Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy automobile sheet materials, and in particular to a 6 series high-strength aluminum alloy sheet material for automobiles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, automobile lightweighting is the most feasible and effective measure to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction. Reducing the weight of the automobile body is one of the main goals of responding to automobile lightweighting. It can not only meet the existing functions of the automobile, such as safety, comfort, and aesthetics, but also reduce fuel consumption, reduce air pollution and automobile exhaust emissions. At the same time, in the field of new energy vehicles, automobile lightweighting can effectively improve problems such as cruising range and power. Aluminum alloy is the preferred material for automobile lightweighting due to its low density, light weight, and easy processing. Among them, the aluminum alloys used in automobile body panels mainly include 5 series aluminum alloys and 6 series aluminum alloys. 5 series aluminum alloys are non-heat-treatable alloys, and their surfaces are prone to Luders bands and orange peels during deformation. Therefore, 5 series aluminum alloys are mostly used in automobile interior panels. The 6 series aluminum alloy is a heat-treatable alloy. Due to its excellent forming properties and bake hardening properties, it is widely used in automotive exterior coverings, such as 6005A, 6014, and 6016 aluminum alloys. In addition, it is also used in automotive structural parts and battery bottom plates, such as 6451 and 6111 aluminum alloys.

[0003] In order to accelerate the process of lightweighting of automobiles, higher-strength aluminum alloy materials can be developed to reserve for further weight reduction of automobile bodies, especially in the field of new energy vehicles. The development of high-strength aluminum alloy plates can better solve the problem of insufficient driving range and improve power. For example, Chinese patent application CN114107746 A discloses a high-performance wide-width 6XXX aluminum alloy plate and strip and its manufacturing method, which adopts semi-solid processing, particle reinforcement and double-roller thin strip continuous casting process. The aluminum alloy plate produced can reach a yield strength of 160-240MPa and a tensile strength of 240-320MPa in T4 or T42 state; the yield strength after baking can reach 260-300MPa and the tensile strength is 340-380MPa; although this method improves the strength of the plate and strip at room temperature and after baking through the particle reinforcement process, it is difficult to implement on the existing production line of automobile thin plate and strip, and the cost of replacing equipment is too high; Chinese patent application CN112119176 A discloses high-strength 6XXX and 7XXX aluminum alloys and preparation methods thereof, and adopts the method of adding different alloying elements such as Zr, Sc, Sn, Zn, Ni, etc. to achieve the preparation of high-strength 6XXX aluminum alloys with a yield strength and / or tensile strength greater than 450MPa. The method makes the yield strength greater than 450MPa by adding multiple alloying elements, but the addition of rare earth elements in production is not conducive to the control of overall production costs; Chinese patent application CN110079716A discloses a high-manganese-chromium 6XXX series aluminum alloy material for automobile body and a preparation method thereof, and increases the Mn+Cr content to 40% on the basis of the existing JIS-6N01 alloy. 0.5-0.75%, the tensile strength of the alloy after peak aging, overaging and short-cycle heating is not less than 260MPa, the yield strength is controlled between 241-280MPa, and the yield strength after long-cycle heating is not less than 230MPa, which can effectively resist the strength exhaustion after heat exposure. This method mainly analyzes the change of strength after peak aging, overaging and short-cycle and long-cycle heating by increasing the addition ratio of Mn+Cr. However, the production of automobile body panels mainly adopts the under-aging state. Although the coarse-grained layer on the surface of the profile can be suppressed after adding Mn, adding a large amount of Mn will promote the growth of grains with specific orientation, which is not conducive to the regulation of anisotropy.

[0004] Although the above methods have done a lot of research on the preparation of 6 series high-strength plates, mainly focusing on particle reinforcement, spray forming, adding alloy elements and other methods to achieve strength improvement, in the actual production process of automobile plates, it is mainly based on the production equipment of existing plates, and the production difficulty and production cost also need to be considered, which is crucial to the development and subsequent application of 6 series high-strength plates for automobiles. Based on this, a 6 series high-strength aluminum alloy plate for automobiles that can be produced using existing plate production equipment and a preparation method thereof are proposed. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a 6 series high-strength aluminum alloy plate for automobiles and a preparation method thereof. By optimizing the alloy composition, an aluminum alloy plate with high strength, high plastic strain ratio and low anisotropy can be obtained.

[0026] The present invention provides a 6 series high strength aluminum alloy plate for automobiles and a preparation method thereof. To make the purpose, technical solution and effect of the present invention clearer and more specific, the present invention is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0027] A 6 series high-strength aluminum alloy plate for automobiles comprises the following metal element components in mass percentage: Si 0.7-1.0%, Fe 0.2-0.3%, Cu 0.5-0.9%, Mn 0.15-0.3%, Mg 0.6-1.0%, Cr 0.15-0.25%, Zn 0.05-0.1%, 0.2%≤Cr+Zn≤0.35%, and the balance is Al and unavoidable impurities; preferably, the total content of Cr and Zn is 0.25%≤Cr+Zn≤0.30%.

[0028] The method for preparing the above-mentioned 6 series high-strength aluminum alloy sheet for automobiles comprises the following steps:

[0029] According to the alloy composition and ratio, the ingot is obtained by smelting and casting → homogenization treatment → hot rolling and coiling → cooling → cold rolling and coiling → solution treatment → pre-aging treatment → mechanical properties test to see if it meets the requirements;

[0030] Specifically, in the homogenization process, the homogenization temperature is 530-560° C., and the holding time is 6-12 hours;

[0031] In the hot rolling process, 1+5 rolling is adopted, the hot rolling coiling temperature is 300-400°C, and the coil thickness after hot rolling is 4.0-7.0mm;

[0032] In the cold rolling process, the cold rolling processing rate is 50-70%;

[0033] In the solution treatment process, the solution treatment temperature is 520 to 560° C., and the solution treatment time is 20 to 60 seconds.

[0034] In the pre-aging treatment process, the pre-aging temperature is 60-100°C.

[0035] The present invention mainly obtains a high-strength and high-plasticity 6-series aluminum alloy sheet for automobiles by adding Cr and Zn elements and controlling the addition amount of Cr and Zn elements. The addition of Cr can play the role of dispersion strengthening, fine grain strengthening and solid solution strengthening, specifically: the Cr element will combine with the Mn element to precipitate the α-Al(FeMnCr)Si dispersed phase during homogenization treatment, and the dispersed α phase hinders the dislocation movement, thereby playing the role of dispersion strengthening; the addition of the Cr element is also easy to generate a high melting point phase during the casting solidification process, which will act as a heterogeneous nucleation point to make the sheet grain refine, playing the role of fine grain strengthening; in addition, the Cr element can be dissolved back into the matrix during high-temperature heat treatment, playing the role of solid solution strengthening. Among them, the dispersion strengthening effect contributes the most to the strength of the sheet, which can not only effectively improve the strength, but also improve the plasticity of the sheet, which is mainly because the dispersed phase is a particle that is not easy to deform and is not easy to be cut during the processing process, thereby avoiding the occurrence of stress concentration. Of course, if too much Cr is added, part of the Cr will occupy more Si, reduce the amount of Mg2Si phase formed, and have a certain effect on strength and plasticity. In addition, the improvement of strength and elongation by Zn is very significant. The Cr+Zn combination can achieve a significant improvement in strength. If Zn is added alone, although the strength can be significantly improved, the Zn element has a certain inhibitory effect on the improvement of r values ​​in three directions. Therefore, the present invention adopts the Cr+Zn combination, which can not only improve the strength and plasticity of the plate, but also improve the plastic strain ratio r value, and at the same time reduce the anisotropy of the plate.
