Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy technology, and more specifically to a method for preparing a high-conductivity aluminum alloy and its profile products. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, aluminum alloys have become an important choice in the field of conductive materials due to their excellent electrical conductivity, and are widely used in high-speed rail conductive rails, magnetic levitation track induction plates, and instrument housings. These applications not only require materials with high electrical conductivity, but also good mechanical properties.
[0003] While aluminum alloys possess superior mechanical properties, their electrical conductivity is relatively weak. The mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of aluminum alloys are primarily influenced by their alloy composition and microstructure. However, simultaneously improving the strength and electrical conductivity of an alloy is challenging, as these two goals are often contradictory. For example, processes such as solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening, dispersion strengthening, and grain refinement can increase the strength of an alloy, but at the same time, they can decrease its electrical conductivity. This is because an increase in lattice defects and aggravation of lattice distortion in the alloy increases dislocation resistance, thereby improving strength; however, these defects and distortions also increase electron scattering, leading to a decrease in electrical conductivity.
[0004] In the prior art, CN201911372828.9 discloses a high conductivity 6-series aluminum alloy and its manufacturing process. The high conductivity 6-series aluminum alloy is formulated from the following elemental components in weight percentages: Si: 0.55–0.60%, Fe:
[0005] The alloy composition is as follows: Cu: 0.10–0.15%, Mn: 0.01–0.02%, Mg: 0.60–0.65%, Cr: 0.01–0.02%, Ti ≤ 0.01%, Zn: 0.05–0.08%, V ≤ 0.01%, Gd: 0.15–0.18%, B: 0.015–0.02%, with individual impurities ≤ 0.03% and total impurities ≤ 0.10%, the balance being Al. Through improvements in formulation and process, the aluminum alloy achieves a tensile strength of 250 MPa, a yield strength of 210 MPa, an elongation after fracture of 16.7%, an electrical conductivity γ = 32.52 MS / m, and a hardness HB = 65. However, when applied to high-speed rail conductive rails, magnetic levitation track induction plates, and instrument housings, the aluminum alloy exhibits low strength, and its mechanical properties fail to meet the application requirements.
[0006] CN202311142033.5 discloses a high-strength, high-conductivity aluminum alloy material, its preparation method, and its applications. The aluminum alloy material comprises: Mg 0.38-0.64 wt.%, Si 0.28-0.52 wt.%, B 0.04-0.08 wt.%, Re 0.08-0.12 wt.%, Sc 0.05-0.08 wt.%, B 0.04-0.08 wt.%, (Cr+Mn+V+Ti) ≤0.01 wt.%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities. The preparation method includes: sequentially processing the raw materials according to the formula through melting, horizontal continuous casting, continuous welding and extrusion, alternating forward and reverse drawing, and artificial aging. Through dual optimization design of composition and preparation process, the impurity content of the aluminum alloy material is effectively reduced, the microstructure of the aluminum alloy material is improved, and the high strength of the material is ensured while increasing its conductivity. However, the production cost of high-strength, high-conductivity aluminum alloy materials prepared by this method is high, and the process and operation steps are relatively complex, which is not conducive to mass production.
[0007] Therefore, manufacturing aluminum alloy profiles that possess both high conductivity and high strength presents significant challenges. Simultaneously, traditional aluminum alloy production processes are facing challenges due to their high energy consumption. Maintaining alloy performance while reducing production costs to achieve more environmentally friendly and economical manufacturing methods has become a major issue facing the aluminum alloy manufacturing industry.

[0087]
[0088] The aluminum alloy profiles obtained in Examples 1-3 all exhibit tensile strengths exceeding 350 MPa and electrical conductivity greater than 55% IACS, demonstrating the rationality of the material composition design and preparation process in this invention. Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 contained 0.95% Si and 1.0% Mg, with a Mg / Si ratio of 1.05. The results showed that the strength of the aluminum alloy profiles prepared by this method was reduced, indicating that the Mg / Si ratio significantly affects the mechanical properties of the alloy. Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 2 contained 0.15% Cu and 0.35% Fe.

Higher Cu content results in higher alloy conductivity, while excessive Fe leads to a significant decrease in conductivity and affects its mechanical properties. Compared to Example 1, Comparative Example 3 employed a traditional long-term homogenization treatment. The results showed that the product prepared in Comparative Example 3 was essentially identical in performance to the product prepared in Example 1, exhibiting good mechanical properties and high conductivity. This demonstrates that the difference between long-term and short-term homogenization has little effect on the high-conductivity aluminum alloy and its profile products in this invention. Therefore, the short-process preparation method using short-term or no homogenization is preferable. Furthermore, using the method of this invention to prepare high-conductivity aluminum alloy and its profile products can effectively reduce time and transportation costs, and improve production efficiency.
