Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy materials, and in particular to a heat-treatment-free high-melting-point die-casting aluminum alloy suitable for brazing and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, die-cast aluminum alloy materials have been widely used in the automotive industry. Some automotive parts have long been generally made of high vacuum die-casting technology, but they usually cannot meet welding requirements when connected. Due to the characteristics of cast aluminum alloys themselves, welding between dissimilar aluminum alloys (such as deformed aluminum alloys) will encounter problems. The weldability depends on the differences in physical properties, chemical properties, metallurgical and mechanical properties between the two parent materials. Therefore, the development of new parent materials, welding wires and welding processes is an urgent problem to be solved in the automotive industry.
[0003] Brazing is a welding technology that uses a brazing filler metal with a lower melting point than the aluminum alloy base material, and an operating temperature that is lower than the base material solidus and higher than the brazing filler metal liquidus, to connect the base materials together through the molten brazing filler metal. Currently, the 3000 series alloy (such as AA3003) is a traditional aluminum alloy for automotive heat exchangers. It can be used in almost all brazing methods, while the single 5000 series and 6000 series are generally used for vacuum brazing. The automotive industry is developing in the direction of lightweighting, and aluminum brazing methods have become a key technology.
[0004] The most commonly used process at present is to weld aluminum profiles and aluminum plates after mechanical processing, but this method is time-consuming and costly, and is not an ideal production process. Conventional cast aluminum alloys are mainly aluminum-silicon alloys, which have good casting formability but low melting point (<590℃). The temperature during high-temperature brazing is high (610℃). After soaking for a period of time, the material will soften and easily produce pore defects, making it impossible to produce qualified products, and therefore cannot meet the use requirements. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-melting-point die-casting aluminum alloy suitable for brazing and free of heat treatment and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art.
[0006] The alloy material of the present invention redesigns and regulates the composition on the basis of Al-Mn alloy, and achieves good brazing and castability through optimization of alloy composition. Al-Mn alloy is a commonly used deformed aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, high specific strength, good thermal conductivity, etc. Mn can prevent the recrystallization process of aluminum and its alloys, increase the recrystallization temperature, and significantly refine the grains. It can be seen from the equilibrium phase diagram of Al-Mn alloy that the eutectic point at 658°C is 1.82%, forming a eutectic intermetallic compound Al6Mn phase as the main phase. A certain content of Mn can ensure that the alloy has good fluidity and is suitable for die casting, and the melting point of the alloy is higher than the temperature required for brazing and is suitable for brazing.
[0007] Adding Fe to the alloy can reduce the solubility of Mn in aluminum, increase the precipitation of Mn to reduce the segregation of Mn in aluminum, but the Fe content cannot be too much, which is easy to form a coarse Al6 (FeMn) phase, which is a hard and brittle phase distributed in the organization in large flakes, reducing the plasticity and strength of the alloy. Fe can also improve the fluidity of the alloy and facilitate demolding during die casting, which is beneficial to the die casting process.
[0008] Adding Si to the system of the present invention has little effect on improving fluidity, but too much Si can easily form intermetallic compounds such as Al 15 (FeMn)3Si2 phase is a harmful phase that will significantly reduce the solidus temperature, thus failing to meet the brazing requirements. Therefore, the present invention strictly controls the Si content below 0.7%, and the Fe and Si contents within a certain range will form a large number of finely dispersed second phases, which can significantly improve the strength and toughness of the alloy.
[0009] The addition of Zn to the alloy can significantly improve the fluidity of the alloy, and it can easily form a MgZn phase with Mg, thereby increasing the strength of the alloy and improving the mechanical properties of the alloy.
[0010] Mg is added to the alloy to form a Mg2Si reinforcement phase, which plays a role in solid solution strengthening and improves the yield strength of the alloy, but excessive addition will reduce brazing properties. On the one hand, a large Mg content will reduce the melting point of the alloy, and on the other hand, Mg has a tendency to react chemically with the brazing material, which can easily affect the welding quality. Therefore, Mg should not be added excessively in the alloy. Ti can effectively refine the grains and improve the strength and toughness of the alloy.
[0011] Adding trace element V can improve the tensile strength and elongation of aluminum alloy. V element will precipitate spherical AlFeSi(Mn+V) phase in the matrix, effectively reducing the lamellar iron-rich phase in the matrix, which is beneficial to improving the toughness of aluminum alloy. Trace Hf can form a high-temperature stable compound Al3Hf with aluminum, which can better improve the heat resistance of the alloy, and as a nucleation particle, it improves the heterogeneous nucleation ability of the alloy, so that the alloy structure is refined to a certain extent.
[0012] RE rare earth elements have an obvious strengthening effect in aluminum alloys, mainly including fine grain strengthening, limited solid solution strengthening and second phase strengthening of rare earth compounds. At the same time, it can improve the fluidity of the alloy, reduce the hydrogen content in the aluminum alloy liquid, and reduce the probability of gas impurity defects, playing a good role in purifying the aluminum liquid. Die casting itself is likely to make the casting contain gas, and the brazing process requires a high gas content in a vacuum state. Adding rare earth elements can play an obvious improvement role.

[0180] Table 1 shows the mass fraction of the aluminum alloy materials of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-7, and Table 2 shows the mechanical properties, solidus temperature, and fluidity test results of the die-cast aluminum alloy corresponding to Table 1. According to the results of each embodiment and comparative example in Table 1 and Table 2, it can be seen from the comparison between Example 9 and Comparative Examples 1-7 that when the alloy is not added with elements such as Mg, V, Zn, Hf, and RE rare earth, the mechanical properties of the alloy are greatly reduced, the solidus temperature is reduced, and the fluidity is deteriorated, which indicates that when Mg, V, Zn, Hf, and RE rare earth are added to the aluminum matrix in a certain proportion, a synergistic strengthening effect is played, which can effectively improve the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of the alloy, and achieve the effect of stabilizing the mechanical properties of the alloy.
[0181] Figure 1 This is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) microstructure image of the alloy of Example 9 of the present invention. The microstructure morphology of the alloy of the present invention can be observed. In the ɑ-Al matrix, there are a network-distributed Al rare earth phase, a block-shaped AlMnFe phase, and a dispersed granular MgSi phase. It can be observed that the second phase is distributed relatively evenly, which can play a better strengthening role. Figure 2 This is a DSC curve analysis result diagram of the alloy of Example 4 of the present invention. The test results show that the solidus temperature of the alloy is 631.15°C, which is higher than the commonly used vacuum brazing temperature of 610°C and can meet the use requirements of brazing aluminum alloys. Figure 3 This is a diagram of the fluidity mold test results of the alloy in Example 1 of the present invention. The experimental test shows that the alloy has good fluidity and the material has good die-casting performance.
[0182] In summary, the present invention optimizes the alloy composition on the basis of Al-Mn alloy, by adding a certain proportion of Si, Fe, Mg, Zn, V, Ti and trace elements Hf, and RE rare earth elements, RE including at least one of La / Ce / Sc and above. The strengthening mechanism of various elements is maximized, and the elements play a synergistic strengthening role with each other, and higher mechanical properties can be achieved without heat treatment to meet the use requirements. Within the scope of this alloy system, the element ratio is regulated to effectively increase the solidus temperature of the aluminum alloy on the basis of ensuring good mechanical properties.
