Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method of a super-hard Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy large-size flat ingot. BACKGROUND

[0002] In today's era of rapid development of science and technology, aluminum alloy has been widely used in many fields such as aerospace and transportation due to its low density, high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent processing performance. In the production process of aluminum alloy, casting process is one of the key links, which directly determines the quality and performance of the aluminum alloy ingot, and then affects the subsequent processing and use.

[0003] The traditional DC casting (direct water cooling semi-continuous casting) method exposes a series of serious problems when casting Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy flat ingot with small solid-liquid zone. First, at the beginning of casting, the bottom of the ingot often appears warping phenomenon, and the warping degree is large. This warping phenomenon will lead to uneven stress distribution in the ingot, and when the stress exceeds the ultimate strength of the material, it is easy to cause cracking and crack. These cracks not only destroy the integrity of the ingot, but also may further expand in the subsequent processing process, seriously reducing the quality and reliability of the aluminum alloy product, and even causing the product to be scrapped.

[0004] Secondly, during the whole casting process, the lubrication effect of lubricating oil has a crucial influence on the quality of the ingot. Because in the traditional casting process, the lubrication of the lubricating oil is difficult to be uniform, which makes the friction force received by the ingot during solidification and drawing uneven. Local excessive friction will hinder the normal shrinkage and movement of the ingot, thus producing additional stress concentration in the ingot, and finally leading to the cracking of the ingot. These cracking and cracking problems caused by the bottom warping and uneven lubrication make the yield of the ingot always at a low level, greatly increasing the production cost, limiting the production efficiency and market competitiveness of the aluminum alloy product.

[0005] With the rapid development of aerospace, transportation and other industries, the demand for high-quality aluminum alloy ingot is increasing, and these defects of the traditional casting process are more and more prominent, which cannot meet the requirements of the industry for high-quality and high-yield aluminum alloy ingot. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new casting technology and equipment to solve these problems. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application is to solve the problem that the existing traditional casting tool produces cracked waste products when producing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy flat ingot, and provides a preparation method of a super-hard Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy large-size flat ingot.

[0009] II, smelting: the weighed aluminum ingot, pure Cu plate, pure Zn ingot and Al-Zr intermediate alloy are added to the natural gas melting furnace, pure Mg ingot and Al-Ti intermediate alloy are added when the temperature is 700~720 ℃, electromagnetic stirring is used for 25~35 min when the temperature reaches 720 ℃, sampling analysis chemical composition, after the chemical composition is qualified, the aluminum alloy melt is obtained;

[0010] III, casting: the aluminum alloy melt is introduced into the holding furnace, Ar gas refining is carried out for 30~40 min when the temperature is 720~780 ℃, then the melt is obtained by standing for 30~40 min at the temperature of 720~780 ℃, then the melt is first flowed into the online degassing device, Ar gas is introduced into the online degassing device, the purity of Ar gas is required to be 99.996% and above, the working pressure of argon pipeline is 0.3MPa~1.0MPa;Then flow into the filtering device, then the melt is injected into the double-row water-cooled graphite crystallizer under the conditions of casting speed of 40~55 mm / min, casting temperature of 685~710 ℃, cooling water flow of 75~145T / h, cooling water temperature of 15~28 ℃ and online seeding of Al-Ti-B wire to produce superhard Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy large specification flat cast ingot.

[0011] The present application has the following advantages:

[0012] The present application adopts the double-row cooling water impact area located in the area where the conductivity of the surface of the cast ingot is minimum and the temperature has a rebound, which ensures the cooling effect of the cast ingot, and eliminates the splashing of the cooling water, avoiding the generation of interference fountain;The design of the graphite plate inlaid in the inner cavity of the crystallizer does not need lubricating oil for production casting due to the self-lubricating property of graphite, which not only improves the surface quality, but also avoids the pollution to water quality, and saves the production cost.

[0022] III. Casting: the aluminum alloy melt is introduced into the holding furnace, Ar gas refining is carried out for 30 to 40 min at a temperature of 720 to 780 ℃, then the melt is obtained by standing for 30 to 40 min at a temperature of 720 to 780 ℃, then the melt is first flowed into the online degassing device, Ar gas is introduced into the online degassing device, the purity of the Ar gas is required to be 99.996% or above, and the working pressure of the argon gas pipeline is 0.3 MPa to 1.0 MPa; then the melt is flowed into the filtering device, and then the melt is injected into the double water-cooling graphite crystallizer under the conditions of a casting speed of 40 to 55 mm / min, a casting temperature of 685 to 710 ℃, a cooling water flow of 75 to 145 T / h, a cooling water temperature of 15 to 28 ℃ and online seeding of Al-Ti-B wire to prepare the superhard Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy large-size flat ingot.

[0023] Specific embodiment two: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is that the double-row water-cooled graphite crystallizer is composed of a large-face box body 8, a small-face box body 4, a large-face lower pressing cover 1, a small-face lower pressing cover 3, a large-face upper pressing cover 9 and a small-face upper pressing cover 6; the large-face box body 8, the large-face lower pressing cover 1 and the large-face upper pressing cover 9 form a large-face assembly, and the small-face box body 4, the small-face lower pressing cover 3 and the small-face upper pressing cover 6 form a small-face assembly; two large-face assemblies and two small-face assemblies enclose the inner cavity of the crystallizer. The rest is the same as specific embodiment one.

[0024] The double-row water-cooled graphite crystallizer is cooled by heat conduction through the surface of the graphite plate in one time, and the cavity of the crystallizer is made of 2A50 aluminum alloy by forging and manufacturing by a numerical control machining center.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inner cavity size of the crystallizer is determined by the shrinkage coefficient of aluminum alloy, the measurement of the cross-sectional size of ingots of different specifications of the same alloy, and the selection of appropriate tool materials according to the characteristics of the crystallizer. According to the characteristics of aluminum alloy and some product defects that have occurred on site, the crystallizer is designed as an inner oblong circular casting tool with a certain inclination. The inner cavity of the hard aluminum alloy crystallizer is a combined box body composed of two large-face box bodies and two small-face box bodies, which are connected and combined and fixed by bolts. The crystallizer is designed with double rows of drainage holes. The first row of drainage holes is designed to be 3.8 mm in size, and the angle is 44° with the vertical direction. The second row of drainage holes is designed to be 3.2 mm in size, and the angle is 26° with the vertical direction. The size can be freely switched according to the hard aluminum alloy casting process through the pneumatic control valve. In the design process of the hard alloy double-row water-cooled graphite crystallizer, the upper flow heat conduction area of the ingot is moved upward, and the width of the stagnation area of the ingot cooling is increased by designing the cooling water holes, thereby avoiding surface defects, cracks, and aluminum liquid leakage during the process. In the design process of the graphite crystallizer, the graphite plate is embedded in the inner cavity of the crystallizer, which effectively reduces the casting friction, improves the surface quality, reduces the surface segregation, and reduces the milling surface geometry waste. Match the process parameters, and use the single-row and double-row alternating cooling method at the beginning to reduce the crack tendency at the beginning of casting and improve the ingot forming rate.

[0026] Specific embodiment three: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment two is that the small-face box body 4 and the large-face box body 8 are both machined with a groove for embedding the graphite plate, and the graphite plate is tightly fixed in the box body by the small-face upper pressing cover 6 and the large-face upper pressing cover 9. After the small-face assembly of the crystallizer, the elongated parts on both sides of the small-face upper pressing cover 6 are lapped on the large-face assembly, and the part of the large-face upper pressing cover 9 lapped with the small-face assembly is machined with threads for locking and fixing the small-face assembly and the large-face assembly, and the surface of the graphite plate serves as the crystallization working surface. The rest is the same as specific embodiment two.

[0027] The effect of the large and small surface inlaid high-purity graphite plate in this embodiment is to increase the lubrication of the ingot and the inside of the crystallizer during casting, reduce the tendency of the ingot to crack, and improve the ingot forming rate.

[0028] Specific embodiment four: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment two is that the inclination angle of the working surface of the graphite plate inner cavity in the small surface assembly and the large surface assembly is 0.68°. The rest is the same as specific embodiment two.

[0029] Specific embodiment five: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment two is that the large surface box 8 and the small surface box 4 are processed with a partition structure on the inside up and down to form an upper cavity and a lower cavity as a water chamber for cooling water; the air-actuated control valve 5 is located inside the lower cavity, the water inlet quick connector 2 is installed in the lower cavity, and the interface part is exposed outside the cavity and connected with the external water supply pipeline; the water inlet filter screen 7 is tightly installed on the water inlet quick connector 2 and penetrates the upper and lower cavities, and the water inlet filter screen 7 and the lower cavity are water-tightly isolated; the upper cavity is provided with a lower drain hole with a diameter of Φ3.2mm and an angle of 26° with the vertical direction, and the lower drain hole is in communication with the internal space of the upper cavity and can drain water in the upper cavity into the inner cavity of the crystallizer; the lower cavity is provided with an upper drain hole with a diameter of Φ3.8mm and an angle of 44° with the vertical direction, and the upper drain hole is in communication with the internal space of the lower cavity and can drain water in the lower cavity into the inner cavity of the crystallizer. The rest is the same as specific embodiment two.

[0030] The air-actuated control valve controls the water flow channel between the lower cavity and the upper cavity. When it is in the closed state, it prevents water flow in the upper cavity from entering the lower cavity. When it is opened, it allows water flow to flow from the specific gap from the upper cavity to the lower cavity, thereby achieving precise regulation of the water flow path.

[0031] The through design makes the water first pass through the water inlet filter screen for filtering treatment after entering the box through the water inlet quick connector, so as to remove impurity particles in the water and prevent them from causing blockage or damage to the internal structure of the box and the subsequent water flow channel. The water inlet filter screen and the water inlet quick connector are connected in a sealed manner, such as using a rubber sealing ring or other sealing elements, to ensure that the water flow can only enter the box through the filter screen and cannot leak from the connection between the connector and the filter screen or bypass the filter screen to directly enter the box.

[0032] Specific embodiment six: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment two is that the large surface upper gland 9, the large surface lower gland 1, the small surface upper gland 6, and the small surface lower gland 3 are processed with an annular groove near the inside of the water chamber, and an "O" type sealing silica gel strip is installed in the groove. The rest is the same as specific embodiment two.

[0033] The double ring type "O" type sealing silica gel strip used in the embodiment prevents the cooling water in the cavity from leaking after the mold box is assembled.

[0036] Specific embodiment nine: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is that the filter device uses double-stage ceramic filter sheets for filtering, and the double-stage ceramic filter sheets are imported 30 ppi+60 ppi. The others are the same as specific embodiment one.

[0037] Specific embodiment ten: the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is that the cooling water is first cooled by single-row pulse water at 75-80 m 3 / h, and when the casting length is 150 mm, the cooling water is cooled by double-row water at 80-100 m 3 / h, when the casting length is 500 mm, the cooling water is cooled by double-row water at 90-120 m 3 / h, and after 800 mm, the cooling water is cooled by single-row water at 130-145 m 3 / h. The others are the same as specific embodiment one.
