Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum-silicon master alloys, and particularly to a green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of aluminum alloys, A356 aluminum alloy is widely used due to its excellent casting performance and mechanical properties. However, with the development of industry, a large amount of aluminum chips are generated during the production of A356 aluminum alloy. These aluminum chips contain rich aluminum resources. If directly discarded, it will not only cause waste of resources, but also increase production costs and environmental burdens. Therefore, how to efficiently utilize these aluminum chips has become an important issue in the field of aluminum alloy production.

[0003] Traditional methods for recycling aluminum chips mainly focus on simple recycling and remelting, but this method has many problems. First, the composition of aluminum chips is complex, containing different proportions of impurities such as iron, copper, zinc, etc. These impurities will affect the performance of the recycled alloy. Second, aluminum chips are easily oxidized during the processing to form alumina that is difficult to melt, increasing the slag amount during the smelting process and reducing the aluminum recovery rate. In addition, the traditional recycling process has inaccurate composition control and is difficult to ensure the performance stability of the recycled alloy, limiting its use in high-end application fields.

[0004] Currently, although there are some technologies for recycling aluminum chips on the market, most of these technologies focus on single impurity removal or composition adjustment and lack a systematic solution. Therefore, developing an efficient, green and environmentally friendly A356 aluminum chip recycling and smelting method that can stably produce is of great significance for improving resource utilization rate, reducing production costs and reducing environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a preparation method of a green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy to solve the technical problems such as low utilization efficiency of A356 aluminum chips, inaccurate composition control, incomplete impurity removal and unstable alloy performance in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A preparation method of a green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1 Feeding operation: Put A00 aluminum ingots, metallic silicon and pretreated A356 aluminum chips into a heating furnace one by one according to a ratio, raise the temperature for 2 - 3 hours, control the aluminum liquid temperature at 690 - 710 °C, and stir and melt evenly;

[0009] S2 Feedstock addition operation: Re-add a certain proportion of A356 aluminum chips, cover the metallurgical silicon, and perform silicon erosion operation. Heat up for 1.5 - 2.5 hours, control the aluminum liquid temperature at 690 - 710 °C, and stir and melt evenly.

[0010] S3 Skimming operation: Place the ash hopper into the hot furnace, add an appropriate amount of slag removal agent, stir to make the ash and slag float, and then slowly skim the ash and slag on the surface of the aluminum liquid.

[0011] S4 Iron absorption operation: Connect the power supply as required. After preheating the iron absorber in the hot furnace, rotate it back and forth at a position 8 - 12 cm from the furnace bottom to suck out the iron. Control the aluminum liquid temperature at 680 - 700 °C, and the single - time iron absorption time does not exceed 2 minutes.

[0012] S5 First - stage composition adjustment operation: After stirring evenly repeatedly, take samples for spectral detection and analysis of the composition. According to the detection results, supplement metallurgical silicon, heat up to 780 °C ± 5 °C, stir evenly, and fully melt the titanium agent element.

[0013] S6 Refining operation: Heat up to 720 °C ± 5 °C for refining operation. Use nitrogen with a purity of 99.999%, refine 2 times, with each time lasting not less than 30 minutes. After refining, skim the ash and slag on the surface of the aluminum liquid in multiple times.

[0014] S7 Second - stage composition adjustment operation: After stirring evenly repeatedly, take samples for spectral detection and analysis of the composition. According to the detection results, supplement magnesium ingots.

[0015] S8 Standing and ingot casting operation: After standing for 15 - 20 minutes, pour the aluminum liquid into the pre - heated ingot mold, control the aluminum liquid temperature at 700 - 710 °C, keep it warm for 2 - 4 hours, and then cool it to room temperature. After passing the inspection, the aluminum - silicon master alloy is obtained.

[0016] The preparation method of the green and low - carbon recycled resource aluminum - silicon master alloy of the present invention not only effectively reduces the impurity content, improves the utilization rate of recycled aluminum, reduces the production cost, and at the same time reduces the dependence on primary aluminum by pre - treating A356 aluminum chips, which conforms to the green and low - carbon production concept; but also accurately controls the alloy composition through multiple spectral detections and analysis and composition adjustments, ensures the stability and consistency of the alloy performance, and optimizes the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the alloy.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the pre - treatment operation of the A356 aluminum chips includes at least one of classification, cleaning, drying, and degreasing. Through pre - treatment operations such as classification, cleaning, drying, and degreasing in this application, impurities, oil stains, and moisture in the A356 aluminum chips can be effectively removed, reducing impurity pollution and oxidation problems during the melting process, improving the purity and recovery rate of the aluminum liquid, and thus enhancing the quality and performance of the final product.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, during the slag skimming operation in step S3, the drossing agent is composed of a reducing agent and a fluoride and / or a chloride. The drossing agent of the present application is composed of a reducing agent (such as silicon carbide, boride, etc.) and a fluoride / chloride, which can more effectively remove alumina (Al2O3) and other impurities in the molten aluminum. The reducing agent can reduce alumina to make it turn back into metallic aluminum, improving the recovery rate of aluminum; the fluoride and chloride can lower the melting point of the slag, making the slag easier to float up and be removed, reducing slag inclusion defects and improving the product quality.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, after the iron suction operation in step S4, microalloying treatment is also carried out: during the melting process, trace rare earth elements (such as yttrium, cerium) are added to the molten aluminum in the form of master alloys, and after stirring evenly, heat preservation treatment is carried out to ensure that the trace elements are fully diffused. The microalloying treatment of the present application can refine the crystal grains by adding trace rare earth elements, reduce the acicular structure of the silicon phase, and further improve the toughness of the alloy.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution, modification treatment is also carried out before the refining operation in step S6: when the temperature of the molten aluminum reaches 710°C ± 5°C, an appropriate amount of modifier is added, and after stirring evenly, it is left standing for 10 - 15 minutes to make the modifier fully react. The modification treatment of the present application can change the morphology of the silicon phase from an acicular structure to a granular or fibrous structure by adding a modifier. This morphological transformation can significantly improve the strength and toughness of the alloy, reduce the stress concentration points of the silicon phase in the casting, and reduce the hot cracking tendency. In addition, the modification treatment can also improve the fluidity of the alloy, improve the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the casting.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, during the refining operation in step S6, nitrogen with a purity of 99.999% is used, and the refining is carried out 2 times, with each time lasting not less than 30 minutes. Through the refining operation of the present application, the purity of the molten aluminum can be significantly improved, gases and impurities can be removed, and pores and inclusions in the casting can be reduced, thereby enhancing the density, strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of the alloy, meeting the requirements for high-performance aluminum-silicon master alloys in the high-end manufacturing field.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution, in the standing and ingot casting operation in step S8: after heat preservation, it is rapidly cooled to room temperature, and the cooling rate is controlled at 10 - 20°C / s. The rapid cooling (such as water spraying cooling or spray cooling) of the present application can refine the crystal grain structure of the alloy and improve the strength and toughness of the alloy.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution, during the feeding operation in step S1, the feeding mass ratio of the A00 aluminum ingot, metallic silicon and A356 aluminum chips is 5:2 - 3:15 - 25.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution, during the feeding operation in step S2, the feeding amount ratio of the A356 aluminum chips to the first feeding amount of the A356 aluminum chips is 1:1 to 3.

[0025] Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy. The aluminum-silicon master alloy is prepared by the preparation method of the green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy as described above. The chemical composition of the aluminum-silicon master alloy by weight percentage is: Si is 10-20%, Fe≤0.2%, Cu≤0.1%, Zn≤0.1%, Mg is 0.5-0.6%, Ti is 0.2-0.25%, Pb≤0.05%, Sn≤0.01%, Ni≤0.1%, other elements≤0.15%, and the balance is Al.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0027] The preparation method of the green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy of the present invention innovatively introduces a number of improvement measures in the pretreatment, microalloying treatment, modification treatment, grain refinement operation and optimized heat treatment process of A356 aluminum chips, not only realizing the efficient utilization of recycled aluminum chips and the precise control of alloy composition, but also significantly improving the alloy performance. This design not only enhances the strength and toughness of the alloy, but also maintains good casting performance and corrosion resistance, helps to improve the long-term stability and service life of the product, and at the same time realizes the recycling of resources and green production.

[0028] Generally speaking, the green and low-carbon recycled resource aluminum-silicon master alloy of the present invention not only has excellent mechanical properties (such as high strength and high toughness), but also has good processing performance and corrosion resistance, and can meet the strict requirements of high-performance aluminum alloy materials in high-end manufacturing fields such as automobiles and aerospace.
