Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloys, in particular to a casting process of an Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy and a preparation method of an Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot. Background Art
[0002] In order to improve the comprehensive protection capabilities of materials in high-end fields such as aerospace, lightweight materials or weight reduction are generally used while ensuring that the protective performance remains unchanged, which can greatly improve their ability to move and transfer.
[0003] Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloys are a type of lightweight, high-strength material with Al as the matrix and Mg and Zn as the main alloying elements. They are widely used in aerospace, transportation, and industrial fields due to their excellent comprehensive performance. However, as the degree of alloying of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloys increases, their casting stress becomes larger. In order to prevent ingot cracking, technicians in this field generally use wipers during the casting process to reduce the casting stress and prevent cracking during the casting process. However, the use of wiper casting technology makes the production process complicated and costly, and also weakens secondary cooling, which is not conducive to microstructure refinement and worsens the shrinkage feeding performance, thereby affecting the microstructure uniformity of the ingot. Therefore, in order to achieve better ingot and product quality requirements, while achieving a short process and maximum economic benefits, it is necessary to develop a melting and casting process for Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloys that eliminates the wiper.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to further understand the present invention, preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of the present invention, rather than limiting the claims of the present invention.
[0026] In view of the problems in the prior art of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy ingot molding and microstructure uniformity control, as well as the complex process flow, the present application provides a casting process for Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy. By not laying a bottom or using a wiper during the casting process, using a cast iron base, and optimizing the casting process parameters, the formability and microstructure uniformity and density of the aluminum alloy ingot are ensured. Specifically, the present application first provides a casting process for Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy, including:
[0027] Casting the grain-refined Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy melt, wherein no bottom is laid, no wiper is used, and a cast iron base is used during the casting process;
[0028] The water flow rate of the casting is specifically: when the casting length is 0mm, the water flow rate is 60-100m 3 / h, when the casting length is 100mm, the water flow rate is 50~90m 3 / h, when the casting length is 800mm, the water flow rate is 60~100m 3 / h until casting is completed;
[0029] The casting speed is specifically as follows: when the casting length is 0 mm, the casting speed is 42 to 55 mm / min; when the casting length is 50 mm, the casting speed is 40 to 53 mm / min; when the casting length is 200 mm, the casting speed is 42 to 55 mm / min;
[0030] The crystallizer filling of the casting is specifically as follows: when the casting height is 0 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 70-100 mm / min, when the casting height is 15 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 60-90 mm / min, when the casting height is 30 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 50-80 mm / min, and when the casting height is 60 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 40-70 mm / min.
[0031] In the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy casting process provided in this application, a water wiper is not used, which ensures a dense and finely divided ingot structure, but increases the risk of cracking during casting. This application further optimizes the water flow rate, velocity, and mold filling rate during casting. The use of a cast iron base during the casting process reduces stress levels during the initial casting phase, facilitating warping and shaping of the ingot bottom.
[0032] During the casting process, the water flow rate of the casting is specifically: when the casting length is 0mm, the water flow rate is 60-100m 3 / h, when the casting length is 100mm, the water flow rate is 50~90m 3 / h, when the casting length is 800mm, the water flow rate is 60~100m 3 / h until the casting is completed; specifically, when the casting length is 0mm, the water flow rate is 80-95m 3 / h, when the casting length is 100mm, the water flow rate is 55~70m 3 / h, when the casting length is 800mm, the water flow rate is 80~95m 3 / h until the casting is completed; for the above water flow rate, the water flow rate for the casting length of 0mm is not just the water flow rate of 0mm, but the water flow rate for the casting length of 0mm to 100mm (not equal to 100mm) is 60~100m 3 / h. Similarly, when the casting length is from 100mm to 800mm (not equal to 800mm), the water flow rate is 50-90m 3 / h. Similarly, from the casting length of 800mm to the completion of casting, the water flow rate is 60-100m 3 / h.
[0033] The casting speed is specifically as follows: when the casting length is 0mm, the casting speed is 42-55mm / min, when the casting length is 50mm, the casting speed is 40-53mm / min, and when the casting length is 200mm, the casting speed is 42-55mm / min; for the above casting speeds, the casting speed of the casting length 0mm is not only the casting speed at the 0mm moment, but the casting speed is 42-55mm / min in the stage from 0mm to 50mm (not equal to 50mm) of the casting length. Similarly, the casting speed is 40-53mm / min in the stage from 50mm to 200mm (not equal to 200mm), and the casting speed is 42-55mm / min from the casting length of 200mm to the end of casting; specifically, when the casting length is 0mm, the casting speed is 47-54mm / min, when the casting length is 50mm, the casting speed is 41-46mm / min, and when the casting length is 200mm, the casting speed is 47-54mm / min.
[0034] The crystallizer filling rate of the casting is specifically: when the casting height is 0 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 70-100 mm / min, when the casting height is 15 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 60-90 mm / min, when the casting height is 30 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 50-80 mm / min, and when the casting height is 60 mm, the crystallizer filling rate is 40-70 mm / min. As for the mold filling rate, the mold filling rate when the casting height is 0 mm is only the mold filling rate at the moment of 0 mm, but in the stage where the casting height is 0 to 15 mm (not equal to 15 mm), the mold filling rate is 70-100 mm / min. Similarly, in the stage where the casting height is 15 to 30 mm (not equal to 30 mm), the mold filling rate is 60-90 mm / min. Similarly, in the stage where the casting height is 30 to 60 mm (not equal to 60 mm), the mold filling rate is 50-80 mm / min. Similarly, from the casting height of 60 mm to the end of casting, the mold filling rate is 40-70 mm / min. Specifically, when the casting height is 0 mm, the mold filling rate is 85-95 mm / min, when the casting height is 15 mm, the mold filling rate is 64-84 mm / min, when the casting height is 30 mm, the mold filling rate is 56-83 mm / min, and when the casting height is 60 mm, the mold filling rate is 40-55 mm / min.
[0035] Furthermore, the temperature of the aluminum liquid at the end of the casting flow plate is 690-715°C, and the cooling water temperature is 24-30°C. Specifically, the temperature of the aluminum liquid at the end of the casting flow plate is 695-700°C, and the cooling water temperature is 26-28°C.
[0036] The composition of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy of the present application, in percentage by mass, includes: Cu 0.20-0.60%, Mn 0.30-0.70%, Mg 2.8-3.5%, Cr 0.10-0.20%, Zn 7.0-8.0%, Ti 0.03-0.10%, Zr 0.05-0.15%, Be 5-20ppm, Si≤0.12%, Fe≤0.15%, and the balance is Al.
[0037] In Al-Zn-Mg alloys, Zn and Mg are the main strengthening elements, and the main strengthening phases are MgZn2(η) phase and Al2Mg3Zn3(T) phase. The strength of the alloy increases with the increase of Zn and Mg content. Although increasing the Zn and Mg content can increase the strength, the toughness of the alloy deteriorates and the brittleness increases, which is not conducive to the comprehensive protective performance of the product. Therefore, the present invention controls the Mg content to 2.8-3.5% and the Zn content to 7.0-8.0%. Specifically, the Mg content is 2.95-3.40%, more specifically, the Mg content is 3.00-3.25%, more specifically, the Mg content is 3.10-3.20%. Specifically, the Zn content is 7.10-7.80%, more specifically, the Zn content is 7.20-7.65%, more specifically, the Zn content is 7.24-7.50%, more specifically, the Zn content is 7.30-7.40%.
[0038] Ti refines the ingot grain size and, like Zr, increases the recrystallization temperature and reduces the tendency to crack during casting and welding. However, Ti also introduces B. TiB2 particles are impurities, introduced as non-spontaneous nucleation particles, and are insoluble in the melt. Therefore, excessive Ti addition will not increase the grain size reduction capability and may even form coarse compounds, affecting the product's plasticity. Specifically, the Ti content is 0.05-0.07%.
[0039] Si and Fe are impurity elements that need to be controlled. Specifically, Si ≤ 0.05% and Fe ≤ 0.12%. Be is added during the preparation process to improve melt quality and prevent ingot cracking. Specifically, the Be content is 9ppm to 10ppm.
[0040] The simultaneous addition of Mn, Cr, and Zr to Al-Zn-Mg alloys is far more effective than adding just one or two of them. Through alloying, these elements form intermetallic compounds of varying dispersion, altering the distribution of dislocations within the grains and near grain boundaries. Cr can evenly distribute the decomposition products of the solid solution of Zn and Mg in aluminum within the grains. However, Mn, Cr, and Zr compounds are insoluble additives, and increasing their content increases the tendency to crack during welding and negatively impacts the strength of the weld. Adding a small amount of Zr to Al-Zn-Mg alloys containing Mn can also significantly reduce the tendency to stress corrosion. Adding trace amounts of Cu has little effect on general corrosion resistance, but can significantly improve the alloy's stress corrosion resistance. The present invention controls Cu 0.20-0.6%, Mn 0.30-0.7%, Cr 0.10-0.20%, and Zr 0.05-0.15%. Specifically, the Cu content is 0.28-0.50%, more specifically, the Cu content is 0.35-0.45%, and more specifically, the Cu content is 0.39-0.42%. Specifically, the Mn content is 0.38-0.62%, more specifically, the Mn content is 0.42-0.58%, and more specifically, the Mn content is 0.45-0.50%. Specifically, the Cr content is 0.12-0.18%, more specifically, the Cr content is 0.13-0.17wt%, and more specifically, the Cr content is 0.14-0.16%. Specifically, the Zr content is 0.07 to 0.12%, and more specifically, the Zr content is 0.09 to 0.11%.
[0041] The high-strength Al-Mg-Zn alloy and the medium-strength Al-Mg-Zn alloy used in the present invention have increased Cu, Mn, Mg, and Zn contents, with the Zn content significantly increased. This results in higher strength at the same mass, with a tensile strength of up to 600 MPa, and superior protective effects compared to existing alloys of equal weight. The aluminum alloy involved in the present invention is the primary load-bearing structure in the material, exhibiting excellent thermal deformation properties, ease of forming, and ease of processing. Under appropriate heat treatment conditions, it can achieve high strength, excellent weldability, and corrosion resistance. It is a high-strength, weldable aluminum alloy widely used in the vehicle and equipment fields.
[0042] The casting process of the aluminum alloy provided in this application preferably matches the composition of the above-mentioned aluminum alloy, and can further improve the comprehensive performance of the aluminum alloy on the basis of ensuring that there is no cracking during the casting process and the structure is uniform and dense.
[0043] Furthermore, the present application also provides a method for preparing an Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot, comprising the following steps:
[0044] According to the composition ratio of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot, the raw materials after mixing are melted and the composition is adjusted;
[0045] The melt after composition adjustment is melt purified and then subjected to grain refinement;
[0046] Casting the melt after grain refinement to obtain an initial aluminum alloy square ingot, wherein the casting is the casting process described in the above scheme;
[0047] The initial aluminum alloy square ingot is subjected to a soaking treatment.
[0048] In the preparation method of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingots, the present application first prepares the ingredients according to the composition ratio of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingots, wherein the raw materials are preferably selected from aluminum ingots with a grade of Al99.70 or above, scrap, master alloys, additives, and pure metals. Specifically, the alloy raw materials include: aluminum ingots with a grade of Al99.70, magnesium ingots with a grade of Al99.9, zinc ingots with a grade of Al99.99, master alloys of AlCu, AlMn, AlCr, AlBe, AlZr, and AlTi produced from aluminum ingots with a grade of not less than Al99.70, and first-grade scrap ingredients. The prepared raw materials are melted and the composition is adjusted. The melting temperature is 720-770°C, specifically 730-760°C, and more specifically 741-750°C.
[0049] According to the present invention, the melt after the composition adjustment is subjected to melt purification. In this application, the melt purification includes refining, online degassing and melt filtration performed in sequence. The refining temperature is 720-750°C, the time is 30-50min, the refining atmosphere is high-purity argon, the online degassing atmosphere is high-purity argon, the hydrogen content of the melt after the online degassing is ≤0.15ml / 100g Al, and the melt is filtered using a ceramic filter plate with a ≥50ppi; more specifically, the refining temperature is 730-746°C, the time is 30-40min; the hydrogen content of the melt after the online degassing is 0.10-0.12ml / 100g Al, and the melt is filtered using a 30+50ppi foam filter plate.
[0050] This application then performs grain refinement on the melt, and the refiner is selected from Al-5Ti-1B wire. The TiB2 particles formed by the refiner are easy to aggregate, thereby becoming a source of cracks in the ingot or causing uneven structure. While meeting the grain size requirements of the ingot, the addition amount needs to be limited. At the same time, Al-5Ti-1B wire with less slag content and refiner aggregation is selected to reduce the source of cracks in the casting process. The addition amount of Al-5Ti-1B wire in this application is 0.8~1.2kg / t. Specifically, the addition amount of the Al-5Ti-1B wire is 0.9~1.0kg / t.
[0051] According to the present invention, the grain-refined melt is then cast, which has been described in detail above and will not be described in detail here.
[0052] Finally, the present application performs a soaking treatment on the ingot after casting, and the soaking treatment is used to eliminate the stress of the ingot, reduce the segregation of the ingot and obtain a fine and dispersed compound, while making the strengthening phase dissolve evenly; the heating rate of the soaking treatment is 40-60°C / h, the heating time is 8-12h, the temperature is raised to 480-500°C, the holding temperature is 460-475°C, and the holding time is 30-40h. Specifically, the heating rate of the soaking treatment is 50-58°C / h, the heating time is 9-10h, the holding temperature is 465-470°C, and the time is 32-36h.
[0053] The thickness of the ingot prepared in this application is 400-450 mm, and the limitation of the ingot thickness is to further ensure the quality of the product.
[0054] In the preparation method of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot provided by the present invention, the main elements of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot are 8, which is the aluminum alloy with the most added elements currently; the total content of alloying elements is about 11.5%, which is 4% more than the conventional 7 series alloy, and the strength is increased by about 25%. Aluminum alloys need to maintain high strength and impact resistance, and also have good welding, corrosion resistance and processing properties. However, for Al-Mg-Zn series high-strength aluminum alloys, as the alloy composition becomes more complex and there are more refractory elements, the melt fluidity deteriorates, and the difficulty of ingot molding and microstructure control increases exponentially. The existing aluminum alloy casting technology has complex procedures and it is difficult to ensure the quality requirements of high-quality ingots. The present invention provides a preparation method of Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingots. By adjusting the casting process and matching the ingot composition, specifications and other steps, the process flow is shortened, the metallurgical quality of the ingot can be improved, and the requirements of high-strength and tough plate products can be met.
[0055] In order to further understand the present invention, the casting process of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy and the preparation method of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloy square ingot provided by the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the following embodiments.
