Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy components, and in particular relates to a method for designing the composition of a high-strength and high-modulus rare earth-modified Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight and high-strength materials are an important link in achieving breakthroughs in the aerospace industry. As one of the typical lightweight and high-strength materials, aluminum alloy has the advantages of low density (about 1 / 3 of steel), light weight, good strength, strong resistance to damping and vibration, high dimensional stability, strong electromagnetic shielding capability, and high recycling rate. Therefore, aluminum alloy is widely used in the aerospace field to achieve the purpose of lightweighting and improve the performance of aircraft and aircraft carriers.

[0003] Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloys and Al-Zn-Mg aluminum alloys are widely used in the aerospace field, but the research and application of Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloys are still far from enough. In the research of civil aviation aluminum alloys, it was found that aluminum alloys are still insufficient in strength and modulus, and cannot meet the application needs of the civil aviation field for new lightweight, high-strength and high-modulus materials.

[0004] In order to improve the research of Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloys and realize their wide application, domestic and foreign researchers have carried out many studies based on the relationship between alloy composition, microstructure and mechanical properties. Studies have shown that the type and content of aluminum alloy elements play an important role in the evolution of microstructure and the regulation of material properties. Adding 0.40-0.80% Ce and 0.20-0.60% La to Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloys can significantly improve the strength and modulus of the alloy, among which Ce can reduce microstructural defects; La element promotes the increase of grain boundaries in aluminum alloys to hinder dislocation movement and crystal plane slip. However, the addition amount and type of each element in this type of alloy are currently determined by experiments, which makes the entire test cycle too long and the type and amount of element addition difficult to determine.

In the specification of the present invention and the following examples, unless otherwise specified, "%" means weight percentage, "part" means weight part, and ratio means weight ratio.

[0023] The invention discloses a method for designing the composition of a high-strength and high-modulus rare earth-modified Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy, comprising the following steps: S1, consult existing data, clarify the alloy composition space, clarify the alloy service performance requirements and target mechanical performance requirements, namely tensile strength, target modulus and hardness.

[0024] S2, Thermodynamic calculation: Use simulation software to calculate and simulate the alloy composition, perform thermodynamic calculations, and calculate the precipitation phase, modulus and diffusion rate of the Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy composition. Combined with the target precipitation phase, modulus and diffusion rate, determine the content of Al, Cu and Mg.

[0025] Specifically, for Al-Mg-Cu alloys, since Al alloy is the main phase and Al is the balance element, the Mg and Cu alloy components are input, thermodynamic calculations are performed, and a composition-phase content change diagram is output. Based on the phase diagram, the content of the main element is determined, and the corresponding precipitation phase is predicted using the calculation software. The two elements Cu and Mg are optimized and output to obtain a high modulus equilibrium composition. During the calculation process, combined with the Al-Cu-Mg phase diagram, the Al and Cu alloy components are first input, the alloy modulus value is output, and the optimal Al and Cu content for achieving a high modulus aluminum alloy is obtained; then the Al and Mg alloy components are input, the alloy modulus value is output, and the optimal Al and Mg content for achieving a high modulus aluminum alloy is obtained. Within the two composition ranges that have been calculated above, the modulus of the Al-Cu-Mg alloy at different Cu contents and different Mg contents is calculated respectively, and within the set composition range, the diffusion rate of the Cu content and Mg in the Al matrix is ​​calculated respectively. The process includes the following steps: S21, determining the precipitation phase according to the Al, Mg and Cu contents in combination with the phase diagram, and if the precipitation phase is not the target precipitation phase, adjusting the Mg and Cu contents until the precipitation phase meets the requirements, and obtaining a first content range of Mg and a first content range of Cu; S22, combining the Al-Cu-Mg phase diagram, adjusting the Al content and the Cu content to obtain the modulus of the Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy, and judging whether the modulus meets the target modulus, if not, adjusting the Al and Cu contents until the target modulus is met, and determining the second content range of Cu in combination with the first content range of Cu; the final second content range of Cu must be within the first content range and can meet the target modulus; S23, combining the Al-Cu-Mg phase diagram, adjusting the Al content and the Mg content to obtain the modulus of the Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloy, and judging whether the modulus meets the target modulus, if not, adjusting the Al and Mg contents until the target modulus is met, and combining the first Mg content range to determine the second Mg content range; the final second Mg content range must be within the first content range and can meet the target modulus; S24, respectively calculating the diffusion coefficients of Cu and Mg in the Al-Cu-Mg alloy, and determining the final Cu content and Mg content in the second content range of Cu and the second content range of Mg in combination with the diffusion coefficients.

[0026] In this process, based on the service requirements of the alloy, combined with the target precipitation phase, modulus and diffusion rate, the final optimal Mg content and Cu content are determined. In the determination process, the importance of the factors considered is target precipitation phase> modulus> diffusion rate, that is, the Mg content and Cu content are determined first to generate the target precipitation phase. If the precipitation phase is not the target precipitation phase, the Mg content and Cu content are adjusted; further, the element content when the modulus is the largest is selected, and further, the content of the two is determined based on the diffusion rate.

[0027] Preferably, when the content of Cu or Mg is greater than a certain value and the variation range of the respective modulus decreases, it means that the contribution of the increase of the component to the increase of the modulus becomes smaller, and this value is selected as the determined element content.

[0028] S3, select the type of added elements. The added elements can be rare earth elements, trace elements, or rare earth elements and trace elements. Consider the differences in diffusion rates and equivalents of rare earth elements and trace elements in the aluminum matrix as well as economic benefits, and reasonably select rare earth elements and trace elements.

[0029] Specifically, the concepts of economic benefit factor k and evaluation parameter C are proposed. The larger the evaluation parameter, the better. The impact of economic benefits is determined by the economic benefit factor k. This process quantifies the selection indexes of rare earth and trace elements, and the types of trace elements can be determined according to different needs. Different formulas are used for calculation of different elements. Trace elements are calculated using formula (1), and rare earth elements are calculated using formula (2).

[0030]

[0031] Among them, A1 is the element equivalent, A2 is the order of magnitude of the diffusion rate, and A3 is the market price.

[0032] S4, determine the rare earth element content: use the calculation software to predict the corresponding volume fraction and nucleation driving force and draw a graph to determine the rare earth and trace element content; consult relevant literature, comprehensively consider the role of rare earth and trace elements and economic benefits, and reasonably select the type and composition design range of rare earth and trace elements. Within the set trace element composition range, calculate the nucleation driving force and volume fraction of rare earth modified Al-Cu-Mg alloy at different rare earth and trace element contents.

[0033] Specifically, input the single added elements one by one, obtain the respective content-volume fraction graph, and determine the content of rare earth and trace elements in combination with the graph. When the content of a rare earth or trace element is greater than a certain value, the volume fraction reaches the maximum value and does not change, then the value is the content of the trace element.

[0034] During this process, the microstructure design direction was clarified according to the service requirements of the alloy, and based on the above calculation results, the design ideas of alloy trace components were proposed and the alloy trace components were clarified.

[0035] S5: Mechanical properties prediction: Based on the alloy composition and content determined above, the calculation software is used to calculate and predict the equilibrium precipitation phase and mechanical properties of the material, and compared with the predetermined indicators, and finally the optimized output meets the standard composition.

[0036] In S5, based on the alloy composition determined above, a calculation software is used to perform thermodynamic calculations and output mechanical properties. If the predicted performance cannot meet the index performance, it is necessary to return to step S3 to adjust the economic benefit factor and repeat the subsequent steps until the performance meets the standard. The specific predicted performance must ensure that the predicted and calculated precipitation phase is the target precipitation phase, the mechanical properties meet the requirements, and the modulus reaches the target modulus.

[0037] Further, verification tests are carried out in the laboratory. If the tensile strength and modulus meet the service requirements, the designed alloy composition is output; otherwise, the cycle is repeated. Specifically, the determined alloy composition is imported into relevant prediction software (such as Jmatpro software, etc.), the yield strength of the alloy composition is output and compared with the service environment requirements. If it meets the requirements, the alloy composition is output. If it does not meet the requirements, the economic benefit factor k is increased, and the remaining steps are repeated until the design target is met.

[0038] The present invention is based on the concept of material genetic engineering. By integrating multiple prediction models and utilizing computational simulation methods, it integrates component design, modulus calculation, and strength prediction into one. Based on computational simulation, it realizes efficient collaborative design and optimization of components and high-strength and high-modulus performance, improves R&D efficiency, shortens the R&D cycle, and reduces R&D costs.

[0039] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0040] Example 1 (1) Existing data are consulted to clarify the alloy composition space and the alloy service performance requirements. The specific composition range of the Al-Cu-Mg alloy is shown in Table 1, where the alloy service performance is the yield strength. In this embodiment, the yield strength is ≥380 MPa and the target modulus is 70 MPa.

[0041] Table 1 Design range of Al-Cu-Mg alloy composition

[0042] (2) Based on Jmatpro software, within the set composition range, thermodynamic calculations are first performed to obtain a phase composition change diagram, such as Figure 1The modulus of Al-Cu-Mg alloys with different Cu and Mg contents are calculated respectively, and a composition modulus diagram of Al-Cu-Mg alloy is formed, as shown in Figure 3 shown.

[0043] (3) Based on ThermoCalc, the Cu content and the diffusion rate of Mg in the Al matrix were calculated within the set composition range. The specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0044] Table 2 Diffusion rates of Cu and Mg in Al matrix

[0045] (4) According to the service requirements of the alloy, the microstructure design direction is clarified, and based on the above calculation results, the design ideas of the main components of the alloy are proposed. Figure 1 When the mass percentage of aluminum (Al) as a balance element reaches 93%, the most θ (Al2Cu) phase and S (Al2CuMg) phase can be obtained. Figure 2 It can be seen that when the mass percentage of copper (Cu) exceeds 5%, the modulus gradually decreases with the increase of its content. Comparing the diffusion rates of copper and magnesium (Mg) in the aluminum matrix, it is found that the diffusion rate of copper is much lower than that of magnesium, so the higher the magnesium content, the better. Therefore, the mass percentage of copper is determined to be 5% and the mass percentage of magnesium is 2%.

[0046]

[0047] Among them, A1 is the element equivalent, A2 is the order of magnitude of the diffusion rate, A3 is the market price, and k is the economic benefit factor (0 <k<1)。

[0048] In the above formula, trace elements are calculated using formula (1), and rare earth elements are calculated using formula (2). The economic benefit factor is selected as 0.9, and after calculation and comparison, La and Zr are selected as trace design elements. The existing data are then consulted to determine the composition design range of the three trace elements. The specific range is shown in Table 4.

[0049] Table 3 Element data of Al-Cu-Mg alloy modified by common trace elements

[0050] Table 4 Design range of rare earth and trace element composition

[0051] Furthermore, in ThermoCalc, within the set trace element composition range, the volume fraction of rare earth modified Al-Cu-Mg alloy with different rare earth and trace element contents is calculated. The specific results are as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0052] 6. According to the service requirements of the alloy, the direction of microstructure design is clarified, and based on the above calculation results, the design ideas of alloy trace components are proposed. Figure 3 It can be seen that when the La mass fraction is ≥1.7%, the volume fraction reaches the maximum value; when the Zr mass fraction is ≥0.35%, the volume fraction reaches the maximum value, so the mass percentage of La is determined to be 1.7% and the mass percentage of Zr is 0.35%.

[0053] 7. Performance prediction and inspection: The above alloy is divided into mass percentages: Cu is 5%, Mg is 2%, La is 1.7%, Zr is 0.35%, and Al is the balance. It is imported into JmatPro software and the yield strength of the alloy is calculated to be 397.46MPa. Because the predicted performance meets the target, the mass percentage of the alloy composition is output: Cu is 5%, Mg is 2%, La is 1.7%, Zr is 0.35%, and Al is the balance.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
