Effectively controlling the oxidation inclusions in the melt to improve the quality of aluminum alloy products is the common goal pursued by the aluminum melting and casting industry;
[0003] The traditional method for evaluating the cleanliness of cast aluminum alloy products is as follows: placing an aluminum alloy ingot sample in a crucible in a cleanliness test device and heating it to melt, allowing the aluminum melt to solidify into an aluminum block under pressure through a filter plate. The slag in the aluminum melt cannot pass through the filter plate and remains on the filter plate. The cleanliness of the sample is evaluated based on the mass difference between the sample and the aluminum block;

[0050] Table 1 Comprehensive evaluation value of the cleanliness of aluminum alloy products and corresponding cleanliness grades
[0051]
[0052] An evaluation device for the cleanliness of Al-Si cast aluminum alloy products includes a device main body, a heating module, a control module, a weighing module, a pressurizing module, and a calculation module. The control module is electrically connected to the device main body, the heating module, the weighing module, the pressurizing module, and the calculation module;
[0053] The heating module is used to heat and melt the test samples. The weighing module is used to weigh the weights of the test samples before and after melting. The pressurizing module is used to pressurize and filter the aluminum liquid after the test samples are melted into aluminum liquid. The calculation module is used to calculate the cleanliness of the test samples. The control module is used to control heating and pressurization, display the heating time, temperature, weighing weight, and output the final calculation result.
[0054] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The present invention uses a trained evaluation model for the cleanliness of aluminum alloy products (the trained evaluation model for the cleanliness of aluminum alloy products is a model obtained by training a neural network model with a large number of aluminum ingot test sample images as the input quantity of the model and the cleanliness evaluation values of aluminum alloy products corresponding to the large number of aluminum ingot test sample images as the output quantity of the model). By collecting surface images to obtain the cleanliness evaluation value, the evaluation is more objective and accurate. By constructing a comprehensive evaluation matrix for the cleanliness of aluminum alloy products, considering the cleanliness of multiple aluminum ingots and test samples, the comprehensive evaluation result is more comprehensive and no longer depends on a single quality difference index. Before the test starts, the test samples are cleaned and inspected to ensure that there are no foreign objects on the surface of the samples, reducing the influence of external factors on the evaluation result. Through the coordinated action of the device main body, heating module, control module, weighing module, pressurizing module, and calculation module, a systematic cleanliness test process is formed, improving the reliability and repeatability of the experiment. Based on the cleanliness evaluation value of the aluminum alloy product and the cleanliness of the test sample, a comprehensive evaluation matrix is constructed, and based on the comprehensive evaluation matrix, the comprehensive evaluation value of the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product is obtained, and then the corresponding cleanliness grade is obtained. Through the advantages in aspects such as objective evaluation, multi-dimensional comprehensiveness, sample pretreatment, and systematic process, the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the evaluation of the cleanliness of aluminum alloy products can be improved.
[0055] Example 2
[0056] Based on Example 1, step S3 includes:
[0057] S31. Before the test, evenly apply an antioxidant on the outer surface of the crucible 6 to prevent the crucible 6 from oxidizing, and evenly spray a release agent on the inner wall of the crucible 6 so that the molten aluminum liquid does not adhere to the inner wall of the crucible 6;
[0058] S32. Assemble the filtration table 12 and install it at the output end of the crucible 6 inside the equipment main body;
[0059] S33. Use the weighing module to weigh the mass of the test sample and the sample receiving tray 8 and import it into the calculation module;
[0060] S34. Put the test sample into the crucible 6 and seal it. After heating and melting, pressurize and filter the aluminum liquid. The filtered aluminum liquid falls into the sample receiving tray 8, forms an aluminum block after cooling, weigh the aluminum block and the sample receiving tray 8, and input the weighing result into the calculation module to obtain the cleanliness of the test sample.
[0061] Preferably, the antioxidant component is silicon carbide, and the release agent component is boron nitride.
[0062] Preferably, the cleanliness of the i-th test sample:
[0063] (1); where is the cleanliness of the i-th test sample, is the mass of the i-th test sample, is the mass of the aluminum block formed after melting and filtering the i-th test sample.
[0064] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The application of the antioxidant and the spraying of the release agent can effectively prevent the oxidation of the crucible and the adhesion of the aluminum liquid, ensuring the purity of the aluminum liquid. The assembly and installation of the filtration table contribute to filtering and separating impurities in the aluminum liquid. By accurately weighing the mass of the test sample and the sample receiving tray, accurate data can be provided as the basis for subsequent cleanliness calculation. Through heating and pressurized filtration, impurities in the aluminum liquid are separated and collected in the sample receiving tray to form an aluminum block. By weighing the aluminum block and the sample receiving tray, the cleanliness of the test sample can be calculated.
[0065] Example 3
[0066] Based on Example 2, step S34 of putting the test sample into the crucible 6 and sealing it, and pressurizing and filtering the aluminum liquid after heating and melting includes:
[0067] S341, put the test sample into the crucible 6, cover the sealing cover of the equipment body, the sealing cover includes the middle cover 4 and the upper cover 3, put the thermocouple for measuring the temperature into the protection tube and insert it into the crucible 6 together, pay attention to tighten the interface between the protection tube and the equipment body before pressurization to avoid air leakage during pressurization;
[0068] S342, turning on the main body of the equipment, heating the heating module of the main body of the equipment at a heating rate of 15°C / min, and when the temperature rises to 720°C, connecting the compressed air pipe;
[0069] S343. When the temperature rises to 770℃, the main body of the equipment will automatically start pressurizing. The pressure is slowly adjusted manually to about 0.09Mpa. The pressurization time is 10 minutes, and the pressurization ends automatically after 10 minutes.
[0070] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the structural design of the middle cover and the upper cover is adopted to ensure the sealing, which effectively prevents the possible leakage problem before pressurization, ensures the sealing of the system, and thus improves the accuracy and safety of the pressurized filtration process; controlling the heating rate can effectively avoid the gas precipitation and unevenness caused by the aluminum liquid being heated too quickly; in addition, the access to compressed air at an appropriate temperature helps to maintain the fluidity of the aluminum liquid and prepare for subsequent pressurized filtration; through the automated pressurization process, it ensures that the aluminum liquid is pressurized and filtered at the optimal temperature, which helps to efficiently separate impurities and slag in the aluminum liquid, further improving the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy; maintaining a stable pressurization time can effectively control the filtration effect, making the cleanliness evaluation more accurate and reliable; through precise sealing, controlled heating and pressurization process, not only the accuracy and consistency of the cleanliness evaluation of aluminum alloy products are improved, but also the safety of the operation process is enhanced, providing a solid foundation for subsequent evaluation results.

[0075] Preferably, the comprehensive evaluation value of the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product is obtained based on the comprehensive evaluation matrix of the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product, including:
[0076] Delete the cleanliness evaluation values of the aluminum alloy products and their corresponding cleanliness elements of all test samples of each aluminum ingot in the comprehensive evaluation matrix of the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product to obtain 5 intermediate matrices. Calculate the ranks of the 5 intermediate matrices, and delete the maximum and minimum values of the ranks of the 5 intermediate matrices. Use the average value of the ranks of the remaining three matrices as the comprehensive evaluation value of the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product.
[0077] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution: In the present invention, 5 aluminum ingots are taken for the cleanliness test, and n test samples are taken from each aluminum ingot for the cleanliness test. By constructing a comprehensive evaluation matrix, the cleanliness evaluation results of multiple test samples corresponding to each aluminum ingot can be comprehensively considered in one matrix, so as to more comprehensively and objectively understand the cleanliness status of the aluminum alloy product;
[0078] By deleting the cleanliness evaluation values of the aluminum alloy products and their corresponding cleanliness elements of all test samples of each aluminum ingot, it can ensure that the evaluation results are not affected by individual test samples, but comprehensively consider the evaluation results of multiple test samples. Deleting the maximum and minimum values of the ranks helps to exclude extreme values in the evaluation results and reduce the influence of abnormal data on the comprehensive evaluation results. By calculating the average value of the ranks of the remaining three intermediate matrices, a relatively stable quantitative index of the comprehensive evaluation value can be obtained, which can more accurately reflect the cleanliness of the aluminum alloy product.
