Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aluminum foil manufacturing, in particular to a preparation method of double-zero foil blank and double-zero foil blank. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the aluminum processing industry, double-zero aluminum foil is widely used in food packaging, medicine packaging, capacitors, tobacco packaging and other fields. Double-zero refers to a thickness usually less than 0.01mm, with extremely high thinness and excellent flexibility. Currently, in the industry, foil blank is usually prepared by hot rolling plus cold rolling, supplemented by a small amount of element (such as Fe, Si) ratio optimization to adjust the mechanical properties. However, this method has several technical bottlenecks. On the one hand, the traditional hot-rolled blank has a coarse primary crystal, and the work hardening rate is low, which is easy to produce fatigue cracks in multi-pass rolling; on the other hand, there is a lack of effective means to control the recrystallization behavior, resulting in unstable structure of the blank after medium annealing, affecting the strength and surface quality of the thin foil product, and limiting the comprehensive performance and line stability of the final foil.

[0003] The patent application file with publication number CN113305149A discloses a manufacturing method of double-zero aluminum foil blank one-time intermediate annealing, relating to the technical field of aluminum alloy foil processing. The chemical composition and mass percentage of aluminum alloy are as follows: Si 0.15-0.30%, Fe 0.70-0.90%, Cu≤0.05%, Mn≤0.03%, Mg≤0.03%, Cr≤0.02%, Zn≤0.10%, Ti 0.02-0.04%, and Al is the remainder. The finished product is made through the steps of melting, casting and rolling, cold rolling, intermediate annealing, edge cutting, secondary cold rolling, secondary edge cutting, foil rolling, slitting, and product annealing. Although the method shortens the production cycle of aluminum foil and improves production efficiency, the mechanical properties and surface quality of the aluminum foil blank prepared by the method are still insufficient.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a preparation method of double-zero foil blank and double-zero foil blank to solve the problems existing in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application provides a preparation method of double-zero foil blank and double-zero foil blank, which can achieve balanced plasticity and strength of double-zero foil blank, is not easy to break and improves the surface quality.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a preparation method of double-zero foil blank, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step S1, heat and melt the electrolytic aluminum ingot, add Al-50Fe and Al-10Mg, cool down, then add Al-2Y and Al-2Sc, after stirring uniformly, add the core-shell structure alloy particles and continue to stir, finally add Al-5Ti-1B refiner, ultrasonic treatment, Ar is introduced, filtration, to obtain the aluminum liquid;

[0008] Step S2, the aluminum liquid is injected into a double-roller casting and rolling device for continuous casting and rolling, and the rough billet is obtained after cooling; the rough billet is subjected to soaking treatment, then is subjected to segmented rolling, plasma annealing, and cooling to obtain the intermediate billet.

[0009] Step S3, the intermediate billet is subjected to cold rolling in 0°, 45° and 90° directions respectively, then is subjected to annealing and cooling to obtain the double-zero foil billet.

[0010] After the aluminum ingot is completely melted, the aluminum-iron alloy and the aluminum-magnesium alloy are added, so that Fe and Mg are dispersed in the aluminum melt, the Mg atoms are in solid solution in α-Al and produce solute drag effect on dislocations and grain boundaries, thereby improving the deformation resistance and promoting the improvement of rolling plasticity; Fe can form fine and dense dispersions, which can pin the mother phase grain boundaries through pinning effect during solidification and deformation, thereby inhibiting the growth of coarse grains and reducing pinholes. Al-2Y and Al-2Sc are added, Y has strong oxygen affinity and can react with impurities in the melt to form high-melting-point compounds, which, in cooperation with ultrasonic degassing and ceramic filtration, help to deeply purify the melt, thereby reducing inclusions and improving the cleanliness of the aluminum melt; Al3Y and Al3Sc can also be generated, Al3Y has low coarsening rate and strong thermal stability, can continuously play the pinning effect and refine the grains; Al3Sc can provide pinning effect and nucleation promotion, while inhibiting recrystallization and coarsening, and also helps to improve the strength and thermal stability of the billet and make the billet maintain good plasticity.

[0011] Al-5Ti-1B refiner is used for refining in cooperation with ultrasonic treatment. The TiB2 particles in Al-5Ti-1B are insoluble heterogeneous nucleation substrates, which, after entering the melt, preferentially dissolve Al3Ti to provide Ti to the surface of TiB2, thereby improving the crystallographic matching and wettability with α-Al; ultrasonic treatment makes the cavitation bubbles in the liquid metal gather and collapse, generates micro-jets and high-temperature and high-pressure micro-zones, which can further scatter the oxide film and inclusions, promote the local rapid mixing of supersaturated alloy elements, significantly improve the density of primary crystal nuclei, and form fine equiaxed crystals to reduce the holes and surface defects of the billet.

[0012] The plasma annealing method is used, the plasma contains a large number of high-energy electrons, ions and active free radicals, which activate the surface atoms of the billet by bombarding the high-density point defects and dislocations on the surface of the billet, thereby improving the surface quality of the billet; at the same time, the trace oxide layer and organic contaminants on the surface of the billet can also be removed to obtain an ultra-clean surface and improve the subsequent billet forming.

[0013] Multi-directional rolling (0°, 45°, 90°) applies deformation in different directions, forces the grains to experience the start and rotation of different slip systems, disrupts the strong texture formed in a single direction, makes the grain orientation more randomly distributed in space, can significantly weaken the texture strength, reduce the anisotropy of mechanical properties, improve the deep drawing performance and transverse plasticity of the blank, and greatly reduce the risk of cracking and strip breaking caused by anisotropy during subsequent rolling of double zero foil.

[0014] Preferably, in the step S1, the temperature of heating and melting is 740-760℃; and the stirring uniformity time is 5-10min.

[0015] Preferably, in the step S1, the Ar flow rate is 6-10L / min.

[0016] Preferably, the molten aluminum includes the following raw materials in parts by weight:

[0017] 100 parts of electrolytic aluminum ingot, 1.4-1.8 parts of Al-50Fe, 3-5 parts of Al-10Mg, 1-1.5 parts of Al-2Y, 0.5-0.75 parts of Al-2Sc, 0.2-0.4 parts of core-shell structure alloy particles, and 0.32-0.43 parts of Al-5Ti-1B.

[0018] Preferably, the preparation of the core-shell structure alloy particles includes the following steps:

[0019] Under Ar atmosphere, the electrolytic aluminum is heated to complete melting, Al-2Sc and Al-10Hf are sequentially added and stirred, then the melt is poured on a water-cooled copper plate to obtain a rapidly cooled sheet, the sheet is then heated and contacted with Al-5Er to diffuse and form a shell layer, and after cooling, it is cut into 0.5-0.8mm particles and dried to obtain the core-shell structure alloy particles.

[0020] By preparing the core-shell structure alloy particles, Al-2Sc and Al-10Hf as the core structure can preferentially produce L12 type dispersoids Al3(Sc,Hf), which is highly coherent with the matrix α-Al lattice and has a strong effect of pinning dislocations and grain boundaries, and Al-5Er can form a rich Er shell layer Al3Er by epitaxial deposition at the interface between the dispersoids and the matrix, thereby constructing a diffusion barrier outside the core and further inhibiting grain coarsening, thereby reducing the surface Ra and pinhole density and improving the surface quality of the blank.

[0021] Directly adding Al-2Sc, Al-10Hf and Al-5Er can cause them to nucleate simultaneously during casting and soaking, and when the nucleation density is too high for a short time, it can cause uneven distribution and increase defects; and the nucleation and growth speed is relatively fast, which can also easily cause coarsening, reduce the pinning effect, and further reduce the surface quality of the blank and cause strip breaking.

[0022] Preferably, in the step S2, the rough blank is subjected to the heat soaking treatment while a pulse magnetic field is applied, the pulse frequency is 8-12 Hz, and the magnetic field intensity is 0.8-1.2 T.

[0023] The magnetic field can induce micro-current and electromagnetic stirring in the metal liquid, can enhance the diffusion coefficient of Sc, Y, Hf and Er and other elements, can promote the uniform distribution of the elements, can form a perturbation to the solute / vacancy migration and dislocation movement, and can help the fine and uniform recrystallization nucleation; and in the process of dispersoid precipitation, the nucleation density can be improved and the coarsening can be inhibited, and in combination with the heat soaking treatment, finer and more uniform grains and higher dispersoid number density can be achieved, so that the ear height and the pinhole rate are reduced.

[0024] Preferably, in the step S2, the step-by-step rolling comprises the following steps:

[0025] In the first step, asynchronous warm rolling is adopted, the upper roller temperature is 200℃, the lower roller temperature is 100℃, and the rough blank is rolled to 3.6mm; in the second step, cold rolling is adopted, and the blank is rolled to 0.8mm in 0°, 45° and 90° directions.

[0026] The upper roller temperature is significantly higher than the lower roller temperature, so that the deformation resistance of the upper and lower layers of the blank is different (the high-temperature side is soft, and the low-temperature side is hard) and the deformation rate is different. This introduces strong additional shear strain between the upper and lower surfaces, promotes the cross-slip and uniform proliferation of dislocations, refines the grain / subgrain structure; improves the deformation uniformity in the thickness direction of the plate, reduces the residual stress; and helps to improve the uniformity of the strength and plasticity of the blank, and lays a better organizational foundation for subsequent cold rolling.

[0027] Preferably, in the step S2, the pressure of the plasma treatment in the plasma annealing is 50 Pa, the power is 350 W, the temperature is 350-450℃, and the time is 3-5 min.

[0028] Preferably, in the step S3, after the cold rolling is completed, the thickness of the blank is 0.22-0.35mm; the annealing temperature is 280-320℃, and the time is 1-1.5h.

[0029] The final annealing mainly performs a recovery process, a large number of dislocations on the surface of the blank form low-energy subgrain structures through rearrangement or annihilation, which can effectively eliminate internal stress and restore the plasticity of the blank, so as to facilitate the subsequent rolling of the double-zero foil; at the same time, the grain coarsening and strength loss can be avoided to the greatest extent, and the effects of fine-grain strengthening and dispersion strengthening can be maintained.

[0030] In order to achieve the above purpose, the application also provides a double-zero foil blank prepared by the preparation method of the double-zero foil blank.

[0031] The double-zero foil blank prepared by the preparation method can realize balanced plasticity and strength of the double-zero foil blank, is not prone to breakage, and improves surface quality.

[0032] The above technical solutions of the present application at least include the following beneficial effects:

[0033] 1. By adding Al-2Y and Al-2Sc into the aluminum liquid, Al3Y and Al3Sc can be generated to play a pinning effect, inhibit abnormal recrystallization, refine grains, improve the strength and plasticity of the blank, and significantly improve the thermal stability of the blank.

[0034] 2. Al-5Ti-1B refiner is used in combination with ultrasonic treatment for refinement. The Al-5Ti-1B refiner can improve the crystallographic matching and wettability with alpha-Al after melting; ultrasonic treatment promotes the generation of micro-jet and high-temperature and high-pressure micro area, thereby dispersing the oxide film and inclusions, promoting the local rapid mixing of supersaturated alloy elements, significantly increasing the primary crystal nucleus density, forming fine equiaxed crystals, and reducing the blank hole and surface defects.

[0035] 3. The multi-directional rolling method is used to apply deformation in different directions, disrupt the strong texture formed by the grains in a single direction, make the grain orientation more randomly distributed in space, significantly weaken the texture strength, reduce the anisotropy of mechanical properties, and greatly reduce the risk of cracking and strip breaking during subsequent rolling of the double-zero foil due to anisotropy.

[0080] Comparative Example 1

[0082] Comparative Example 2

[0083] Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 differ in that core-shell structure alloy particles are not used in Comparative Example 2, but Al is used instead, other compositions and preparation methods are the same as those in Example 1, and the double zero foil blank is prepared.

[0084] Comparative Example 3

[0086] Performance detection test

[0087] According to GB / T 228.1-2021 “Metallic materials-Tensile testing-Part 1: Method of test at room temperature”, the tensile strength and elongation of the double-zero foil blanks prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested. The samples with a width of 15 mm and a gauge length of 50 mm were taken, and the tensile strength of the samples was tested at a strain rate of 2 mm / min. Then, samples were taken at 0° and 90° along the rolling direction for elongation testing.

[0088] According to GB / T 2523-2019 “Measurement method of surface roughness of cold-rolled metal sheet (strip)”, the surface roughness of the double-zero foil blanks prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested. The sample length was 0.8 mm, and the arithmetic mean value was taken by measuring 5 random points on the surface of the sample.

[0089] According to GB / T 3198-2020 “Aluminum and aluminum alloy foil”, the number of pinholes of the double-zero foil blanks prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested by light transmission method.

[0090] The above test results are shown in Table 1.

[0091] Table 1

[0092]

[0093] As can be seen from the results in Table 1, the tensile strength and elongation of the blank prepared in Comparative Example 1 decreased significantly compared with Example 1, indicating that Al-2Y and Al-2Sc can generate Al3Y and Al3Sc, play a pinning effect and refine the grains, and improve the strength and plasticity of the blank. The number of pinholes in Comparative Example 2 increased significantly compared with Example 1, indicating that the core-shell structure alloy particles help to inhibit grain coarsening, thereby reducing pinholes and improving the surface quality of the blank. The elongation of the sample at 90° in the rolling direction of the blank prepared in Comparative Example 3 decreased significantly compared with the blank prepared in Example 1, indicating that multi-directional rolling helps to weaken the texture strength, reduce the anisotropy of mechanical properties, and improve the plasticity of the blank.

[0094] The difference between Example 7 and Example 6 is that the blank prepared in Example 7 was not subjected to a magnetic field during the soaking treatment. Compared with Example 6, the performance test results of the blank prepared in Example 7 all decreased to some extent, indicating that the magnetic field can enhance the diffusion coefficient of Sc, Y, Hf and Er elements, promote the uniform distribution of elements, obtain finer and more uniform grains and higher dispersion body number density, and thus reduce pinholes.

[0095] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make several improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present application.
