[0002] Meeting the requirements of "lightweighting" has become an inevitable trend in the automotive industry. Aluminum alloys have advantages such as light weight, high strength, and good corrosion resistance, and are therefore widely used in the automotive parts manufacturing industry. Currently, large aluminum alloy parts used in automobiles mainly include components such as body shock absorber towers, chassis subframes, and control arms, most of which are manufactured using low-pressure casting processes. Compared to low-pressure casting, high-vacuum integrated die casting significantly improves production efficiency and can produce more complex and thinner-walled parts. After parts are formed using high-vacuum integrated die casting, heat treatment is not recommended to precisely control deformation and dimensional accuracy.

The tensile strength, yield strength, elongation after fracture, and flow distance of this aluminum alloy are all worse than those of Examples 1, 2, and 3. Furthermore, in Examples 1, 2, and 3, the flow distance of the aluminum alloy improved as the composition values ​​of the heat-free aluminum alloy decreased.

[0044] Specifically, to prevent the generation of water vapor and sparks during the preparation of aluminum alloys, it is necessary to preheat industrial pure aluminum, pure magnesium, and various required intermediate alloys at an environment of 200-220°C. Pure aluminum, pure magnesium, and various required intermediate alloys are calculated and weighed according to the mass percentage of the chemical composition of each intermediate alloy, so that the composition of the aluminum alloy meets the pre-set standards.

[0045] S302, the first material is added to the melting furnace and subjected to the first alloying treatment and the first refining and slag removal to obtain the first alloy melt; wherein, the first material includes pure Al, Al-Si master alloy, Al-Fe master alloy, Al-Mo master alloy, Al-V master alloy, Al-Zn master alloy, and Al-Cr master alloy.

The first alloying treatment and the first refining and slag removal are carried out to stir the raw materials until all the raw materials are melted to form a uniform alloy melt. Impurities and impure substances in the metal are removed to improve the purity and quality of the metal, thereby obtaining the first alloy melt.

[0047] Alloying refers to the process of adding elements to make a metal into an alloy (under certain process conditions) with the desired properties. To ensure the various physical and chemical properties of steel, alloying additives are added to adjust its composition to a specified range. Elements that are not present or present in small amounts in ordinary steel (C, Si, Mn, S, or P) are all alloying elements. Alloying additives can be pure materials (nickel, copper, aluminum, graphite powder, etc.), ferroalloys (ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, ferrovanadium, ferrochrome, etc.), or compounds of alloying elements (oxides, carbides, nitrides, etc.). In steelmaking, deoxidation and alloying are generally carried out almost simultaneously, and sometimes it is impossible to completely separate deoxidizing and alloying elements. However, the purposes and physicochemical reaction processes of deoxidation and alloying are different. Refining slag formation is a commonly used metal smelting process used to remove impurities and impurities from metals, improving their purity and quality.

During metal smelting, due to the influence of raw materials, reducing agents, and additives, metals often contain impurities and impurities such as oxides, sulfides, nitrides, and carbides. These impurities and impurities reduce the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance of the metal, and also adversely affect subsequent processing and use. Refining and slag formation can effectively remove these impurities and impurities, improving the quality of the metal.
