Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloys, and in particular to a high-strength and lightweight cast aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Among nonferrous metals, aluminum and aluminum alloys are the most commonly used metal structural materials. However, the strength of industrial pure aluminum is very low, so it is not suitable for use as a load-bearing structural component. Usually, a certain proportion of alloying elements is added to pure aluminum to obtain an aluminum alloy with high strength and good casting performance. Aluminum alloys can be divided into two types according to the molding process: cast aluminum alloys and deformed aluminum alloys. Cast aluminum alloys refer to aluminum alloys that are made of parts or blanks by casting methods such as car casting or die casting. Cast aluminum alloys contain a relatively large number of alloying elements, have high strength and excellent plasticity, high temperature performance and cutting performance, and are widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, mechanical electronics, building materials, ships and other fields.

[0003] The rapid development of aerospace, automobile and other industrial fields has led to an increasingly urgent demand for lightweight, high-performance metal materials. Due to its high specific strength and low density, it has received extensive attention and research. The cast structure of aluminum alloys often faces problems such as coarse grains and severe segregation, which will cause the performance of aluminum alloys to fail to meet the production needs of subsequent processing.

[0016] Furthermore, the amount of the refining agent added in step (2) is 1.5‰ of the weight of the alloy liquid.

[0017] Furthermore, the refining agent in step (2) is prepared by mixing potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, graphite powder, hexachloroethane and sodium chloride in a mass ratio of 32-40:2-8:1-6:10-15:20-32.
