Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy and its preparation, and relates to a high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity aluminum alloy material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the large-scale commercialization of 5G mobile communication technology and the rapid development of 6G mobile communication technology, mobile communication base stations are developing towards ultra-high density, ultra-high speed and ultra-large capacity. This significantly increases the power consumption of base stations, especially the core chips and power amplifiers of base stations, which generate a large amount of heat during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated in time and efficiently, it will lead to high chip junction temperature, performance degradation, signal distortion, and even equipment failure, which seriously restricts the stability, reliability and service life of the communication system. To solve this problem, the direct liquid cooling technology using liquid cooling plates for forced convection heat dissipation has become the mainstream solution for 5G / 6G base station cooling due to its high efficiency, silence and precise temperature control. The core of the liquid cooling plate is an aluminum alloy component with complex flow channels and thin walls.
[0003] Currently, such complex thin-walled liquid cooling plate components are mainly manufactured by processes such as die casting or extrusion molding. In order to balance good casting fluidity and formability, cast aluminum alloys or extruded aluminum alloys are commonly selected in the industry. However, there are still the following problems in actual large-scale production and application: (1) The inherent performance contradiction of the material makes it difficult to balance heat dissipation and strength: although the existing cast aluminum alloy has excellent casting performance, its thermal conductivity coefficient is generally low, which cannot meet the instantaneous heat dissipation demand of future higher power chips; while high-strength extruded aluminum alloy has excellent mechanical properties, but its casting fluidity is poor and cannot be used for die casting of complex thin-walled structures; this inherent contradiction between material strength and thermal conductivity performance makes the existing liquid cooling plate material have a "seesaw" effect in mechanical properties and heat dissipation performance, which cannot meet the dual harsh requirements of structural bearing and efficient heat dissipation of base station components; (2) The existing material process has poor adaptability, resulting in large forming defects of the component: when die casting a complex thin-walled structure, the traditional aluminum alloy melt has insufficient fluidity and a wide solidification interval, which easily leads to incomplete filling, uneven wall thickness, large size deviation and poor surface quality, directly affecting the uniformity of component heat dissipation, chip assembly precision and service life, etc. (3) The comprehensive performance of the component is difficult to meet the high demand: due to the serious casting defects in the component, the actual mechanical properties (such as yield strength and elongation) of the component are significantly reduced, which makes it have the risk of failure in harsh environments such as vibration and impact; at the same time, these defects act as phonon scattering centers, which seriously hinder the conduction of heat, resulting in that the actual measured thermal conductivity of the component is much lower than the theoretical value of the material, which cannot meet the fundamental demand of high-reliability and efficient heat dissipation for high-power base stations.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a new type of aluminum alloy material and its supporting preparation method. SUMMARY

[0016] The present application at least achieves the following beneficial effects: 1.

[0017] 2. The rare earth elements of the present application can significantly refine the as-cast structure of aluminum alloy, reduce the interdendritic arm spacing of α-Al, and make the shape of eutectic silicon and other phases more rounded and uniform. Moreover, the rare earth elements can effectively inhibit grain growth, making the grain structure of the aluminum alloy more fine and uniform. Smaller grains result in more grain boundaries, which can effectively hinder dislocation movement, thereby improving the strength of the aluminum alloy. Secondly, rare earth elements can react with hydrogen and oxygen to purify the melt and reduce pinhole defects in the casting. Rare earth elements can also interact with impurity elements such as iron (Fe) to change the morphology and distribution of harmful phases such as iron-rich phases, reducing their hindrance to the transport of free electrons and phonons. Fine-grained grains also help the transport of electrons and phonons, thereby improving the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. In addition, trace amounts of rare earth atoms may dissolve into the aluminum matrix, producing solid solution strengthening, or form rare earth-containing dispersed precipitates, producing precipitation strengthening, thereby improving the strength of the aluminum alloy.
[0018] 3. The multi-stage homogenization process of this invention, through precisely controlled heating, holding, and cooling steps, completely eliminates dendritic segregation and micro-compositional inhomogeneity in the ingot, providing a billet with uniform structure and low internal stress for subsequent hot working, thus improving the material's structural uniformity and thermal stability. Gradient heating avoids the problem of uneven deformation caused by excessive differences in flow stress between the surface and the core during extrusion, while isothermal extrusion suppresses defects such as surface cracks and pitting caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring the stability of component dimensions. Therefore, gradient heating and isothermal extrusion ensure the forming accuracy and surface quality of complex thin-walled components. Through controllable offline solution quenching, it is ensured that the soluble strengthening phases (such as Mg2Si) formed in the ingot during homogenization and extrusion processes can be fully and thoroughly dissolved into the aluminum matrix to form a supersaturated solid solution, optimizing the stress and dimensional accuracy of the aluminum alloy material, and preparing it for subsequent multi-stage over-aging treatment to obtain high-strength, high-thermal-conductivity aluminum alloys.

[0038] Comparative Example 6 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 5 is that, in the preparation process, after the end of the second stage of heat preservation in step (3), the controlled cooling is directly performed at a rate of 40℃ / min to 230℃ without the operation of "first cooling to 430℃ at a rate of 90℃ / h", and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0039] Comparative Example 7 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 5 is that, in the preparation process, a single-stage homogenization treatment is adopted in step (3): the cast bar is heated to 550℃ at a rate of 20℃ / min, and then slowly cooled to 200℃ at a cooling rate of 100℃ / h, and then air-cooled to room temperature, and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0040] Comparative Example 8 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 5 is that, in the preparation process, gradient heating is not adopted in step (4), but is directly heated to 500℃ and kept for 5h, and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0041] Comparative Example 9 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 5 is that, in the preparation process, offline solution quenching is not adopted in step (5), but online quenching is adopted, specifically: the solution temperature is 550℃, the holding time is 250min, and then immediately cooled by cooling water, and the cooling rate is not less than 50℃ / s, and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0042] Comparative Example 10 The difference between the present comparative example and Example 5 is that, in the preparation process, a single-stage aging treatment is adopted in step (6), specifically: the straightened profile is aged at 220℃ for 6h, and other conditions remain unchanged.

[0044] The aluminum alloy materials prepared by the methods of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-11 are subjected to performance testing, and the tensile strength (MPa), yield strength (MPa), elongation (%) and thermal conductivity coefficient (W / m·K) of the aluminum alloy materials prepared by each method are tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0045] Table 1 From the experimental data of Table 1, compared with Example 5, from the experimental results of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the mixed rare earth addition form and the mass ratio of Ce to La in the mixed rare earth have an influence on the performance of the aluminum alloy material. From Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the Ce / La ratio is unbalanced, the rare earth modification effect is slightly poor, resulting in a slight decrease in the plasticity and thermal conductivity of the product; the direct addition of rare earth in Comparative Example 3 leads to serious burning loss, uneven composition, and significant deterioration of strengthening effect and microstructure uniformity; the ratio and addition form of the present application are more conducive to improving the strength, thermal conductivity and other comprehensive performance of the aluminum alloy material.
[0046] From the experimental data of Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that the addition of Ti and B in the form of Al-5Ti-1B intermediate alloy is conducive to improving the strength, thermal conductivity and other comprehensive performance of the aluminum alloy material. Direct addition of Ti and B cannot effectively dissolve and disperse, resulting in a small number of effective heterogeneous nucleation cores in the melt, uneven aggregation and dispersion of the refiner, and inability to refine the grains, resulting in coarse grains and segregation in the cast ingot, leading to a decrease in the strength, plasticity and toughness (i.e. elongation) of the product. The addition of Ti, B and Al-5Ti-1B intermediate alloy according to the component ratio of the present application is conducive to realizing ultra-fine grain and uniform microstructure, thereby improving the strength and plasticity of the product.
[0047] Comparative Example 6 and Comparative Example 7 show that single-stage homogenization results in insufficient microstructure uniformity, leading to a decrease in the performance of the aluminum alloy. Multi-stage treatment and precise controlled cooling are conducive to obtaining ideal microstructure. Comparative Example 8 shows that non-gradient heating leads to a large temperature difference between the center and the surface of the cast rod, uneven extrusion flow stress, and poor uniformity of the product microstructure and performance. It can be seen that the gradient heating of the present application ensures uniform heat penetration of the extrusion billet, thereby realizing stable forming and high dimensional accuracy.
[0048] Comparative Example 9 (online quenching) shows that online quenching cools too quickly, resulting in high residual stress, slightly higher strength, but damaged plasticity, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability, leading to a decrease in the elongation and thermal conductivity of the product. It can be seen that the high residual stress state of online quenching cannot meet the requirements of liquid cooling plate for heat dissipation efficiency and dimensional stability.
[0049] Comparative Example 10 (single-stage aging) and Comparative Example 11 (three-stage aging but aging time exceeding 6h) show that the aging method affects the strength, thermal conductivity, plasticity and other properties of the product. Single-stage aging or aging time exceeding 6h cannot precisely control the precipitation phase, resulting in a decrease in the strength and thermal conductivity of the product.
[0050] The formula and preparation method can obtain high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity aluminum alloy, multi-stage homogenization treatment completely eliminates dendritic segregation and micro-component unevenness of the ingot through precisely controlled heating, holding and cooling processes, provides a uniform structure and low internal stress blank for subsequent hot working, and improves the uniformity and thermal stability of the material; gradient heating avoids the problem of uneven deformation caused by too large flow stress difference between the surface and the core during extrusion, and isothermal extrusion suppresses surface cracks, pitting and other defects caused by temperature fluctuations, ensuring the stability of the component size, so gradient heating and isothermal extrusion ensure the forming precision and surface quality of the complex thin-walled component; through controllable offline solid solution quenching, it is ensured that the soluble strengthening phase (such as Mg2Si) formed in the ingot during homogenization treatment and extrusion can be fully and completely dissolved into the aluminum matrix to form a supersaturated solid solution, and the stress and size precision of the aluminum alloy material are optimized, and the high-strength and high-thermal-conductivity aluminum alloy is prepared for subsequent multi-stage overaging treatment.
