Description

[0016] On the other hand, the present invention also provides the application of the ultra-high strength aluminum alloy profile with low deformation resistance as described above in automotive profiles with a multi-cavity structure.

[0017] On the other hand, the present invention also provides the application of the ultra-high strength aluminum alloy profile with low deformation resistance as described above in automotive battery trays or automotive sill beams.

[0018] The present invention proposes a new type of ultra-high strength aluminum alloy profile with low deformation resistance. Through the double strengthening of ZnMgCu and MgSi, the mechanical properties of the material can be greatly improved, breaking through the limitation of only using a single component strengthening phase in traditional 6-series and 7-series alloys. At the same time, the unique aging treatment process avoids the decrease in corrosion resistance caused by high Zn and reduces the increase in deformation resistance caused by the solid solution of Mg and Cu elements inside the alloy during high-temperature extrusion, greatly improving the extrudability of the material.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects.

[0020] 1. The present invention breaks through the limitation of using only a single-component strengthening phase in traditional 6xxx and 7xxx alloys through the double overlapping strengthening phases of ZnMgCu and MgSi, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the material and achieving ultra-high strength.

[0021] 2. The present invention adopts a unique multi-stage aging treatment process to avoid the decline in corrosion resistance caused by a high Zn content, ensuring good corrosion resistance of the material.

[0022] 3. The present invention reduces the effect of the increase in deformation resistance caused by the solid solution of Mg and Cu elements inside the alloy during hot extrusion, greatly improving the extrudability of the material. Among alloys with the same strength, the deformation resistance at 500 °C is reduced by about 20%, and the extrusion efficiency can be increased by more than 30%, achieving low deformation resistance.

[0023] 4. The novel aluminum alloy prepared by the present invention simultaneously achieves the goals of ultra-high strength, good corrosion resistance, and low deformation resistance, and is very suitable for producing ultra-high strength profile automotive parts with complex cross-sections.

[0024] Some other beneficial effects of the present invention will become more obvious in the following description or be understood in practice. Detailed Embodiments

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] A method for preparing an ultra-high strength aluminum alloy profile with low to medium deformation resistance, the preparation steps are as follows:

[0027] 1. Prepare an aluminum rod, and the alloy composition of the aluminum rod is: Mg content 2.0% - 3.0%, Si content 0.8% - 1.4%, Zn content 3.0 - 4.5%, Fe content less than 0.3%, Mn content 0.1% - 0.3%, Cu content 0.4% - 0.8%, La content 0.05% - 0.20%, Sn content 0.05% - 0.20%, Zr content 0.05% - 0.20%, the content range of Mn + La + Zr is 0.3% - 0.5%, and the balance is Al.

[0028] In the alloy composition, elements such as Zn, Mg, Si, and Cu are mainly used to form ZnMgCu and MgSi strengthening phases during the solution aging process to significantly improve the material strength; Fe and Mn elements are mainly used to control the structure of the Fe phase formation while avoiding excessive consumption of Si by Fe to reduce the material strength; La is mainly used to purify impurity elements, improve the material plasticity, and reduce the deformation resistance; Sn is mainly used to avoid excessive precipitation of Mg elements in the first-stage low-temperature stage during the multi-stage aging process, which may lead to insufficient Mg and Si to form MgSi precipitation phases in the subsequent high-temperature aging stage.

[0029] II. Homogenization treatment: A three-stage homogenization treatment process is adopted. The first-stage homogenization temperature is 420°C - 460°C, and the first-stage homogenization time is 8h - 16h; the second-stage homogenization temperature is 500°C - 540°C, and the second-stage homogenization time is 4h - 12h; the third-stage homogenization temperature is 550°C - 570°C, and the third-stage homogenization time is 2h - 6h.

[0030] The purpose of the third-stage homogenization is to ensure that most of the Mg and all of the Zn and Cu elements complete solid solution through the first-stage homogenization treatment. The second-stage homogenization is to fully dissolve the eutectic phase to avoid the eutectic overburn defect caused by direct high temperature. Then, through the third-stage homogenization treatment, all of the Mg and Si elements complete solid solution, and it promotes the transformation and uniform distribution of the Fe phase.

[0031] III. Extrusion forming: The homogenized aluminum rod is extruded into an aluminum alloy profile with the required cross-section. Online solution is carried out during the extrusion process, and the extrusion exit temperature is ensured to be above 530°C, and the online quenching cooling rate is greater than 400°C / min.

[0032] IV. Aging treatment: The extruded aluminum alloy profile is subjected to multi-stage aging treatment to improve the strength. The first-stage aging treatment temperature is 80°C - 100°C, and the aging time is 4h - 8h; the second-stage aging treatment temperature is 120°C - 140°C, and the aging time is 10h - 20h; the third-stage aging treatment temperature is 160°C - 180°C, and the aging time is 2h - 6h.

[0033] The purpose of the multi-stage aging treatment is to first promote the precipitation of internal ZnMgCu strengthening phases and MgSi pre-β" phases through the low-temperature first and second-stage aging, and then promote the coarsening and disconnection of ZnMg strengthening phases at the grain boundaries through the third-stage aging to improve the corrosion resistance of the material, and promote the transformation of MgSi pre-β" phases to β" phases, simultaneously increasing the strengthening effect of MgSi strengthening phases.

[0034] To better demonstrate the progressiveness of the present invention, different examples and comparative examples are formed by adjusting the alloy composition and process parameters of the aluminum alloy profile. The comparison of the alloy composition and process parameters of each example and comparative example is shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The process parameter differences not shown in Table 2 are defaulted to be the same.

[0039] It can be seen from Table 1 to Table 3 that when the parameters of the homogenization treatment process or the aging treatment process change, the tensile strength and yield strength of the product both decrease significantly; when the silicon content is lower than the lower limit, the tensile strength and yield strength of the product both decrease significantly; when the contents of lanthanum, tin and zirconium are lower than the lower limit, the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of the product all decrease significantly.

[0040] In the present invention, the decrease in the deformation resistance is shown in Table 4.

[0042] It can be seen from Table 4 that in alloys of the same strength, the deformation resistance at 500 °C is reduced by more than 20%, and the extrusion efficiency can be increased by more than 30%.
