Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a high-toughness aluminum alloy material, in particular to a solid solution strengthening type Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material and a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of new material preparation. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aluminum alloy is the most widely used metal structural material at present due to its excellent strength-weight ratio and good machinability, and is widely used in the manufacture of aerospace industrial structural parts. When a traditional subtractive manufacturing method is used, the geometric complexity of many aerospace parts may cause manufacturing challenges. However, the additive manufacturing process is suitable for application in this field due to the low volume, high value and geometric complexity of the parts to be manufactured. Laser powder bed fusion technology (LPBF) has become one of the most widely used AM technologies and has developed from a rapid prototyping technology to a mature industrial reality. LPBF has been applied to the production of various engineering alloys such as steel, titanium, nickel and aluminum alloy. The production-related problems of aluminum alloy such as high reflectivity, high thermal conductivity, strong oxidation tendency and wide solidification range often lead to defects such as cracks and shrinkage holes in the sample production cycle, so that the types of commercial aluminum alloys are relatively limited.

[0003] At present, the main alloys that can be stably printed into shapes are cast Al-Si alloys with near-eutectic composition, good fluidity and low thermal tear sensitivity. However, the strength of the alloy is mostly only 400-500 MPa, which cannot meet the demand of industry for high-toughness aluminum alloy. In contrast, some precipitation hardening alloys (such as 2xxx and 7xxx) can provide higher strengthening potential, but often have a large liquidus-solidus temperature range and high cracking sensitivity, resulting in poor forming performance. In addition, non-heat-treated wrought alloys (such as 1xxx, 3xxx and 5xxx) mainly achieve high strength through solid solution hardening and cold working. However, it is usually impossible to perform cold working in LPBF, and these alloys can also easily crack during printing. These precipitation hardening alloys and non-heat-treated wrought alloys need to add noble metals such as Sc and Zr or ceramic particles such as TiB2 and SiC to improve their formability in order to achieve high toughness. This will greatly increase the preparation cost, complicate the industrial process, and is not suitable for large-scale industrial production. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems in the prior art, a first object of the present application is to provide a solid solution strengthened Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material, which is prepared by mixing Al-Mg2Si powder and Al-Mg powder, and based on the solid solution strengthening effect of Mg element and the effect of Mg and Mg2Si on improving the growth restriction factor of the alloy, the grain size of the alloy material is greatly refined to form a crack-resistant system, so that the forming property of the material is realized while the mechanical properties of the alloy material are ensured.

[0005] A second object of the present application is to provide a preparation method of the solid solution strengthened Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material, which uses Al-Mg2Si powder and Al-Mg powder with different particle sizes, and based on the synergistic effect of the components in the raw materials, the characteristics of rapid solidification of additive manufacturing are fully utilized, and the forming property and mechanical property of the material are further controlled by adjusting the process parameters, so that the rapid forming of high strength and toughness alloy is realized.

[0006] A third object of the present application is to provide an application of the solid solution strengthened Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material, which is used for preparing aerospace complex parts. The alloy material provided by the present application is based on the solid solution strengthening of Mg element and the fine-grain strengthening of Mg and Mg2Si, and without additional addition of noble metal elements and other strengthening elements, the high density and strength and toughness of the alloy can be realized. According to tests, the relative density of the alloy material provided by the present application is 99.9%, the forming property is good, the maximum tensile strength is 540 MPa, the yield strength is 396 MPa, and the elongation is 10.8%, which meets the requirements of aerospace complex parts.

[0007] To achieve the above technical objects, the present application provides a preparation method of a solid solution strengthened Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material, which comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing raw materials including Al-Mg2Si alloy powder and Al-Mg powder, and then 3D printing to obtain the Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material; the particle size of the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 20-60 μm, the particle size of the Al-Mg powder is 10-40 μm, the mass ratio of the Al-Mg powder to the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 1:1-50, and the characteristic structure of the Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material comprises fine equiaxed cellular structure composed of Mg2Si and Mg.

[0008] The preparation method provided by the present application uses Al-Mg2Si powder and Al-Mg powder with different particle sizes, based on the synergistic effect of the components in the raw materials, the characteristics of rapid solidification of additive manufacturing are fully utilized, and the forming property and mechanical property of the material are further controlled by adjusting the process parameters, so that the rapid forming of high strength and toughness alloy is realized.

[0009] The particle size of the raw materials used in the present application must be strictly in accordance with the above requirements. If the particle size of the Al-Mg2Si powder and the Al-Mg powder is too large, it is easy to cause adhesion and agglomeration, which can lead to high surface roughness of the metal sample obtained by printing, and reduce the formability.

[0010] The ratio between the raw materials used in the present application must be strictly in accordance with the above requirements. If the addition ratio of Al-Mg is too small, it can lead to a decrease in the solid solution Mg element in the alloy, greatly reducing the effect of solid solution strengthening. In addition, the effect of grain refinement is also reduced, resulting in lower mechanical properties. When the addition ratio of Al-Mg is too large, it can lead to an increase in the crack sensitivity of the alloy, reducing the formability of the alloy.

[0011] As a preferred scheme, the mass percentage composition of the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is: 6-12% Mg2Si, and the balance is Al.

[0012] As a preferred scheme, the mass percentage composition of the Al-Mg alloy powder is: 5-15% Mg, and the balance is Al.

[0013] As a preferred scheme, the purity of the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder and the Al-Mg powder is ≥99.9%.

[0014] As a preferred scheme, the raw materials of the Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material further include Ca.

[0015] As a preferred scheme, the content of Ca is 0.5-1% of the total mass percentage of the alloy material. Ca element can be introduced by Ca element or Al2Ca. The presence of Ca element can greatly reduce the volatilization of Mg during printing, further reducing the production cost.

[0016] As a preferred scheme, the particle size of the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is greater than or equal to the particle size of the Al-Mg powder.

[0017] As a preferred scheme, the mass ratio of the Al-Mg powder to the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 1:5-20. When the content of Mg2Si in the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 7-10%, and the content of Mg in the Al-Mg alloy powder is 8-12%, the main process parameters for 3D printing forming are: main laser power 270-310 W, scanning speed 600-1000 mm / s; scanning interval 0.11-0.15 mm, powder laying thickness 0.03-0.05 mm, scanning area width 8-12 mm, and substrate temperature 90-110°C.

[0018] As a preferred scheme, the mass ratio of the Al-Mg powder to the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 1:8, the Mg2Si content in the Al-Mg2Si alloy powder is 8%, and the Mg content in the Al-Mg alloy powder is 10%, and the main process parameters of 3D printing forming are as follows: the main laser power is 290 W, the scanning speed is 800 mm / s, the scanning interval is 0.12 mm, the powder laying thickness is 0.04 mm, the scanning area width is 10 mm, and the substrate temperature is 100 DEG C.

[0019] Within the mass ratio range of Al-Mg to Al-Mg2Si provided in the application, with the increase of the Mg content, the grain refinement effect of the alloy is better, and the alloy is more resistant to cracking, so that the laser power is lower, the scanning speed is larger, and the scanning interval is larger, so that the laser energy density is low, and the formability is better; with the increase of the Mg2Si content in Al-Mg2Si, the required laser energy density is high, so that the laser power is larger, the scanning speed is smaller, and the scanning interval is smaller, and the formability is better, so that the process parameters of different Al-Mg and Mg2Si contents should be strictly selected according to the requirements of the application.

[0020] The application further provides a solid solution strengthening type Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material prepared by the preparation method.

[0021] As a preferred scheme, the Mg element in the alloy material enters the alpha-Al matrix and the cellular structure in the form of solid solution. The fine equiaxed cellular structure composed of Mg2Si and Mg can play a grain refinement strengthening role. Most of the Mg elements exist in the form of solid solution, and play a solid solution strengthening role. The organizational structure characteristics of the above-mentioned alloy material are realized by using the rapid solidification characteristics of additive manufacturing.

[0022] As a preferred scheme, the growth restriction factor of the alloy material is 24-49K.

[0023] The hot cracks can be eliminated by refining the grains, and then forming a crack-resistant system. Currently, the 2-7 series alloy printing usually uses a large amount of Sc, Zr and ceramic particles and other heterogeneous nucleation to refine the grains, which has a high cost. The application ingeniously realizes grain refinement through the synergistic effect of Mg and Mg2Si. The higher growth restriction factor indicates that the grain refinement effect is better, and the formability is better. The growth restriction factor of the Al-Mg2Si-Mg in the application is 24-49K, which has a large growth restriction factor, ensures the excellent forming performance of the alloy material, and the obtained alloy material has no cracks and high relative density.

[0024] The growth restriction factor of the alloy material provided in the application is strictly executed according to the above requirements. When the growth restriction factor is too low, the grain refinement effect is not obvious, cracks are easy to produce, and the forming performance is poor.

[0025] The application also provides an application of the solid solution strengthening type Al-Mg2Si-Mg alloy material to preparation of integral aerospace parts.

[0026] The alloy material provided by the application takes full advantage of the characteristics of rapid solidification of additive manufacturing, controls forming through a growth restriction factor, and realizes the combination of good formability and mechanical properties through solid solution strengthening of a large amount of Mg and adjustment of process parameters, so that the goal of formability synergy is achieved; the alloy material can realize production of complex parts and meet the mechanical requirements of lightweight materials in aerospace and high-speed rail.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the application has the beneficial technical effects that:

[0028] 1) The alloy material provided by the application mixes Al-Mg powder and Al-Mg2Si, is based on solid solution strengthening of Mg elements, and can improve the growth restriction factor of the alloy and greatly refine the grain size of the alloy material to form a crack-resistant system, so that good formability is realized while the mechanical properties of the alloy material are ensured.

[0029] 2) In the technical solution provided by the application, Al-Mg2Si powder and Al-Mg powder with different particle sizes are used, the characteristics of rapid solidification of additive manufacturing are fully utilized based on the synergistic effect of components between raw materials, and the formability and mechanical properties of the material are further controlled through adjustment of process parameters, so that rapid forming of a high-strength and high-toughness alloy is realized.

[0030] 3) The alloy material provided by the application is based on solid solution strengthening of Mg elements and fine-grain strengthening of Mg and Mg2Si, and can realize high density and high strength and toughness of the alloy without additional addition of noble metal elements and strengthening elements; according to tests, the relative density of the alloy material provided by the application is 99.9%, the formability is good, the maximum tensile strength is 540 MPa, the yield strength is 396 MPa, and the elongation is 10.8%, which meets the requirements of complex parts in aerospace.
