Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] A method for preparing 8079 double-zero aluminum foil blank using electrolytic aluminum liquid
[0002] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy strip preparation, and in particular relates to a method for preparing 8079 double-zero aluminum foil blank by utilizing electrolytic aluminum liquid. Background Art
[0003] Double-zero aluminum foil is widely used in the packaging industry. Its advantages, such as high barrier properties, lightweight, UV resistance, and long shelf life at room temperature, have led to a continuous increase in its application in the packaging field. Aluminum foil has become a key packaging material in food, beverages, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, household goods, and cigarette packaging. Due to the extremely thin thickness of the finished product, any inclusions or phases larger than 0.005mm within the material may increase the pinhole rate on the surface. Therefore, extremely stringent requirements are imposed on the base material's purity, metallurgical quality, chemical composition, surface and plate quality, as well as the material's internal structure and grain structure.
[0004] With advancements in aluminum foil processing technology and a growing emphasis on more economical and environmentally friendly processing methods, the production of double-zero aluminum foil billets has shifted from hot rolling to casting and rolling. Casting and rolling using electrolytic aluminum liquid is the shortest process, offering significant environmental and economic benefits, and has been widely adopted within the industry in recent years. Compared to using remelted aluminum ingots, electrolytic aluminum liquid has disadvantages such as inclusions, high hydrogen and alkali metal content, and overburning of the melt. This often results in substandard pinholes in double-zero aluminum foil due to improper casting and rolling process design, reducing product yield, causing significant economic losses to the company, and wasting social energy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing 8079 double-zero aluminum foil billet using electrolytic aluminum liquid, so as to improve the metallurgical quality of the billet and increase the yield of double-zero aluminum foil products.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] A method for preparing 8079 double-zero aluminum foil blank using electrolytic aluminum liquid comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1. Screening of qualified electrolytic aluminum liquid:
[0009] Screening the electrolytic aluminum liquid that meets the requirements from the source of aluminum electrolysis as raw materials: the mass percentage of Fe in the electrolytic aluminum liquid is ≤ 0.13%, the mass percentage of Si is ≤ 0.05%, and the content of Na is ≤ 60ppm;
[0010] S2. Pretreatment of electrolytic aluminum liquid:
[0011] The electrolytic aluminum liquid obtained by S1 screening is placed in a vacuum ladle, and the powder spraying refining method is adopted. The refining agent is sprayed into the electrolytic aluminum liquid using argon gas. After standing, the pretreatment of the electrolytic aluminum liquid is completed. The refining agent is loaded into the aluminum liquid using argon gas to preliminarily remove hydrogen, non-metallic inclusions and alkali metals in the electrolytic aluminum liquid.
[0012] S3. Ingredients:
[0013] First, remove the upper layer of aluminum liquid in the vacuum ladle in S2, which accounts for 1 / 5 of the total electrolytic aluminum liquid, for separate use. Then remove the upper 2 / 3 of the remaining electrolytic aluminum liquid in the vacuum ladle. If one ladle is insufficient, repeat the aluminum liquid removal method in S2-S3 until the required amount is reached, thus obtaining spare aluminum liquid for double-zero foil billets. By using the pretreated electrolytic aluminum liquid in layers, aluminum liquid with higher purity is selected as the production raw material, and the inclusion content entering the 8079 alloy double-zero foil billet production system is controlled, creating conditions for producing high-quality and stable double-zero foil billets.
[0014] Charge the smelting furnace with solid materials first, then add the spare aluminum liquid. The weight of the solid materials should be controlled at 30-50% of the total weight of the materials.
[0015] S4. Adjust the composition of the molten aluminum:
[0016] The aluminum liquid in the smelting furnace is adjusted to have the following composition by mass percentage: Fe 0.70-0.90%, Si 0.10-0.20%, Ti 0.015-0.035%, Cu 0.015-0.030%, Re 0.05-0.08%, Mn ≤ 0.03%, other impurities ≤ 0.15%, and the balance is Al;
[0017] S5. Alloy melting:
[0018] (1) Refining in smelting furnace:
[0019] After the charge in the smelting furnace is completely melted, the temperature of the molten aluminum is raised to 725°C, and the molten aluminum is electromagnetically stirred for 10-15 minutes. When the melt temperature reaches 730°C, refining begins. Sodium-free remelting granular refining agent is used for melt refining. The amount of refining agent is 1.5-2.0kg / t·Al. Argon is used to evenly load the sodium-free remelting granular refining agent into the molten aluminum. The refining time is 22-26 minutes. After standing for 20-35 minutes, slag is skimmed. The converter temperature of the smelting furnace melt is 740-755°C. The converter is started after the smelting furnace temperature and composition meet the control requirements.
[0020] (2) Refining in a static furnace:
[0021] The melt is transferred from the converter to the static furnace, and the aluminum liquid is kept at a temperature of 740-750℃ to ensure that the aluminum liquid temperature at the furnace eye is controlled at 730±3℃. The aluminum liquid is refined every 5 hours after being transferred from the converter to the static furnace. The first refining uses Ar + sodium-free environmentally friendly refining agent with a refining agent dosage of 0.8-1.2kg / t·Al. Before each refining, 0.4-0.6% of the total mass of the melt in the furnace is added with aluminum ingots or cast-rolled aluminum plates of the same alloy. High-purity argon is used for refining.
[0022] S6. Online processing:
[0023] The melt obtained from S4 is processed online. The Al-Ti5-B1 grain refiner is preheated and added at the degassing box inlet. The addition amount is 0.12-0.18% of the aluminum liquid passing through. The temperature of the preheated Al-Ti5-B1 wire rod is not less than 400°C, and the temperature of the melt at the addition point is not less than 720°C. The online Ti increment is controlled at 0.005-0.008%. After flowing out of the degassing box, the aluminum liquid enters the filtration system. The filtration system adopts a double filtration system of foam ceramic filter plate + ceramic filter tube in series. The first stage of the double filtration system adopts 40PPI+60PPI ceramic filter plate, and the second stage adopts 16PPI tubular filter. The outlet temperature of the tubular filter is 710-715°C. The temperature drop of the aluminum liquid at the furnace eye, degassing box outlet, tubular filter outlet and front box outlet is not more than 10°C. The hydrogen content of the melt at the outlet of the tubular filter is not higher than 0.110ml / 100g·Al.
[0024] S7, Casting and Rolling:
[0025] The casting and rolling adopts a double-roll inclined casting and rolling mill. The upper and lower rollers of the casting and rolling mill are made of alloy steel roller sleeves, and the graphite spraying roller surface lubrication process is adopted. The casting and rolling area is 58-65mm long, the front box temperature is controlled at 695-705℃, the casting nozzle adopts two-level diversion, the casting and rolling speed is 750-850mm / min, the cooling water temperature is 32-35℃, and the cooling water flow rate is 100-130m 3 / h, producing cast-rolled strip with a thickness of 7.0-7.5mm and a center crown of 0.02-0.03mm. The temperature of the cast-rolled strip before coiling must not exceed 150°C, and cold rolling production begins after the coil temperature drops below 40°C. By balancing the various casting and rolling process parameters, uniform cooling during the crystallization process is achieved, improving the uniformity of the cast-rolled strip grain structure and preventing the formation of oversized secondary phases at grain boundaries or dendrite boundaries.
[0026] S8, cold rolling:
[0027] The cast strip obtained in S7 is cold rolled to 4.0 mm in one pass at a rolling speed of 200-400 m / min, and then homogenized annealing is performed. After the coil temperature reaches 560°C, a bipolar homogenization annealing process of 560°C / 10 h + 530°C / 6 h is adopted. After the annealing is completed, the coil is cooled with the furnace to a temperature below 300°C and then air-cooled. After the coil temperature is below 40°C, the strip is thinned from 4.0 mm to 0.6 mm in three passes, with the processing rate of each pass controlled at 40-60%. After trimming, intermediate annealing is performed at 320°C / 6 h. After intermediate annealing, cold rolling is continued, and then rolled to H14 state in one pass, so that the strip thickness is thinned from 0.6 mm to a finished thickness of 0.22-0.26 mm. The tensile strength is 135-145 MPa, and the elongation is 3-5%. The processing of 8079 alloy double zero foil blank is completed. The use of gradient homogenization annealing + furnace cooling process can effectively control the size and spheroidization rate of the precipitated phase, improve the distribution uniformity in the thickness direction, and reduce the precipitation of Al3Fe phase.
[0028] In order to further realize the present invention, as described in S1, the electrolytic aluminum liquid that meets the requirements is screened from the aluminum electrolysis source as raw material, the working voltage of the electrolytic cell corresponding to the selected electrolytic aluminum liquid is 3.85-3.95V, the peak value of the working voltage fluctuation in the past three months is ≯0.6V, and the cell temperature is 930-940℃.
[0029] To further implement the present invention, the refining agent in S2 is composed of a uniform mixture of a sodium-free two-in-one powder refining agent and a sodium-free granular refining agent, the weight percentage of the sodium-free two-in-one powder refining agent and the sodium-free granular refining agent being 1:1, the total refining agent dosage is 0.5-1.5 kg / t·Al, the refining time is 3-5 minutes, and the refining is allowed to stand for 5-10 minutes. The electrolytic aluminum liquid is preliminarily treated by an in-laundering pretreatment method to reduce the content of non-metallic inclusions, hydrogen, and alkali metals, thereby improving the purity of the electrolytic aluminum liquid.
[0030] In order to further realize the present invention, the solid material in S3 is Al99.80 grade remelted aluminum ingot and 8079 alloy cast plate waste.
[0031] In order to further realize the present invention, the smelting cycle of the smelting furnace in (1) of S5 is not more than 9 hours.
[0032] To further implement the present invention, in step (2) of S5, during the process of transferring the melt from the converter to the static furnace, AlTi10 alloy is evenly added to the molten aluminum twice from the chute. The amount of AlTi10 alloy added is 0.8‰ of the weight of the molten aluminum. During continuous production, the converter liquid level in the static furnace is not less than 300mm. This step can avoid the concentrated outflow of overburned melt caused by too low a liquid level, which deteriorates the grain structure of the billet, and the large-scale agitation of precipitated inclusions at the bottom of the furnace.
[0033] In order to further realize the present invention, the degassing box in S6 adopts a silicon nitride rotor for online degassing, the online refining gas is argon, the working gas pressure is 0.20-0.55MPa, the flow rate is 4-15L / Min, and the covering gas flow rate is 10-20L / Min.
[0034] In order to further realize the present invention, the wall thickness of the roller sleeve in S7 is 35-50 mm.
[0035] In order to further realize the present invention, the light transmittance of the rolling oil in the rolling process described in S8 is not less than 98%, and the surface roughness of the finished pass billet is Ra0.3-0.4μm.
[0036] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared to the prior art are:
[0037] The present invention selects relatively pure electrolytic aluminum liquid from the state of the electrolytic cell, pre-treats the electrolytic aluminum liquid through in-ladle refining, and selects electrolytic aluminum liquid with good melt quality as the raw material for the production of double-zero foil billets, thereby significantly reducing the non-metallic inclusions, hydrogen and alkali metal contents entering the 8079 alloy double-zero foil billet production system, laying the foundation for the subsequent production of high-quality billets.
[0038] The present invention, through the precise design of the furnace pre-treatment process, selectively uses the pre-treated electrolytic aluminum liquid in the vacuum ladle, selects the aluminum liquid with higher purity as the production raw material, controls the inclusion content entering the production system, improves the purity of the melt, significantly reduces the pressure of refining and online processing in the furnace, and improves the purity of the system melt.
[0039] The present invention improves the production process of 8079 alloy double-zero foil billets, adopts systematic furnace pretreatment methods, and combines ceramic filter plates and tubular filtration online treatment processes to remove slag inclusions larger than 5 μm in the melt through bipolar filtration. At the same time, hydrogen associated with slag gas is removed by filtration, so that the hydrogen content of the melt reaches the hydrogen removal efficiency that can only be achieved by using chlorine or chlorine-containing media, effectively avoiding chlorine pollution of equipment and the environment, and also providing ideas for the production of other products with high metallurgical quality requirements.
[0040] The present invention studies the influence of homogenization annealing on the microstructure of 8079 double zero foil blank, adopts a bipolar homogenization annealing process and a method of controlling the cooling rate of the coil after homogenization annealing, effectively reduces the content of harmful phase Al3Fe in the strip, and thus controls the pinhole rate of the double zero foil finished product.

After refining, let it stand for 10min to complete the pretreatment of the electrolytic aluminum liquid.
[0078] S3. Ingredients:
[0079] During the charging process of the smelting furnace, 15t was loaded according to the plan.
[0080] Add 1 / 5 of the weight of the aluminum liquid in the 1# ladle into the melting furnace of other products with lower aluminum liquid quality requirements, and then use the upper 2 / 3 of the remaining aluminum liquid as qualified spare aluminum liquid for double zero foil billets (5.40t);
[0081] Add 1 / 5 of the weight of the aluminum liquid in the 2# ladle into the melting furnace of other products with lower aluminum liquid quality requirements, and then use the upper 2 / 3 of the remaining aluminum liquid as qualified spare aluminum liquid for double zero foil billets (5.10t);

[0139] S4. Adjust the composition of the molten aluminum:
[0140] During the process of adjusting the composition of the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace, aluminum-iron master alloy, aluminum-titanium master alloy, aluminum-copper master alloy, Al-Re master alloy and aluminum-silicon master alloy are used to adjust the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace to the following composition by mass percentage: Fe: 0.81%, Si: 0.14%, Ti: 0.035%, Cu: 0.027%, Re: 0.05%, Mn: 0.018%, impurity elements Ca: 0.009%, V: 0.011, and the balance is Al.

[0141] S5. Alloy melting:
[0142] (1) Refining in smelting furnace:
[0143] After the charge in the smelting furnace is completely melted, the temperature of the aluminum liquid is raised to 725°C, and the aluminum liquid is electromagnetically stirred for 10 minutes. When the melt temperature reaches 730°C, refining begins. The sodium-free remelting granular refining agent is used for melt refining. The amount of refining agent is 22.3 kg.
