Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy processing technology, and specifically discloses a method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy reverse-extruded automotive bars. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, the role and importance of aluminum alloy extruded bars in automobile manufacturing are becoming increasingly prominent. 7-series aluminum extruded bars, as a lightweight and high-strength material, are also suitable for the automotive industry, used to manufacture automotive parts such as body structures, frames, engine parts, and transmission components. 7-series aluminum extruded bars provide high strength and rigidity while reducing vehicle weight, improving fuel economy and handling performance; their role and importance in automobile manufacturing cannot be ignored. As a representative of ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys, 7-series aluminum alloys possess excellent comprehensive properties, which can optimize the microstructure of forged workpieces and reduce microstructural defects. However, due to the high deformation resistance of 7-series aluminum alloys, slow extrusion speeds, and susceptibility to coarse grains and surface defects, online quenching and extrusion cannot be achieved in conventional production, significantly reducing production efficiency.

[0003] Reverse extrusion is one of the methods for producing aluminum alloy bars. During reverse extrusion, the metal flows uniformly, there is no friction, the required extrusion pressure is low, alloys with higher deformation resistance can be extruded, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the extruded products are basically the same across length, waste such as excess material is significantly reduced, and the yield is high. While reverse extrusion has these advantages, it also has disadvantages. During reverse extrusion, dead zones are generated on the surface of the extruded bar. These dead zones easily participate in the flow, leading to defects such as delamination, bubbles, and peeling on the product surface, resulting in a decline in surface quality. Furthermore, due to the structural limitations of reverse extrusion equipment, continuous production is not possible, significantly impacting production efficiency. To address these problems, it is essential to research and design a novel reverse extrusion method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy automotive bars, overcoming the existing issues in automotive bar reverse extrusion production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems encountered in the existing reverse extrusion production of automotive bars, such as the deterioration of product surface quality due to the participation of dead zones in the billet flow and the inability to produce continuously during the reverse extrusion process.

[0037] Example 1: This example provides a method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy reverse-extruded automotive bars, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0038] S1. Batching: Prepare aluminum alloy raw materials according to the following weight ratios: Si: ≤0.08%, Fe: ≤0.50%, Cu: 2.5%~2.55%, Mn: ≤0.07%, Mg: 2.4%~2.6%, Cr: 0.05%~0.1%, Zn: 6.8%~7.0%, Ti: 0.07%~0.1%, Zr: 0.15%~0.2%, Sc: 0.17%~0.2%, individual impurities ≤0.05%, total impurities ≤0.15%, balance Al;

[0039] S2. Melting and casting: The aluminum alloy raw material prepared in step S1 is placed into a melting furnace for melting and casting to obtain a casting rod;

[0040] S3. Homogenization of casting rods: The casting rods obtained in step S2 are subjected to a primary homogenization process and a secondary homogenization process to obtain round castings. The temperature of the primary homogenization annealing process is 305-315℃, and the holding time is 4-8 hours. The temperature of the secondary homogenization annealing process is 460-470℃, and the holding time is 20-23 hours.

[0041] S4. Extrusion: The round ingot from step S3 is placed into a reverse extrusion device for extrusion to obtain a bar. The reverse extrusion die includes a rear chamber 1 and a working belt 2 connected in sequence. The rear chamber 1 includes a first conical zone 1-1, a cylindrical zone 1-2, and a second conical zone 1-3 connected in sequence. The inlet diameter of the first conical zone 1-1 is larger than the outlet diameter, and the outlet diameter of the first conical zone 1-1 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical zone 1-2. The inlet diameter of the second conical zone 1-3 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical zone 1-2. The inlet diameter of the conical zone 1-3 is larger than the outlet diameter.

The round ingot is heated by a stepped heating method. The heating temperature of the head end of the round ingot is 390-410℃, the heating temperature of the tail end is 370-390℃, the extrusion cylinder temperature is 390-420℃, the heating temperature of the reverse extrusion die is 400-450℃, and the product speed is 3.5m / min-4m / min.

[0042] S5. Bar quenching, stretching and cutting: Quench the bar obtained in step S4 to obtain quenched bar, stretch and straighten the quenched bar and then cut it into the specified length.

[0043] S6. Aging treatment: The cut bars from step S5 are subjected to aging treatment at an aging temperature of 157-163℃ for 14 hours to obtain automotive bars.

[0044] Example 2: This example provides a method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy reverse-extruded automotive bars, including the following steps:

[0045] S1. Batching: The aluminum alloy raw materials are prepared according to the following weight ratios: Si: ≤0.08%, Fe: ≤0.50%, Cu: 2.5%~2.55%, Mn: ≤0.07%, Mg: 2.4%~2.6%, Cr: 0.05%~0.1%, Zn: 6.8%~7.0%, Ti: 0.07%~0.1%, Zr: 0.15%~0.2%, Sc: 0.17%~0.2%, individual impurities ≤0.05%, total impurities ≤0.15%, balance Al; In the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy system, Zn and Mg are the main strengthening elements. Adding Cu can improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy, but the Zn content should be controlled to not exceed 7%, otherwise the fracture toughness, weldability, and corrosion resistance of the alloy will deteriorate. In addition, when the Mg content exceeds the amount required to form MgZn2, it can play a supplementary role in strengthening the alloy. Zr has low quenching sensitivity and good hardenability and weldability of the alloy. The addition of trace element Sc, which forms Al3(Sc,Zr) particles with Zr, significantly improves the grain refinement effect, increases the recrystallization temperature, and refines the grains.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the ingredients can be: Si: ≤0.05%, Fe: ≤0.39%, Cu: 2.52%~2.54%, Mn: ≤0.05%, Mg: 2.53%~2.58%, Cr: 0.07%~0.09%, Zn: 6.88%~6.95%, Ti: 0.08%~0.09%, Zr: 0.17%~0.19%, Sc: 0.17%~0.18%, with individual impurities ≤0.05%, total impurities ≤0.15%, and the balance being Al;

[0047] S2. Melting and casting: The aluminum alloy raw material prepared in step S1 is placed into a melting furnace for melting and casting to obtain a casting rod;

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, specifically, during the casting process, a semi-continuous casting method is used. During the casting process, foam ceramic filtration is used, Al-Ti-B wire is used to refine the grains, the melting temperature is 690℃-750℃, the refining temperature is 720℃-740℃, the amount of refining agent is 2.8kg / TAl, the amount of waste added is ≤10%, and the amount of hydrogen is 0.15ml / 100g.

[0049] S3. Homogenization of the cast rod: The cast rod obtained in step S2 is subjected to a primary homogenization process and a secondary homogenization process to obtain a round ingot. The temperature of the primary homogenization annealing process is 305-315℃, and the holding time is 4-8 hours; the temperature of the secondary homogenization annealing process is 460-470℃, and the holding time is 20-23 hours. By setting the primary and secondary homogenization processes, segregation in the round ingot can be effectively eliminated, and the size and distribution of precipitated phases in the round ingot can be controlled, thereby greatly improving the strength and recrystallization temperature of the alloy, reducing the deformation resistance of the round ingot, and increasing extrudability. This can ensure the performance of the produced automotive rod while improving the alloy fluidity and surface quality.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, specifically, the temperature of the first-stage homogenization annealing process is 310°C, and the holding time is 6.5 hours; the temperature of the second-stage homogenization annealing process is 470°C, and the holding time is 22 hours; the resulting round ingot can be a Φ247mm round ingot.

[0051] S4. Extrusion: The round ingot from step S3 is placed into a reverse extrusion device for extrusion to obtain a bar. The reverse extrusion die is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the reverse extrusion die includes a rear chamber 1 and a working belt 2 connected in sequence. The rear chamber 1 includes a first conical region 1-1, a cylindrical region 1-2, and a second conical region 1-3 connected in sequence. The inlet diameter of the first conical region 1-1 is larger than its outlet diameter, and the outlet diameter of the first conical region 1-1 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical region 1-2. The inlet diameter of the second conical region 1-3 is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical region 1-2, and the inlet diameter of the second conical region 1-3 is larger than its outlet diameter. The second conical region 1-3 is connected to the working belt 2, and the outlet diameter of the second conical region 1-3 is equal to the diameter of the working belt 2. Heating is achieved through a stepped heating method. The round ingot is heated to 390–410°C at the head and 370–390°C at the tail. The extrusion cylinder is heated to 390–420°C, and the reverse extrusion die is heated to 400–450°C. The product speed is 3.5 m / min–4 m / min. The conventional flat die for bar extrusion is designed with an angled concave structure. Compared to conventional dies, the die angle is reduced, improving the uniformity of metal flow. The reduced die angle also reduces the dead zone volume, significantly mitigating defects such as layering, bubbles, and peeling caused by metal flowing to the product surface in the dead zone. This improves the surface quality of the extruded bar and reduces the extrusion pressure. Simultaneously, the addition of a first conical zone 1-1 and a second conical zone 1-3 increases the aluminum storage capacity of the die, preventing insufficient aluminum storage from disrupting continuous extrusion. In this embodiment, after the aluminum alloy round ingot is extruded, a blank is retained in the concave die and welded to the next ingot for continuous online production, improving production efficiency.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment, specifically, the angle between the sidewall of the first conical region 1-1 and the axis can be 68° to 71°, and the angle between the sidewall of the second conical region 1-3 and the axis can be 56.5° to 60°; the distance from the inlet to the outlet of the first conical region 1-1 can be 25mm; the distance from the inlet to the outlet of the cylindrical region 1-2 can be 25mm; the distance from the inlet to the outlet of the second conical region 1-3 can be 15mm; the diameter of the cylindrical region 1-2 can be 81mm, producing automotive bar stock with a diameter of 81mm;

[0053] S5. Bar quenching, stretching and cutting: Quench the bar obtained in step S4 to obtain quenched bar, stretch and straighten the quenched bar and then cut it into the specified length.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, the cooling method during quenching is water cooling, the temperature in the quenching zone is 420-450℃, and the temperature exiting the quenching zone is ≤50℃; during the tensile straightening process, the tensile rate is 0.5%-1%.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the automotive bar is 81 mm.

[0153] Comparative Example 1 provides a method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy reverse-extruded automotive bars. The method uses the proportions from Example 3 to prepare the aluminum alloy raw materials. The difference from Example 3 is that a conventional reverse-extruded die is used for extrusion. The specific steps include:

[0154] S1. Batching: Prepare aluminum alloy raw materials according to the following weight ratios: Si: 0.07%, Fe: 0.13%, Cu: 2.52%, Mn: 0.05%, Mg: 2.49%, Cr: 0.06%, Zn: 6.88%, Ti: 0.08%, Zr: 0.16%, Sc: 0.18%, single impurity: 0.05%, balance Al;

[0155] S2. Melting and Casting: The aluminum alloy raw materials prepared in step S1 are placed into a melting furnace for melting and casting to obtain a cast ingot. A semi-continuous casting method is used during melting and casting. Foam ceramic filtration and Al-Ti-B wire are used to refine the grains. The melting temperature is 690℃-750℃, the refining temperature is 720℃-740℃, the refining agent dosage is 2.8kg / TAl, the waste addition is ≤10%, and the hydrogen content is 0.15ml / 100g. The slag content of the ingot meets the secondary requirements of GB / T32186-2015.

[0156] S3. Homogenization of casting rods: The casting rods obtained in step S2 are subjected to a primary homogenization process and a secondary homogenization process to obtain round castings. The temperature of the primary homogenization annealing process is 310℃ and the holding time is 6.5 hours; the temperature of the secondary homogenization annealing process is 470℃ and the holding time is 22 hours.

[0157] S4. Extrusion: The round ingot from step S3 is placed into a reverse extrusion device for extrusion to obtain a bar. The extrusion die is a conventional bar extrusion die without a conical part. The round ingot is heated by a stepped heating method. The bar is produced by a 20MN reverse aluminum extrusion press with a diameter of 81mm. The round ingot is 247mm in diameter. The heating temperature of the head end of the round ingot is 405℃, the heating temperature of the tail end is 385℃, the heating temperature of the bar extrusion die is 440℃, and the temperature of the extrusion cylinder is 403℃.

[0158] In this embodiment, the surface of the extruded profile made by extruding bar stock through a flat die suffers from severe peeling, and continuous extrusion is not possible.

[0159] Comparative Example 2 provides a method for producing 7-series aluminum alloy reverse-extruded automotive bars. It uses the extrusion equipment and reverse-extruded die from Example 3 for extrusion. Unlike Example 3, this comparative example only employs a single homogenization process, specifically including the following steps:

[0160] S1. Batching: Prepare aluminum alloy raw materials according to the following weight ratios: Si: 0.07%, Fe: 0.13%, Cu: 2.52%, Mn: 0.05%, Mg: 2.49%, Cr: 0.06%, Zn: 6.88%, Ti: 0.08%, Zr: 0.16%, Sc: 0.18%, single impurity: 0.05%, balance Al;

[0161] S2. Melting and Casting: The aluminum alloy raw materials prepared in step S1 are placed into a melting furnace for melting and casting to obtain a cast ingot. A semi-continuous casting method is used during melting and casting. Foam ceramic filtration and Al-Ti-B wire are used to refine the grains. The melting temperature is 690℃-750℃, the refining temperature is 720℃-740℃, the refining agent dosage is 2.8kg / TAl, the waste addition is ≤10%, and the hydrogen content is 0.15ml / 100g. The slag content of the ingot meets the secondary requirements of GB / T32186-2015.

[0162] S3. Homogenization of casting rod: The casting rod obtained in step S2 is homogenized. Unlike Example 3, this comparative example only uses one homogenization. The homogenization temperature is 470°C and the holding time is 22h.

[0163] S4. Extrusion: The round ingot from step S3 is placed into a reverse extrusion device for extrusion to obtain a bar. The reverse extrusion die includes a first conical zone 1-1, a cylindrical zone 1-2, a second conical zone 1-3, and a working zone 2 connected in sequence. The angle between the side wall of the first conical zone 1-1 and the axis is 69.3°, and the angle between the side wall of the second conical zone 1-3 and the axis is 58.5°. The round ingot is heated by a stepped heating method, and Φ81mm bars are produced by a 20 MN reverse aluminum extrusion press. The round ingot is Φ247mm. The heating temperature of the head end of the round ingot is 405℃, the heating temperature of the tail end is 385℃, the heating temperature of the reverse extrusion die is 440℃, and the temperature of the extrusion cylinder is 403℃.

[0164] S5. Quenching, stretching and cutting of bar stock: Quenching of the bar stock obtained in step S4 is carried out by water cooling. The quenching temperature is 443℃ and the temperature outside the quenching zone is ≤50℃. The quenched bar stock is then stretched and straightened with a stretching rate of 0.5%-1%. The stretched and straightened bar stock is then cut into the specified length.

[0165] S6. Aging treatment: The cut bars from step S5 are subjected to aging treatment at a temperature of 160℃ for 14 hours to obtain automotive bars.

Test method: GB / T16865-2013 Tensile testing of wrought aluminum, magnesium and their alloy processed products.
