Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy preparation, and particularly relates to a high-modulus heat-resistant low-cost aluminum alloy material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloy materials have the advantages of light weight, high specific strength and good processing performance, and are widely used in the fields of aerospace, weapons and equipment, etc. In particular, they play an irreplaceable role in equipment lightweighting and improving combat performance such as mobility and reliability. However, after the use temperature of aluminum alloy exceeds 150 °C, its performance begins to decline sharply, making it difficult to meet the high-temperature service conditions of equipment. Therefore, developing high-strength heat-resistant aluminum alloys is the key research direction in the field of aluminum alloy materials at present.

[0003] The existing literature CN103484739B discloses an Al-Cu-Mg-Mn series high-strength heat-resistant aluminum alloy profile and a manufacturing method thereof. The alloy components are Cu: 3.5-4.2 wt%, Mg: 0.3-0.4 wt%, Zr: 0.3-0.4 wt%, Mn: 0.2-0.3 wt%, Mo: 0.08-0.12 wt%, Ni: 0.03-0.05 wt%, Ti: 0.04-0.08 wt%, V: 0.02-0.03 wt%, B: 0.03-0.04 wt%, Fe: 0.02-0.03 wt%, Ce: 0.04-0.07 wt%, Er: 0.03-0.05 wt%, Nd: 0.05-0.08 wt%, and the balance is Al. Although the room-temperature tensile strength of this aluminum alloy profile reaches 589 MPa, the yield strength is 465 MPa, and the elongation rate is 13.2%, its high-temperature strength and elastic modulus are not described in detail, and due to the addition of expensive rare earth elements such as Mo, Ce, Er, and Nd, the cost is relatively high. In addition, the literature CN112620387B discloses a method for preparing a high-modulus aluminum alloy conductive tube with nano-reinforced phases. SiC nano-particles or carbon nanotubes CNTs are used to reinforce 6005 aluminum alloy, and the prepared aluminum matrix composite material has relatively excellent room-temperature properties. Its room-temperature elastic modulus reaches 99 GPa, and the tensile strength reaches 326 MPa, but its high-temperature elastic modulus and strength are still unknown.

[0004] Research shows that introducing nano-reinforced phases into aluminum alloy materials can effectively improve their mechanical properties, but how to uniformly and effectively introduce nano-reinforced phases (especially high-temperature stable nano-particles) has always been a technical difficulty faced by this field. In the existing operation methods, usually, the lump of nano-reinforced phases wrapped with aluminum foil is directly added to the melt. The main drawback of this method is that the nano-reinforced phases cannot be uniformly introduced, resulting in a large part (especially the end part) of the prepared material being waste that needs to be cut off. Summary of the Invention

[0005] At least to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-modulus heat-resistant low-cost aluminum alloy material and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0008] As one of the preferred solutions of the present invention, in its raw materials, Cu: 5.2 wt%, Mg: 2.4 wt%, Mn: 0.4 wt%, Zn: 0.1 wt%, Ti: 0.08 wt%, Ni: 0.05 wt%, and the average particle size of nano-TiB particles: 80 nm: 2 wt%. 2 The balance is Al and inevitable impurity elements.

[0009] As the second preferred solution of the present invention, in its raw materials, Cu: 3.5 wt%, Mg: 2 wt%, Mn: 0.5 wt%, Zn: 0.15 wt%, Ti: 0.09 wt%, Ni: 0.06 wt%, and the average particle size of nano-TiB particles: 80 nm: 3 wt%. 2 The balance is Al and inevitable impurity elements.

[0010] A preparation method of the aforementioned aluminum alloy material, the steps include: Step 1, using pure aluminum, pure magnesium, pure zinc, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy, aluminum-titanium alloy, aluminum-nickel alloy, and nano-TiB particles as raw materials, and proportioning according to the aforementioned weight percentages; wherein, the nano-TiB particles are encapsulated with pure aluminum tubes; 2 The nano-TiB particles are encapsulated with pure aluminum tubes; 2 The nano-TiB particles are encapsulated with pure aluminum tubes; Step 2, after all the pure aluminum ingots in the container are melted, successively add pure magnesium, pure zinc, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy, aluminum-titanium alloy, aluminum-nickel alloy. After all the added raw materials are melted, stir the interior of the melt to make the melt composition uniform to obtain an intermediate melt; Step 3, let the obtained intermediate melt stand and cool down to 580 - 620 °C to make it in a semi-solid state, then carry out slag skimming treatment, and then mechanically stir the melt through a stirring device. After the melt forms a stable vortex, quickly add the nano-TiB particles encapsulated with pure aluminum tubes 2Particles are added. After the addition is completed, mechanical stirring is continued in one direction for 10 - 15 minutes, and then in the reverse direction for 10 - 15 minutes to obtain a mixed melt. Step 4: The obtained mixed melt is allowed to stand and rapidly heated to 700 - 720 °C. Meanwhile, an ultrasonic device and an electromagnetic stirring device are turned on to perform an external field intervention treatment on the melt. Among them, the direction of the sound wave generated by the ultrasonic device is the axial direction of the melt, and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic stirring device is the transverse direction of the melt. Step 5: After step 4 is completed, the melt is allowed to stand and then cast into an ingot mold preheated to 250 - 300 °C to obtain an ingot after completion. Step 6: The obtained ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment to obtain a blank. The homogenization treatment time is calculated according to the diameter or thickness of the ingot: t = A / 1.5 (mm / min) + 60 min. Step 7: The obtained blank is directly subjected to extrusion deformation. The extrusion ratio is not less than 10:1. The extrusion temperature of the blank is 440 - 480 °C, and the extrusion rate is 3 - 6 mm / s. The extruded bar is subjected to water cooling treatment. Step 7: After step 7 is completed, the bar is subjected to secondary strengthening and toughening treatment. The solution temperature is 500 - 505 °C, and the holding time is 5 - 7 h. It is quenched in water within 20 s after the holding is completed. The aging temperature is 185 - 190 °C, and the holding time is 18 - 24 h.

[0011] In order to uniformly and effectively introduce nano - TiB 2 particle reinforced phase, the pure aluminum tube encapsulating nano - TiB 2 particles uses a jacketed tube. The nano - TiB 2 particles are located in the inner cavity of the jacketed tube. The inner wall of the jacketed tube is 100 - 200 mm larger than the axis of the container and is located outside the stirring shaft. The thickness of the inner cavity of the jacketed tube is 3 - 8 mm.

[0012] In order to more uniformly and effectively introduce nano - TiB 2 particle reinforced phase, the inner cavity of the jacketed tube has several mutually independent and uniformly arranged small chambers, and the nano - TiB 2 particles are filled in the small chambers.

[0013] In another solution, the pure aluminum tube encapsulating nano - TiB 2 particles uses multiple straight tubes with an outer diameter of 20 mm and a wall thickness of 1 - 2.5 mm. All the straight tubes are arranged in a multi - point uniform manner around the axis of the container.

[0014] Preferably, the step of adding nano - TiB 2 particles encapsulated in a pure aluminum tube is as follows: The nano - TiB 2The pure aluminum tube of the particles is installed at the lower end of the telescopic rod of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is located above the container. Control the telescopic rod of the lifting mechanism to move downward at a constant speed according to the set speed until the pure aluminum tube containing nano-TiB 2 particles extends into the melt and completely melts.

[0015] Preferably, during the external field intervention treatment, the ultrasonic frequency is 20 kHz, the power is 25 - 30 KW, the magnetic field intensity is 800 - 1000 Gs, and the external field intervention treatment time is 20 - 30 min.

[0016] Beneficial effects: The present invention adopts a specific alloy composition ratio, and at the same time introduces high-modulus high-temperature stable phase nano-TiB 2 particles, and then cooperates with a specific introduction method of nano-TiB 2 particles and the combined external field of "ultrasonic + magnetic force" to jointly act, not only realizing the low-cost of the material end, but also realizing the efficient addition and uniform dispersion of nano-TiB 2 particles, and also efficiently improving the strength, toughness and elastic modulus of the aluminum alloy under high-temperature conditions. The key is to reduce the proportion of surface waste of the obtained material; the aluminum alloy material prepared by the present invention has good alloy tissue uniformity, uniform morphology and spatial distribution of strengthening phases, good stability and consistency of alloy properties, and excellent mechanical properties.

Detailed Embodiments

[0018] Combined with the drawings below, the technical solutions in the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Example 1

[0019] A high-modulus, heat-resistant and low-cost aluminum alloy material, the raw materials of which are composed of the following components by weight percentage: Cu: 5.2wt%, Mg: 2.4wt%, Mn: 0.4wt%, Zn: 0.1wt%, Ti: 0.08wt%, Ni: 0.05wt%, and nano-TiB with an average particle size of 80nm 2 particles: 2wt%, and the balance is Al and inevitable impurity elements.

[0020] The preparation method of the high-modulus, heat-resistant and low-cost aluminum alloy material in this embodiment is as follows: Step 1, using pure aluminum, pure magnesium, pure zinc, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy, aluminum-titanium alloy, aluminum-nickel alloy, and nano-TiB 2 particles as raw materials, proportioning according to the aforementioned weight percentages, and considering the burning loss of each alloy element; Step 2, after all the pure aluminum ingots in the container are melted, add pure magnesium, pure zinc, aluminum-copper alloy, aluminum-manganese alloy, aluminum-titanium alloy, and aluminum-nickel alloy in sequence. After all the added raw materials are melted, stir the inside of the melt to make the melt composition uniform to obtain an intermediate melt; Step 3, let the obtained intermediate melt stand and cool down to 615°C to make it in a semi-solid state, then skim the slag from the melt, and then mechanically stir the melt through a stirring device. After the melt forms a stable vortex, quickly add nano-TiB 2 particles encapsulated in a pure aluminum tube. After the addition is completed, continue to mechanically stir in one direction for 10 minutes, and then stir in the reverse direction for 15 minutes to obtain a mixed melt; In this step, as shown in Figures 1 to 3 The pure aluminum tube 3 encapsulating the nano-TiB 2 particles 5 adopts a jacketed tube. The nano-TiB 2 particles 5 are located in the inner cavity of the jacketed tube.

The nano-TiB 2 particles 5 are filled in the small chambers 6; the step of adding nano-TiB 2 particles 5 encapsulated in a pure aluminum tube 3 is as follows: Install the pure aluminum tube 3 containing nano-TiB 2 particles 5 at the lower end of the telescopic rod of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is located above the container 1. Control the telescopic rod of the lifting mechanism to move downwards at a set speed uniformly until the pure aluminum tube 3 containing nano-TiB 2 particles 5 extends into the melt 2 and is completely melted; In this solution, the phenomenon that the flow velocity at the edge of the melt 2 vortex is relatively slow and the flow velocity in the middle of the vortex is relatively fast is cleverly utilized. A pure aluminum tube 3 with the above-mentioned specific annular structure encapsulating nano-TiB 2 particles 5 is introduced near the melt 2 vortex in the container 1, ensuring the uniformity of material dispersion at the source of adding the particulate material, and realizing the efficient and uniform introduction of nano-TiB 2 particles 5 into the melt. It can also reduce the proportion of waste at the ends of the prepared materials. In particular, several independent and uniformly arranged small chambers 6 separated by a partition 4 cooperate with other features to jointly prevent the agglomeration of TiB 2 particles 5; Step 4: Keep the obtained mixed melt still and rapidly heat it to 720 °C. At the same time, turn on the ultrasonic device and the electromagnetic stirring device to perform external field intervention treatment on the melt. The ultrasonic frequency is 20 kHz, and the power is 30 kW; the electromagnetic stirring frequency is 15 Hz, the magnetic field strength is 900 Gs, and the external field intervention treatment time is 25 min; Step 5: After step 4 is completed, keep the mixed melt still for 10 min, and then pour it into an ingot mold preheated to 280 °C. After that, an ingot with a specification of Φ650 mm × 700 mm is obtained; Step 6: Heat the obtained ingot to 500 °C for homogenization treatment to obtain a blank, and the holding time is 493 min; Step 7: Directly perform extrusion deformation on the obtained blank. The extrusion ratio is 10:1, the extrusion temperature of the blank is 460 °C, the extrusion rate is 4 mm / s, and the extruded bar is subjected to water cooling treatment; Step 8: After step 7 is completed, perform secondary strengthening and toughening treatment on the bar. The solution temperature is 503 °C, hold for 6 h, and quench in water within 20 s after the holding is completed. The aging temperature is 190 °C, hold for 18 h, and a high-modulus heat-resistant low-cost aluminum alloy material (bar) is obtained.
