Description

[0002] The aluminum matrix composite has characteristics such as high modulus and low thermal expansion coefficient, and has small size change under stress and heat, and is a key structure-function integrated material in fields such as space remote sensing and space exploration. With the rapid advancement of China's satellite networking and deep space strategic missions, the requirements for aluminum matrix composites with high size stability and high surface precision are increasingly demanding.
[0003] Residual stress is an important factor affecting the size stability and surface precision of materials. Due to the large difference in the thermal expansion coefficients of the reinforcing body and the matrix, the aluminum matrix composite produces not only macro residual stress after preparation and processing, but also significant micro residual stress.
[0004] At present, the methods for removing the residual stress of the aluminum matrix composite are mainly heat treatment stress relief. Different temperature holding and cooling are performed on different workpieces to remove the macro residual stress. Among them, annealing and deep cooling are the most typical two stress relief methods, but these two methods cannot completely eliminate the macro and micro residual stress, and therefore cannot completely meet the requirements of high size stability parts for aerospace use.

[0032] To further clarify the technical means and effects taken by the present application to achieve the intended purpose, the following describes the specific embodiments, structures, features and effects according to the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "an embodiment" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.
[0033] In the existing stress reduction method of particle reinforced composite materials, high and low temperature treatment is used, but this method only uses high and low temperature treatment, and in the case where different types of stress are not eliminated, new stress is introduced, leading to mutual influence of residual stress from multiple sources, and the stress state is difficult to reach a metastable low stress state suitable for space and time cold and hot alternating service environment. In the method of the present application, annealing, deep cooling and near-service environment cold and hot cycle treatment process are combined to reduce and control residual stress. The treatment method and parameters are easier to determine, and the adjusted stress state is more suitable for the stress requirements in the service environment. At the same time, it can adapt to different service environments, and can also achieve reasonable residual stress reduction for different sizes of parts. The specific scheme is as follows:
[0034] The present application provides a method for controlling residual stress in aluminum matrix composites, comprising the following steps:
[0035] Step 1): annealing the aluminum matrix composite blank at 350-480℃ to eliminate the macro residual stress of the aluminum matrix composite blank, and obtaining the annealed blank;
[0036] The aluminum matrix composite blank is a plate, rod or block obtained by simple machining, or a workpiece blank with a certain machining allowance after rough machining; the annealing time is selected between 1-48h according to the size of the blank, and the larger the size, the longer the annealing time; the cooling method after annealing is furnace cooling;
[0037] The reinforcing body in the aluminum matrix composite blank is SiC micron ceramic particles and / or B4C micron ceramic particles; the volume content of the reinforcing body is 10%-75%; the matrix in the aluminum matrix composite blank is one of 1-series aluminum alloy-7-series aluminum alloy.
[0038] Step 2): deep cooling the annealed blank at -252℃ to -150℃ to eliminate more than 50% of the micro residual stress in the annealed blank, and obtaining the deep cooled blank;
[0039] The deep cryogenic treatment is selected to be performed in an environment not higher than -150℃, and the lowest temperature can be selected to be -252℃ (liquid hydrogen temperature) to ensure the temperature difference of deep cryogenic treatment. The deep cryogenic treatment is performed 1-3 times, preferably 1 time. The maximum size of the aluminum-based composite material blank is L. When L≤100mm, the time t of deep cryogenic treatment is 30+5×lnL. When L>100mm, the time t of deep cryogenic treatment is 30+12×lnL. The deep cryogenic cooling rate needs to be greater than 10℃ / min. The deep cryogenic heating time is 1.5-3 times of the deep cryogenic holding time. The larger the size, the slower the heating. The above formula ensures that the core of the blank is cooled through.
[0040] Step 3): The blank after deep cryogenic treatment is subjected to cold-heat cycle treatment to obtain an aluminum-based composite material, and low-energy net dislocations are formed in the aluminum-based composite material, and the micro residual stress in the aluminum-based composite material is reduced to below 25MPa without introducing macro residual stress. The cold-heat cycle treatment adopts a simulated service environment temperature.
[0041] This step is specifically: the blank after deep cryogenic treatment is heated from room temperature to a first set temperature (service environment maximum temperature±5℃), then cooled to a second set temperature (service environment minimum temperature±5℃), then heated to room temperature, and cycled 1-6 times, preferably 3 times. The time of one cycle is 24h, and the heating rate and the cooling rate are the same.
[0042] The above cold-heat cycle treatment adopts an artificial device to simulate the cold-heat temperature change of the space service environment. The artificial device can manufacture a constant temperature change rate of the service environment without holding in between. The single temperature cycle time can be controlled in the range of 0.5-100h. The device is an equipment with the ability to simulate different service environment temperature changes. After setting the service environment temperature change, the internal temperature uniformity is good, and the deviation from the set temperature is within ±5℃. The internal volume can meet the placement of aluminum-based composite material blanks of various sizes.
[0043] It should be noted that, based on the above method, the macro residual stress in the material is first eliminated by annealing treatment, on the one hand, to avoid deformation or cracking due to stress concentration in subsequent treatment, and on the other hand, annealing can reduce the interface stress between the matrix and the reinforcing phase, providing a uniform micro foundation for subsequent cryogenic treatment; then the micro residual stress is reduced by cryogenic treatment, so that the stress is relieved, and macro stress will not be generated again in the subsequent cold and hot cycle treatment; finally, the cold and hot cycle heat treatment in the simulated service environment is carried out, the dislocation configuration of the aluminum matrix composite is adjusted, the low-energy network dislocation is generated, and the micro stress is reduced as much as possible, so that the cumulative deformation of the material due to repeated stress release in the service environment is avoided, the size accuracy and surface roughness of the precision instrument are affected, so that the metastable low stress suitable for space and time cold and hot alternating service environment is obtained, which is suitable for long-term cold and hot service working condition, and has wide application prospect in the field of aerospace.
[0044] wherein "the maximum dimension L" is the longest linear dimension of the geometric shape of the aluminum matrix composite blank.
[0045] The macro residual stress refers to the stress remaining in the material after the external load or thermal gradient is removed, which is uniformly distributed on multiple grains and balanced in the entire material body; the micro residual stress refers to the stress change between grains or different phases, which is usually caused by the difference in grain orientation, phase property or anisotropy, and is balanced on multiple grains. The network dislocation refers to the complex three-dimensional structure formed by the interaction, intersection and entanglement of dislocations, which usually shows as planar dislocation boundaries, which separate the material into multiple almost dislocation-free sub-grains or regions. The formation of network dislocation is beneficial to reduce the residual stress in the material.
[0046] The present application is further illustrated below in conjunction with specific examples and comparative examples.
[0047] Example 1

[0049] Step 1): annealing treatment of the aluminum matrix composite blank at 430℃ for 24h to eliminate the macro residual stress of the aluminum matrix composite blank, and obtain the blank after annealing treatment;
[0050] wherein the aluminum matrix composite blank is a cylindrical sample machined from the core of an initial 40vol.%SiC / 6061Al composite blank ingot ;
[0051] Step 2): Immerse the annealed blank in liquid nitrogen for cryogenic treatment. Specifically, hold at liquid nitrogen temperature (-196℃) for 45 minutes, then raise the temperature to room temperature over 90 minutes to obtain the cryogenically treated blank.
[0052] Step 3): The cryogenically treated blank is heated from room temperature to 127°C, then cooled to -183°C, and then heated back to room temperature. This cycle is repeated 4 times to obtain the aluminum-based composite material. The time of one cycle is 24 hours, and the heating rate and cooling rate are the same.

After annealing-cryogenic treatment, the microscopic residual stress of the aluminum phase decreased to about 40 MPa, and the microscopic residual stress of the silicon carbide phase decreased to about -90 MPa, but it was not completely eliminated. After near-service process thermal cycling treatment, the triaxial (where ND, RD, and TD represent the axial stress, radial stress, and tangential stress of the cylindrical sample, respectively) microscopic residual stress was basically eliminated, reaching about 0 MPa, and no macroscopic residual stress was introduced. Observing the microstructure of the sample (aluminum matrix composite) after near-service process thermal cycling treatment, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, network dislocations can be clearly observed.
[0054] The cylindrical sample of aluminum-based composite material obtained in this embodiment was further processed into... The rod-shaped samples were subjected to cold and hot service environment exposure tests according to the service environment exposure test standard of GB / T 2423.22-2012. The test results showed that the maximum dimensional deviation of the straightness of its axis was only 10 μm, indicating that the aluminum matrix composite material obtained by the method of this embodiment has excellent dimensional stability.

[0059] Step 2): deep cryogenic treatment of the annealed blank at -160℃ for 45 min, followed by a 90 min temperature rise to room temperature, and obtaining the deep cryogenic treated blank;

[0061] The cold-heat cycle treatment in the above step 3) is to simulate the service environment on the surface of Mars. According to the publicly disclosed measurement of the minimum temperature of Mars after landing, the maximum temperature of Mars atmosphere is 35℃, and the minimum temperature is -98℃.
[0062] The residual stress of the core of the aluminum matrix composite obtained in this embodiment is measured. After the near-service process cold-heat cycle treatment, the macro residual stress is also eliminated, the micro residual stress is basically eliminated, close to 0MPa, and no macro residual stress is introduced. The aluminum matrix composite sample obtained in this embodiment is further processed into a φ120x30mm 3 round pie-shaped sample, and one side surface is processed, polished and the like to obtain a surface roughness RZ<0.05μm.
