[0025] The alloy material preparation reaction mechanism of the present invention is:

[0026] First, silicon (Si), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), and zinc (Zn) in the present invention are all main alloying elements of aluminum alloy materials. According to the content of the main alloying elements, aluminum alloy materials can be divided into different systems with different performance characteristics. The selection and content of the main alloying elements in the present invention are determined from the following aspects:

[0027] (1) Taking advantage of the high solubility and supersaturation of Mn and Mg elements in aluminum alloys, and utilizing their strong solid solution strengthening effect, the strength of the alloy material is improved;

[0028] (2) Si, Mg, Cu, and Zn elements can form nanoscale materials such as β, η, S and their metastable phases β', η', S' in aluminum alloys, hinder dislocation migration, produce strong precipitation strengthening effects, and improve the strength of alloy materials;

[0029] (3) In addition to precipitation, some Si, Cu, and Zn elements are still dissolved in the matrix lattice, producing a certain degree of solid solution strengthening effect and improving the strength of the alloy material.

[0030] Secondly, hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), cobalt (Co), and tungsten (W) are transition metal elements, and their melting points and densities are much higher than aluminum. According to the phase diagram, these elements can form Al3Hf, Al3Zr, Al9Co2, Al 12 W intermetallic compound;

[0031] When these elements co-exist in an aluminum alloy system and their contents are low, these elements interact with each other to form a chemical formula: Al3(Hf a ,Zr b ,Co c ,W d) complex intermetallic compounds, where (a+b+c+d=1, a≤1, b≤1, c≤1, d≤1), and Al3Hf, Al3Zr, Al9Co2, Al12W intermetallic compounds coexist. These substances can provide an effective heterogeneous nucleation interface for the nucleation of α-Al during the solidification of aluminum alloy liquid casting, reduce the energy barrier for the nucleation of α-Al grains, increase the nucleation rate, and refine the ingot grains on a macro scale. In addition, the above elements gradually precipitate nano-scale intermetallic compounds during a series of heat treatments of the material, such as homogenization, hot extrusion, solution treatment, artificial aging, etc., which have the effect of improving the strength of the alloy material.

[0032] At the same time, indium (In) is a transition metal element and also a rare metal element. Adding a small amount of In element can accelerate the precipitation of nano-scale substances such as β, η, S and their metastable phases β', η', S' from the supersaturated solid solution and shorten the artificial aging process; Beryllium (Be) element is an alkaline earth metal element. After adding it to the aluminum alloy, it can reduce the burnout of Mg element in the alloy, and also play a role in controlling the hydrogen content in the alloy. Titanium (Ti) and boron (B) elements are added through aluminum-titanium-boron master alloy. Adding aluminum-titanium-boron master alloy online in the flow trough can have a certain grain refinement effect on the aluminum alloy ingot.

[0033] Finally, rare earth elements praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), and europium (Eu) can form Al 11 If the intermetallic compounds of Pr3, Al3Nd and Al3Eu exist in aluminum alloy at the same time and their contents are low, Al3(Pr x ,Nd y ,Eu z ) complex intermetallic compounds, where x+y+z=1, x≤1, y≤1, z≤1, and Al 11 Pr3, Al3Nd, Al3Eu intermetallic compounds. These substances can provide an effective heterogeneous nucleation interface for the nucleation of α-Al during the solidification of aluminum alloy liquid casting, reduce the energy barrier for the nucleation of α-Al grains, increase the nucleation rate, and refine the ingot grains on a macro scale. In addition, these substances can also hinder the dislocations generated during the deformation of aluminum alloys, promote the nucleation of recrystallized grains during the recrystallization process, and refine the recrystallized grains, so that the aluminum alloy material can retain a certain processing state structure and have a large number of fine non-distorted recrystallized structures, while improving the strength and plasticity of the aluminum alloy material.

[0034] In summary, the present invention adopts the above technical solution, and the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0035] (1) The present invention utilizes rare earth elements praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), and europium (Eu) to improve the mechanical properties and plasticity of aluminum alloy materials in multiple aspects, thereby improving the toughness, fatigue resistance and other indicators of the material.

[0036] (2) The present invention comprehensively utilizes hafnium (Hf), zirconium (Zr), cobalt (Co), tungsten (W), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), europium (Eu) and aluminum-titanium-boron master alloy to perform grain refinement treatment on alloy ingots from multiple aspects, so as to reduce the grain size and weaken segregation. It can effectively improve the organizational structure of aluminum alloy and improve the comprehensive performance, so as to improve the strength of aluminum alloy and its fracture toughness, and solve the technical problems related to the existing rare earth aluminum alloy due to low strength and inability to meet the requirements of high load and light weight;

[0037] (3) The present invention comprehensively utilizes the solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening effects of Si, Cu, Mn, Mg, and Zn elements, reduces the addition amount of each main alloying element, regulates the effects of solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening, reduces the adverse effects of solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening on the plasticity of aluminum alloys, and comprehensively improves the strength and plasticity of aluminum alloy materials.

[0140] Comparative Example 1

[0141] The aluminum lamp pole made of 6061 aluminum alloy is used for comparison; 6061 aluminum alloy is made into corresponding extruded profiles through smelting casting, hot extrusion, solution treatment, and artificial aging, and then assembled, welded, painted, and installed to obtain a 10-meter-high aluminum alloy lamp pole.

[0145] 1. Room temperature mechanical properties test

[0146] According to GB / T 228.1-2010 “Tensile test of metallic materials Part 1: Room temperature test method”, random positions of samples were taken from the lamp poles manufactured in Examples 1-7 and the lamp poles prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2, machined into tensile specimens, and tested on a tensile testing machine. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0147] Table 1 Mechanical properties test results of aluminum alloy light pole materials

[0148]

[0149] 2. Light pole weight test

[0150] The lamp poles of Examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were weighed (excluding lamps), and the results are shown in Table 2.
