[0125] Table 1

[0126] As can be seen from the performance test results of Comparative Examples 6 and 7 and Example 1, after adding cerium (Ce) and boron (B) to the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, the electrical conductivity and fatigue resistance of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy are both improved, which indicates that the addition of Ce and B can refine the grain, remove impurities, and improve the electrical conductivity and fatigue resistance of the aluminum alloy.

[0127] As can be seen from the performance test results of Comparative Example 8 and Example 1, when too much iron (Fe) is added, the amount of iron (Fe) is 4 times the amount of silicon (Si), which reduces the electrical conductivity and fatigue resistance of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, which may be due to the effect of too much iron (Fe) on the grain precipitation behavior of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, the grain precipitation rate slows down, the amount decreases, and it becomes difficult to precipitate; by controlling the amount of iron (Fe) to be (3.0-3.5) times the amount of silicon (Si), the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy can be improved from 44.3% IACS to 62.4% IACS, which is more than 40% improvement in electrical conductivity, the fatigue strength is improved from 176 MPa to 220 MPa, which is more than 25% improvement in fatigue strength, and the electrical conductivity and fatigue resistance of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy are significantly improved.

[0128] As can be seen from the performance test results of Comparative Example 9 and Example 1, when only secondary aging treatment is performed, the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy is 60.1% IACS, and the fatigue strength is only 121 MPa, and when tertiary temperature increasing aging treatment is performed, the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy is improved to 62.4% IACS, and the fatigue strength is only 220 MPa, which is about 4% improvement in electrical conductivity, and more than 80% improvement in fatigue strength, which shows that the third aging treatment at a temperature of 75-190°C can significantly improve the grain microstructure of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, significantly improving the fatigue strength, and also improving the electrical conductivity to a certain extent.

[0129] As can be seen from the performance test results of Comparative Examples 10 and 11 and Example 1, cryogenic treatment using liquid nitrogen has a greater effect on the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, and stress relief at 150°C has a greater effect on the fatigue strength of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy; therefore, the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy can be subjected to liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment or stress relief at 150°C as needed; for example, to improve the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy, the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy can be subjected to one more liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment or two liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatments on the basis of three liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatments, as shown in Examples 4-5, which can improve the electrical conductivity of the Al-Mg-Si aluminum alloy from 62.4% IACS to 63.9% IACS and 64.2% IACS.

[0130] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
