weld area of the profiles, it is found that in the early stage of the weld, the weld is wider, the new material area is mostly equiaxed grains, and the old material area is mostly elongated grains. Moreover, the recrystallization degree at the transverse weld is incomplete, mostly coarse grains and small-angle grain boundaries, which seriously affect the texture components and mechanical properties of the material. If the transverse weld area is not cut enough, it will be used as a normal profile, which will inevitably cause harm. If it is cut excessively, it will lead to a reduction in production efficiency and waste of materials. Summary of the Invention

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: The preparation method of modified fly ash includes the following steps:

[0016] A1: Immerse fly ash particles in a 5 - 10wt% hydrochloric acid solution for 1 - 3h to obtain impurity - removed fly ash;

[0017] A2: Mix Er(NO)3·5H2O, glacial acetic acid, and dimethyl ether evenly, and then continue to add acetylacetone to obtain a deposition solution;

[0018] A3: Immerse the impurity - removed fly ash in the deposition solution, filter, dry the solid, and then calcine to obtain modified fly ash.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: The fly ash particles are obtained by mixing fly ash with a particle size of 100 - 200um and fly ash with a particle size of 0.5 - 40um at a mass ratio of 1:1 - 2.

It can increase the heat input to the weld per unit time, increase the weld penetration depth, refine the grains of the weld, improve the mechanical properties of the weld, and endow the weld with excellent tensile strength.

[0117] Active GTAW: welding current 150 A, tungsten electrode diameter 2.0 mm, welding speed 1.83 mm / s, arc length 3.5 mm, argon gas flow rate 6 L / mm, tungsten electrode tip angle 45°, tungsten electrode material is cerium tungsten electrode;

[0118] A microcomputer-controlled electronic universal testing machine was used. The main parameters of the universal testing machine were: maximum test force 300 KN, effective tensile space 600 mm, and main machine power supply 5 KW.

[0119] The sampling positions of the profiles were as Figure 1 shown. Five specimens were taken at the initial, middle, and late stages of the formation of the No. I transverse weld respectively. One specimen T1 was taken at the initial stage of the weld formation, at the position of 987 mm from the stop line; two specimens T2 and T3 were taken at the middle stage of the weld formation, at the positions of 1133 mm and 1394 mm from the stop line respectively; two specimens T4 and T5 were taken at the late stage of the weld formation, at the positions of 1578 mm and 1702 mm from the stop line respectively.

At the selected positions, materials with a shape of 18 mm×109 mm were cut from the aluminum profiles by wire cutting.

[0120] In this test, the tensile specimens were prepared according to the dimensional standards specified by the Beijing General Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals. The shape of the specimens was as Figure 2 shown. The specimen consisted of three parts: clamping, parallel, and transition. The length of the clamping part of the tensile specimen was 16 mm, and the length of the parallel part was 68 mm.
