Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aluminum alloy manufacturing technology, specifically to a multilayer composite aluminum alloy for water-cooled plates and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] To develop new energy vehicles, various countries have launched national development plans. For example, my country aims to have over one million electric vehicles by 2025, and to largely eliminate fossil fuels from urban transportation by 2035. The China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) predicts that in 2023, sales of new energy passenger vehicles in China will reach 8.5 million units, while sales of conventional passenger vehicles will reach 23.5 million units, with an annual penetration rate of 36%. In the first half of 2023, production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 3.786 million and 3.747 million units respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 42.4% and 44.1%.
[0003] One of the key technologies for battery-powered new energy vehicles is battery cooling, which mainly falls into three categories: air cooling, liquid cooling, and direct cooling. Air cooling is widely used in electric buses, liquid cooling is more common in passenger cars, while direct cooling has the highest requirements and represents the future development direction of electric vehicles. With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the demand for aluminum alloys used in power battery water-cooling plates will continue to increase, typically 10-20 kg per battery.
[0004] There are two main types of brazed water-cooled structures commonly used in batteries: water-cooled plate structures and direct-cooled plate structures. For the water-cooled plate materials of these two types of components, the primary considerations are material strength and the product's corrosion resistance. High-strength composite materials combined with water-cooled plate structural designs can achieve the goals of thinning and cost reduction; therefore, the continuous development of new materials is a crucial foundation for the development of water-cooled plates. The yield strength of traditional Al-Mn aluminum alloys after brazing is generally between 40-80 MPa, and there is no significant room for improvement through conventional alloy element optimization and process optimization, which cannot meet the future demands for high-strength materials.

[0016] According to some embodiments of this application, the cold rolling is the process of rolling the hot-rolled coil into a cold-rolled coil of 1.0-3.0 mm through 3-4 passes.
[0017] According to some embodiments of this application, the annealing temperature is 350-370°C, and the holding time is 2-4 hours.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0027] This application provides a multilayer composite aluminum alloy for water-cooled plates. By optimizing the content and ratio of Mg and Si elements in the core material, the solidus temperature is made as high as possible to ensure that overheating does not occur during the brazing process.
[0028] The potential of the intermediate layer in this application is increased to -750 to -770 mV by adding a certain amount of Mn. The potential of the core alloy is increased to -720 to -735 mV by adding Fe and Cu elements with positive potential. This makes the potential of the intermediate layer more than 30 mV lower than that of the core material, which can play a sacrificial anode protection role for the core material. If the content of the above alloy components in the intermediate layer or the core material is further increased, the potential difference will be reduced, which is not conducive to the sacrificial anode protection role of the intermediate layer.

[0033] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] It should be particularly noted that similar substitutions and modifications made to this application are obvious to those skilled in the art, and they are all considered to be included in this application. Those skilled in the art can obviously make modifications or appropriate alterations and combinations to the methods and applications described herein without departing from the content, spirit, and scope of this application to implement and apply the technology of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0035] Unless otherwise specified, this application is conducted under standard conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The raw materials or excipients used, as well as the reagents or instruments used, whose manufacturers are not specified, are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially.
[0036] The following is a detailed description of this application.
[0037] The yield strength of existing Al-Mn alloys after brazing is generally between 40-80 MPa. Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloys can be strengthened by heat treatment; brazing at temperatures above 600℃ followed by artificial aging can improve their strength, making them stronger than Al-Mn alloys. However, the solidus temperature of Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloys is generally lower than that of Al-Mn alloys, making them prone to overheating during brazing at temperatures above 600℃, which negatively impacts their performance. Therefore, it is necessary to control the alloy composition.
[0038] Furthermore, Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloys have a high Mg content, which easily diffuses to the surface during brazing and reacts with the flux. The resulting compounds hinder the flow of the core material and affect the weld quality. Therefore, the proportion of the interlayer needs to be appropriate, and the larger the interlayer grains, the fewer grain boundaries there are, and the fewer channels for rapid diffusion of Mg atoms. In this application, the interlayer has a reasonable proportion and coarse grains, which can more effectively hinder the diffusion of Mg in the core material.
[0039] The Fe and Mn elements in the core alloy of this application absorb Si elements to form compounds such as AlFeSi or AlFeMnSi, thereby reducing the amount of Mg2Si formed in the alloy. To ensure the strength of the alloy, the alloy design must have excess Si elements to compensate for the loss caused by Fe, Mn, and other elements. However, if there is too much excess Si, Si is more likely to segregate at the grain boundaries, causing the alloy to become embrittled, reducing plasticity, and also reducing corrosion resistance. Therefore, the Mg / Si ratio of the core alloy in this application is 1.20-1.58.
[0040] Trace amounts of Cr have a significant impact on the recrystallization process, inhibiting it and refining the grains, thereby increasing the quenching sensitivity of the alloy. To minimize the quenching sensitivity of the alloy, the Cr content must be strictly controlled.
[0041] The water-cooled plate of this application uses a multi-layer composite aluminum alloy, wherein...
[0042] The core material composition and weight percentage are as follows: Si: 0.38-0.65%, Fe: 0.40-0.65%, Cu: 0.10-0.25%, Mn: ≤0.05%, Mg: 0.60-1.0%, Zn: ≤0.05%, Ti: ≤0.05%, Cr: ≤0.01%, Zr: ≤0.03%, other elements with individual content <0.03%, total content <0.15%, and the balance being aluminum;
[0043] The composition and weight percentage of the first and second intermediate layers are as follows: Si: 0.05-0.25%, Fe: 0.10-0.20%, Cu: ≤0.05%, Mn: 0.40-1.0%, Mg: ≤0.05%, Zn: ≤0.05%, Ti: ≤0.03%, other elements with individual content <0.03% and total content <0.15%, with the balance being aluminum;
[0044] The brazing layer is made of 4045 or 4343 aluminum alloy.
[0045] The processing method of the multilayer composite aluminum alloy for water-cooled plates in this application includes:
[0046] The core material, first intermediate layer, second intermediate layer and brazing layer alloy are batched according to element composition, melted, refined, settled, degassed and filtered, cast into ingots, and the head and tail are sawed and the surface is milled.
[0047] The first intermediate layer and the second intermediate layer brazing layer are hot rolled. The ingot after milling the first intermediate layer, the second intermediate layer and the brazing layer is heated and then hot rolled to a certain thickness.
[0048] After hot rolling, the layers are composite hot rolled: the four alloy layers, namely the first intermediate layer, the second intermediate layer and the brazing layer on one side of the core material, are combined in ingots in proportion and then hot rolled; the initial rolling temperature is 460-480℃, the hot rolled coil has a thickness of 6-8mm, the proportion of the first intermediate layer ingot is 8-20%, the proportion of the second intermediate layer ingot is 8-15%, and the proportion of the brazing layer ingot is 5-10%.
[0049] Hot-rolled coils are rolled into cold-rolled coils of 1.0-3.0 mm through 3-4 passes;
[0050] The cold-rolled coil is placed in an annealing furnace for annealing at a temperature of 350-370℃ and held for 2-4 hours before being removed from the furnace.
[0051] The annealed composite material is brazed at a temperature of 600-615℃ for 6-10 minutes. After brazing, the furnace door is opened to cool the material.
[0052] After brazing, artificial aging is performed at a temperature of 180-220℃ for 60-120 minutes, preferably at 200℃ for 120 minutes.
