[0039] In one embodiment, the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy contains 6-7.5% Si by mass, 0.5-0.7% Fe by mass, 0.005-0.04% Cu by mass, 0.1-0.3% Mg by mass, 0.01-0.03% Sr by mass, 0.002-0.01% Zn by mass, 0.001-0.01% Ni by mass, 0.005-0.05% Co by mass, and 0.00 1-0.005% Be, 0.0005-0.05% RE, 0.001-0.009% Mn, 0.001-0.008% Ti, 0.001-0.008% Cr, and 0.001-0.008% V by mass, wherein the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is 5.5-9%, and the sum of the mass percentages of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.18-0.3%.
[0040] In the technical solution of the present invention, the Al-Si-Fe-Mg high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy contains 5-8% Si by mass, 0.4-0.8% Fe by mass, 0.001-0.05% Cu by mass, 0.05-0.4% Mg by mass, 0.005-0.04% Sr by mass, 0.001-0.05% Zn by mass, 0.001-0.05% Ni by mass, 0-0.1% Co by mass, 0-0.01% Be by mass, and 0.0001-0.1% RE by mass, wherein the sum of the mass percentage contents of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is not more than 9%, and the sum of the mass percentage contents of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%. The Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE and Ni within the above content range interact with each other as a whole, ensuring that the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy has good formability while also having excellent mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. The details are as follows:
[0041] (1) When the mass percentage of Si is 5-8%, on the one hand, Si can improve the fluidity and density of aluminum alloy, thereby improving the forming performance and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Si can react with other elements as much as possible to form a second phase to avoid the adverse effect of Si dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy. Specifically, Si can react with Al, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn, etc. to form Mg2Si, AlFeSi, AlMnSi, AlFeSiCu, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMnSi and other second phases;
[0042] (2) When the mass percentage of Fe is 0.4-0.8%, on the one hand, Fe can reduce the tendency of aluminum alloy castings to stick to the mold and improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Fe can react with other elements as much as possible to form a second phase to avoid the adverse effect of Fe dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Fe can react with Al, Si, Mg, Cu, Mn, Ni, etc. to form Al3Fe, AlFeSi, AlFeMgSi, AlFeSiCu, AlFeSiNi, AlFeMgSiNi, AlFeMnSi, FeNiAl9 and other second phases;
[0043] (3) When the mass percentage of Cu is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Cu can improve the mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and fatigue resistance of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Cu can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Cu dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Cu can react with Al, Fe, Si, Mg, Zn, etc. to form CuAl2, AlFeSiCu, Al2CuZn, (CuMg)Al2 and other second phases. In addition, Cu can also promote the precipitation of Mg2Si, Mg2Zn, Mg2SiZn, (CuMg)Al2, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMgSiNi and other second phases, increase their volume fraction and dispersion, and reduce the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0044] (4) When the mass percentage of Mg is 0.05-0.4%, on the one hand, Mg can improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Mg can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Mg dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Mg can react with Al, Fe, Si, Cu, Zn, Ni, etc. to form Mg2Si, Mg2Zn, Mg2SiZn, (CuMg)Al2, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMgSiNi and other second phases. Mg can also promote the precipitation of CuAl2, AlFeSiCu, Al2CuZn, (CuMg)Al2 and other second phases, increase their volume fraction and dispersion, and reduce the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0045] (5) When the mass percentage of Sr is 0.005-0.04%, on the one hand, Sr can be modified through the heterogeneous nucleation theory or twin valley mechanism to refine the second phase such as eutectic silicon, improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy, and also transform the β-AlFeSi phase in the ingot into the Chinese character α-AlFeSi phase to improve the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Sr can preferentially combine with elements such as Fe, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Si to form dispersion strengthening to avoid the adverse effect of Sr dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. In addition, Sr can also promote the precipitation of phases such as CuAl2 and Mg2Si to reduce the solid solubility of these alloying elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0046] (6) When the mass percentage of Zn is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Zn can improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys, and on the other hand, Zn can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Zn dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Zn can react with Al, Mg, Cu and Si to form second phases such as MgZn2, Mg2SiZn, Al2CuZn, etc. Zn can eliminate elemental Si to reduce the adverse effect of elemental Si on the performance of aluminum alloys. Zn can also promote the precipitation of phases such as Mg2Si and Al2Cu, thereby improving mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.
[0047] (7) When the mass percentage of Ni is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Ni can be used to improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Ni can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Ni dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Ni can react with Al, Fe, Mg, Si, etc. to form Al3Ni, AlFeSiNi, AlFeMgSiNi, FeNiAl9 and other second phases, promoting the precipitation of elements such as Cu, Mg, Zn, Si, Fe dissolved in the alloy; Ni can also refine grains, promote the precipitation of strengthening phases such as CuAl2, (CuMg)Al2, Mg2Si, increase the volume fraction and dispersion of the precipitated phase, and reduce the solid solubility of alloy elements in the aluminum matrix. In addition, Ni and Cu, Mg can promote each other's precipitation to improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys.
[0048] (8) When the mass percentage of Co is not greater than 0.1%, Co can refine the grains to improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, it can also react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Be dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Specifically, Co can react with Al, Fe, Si, etc. to form Al 15 (Fe, Co) 3 Si 2, Al 3 (Fe, Co) and other second phases. In addition, Co has a refining effect on the Al 3 Fe phase, which can transform the coarse needle-shaped and flake-shaped β-Al 3 Fe phase into small flower-shaped and fine strip-shaped α-Al 15 (Fe,Co)3Si2 phase can also promote the α-Al 15 The precipitation of (Fe, Co) 3 Si 2 phase further improves the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. The composite addition of Ni and Co can effectively modify Fe and transform the free Fe into the second phase. The composite addition of Co, Ni and Be can quickly reduce the solid solubility of each other in the alloy and increase the volume fraction of the second phase, thereby improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.
[0049] (9) When the mass percentage of Be is not more than 0.01%, Be can transform the eutectic Si phase from a lamellar phase to a fine phase to refine the Si phase, thereby reducing or eliminating the adverse effects of Si on the aluminum alloy. Be can also transform the plate-like β intermediate phase into a relatively harmless Chinese character-shaped Be-Fe (Al8Fe2SiBe) phase to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of Fe on the properties of the aluminum alloy. It can also reduce the formation of Mg-containing Fe-rich phases, thereby increasing the Mg content in the aging process. On the other hand, Be can also combine with vacancies to prevent the migration and disappearance of vacancies. The addition of Be significantly increases the nucleation rate of the metastable phase, improves the strengthening effect of aging, and reduces the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix. Ni and Be are combined, which greatly promotes the precipitation of the second phase and reduces the solid solubility of the alloying elements in the matrix.
[0050] (10) When the mass percentage of RE is 0.0001-0.1%, RE can form a rare earth active film on the surface of the Fe-containing phase or combine with Al, Fe, Ti and other atoms to form rare earth compounds to effectively reduce the solid solution of harmful elements in the aluminum matrix. It can also transform the long strip β-Fe phase into the spherical α-Fe phase and transform the elemental Si. On the other hand, RE can also promote the precipitation of dispersed phases such as CuAl2, (CuMg)Al2, Mg2Si, etc., and improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. In addition, RE can also refine the grains, second phases and precipitated phases (for example, it can refine Al3RE, Al3Fe, Mg2Si phases, etc.), further improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys.
[0051] When the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni within the above content range is not more than 9% and the sum of the mass percentages of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%, Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni interact with each other as a whole, thereby removing the contents of transition elements Ti, Mn, Cr, and V in the aluminum matrix that have a great influence on thermal conductivity, refining the grains, reducing the solid solubility of the alloying elements in the aluminum matrix, and increasing the volume fraction of the precipitated phase, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the alloying elements on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy and improving the comprehensive properties of the aluminum alloy (including mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and forming properties, etc.). At the same time, under the further action of aging treatment, the solid solubility of each element in the aluminum matrix is further reduced, which can eliminate the adverse effects of alloying elements on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy as much as possible, and the second phase (such as Al3Fe, Mg2Si, Al2Cu, AlFeSiNi, AlMnSi phases, etc.) can also be refined in the aluminum matrix and at the grain boundaries or within the grain boundaries, greatly improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.
[0052] Specifically, since transition elements such as Mn, Cr, Ti, and V have a great influence on the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys, their content needs to be strictly controlled; when elements such as Cu, Mg, and Zn are added in large amounts, the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy will also be reduced, and their content also needs to be controlled; but when the mass percentage content of at least one of Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, Ni, Mn, Cr, Ti, and V is low, the elements with low mass percentage content are not easy to precipitate, and will exist in the aluminum matrix in the form of solid solution, thereby reducing the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy, and the refinement and metamorphism of the aluminum alloy will also deteriorate, causing the elemental Si at the grain boundaries of the aluminum alloy to exist in the form of coarse flakes and strips, seriously splitting the aluminum matrix, and further reducing the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. In the present invention, as described in items (1) to (10) above, Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni within the above content range interact with each other as a whole to refine the grains (such as the modification effect of Sr, the grain refining effect of Ni, Co, Be, and RE), reduce each other's solid solubility in the aluminum matrix (such as the elements can react with each other to form a second phase), and increase the volume fraction of the precipitated phase (such as Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni can promote the precipitation of the second phase), thereby improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy; even if the mass percentage content of one or some elements is low, during the aging treatment, all or almost all of the elements can be precipitated, avoiding adverse effects on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.
[0053] It can be understood that since the addition of alloying elements will reduce the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys, the amount of at least one element added among Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni in the present invention may be less than the amount of the element added in the prior art. The sum of the mass percentage contents of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is not more than 9%, and the sum of the mass percentage contents of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%. Among them, the amount of all elements added among Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni in the present invention may be less than the amount of the elements added in the prior art. Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni within the above-mentioned content range interact with each other as a whole. On the one hand, it can avoid the reduction of thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy by adding too many elements. On the other hand, when at least one of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is added in a small amount, it can still improve the comprehensive properties of aluminum alloy (including mechanical properties and thermal conductivity, etc.).

This arrangement ensures that the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy are excellent while avoiding excessive solid solution of excessive elements in the aluminum matrix. In one embodiment, the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, In, and Ni is 5.5-9%, preferably 6-8.6%, more preferably 6.5-7.05%, and specifically 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, or 9%.

During the aging stage, Cd forms a large number of Cd-vacancy clusters, promoting and accelerating the precipitation of the CuAl2 phase, thereby reducing the solid solubility of the above-mentioned elements in the aluminum matrix.

[0087] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy, comprising the following steps:
[0088] The aluminum source is heated at a temperature of 720-780°C to obtain aluminum liquid, wherein the aluminum liquid may contain Mn, Cr, Ti, and V;
[0089] Adding Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni to the aluminum liquid, performing a second heating treatment at 700-750° C. for 10-30 minutes to obtain an alloy liquid;
[0090] After refining, degassing, and slagging the alloy liquid, the composition and content are tested; and
[0091] After the composition and content are tested to be qualified, the alloy liquid is subjected to die casting treatment and aging treatment to obtain Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy. The Al-Si-Fe-Mg high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy contains 5-8% Si by mass, 0.4-0.8% Fe by mass, 0.001-0.05% Cu by mass, 0.05-0.4% Mg by mass, 0.005-0.04% Sr by mass, 0.001-0.05% Zn by mass, 0.001-0.05% Ni by mass, 0-0.1% Co by mass, 0-0.01% Be by mass, and 0.0001-0.1% RE by mass, wherein the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is not more than 9%, and the sum of the mass percentages of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%.
[0092] The aluminum source is at least one of primary aluminum, aluminum ingot, and recycled aluminum. The aluminum source generally contains impurities including Mn, Ti, Cr, or V.
[0093] Liquid aluminum produced by industrial aluminum electrolytic cells is purified, clarified, and deslagging before being cast into commercial aluminum ingots, typically with an aluminum content of no more than 99.8%. These ingots are alloys made from pure aluminum and recycled aluminum, with other elements such as Si, Cu, Mg, and Fe added according to international standards or specific requirements to improve the castability, chemical properties, and physical properties of pure aluminum. Recycled aluminum, also known as "secondary aluminum," is aluminum alloy or metal obtained by remelting and refining scrap aluminum, aluminum alloy scrap, or aluminum-containing waste. The primary raw materials for smelting recycled aluminum are industrial scrap (such as aircraft parts, engines, and casing covers) and scrap aluminum generated during aluminum processing (including plates, pipes, bars, profiles, scrap, and foil). It is understood that the aluminum source can also include sources other than primary aluminum, ingots, and recycled aluminum.
[0094] At least one of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni may be added in the form of an alloy or a single substance.
[0095] The method for preparing the Al-Si-Fe-Mg high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy further includes the step of adding at least one of In, Nb, Bi, Ge, Mo, Ag, Sn, Te, and Cd to the aluminum liquid. At least one of In, Nb, Bi, Ge, Mo, Ag, Sn, Te, and Cd may be added in the form of an alloy or a single element. The mass percentage content of In may be 0-0.009%.

[0096] In one embodiment, the aging treatment is performed at a temperature of 280 to 350° C. and for a time of 0.05 to 15 hours. The temperature of the aging treatment may be 280° C., 285° C., 290° C., 295° C., 300° C., 305° C., 310° C., 315° C., 320° C., 325° C., 330° C., 335° C., 340° C., 345° C., or 350° C.; and the time of the aging treatment may be 0.05 h, 0.06 h, 0.07 h, 0.08 h, 0.09 h, 0.1 h, 0.2 h, 0.3 h, 0.4 h, 0.5 h, 0.6 h, 0.7 h, 0.8 h, 0.9 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, 11 h, 12 h, 13 h, 14 h, or 15 h. During the aging treatment, the size of the precipitated phase gradually changes to smaller, and all or almost all of the alloying elements dissolved in the alloy are precipitated, which increases the pinning effect on dislocations and greatly improves the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy.
[0097] In another embodiment, the aging treatment, which may also be referred to as a multi-stage aging treatment, includes a primary low-temperature aging treatment, a secondary low-temperature aging treatment, and a tertiary high-temperature aging treatment. The temperature of the primary low-temperature aging treatment is -100°C to -200°C, and the time is 1 to 15 hours; the temperature of the secondary low-temperature aging treatment is 0 to 70°C, and the time is 1 to 24 hours; the temperature of the tertiary high-temperature aging treatment is 280 to 350°C, and the time is 0.05 to 15 hours. The temperature of the primary low-temperature aging treatment may specifically be -200°C, -190°C, -180°C, -170°C, -160°C, -150°C, -140°C, -130°C, -120°C, -110°C, or -100°C. The time of the primary low-temperature aging treatment may specifically be 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours, or 15 hours. The temperature of the secondary low-temperature aging treatment may specifically be 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, or 70°C. The time of the secondary low-temperature aging treatment may specifically be 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours, 15 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours, 18 hours, 19 hours, 20 hours, 21 hours, 22 hours, 23 hours, or 24 hours. The temperature of the three-stage high-temperature aging treatment may specifically be 280° C., 285° C., 290° C., 295° C., 300° C., 305° C., 310° C., 315° C., 320° C., 325° C., 330° C., 335° C., 340° C., 345° C., or 350° C. The time of the three-stage high-temperature aging treatment may specifically be 0.05 h, 0.06 h, 0.07 h, 0.08 h, 0.09 h, 0.1 h, 0.2 h, 0.3 h, 0.4 h, 0.5 h, 0.6 h, 0.7 h, 0.8 h, 0.9 h, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, 11 h, 12 h, 13 h, 14 h, or 15 h.
[0098] During the primary low-temperature aging process, cryogenic treatment inhibits the segregation of atoms such as Mg, Cu, Ni, and Si, while also creating a greater undercooling degree in the alloy, significantly increasing the extent of the GP zone. This facilitates the nucleation rate during the subsequent high-temperature process and allows for more complete precipitation of alloying elements. Aluminum alloys also experience volume and lattice contraction during the low-temperature process, increasing the supersaturation of alloying elements and the precipitation of solute atoms, which in turn increases the content of alloying elements participating in aging. The reduced solubility of solute atoms leads to their segregation at dislocations, significantly enhancing the formation of GP zones. During the secondary low-temperature aging process, the segregated atoms, under the influence of internal stress and dislocations, diffuse uniformly within the aluminum matrix and at grain boundaries. During the tertiary high-temperature aging process, the GP zone gradually transforms into smaller precipitates with a larger volume fraction, extracting all or nearly all of the alloying elements dissolved within the alloy. This increases the pinning effect on dislocations and significantly improves the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy.
[0099] The molten alloy is die-casted at a temperature of 660-700°C, with the die-casting machine operating at a speed of 0.23-2.5 m / s. It is understood that the die-casting process of the present invention is a conventional die-casting process, and vacuum die-casting can also be used to die-cast the molten alloy. The strength (e.g., yield strength and tensile strength) and elongation of the aluminum alloy after vacuum die-casting are higher than those of the aluminum alloy after conventional die-casting.
[0100] The refining process is performed at a temperature of 690-750°C for 10-20 minutes. The refining agent comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 60-70 parts KF, 50-60 parts NaCl, 40-60 parts LiCl, 20-25 parts cryolite, 10-25 parts AIF3, 10-15 parts CaF2, 5-10 parts light calcium carbonate, 15-20 parts graphite powder, 10-20 parts talc, 20-30 parts MgCl2, and 10-30 parts rare earth salt. The rare earth salt is a combination of one or more of a light rare earth chloride, fluoride, or nitric acid compound. The rare earth salt can be a combination of one or more of a heavy rare earth chloride, fluoride, or nitric acid compound. The mass ratio of the refining agent to the alloy solution is 0.0013-0.0018:1.
[0101] It is understandable that when the content of each component in the alloy liquid after degassing and slag removal treatment meets the standards, subsequent treatments such as die casting will be carried out. Among them, the qualified aluminum alloy contains 5-8% Si by mass, 0.4-0.8% Fe by mass, 0.001-0.05% Cu by mass, 0.05-0.4% Mg by mass, 0.005-0.04% Sr by mass, 0.001-0.05% Zn by mass, 0.001-0.05% Ni by mass, 0-0.1% Co by mass, 0-0.01% Be by mass, 0.0001-0.1% RE by mass, and Al and unavoidable impurities, wherein the sum of the mass percentage contents of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is not more than 9%, and the sum of the mass percentage contents of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%. If the test fails, the corresponding elements can be added to adjust until the composition and content are qualified.
[0102] In the technical solution of the present invention, the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy prepared by the preparation method of the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy contains 5-8% Si by mass, 0.4-0.8% Fe by mass, 0.001-0.05% Cu by mass, 0.05-0.4% Mg by mass, 0.005-0.04% Sr by mass, and 0.00 1-0.05% Zn, 0.001-0.05% Ni by mass, 0-0.1% Co by mass, 0-0.01% Be by mass, and 0.0001-0.1% RE by mass, wherein the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni is no more than 9%, and the sum of the mass percentages of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%. Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni within the above content range interact with each other as a whole, ensuring that the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy has better formability while also having excellent mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. The details are as follows:
[0103] (1) When the mass percentage of Si is 5-8%, on the one hand, Si can improve the fluidity and density of aluminum alloy, thereby improving the forming performance and mechanical properties of aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Si can react with other elements as much as possible to form a second phase to avoid the adverse effect of Si dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy. Specifically, Si can react with Al, Fe, Cu, Mg, Mn, etc. to form Mg2Si, AlFeSi, AlMnSi, AlFeSiCu, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMnSi and other second phases;
[0104] (2) When the mass percentage of Fe is 0.4-0.8%, on the one hand, Fe can reduce the tendency of aluminum alloy castings to stick to the mold and improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Fe can react with other elements as much as possible to form a second phase to avoid the adverse effect of Fe dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Fe can react with Al, Si, Mg, Cu, Mn, Ni, etc. to form Al3Fe, AlFeSi, AlFeMgSi, AlFeSiCu, AlFeSiNi, AlFeMgSiNi, AlFeMnSi, FeNiAl9 and other second phases;
[0105] (3) When the mass percentage of Cu is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Cu can improve the mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and fatigue resistance of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Cu can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Cu dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Cu can react with Al, Fe, Si, Mg, Zn, etc. to form CuAl2, AlFeSiCu, Al2CuZn, (CuMg)Al2 and other second phases. In addition, Cu can also promote the precipitation of Mg2Si, Mg2Zn, Mg2SiZn, (CuMg)Al2, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMgSiNi and other second phases, increase their volume fraction and dispersion, and reduce the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0106] (4) When the mass percentage of Mg is 0.05-0.4%, on the one hand, Mg can improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Mg can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Mg dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Mg can react with Al, Fe, Si, Cu, Zn, Ni, etc. to form Mg2Si, Mg2Zn, Mg2SiZn, (CuMg)Al2, AlFeMgSi, AlFeMgSiNi and other second phases. Mg can also promote the precipitation of CuAl2, AlFeSiCu, Al2CuZn, (CuMg)Al2 and other second phases, increase their volume fraction and dispersion, and reduce the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0107] (5) When the mass percentage of Sr is 0.005-0.04%, on the one hand, Sr can be modified through the heterogeneous nucleation theory or twin valley mechanism to refine the second phase such as eutectic silicon, improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy, and also transform the β-AlFeSi phase in the ingot into the Chinese character α-AlFeSi phase to improve the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, Sr can preferentially combine with elements such as Fe, Cu, Mn, Cr, and Si to form dispersion strengthening to avoid the adverse effect of Sr dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. In addition, Sr can also promote the precipitation of phases such as CuAl2 and Mg2Si to reduce the solid solubility of these alloying elements in the aluminum matrix.
[0108] (6) When the mass percentage of Zn is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Zn can improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys, and on the other hand, Zn can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Zn dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Specifically, Zn can react with Al, Mg, Cu and Si to form second phases such as MgZn2, Mg2SiZn, Al2CuZn, etc. In addition, Zn can eliminate elemental Si to reduce the adverse effect of elemental Si on the performance of aluminum alloys. Zn can also promote the precipitation of phases such as Mg2Si and Al2Cu, thereby improving mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.
[0109] (7) When the mass percentage of Ni is 0.001-0.05%, on the one hand, Ni can be used to improve the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. On the other hand, Ni can react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Ni dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys. Specifically, Ni can react with Al, Fe, Mg, Si, etc. to form Al3Ni, AlFeSiNi, AlFeMgSiNi, FeNiAl9 and other second phases, promoting the precipitation of elements such as Cu, Mg, Zn, Si, Fe dissolved in the alloy; Ni can also refine grains, promote the precipitation of strengthening phases such as CuAl2, (CuMg)Al2, Mg2Si, increase the volume fraction and dispersion of the precipitated phase, and reduce the solid solubility of alloy elements in the aluminum matrix. In addition, Ni and Cu, Mg can promote each other's precipitation to improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of aluminum alloys.
[0110] (8) When the mass percentage of Co is not greater than 0.1%, Co can refine the grains to improve the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. On the other hand, it can also react with other elements to form a second phase as much as possible to avoid the adverse effect of Be dissolved in the aluminum matrix on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. Specifically, Co can react with Al, Fe, Si, etc. to form Al 15 (Fe, Co) 3 Si 2, Al 3 (Fe, Co) and other second phases. In addition, Co has a refining effect on the Al 3 Fe phase, which can transform the coarse needle-shaped and flake-shaped β-Al 3 Fe phase into small flower-shaped and fine strip-shaped α-Al 15 (Fe,Co)3Si2 phase can also promote the α-Al 15 The precipitation of (Fe, Co) 3 Si 2 phase further improves the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. The composite addition of Ni and Co can effectively modify Fe and transform the free Fe into the second phase. The composite addition of Co, Ni and Be can quickly reduce the solid solubility of each other in the alloy and increase the volume fraction of the second phase, thereby improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.
[0111] (9) When the mass percentage of Be is not more than 0.01%, Be can transform the eutectic Si phase from a lamellar phase to a fine phase to refine the Si phase, thereby reducing or eliminating the adverse effects of Si on the aluminum alloy. Be can also transform the plate-like β intermediate phase into a relatively harmless Chinese character-shaped Be-Fe (Al8Fe2SiBe) phase to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of Fe on the properties of the aluminum alloy. It can also reduce the formation of Mg-containing Fe-rich phases, thereby increasing the Mg content in the aging process. On the other hand, Be can also combine with vacancies to prevent the migration and disappearance of vacancies. The addition of Be significantly increases the nucleation rate of the metastable phase, improves the strengthening effect of aging, and reduces the solid solubility of the above elements in the aluminum matrix. Ni and Be are combined, which greatly promotes the precipitation of the second phase and reduces the solid solubility of the alloying elements in the matrix.
[0112] (10) When the mass percentage of RE is 0.0001-0.1%, RE can form a rare earth active film on the surface of the Fe-containing phase or combine with Al, Fe, Ti and other atoms to form rare earth compounds to effectively reduce the solid solution of harmful elements in the aluminum matrix. It can also transform the long strip β-Fe phase into the spherical α-Fe phase and transform the elemental Si. On the other hand, RE can also promote the precipitation of dispersed phases such as CuAl2, (CuMg)Al2, Mg2Si, etc., and improve the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. In addition, RE can also refine the grains, second phases and precipitated phases (for example, it can refine Al3RE, Al3Fe, Mg2Si phases, etc.), further improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys.
[0113] When the sum of the mass percentages of Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni within the above content range is not more than 9% and the sum of the mass percentages of Cu, Mg, and Zn is 0.052-0.5%, Si, Fe, Cu, Mg, Sr, Zn, Co, Be, RE, and Ni interact with each other as a whole, thereby removing the contents of transition elements Ti, Mn, Cr, and V in the aluminum matrix that have a great influence on thermal conductivity, refining the grains, reducing the solid solubility of the alloying elements in the aluminum matrix, and increasing the volume fraction of the precipitated phase, thereby reducing the adverse effects of the alloying elements on the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy and improving the comprehensive properties of the aluminum alloy (including mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and forming properties, etc.). At the same time, under the further action of aging treatment, the solid solubility of each element in the aluminum matrix is further reduced, which can eliminate the adverse effects of alloying elements on the thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy as much as possible, and the second phase (such as Al3Fe, Mg2Si, Al2Cu, AlFeSiNi, AlMnSi phases, etc.) can also be refined in the aluminum matrix and at the grain boundaries or within the grain boundaries, greatly improving the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.
[0114] The present invention also provides a heat dissipation structure. At least a portion of the heat dissipation structure is made of the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy or the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy prepared by the method for preparing the Al-Si-Fe-Mg series high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy.
