[0059] Experimental example
[0060] 1. Metallographic structure observation of the 3000 series aluminum alloys obtained in the above Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1
[0061] The 3000 series aluminum alloy obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 was cut into appropriate sizes on the rolling direction-normal surface using electric spark wire cutting, and metallographic specimens were prepared using cold mounting technology. The metallographic specimens were first coarsely ground with sandpaper, and then mechanically polished on a polishing machine using a diamond grinding paste with a particle size of 2.5 μm. The mechanically polished specimens were electrolytically polished and subsequently anodic coated on an Electromet 4 electrolytic polishing and etching instrument. The solution components and ratios used in the electrolytic polishing and anodic coating processes are shown in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. The metallographic structure of the coated metallographic specimens was observed using an Axiovert 200MAT metallographic microscope under polarized light.

[0065]
[0066] 2. Characterization and analysis of the 3000 series aluminum alloys obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1
[0067] The precipitates of the sample were observed using a transmission electron microscope of model Talos-F200X with an acceleration voltage of 200kV. The observation surface of the TEM sample is the rolling-transverse plane. First, a 10mm×10mm square block is cut on the rolling-transverse plane of the sample using electric spark wire cutting. The sample is evenly polished from both sides with sandpaper to obtain a thin slice close to the middle layer with a thickness of about 50μm. A circular disc with a diameter of 3mm is punched out with a puncher and double-sprayed on a Struers TenuPol-5 electrolytic double-spray instrument. The solutions and test parameters used for double spraying are shown in Table 4. The sample obtained after double spraying was thinned at a small angle using an ion thinning instrument (Ganta 691) to remove the oxides produced during double spraying. The acceleration voltage is 200kV. The EDS energy spectrum analysis system on the Talos-F200X transmission electron microscope is used for point analysis and surface scanning of elements. EDS analysis can obtain the elemental composition of the precipitates and the content of each element. The results are shown in Figures 2 to 5 shown.

[0069]
[0070] Combination Figures 2 to 5 It can be seen that the morphology of the precipitated phase and EDS analysis of the CC 3003 aluminum alloy sheet with 90% deformation annealed at 482℃ for 1h under different pressures. Figure 2 It can be seen that the precipitation phase of the plate annealed at normal pressure contains large-sized precipitation phase (1-3 μm) and fine precipitation phase (50-150 nm). The large-sized precipitation phase includes the initial precipitation phase before heat treatment and the secondary precipitation phase precipitated during heat treatment. Figure 3 The elemental analysis surface scans of Al, Mn, Si and Fe in 2 are given. It can be seen that the distribution of Mn and Fe is almost the same, and the number density of Mn and Fe is very high in the large precipitation phase area (Mn-rich area), but the number density is very low in the fine precipitation phase area (Mn-poor area). Different from this, the distribution of Si is relatively discrete and uniform. Figure 4 Given from Figure 2 The elemental analysis diagram of four representative precipitates selected from the above graphs shows that the four precipitates belong to Al6(Mn,Fe) phase and α-Al(Mn,Fe)Si phase. It is worth noting that when the pressure increases from normal pressure to 2 GPa, the fine precipitate phase disappears, such as Figure 5 (a), the same phenomenon also occurs in the plates annealed at 4 GPa and 6 GPa ( Figure 5(b) and (c)). In addition, with the increase of pressure, the number of large-sized precipitates increases and the particle size decreases; when the pressure increases to 6 GPa, the number of precipitates after annealing is large, and the particle size is 0.5-1.5 μm ( Figure 5 (c)).
[0071] At the beginning of the heating process of high pressure heat treatment, the annealing temperature is low, so the diffusion coefficient is very low, which makes the nucleation of the precipitation phase in the Mn-poor area very difficult. As the annealing temperature continues to increase, more and more Mn precipitates from the solid solution, and the diffusion coefficient of Mn in the Al matrix continues to increase, so new precipitation phases continue to precipitate from the matrix, and the precipitation process slowly extends to the Mn-poor area. However, due to the scarcity of Mn elements and insufficient time to grow, the size of the particles in the Mn-poor area is very small. After pressurization, the diffusion coefficient decreases, making it difficult for the fine precipitation phase in the Mn-poor area to nucleate, so the number of fine precipitation phases in the plate annealed under high pressure decreases sharply. With the further increase of pressure, the diffusion coefficient of atoms continues to decrease, and long-range diffusion is hindered, resulting in a decrease in the size of large particle precipitation phases. On the other hand, pressurization before heating is a cold deformation process. As the pressure increases, the degree of deformation becomes greater and greater, resulting in more serious lattice distortion, which provides a driving force for the nucleation of the precipitation phase in the Mn-rich area. At the same time, the cold deformation caused by pressurization also leads to an increase in dislocations in the plate. Dislocations are channels for the precipitation of solute atoms, which also leads to an increase in the nucleation rate of the precipitated phase. In summary, after pressurization, the fine precipitated phase disappears, the number of large-particle precipitated phases increases, but the particle size decreases.
[0072] 3. Metallographic and texture analysis of the 3000 series aluminum alloys obtained in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1
[0073] The texture of the cold-rolled and annealed samples was tested by X-ray diffraction using a Rigaku D / Max-2500. During the cold rolling process, the surface of the sample will undergo shear deformation due to the friction between the sample and the roller. Therefore, the sample for the texture test needs to be sanded off 1 / 4 of the layer to ensure the accuracy of the texture. The diffraction source of the X-ray is Cu target Kα radiation, and its characteristic wavelength λ is The test voltage is 40 kV, the working current is 200 mA, and the present invention uses the Schulz backscattering method to measure the pole figures of the three crystal planes (111), (200) and (220), and the maximum tilt angle is 75°. Figures 6 to 8 shown.
[0074] from Figure 6 It can be seen that the pressure during the preparation process has a great influence on the microstructure. Figure 7The changes in the recrystallized grain size along the RD and ND directions of the plate with 90% deformation annealed at 482℃ for 1h under different pressures are given. It can be seen that as the pressure increases from normal pressure to 2GPa, the recrystallized grain size along the RD direction decreases rapidly, while when the pressure increases from 2GPa to 6GPa, the recrystallized grain size along the RD direction decreases slowly; in contrast, when the pressure increases from normal pressure to 2GPa, the recrystallized grain size along the ND direction increases significantly, and then decreases slowly as the pressure increases from 2GPa to 6GPa.
[0075] After high pressure heat treatment, the elongated recrystallized grains disappeared, and the recrystallized grains were approximately equiaxed. As the pressure increased from normal pressure to 6GPa, the aspect ratio increased from 0.18 to 0.73. This can be attributed to the sharp decrease in the number of fine precipitated phases after pressurization, which led to the weakening of the pinning effect, so that the recrystallized grains can grow normally. At the same time, as the pressure increased from 2GPa to 6GPa, the size of the recrystallized grains along the RD and ND directions decreased. During the high pressure heat treatment process, the pressurization before heating is a cold deformation process, and with the increase of pressure, the degree of deformation is greater, which leads to the formation of a large number of dislocations in the plate, providing a position for the recrystallization nucleation in the subsequent annealing process, so the nucleation rate (N) increases. On the other hand, high pressure reduces the atomic diffusion coefficient, interface migration rate and orientation difference between small-angle subgrain boundaries, resulting in a decrease in the growth rate (G) of recrystallized grains.
[0076] Combination Figure 8 It can be seen that the recrystallization textures of CC 3003 aluminum alloy sheets with 90% deformation annealed at 482℃ for 1h under different pressures are mainly P, R-cube ND It can be seen that pressure has a strong effect on the recrystallization texture. As the pressure increases from normal pressure to 2 GPa, the strength of the M texture decreases significantly, and as the pressure further increases, the strength of the M texture remains almost unchanged, while the P texture and R-cube ND The strength of the texture increases significantly with increasing pressure.
[0077] During the annealing process of CC 3003 aluminum alloy, the recrystallization texture M is caused by co-precipitation and is very sensitive to co-precipitation, while high pressure can limit co-precipitation ( Figures 2 to 5 ), so the M texture is significantly weakened after pressurization. The formation of P-oriented grains is more likely to occur near the coarse precipitates distributed along the RD direction. During the high-pressure heat treatment, the plate with large deformation amount undergoes severe plastic deformation during the pressurization process before heating, which reduces the critical particle size of the PSN mechanism. In addition, high pressure can refine the size of the large particle precipitation phase ( Figures 2 to 5), which leads to the prevalence of PSN mechanism, so that the plate finally forms a strong P texture and R-cube ND Texture.
[0078] In summary, the present invention obtains a fine-grained structure with P and R-cube by ultra-high pressure heat treatment of CC AA 3003 aluminum alloy. ND The present invention effectively solves the problem of fine grain structure of 3000 series aluminum alloy and strong P and R-cube ND It solves the problem of the inability of textures to exist synergistically and provides a new method for controlling the macro texture of aluminum alloys after heat treatment.
