DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by technicians in the technical field of the present invention, and the terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that "and / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B, which can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. Wherein A, B can be singular or plural. In the present application, "at least one" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more. "At least one", "the following at least one (individual)" or similar expressions thereof refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of singular (individual) or plural (individual). For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b and c", can both mean: a, b, c, ab (i.e. a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, c can be single or plural, respectively.
[0033] Adding silicon to aluminum alloy can improve strength and hardness, which is mainly because silicon can form two hardness phases, α(Al)+Si eutectic system and Si dissolved in the matrix alloy, which significantly increases the strength and hardness of aluminum alloy. Silicon can also strengthen the strength of aluminum matrix in aluminum alloy and increase the elastic modulus of aluminum alloy, making the material harder and tougher. At the same time, silicon can reduce the proportion of twinning and subgrains in aluminum alloy, improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy, and increase the tensile and compressive strength of the material. In addition, the addition of silicon can also improve corrosion resistance, which is mainly because silicon can form a thin and dense oxide layer with aluminum to prevent further corrosion of aluminum oxide. Silicon can also increase the intergranular corrosion potential in aluminum alloy, delay the occurrence of intergranular corrosion, and thus improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy, especially for aluminum-manganese alloy, the addition of silicon can significantly improve its corrosion resistance. Finally, the addition of silicon can also improve processing performance, which is mainly because silicon can make aluminum alloy have good casting performance and forming performance. Silicon can increase the liquid temperature range and liquid viscosity in aluminum alloy, thereby improving the material's flow performance and casting performance. In addition, silicon can also promote the recrystallization and grain refinement of aluminum alloy, making aluminum alloy easy to deform during processing and forming.
[0034] Adding nickel metal to aluminum alloy can also increase the strength of aluminum alloy and improve its heat resistance. The addition of nickel can improve the performance of aluminum alloy at high temperatures, improve its heat resistance, and enable it to maintain good strength and stability in high temperature environments.
[0035] Adding gallium metal to aluminum alloy can not only effectively improve the strength of aluminum alloy, but also generate different forms of binary compounds, such as Al2Ga, Al3Ga and Al4Ga, among which Al3Ga is the most stable compound, which can effectively enhance the strength and hardness of aluminum materials, especially in high temperature environment, and improve its wear resistance: after adding gallium, the wear resistance of aluminum alloy will also be improved, making it more suitable for manufacturing wear-resistant parts.
[0036] The addition of copper metal to aluminum alloy can significantly improve the strength and hardness of aluminum alloy, making aluminum alloy have better tensile strength and fatigue resistance, which is mainly due to the fact that copper can strengthen the grain boundary strength and solid solution strength in aluminum alloy. Copper can also improve the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy, especially in corrosive environments such as seawater, because copper increases the potential difference of aluminum alloy, thereby avoiding electrochemical corrosion of aluminum alloy. On the other hand, the addition of copper can also improve the processing performance of alloy, making aluminum alloy easier to process and form, because copper can improve the flowability of aluminum alloy, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of processing. On the other hand, the addition of copper can also effectively improve the heat resistance, so that aluminum alloy can be used in high temperature environment, because copper can promote the solid solution phase transformation in aluminum alloy and improve the grain boundary barrier of aluminum alloy, thereby improving the heat resistance of the material.
[0037] The addition of manganese metal to aluminum alloy can increase the strength of grain boundaries and hinder the slip of grain boundaries, thereby improving the strength and hardness of aluminum alloy. In addition, manganese can also promote the refinement of aluminum alloy grains. Fine grains help to further improve the strength and plasticity of the alloy, making it have better processing performance. In addition, the addition of manganese helps to reduce the heat treatment temperature of aluminum alloy and reduce energy consumption during processing, thereby improving production efficiency; the addition of manganese can also improve the formation of oxide film of aluminum alloy, form a dense oxide film, effectively prevent further oxidation of the alloy, thereby improving its corrosion resistance; the addition of manganese can also inhibit grain growth and precipitate dissolution, which helps to improve the thermal stability of the alloy; manganese can also form stable compounds with other elements, reduce the phase change and organizational changes of the alloy at high temperature, and maintain the performance stability of the alloy. Manganese can prevent the recrystallization process of aluminum alloy, increase the recrystallization temperature, and significantly refine the recrystallized grains. The refinement of recrystallized grains is mainly achieved by the hindering effect of MnAl compound dispersed particles on the growth of recrystallized grains.
[0038] Adding rhenium metal to aluminum alloy can also improve the hardness of aluminum alloy, and can also enhance wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Rhenium alloy has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, so adding rhenium metal to aluminum alloy can improve these properties and is suitable for various complex engineering environments. In addition, the addition of trace Zr elements to aluminum alloy gives the alloy good corrosion resistance and thermal cracking resistance.
