Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bearing shell materials, in particular to a double-aluminum composite material and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to excellent corrosion resistance, good embedding resistance and occlusion resistance of aluminum-tin alloy, the aluminum-tin alloy / pure aluminum / steel multilayer material can be matched with a soft shaft without surface plating of a soft alloy, so that the aluminum-tin alloy / pure aluminum / steel multilayer material has been widely applied to engine bearing shells of automobiles, internal combustion locomotives and ships at home and abroad. So far, its production output has been the first among various bearing shell materials.

[0003] However, the bearing shell material has general load bearing capacity and only has moderate load bearing capacity. This is mainly related to the pure aluminum layer between the aluminum-tin alloy and the steel back. Tin is prone to reacting with iron to form a hard and brittle tin-iron phase, which affects the bonding strength of the aluminum-tin alloy and the steel back. In order to prevent direct contact between the aluminum-tin alloy and the steel back, a layer of pure aluminum is added in the middle. However, as the load bearing capacity of the bearing shell increases, the pure aluminum layer will yield and reach its load limit, causing the bearing shell to fail.

[0004] With the development of engines towards high speed and high load, the aluminum-tin alloy / pure aluminum / steel multilayer material cannot meet the development needs of modern industry for bearing shells. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a double-aluminum composite material for bearing shells to solve the problem of insufficient load bearing capacity of the above-mentioned bearing shell materials.
