Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy materials, and specifically relates to a high-strength and toughness recycled aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing scarcity of global resources and energy shortage, energy conservation and environmental protection have become the consensus of aluminum processing companies around the world. Using recycled aluminum as raw material in the production process of aluminum alloy can greatly reduce the production cost of enterprises and generate huge energy-saving and environmental protection benefits. Since recycled aluminum comes from a variety of sources and contains complex elements, some harmful elements will form a hard and brittle second phase, which will seriously deteriorate the performance of the alloy and reduce the quality of castings. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop a utilization method that is suitable for it.

[0003] Heat treatment is an important processing method for aluminum alloys, which can change the structure and properties of aluminum alloy materials, with the aim of improving the strength, hardness, toughness and other properties of the materials. However, heat treatment not only causes deformation, but also reduces production efficiency, consumes a lot of energy and pollutes the environment. Therefore, the development of heat-treatment-free aluminum alloy materials has become a trend. Heat-treatment-free aluminum alloy refers to the technology of obtaining aluminum alloy products with good strength, plasticity, toughness and other properties without heat treatment after casting by adding other metal alloy components.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN117488147A discloses a heat-treatment-free recycled aluminum alloy material and a preparation method thereof, which uses 1 series aluminum scrap, 3 series aluminum scrap, 6 series aluminum scrap and 7 series aluminum scrap as raw materials, and undergoes smelting, refining, metamorphism and die-casting to obtain an aluminum alloy whose strength and toughness can meet the use requirements.
