Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of recycled aluminum alloy processing, and in particular to a method for avoiding oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots. Background Technology
[0002] Driven by global "dual carbon" goals and resource recycling strategies, the recycled aluminum alloy industry has become one of the core directions for the development of the aluminum industry. Recycled aluminum alloys use waste aluminum products (such as scrapped automotive aluminum, waste building profiles, and decommissioned aerospace components) as raw materials. Compared to virgin aluminum alloys, they can save more than 95% of energy consumption and reduce carbon emissions by more than 90%, making them a typical green and low-carbon material.
[0003] However, the problem of oxide scale inclusions in its production has always constrained the quality of ingots. The surface of recycled aluminum raw materials is prone to forming multiple layers of oxide scale with large differences in composition. Existing pretreatment can only remove large impurities or cause element loss and environmental pollution due to acid washing. Melting is mostly done in an open mode with uneven gas distribution. Purification technology is difficult to balance efficiency and effectiveness. The casting parameter control precision is insufficient, resulting in high oxide scale inclusions and low pass rate in ingots, which cannot meet the needs of high-end fields.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method to avoid oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method to avoid oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots. This method addresses the problems of high oxide scale inclusions and low pass rates in ingots due to the easy formation of multiple oxide scales on the surface of recycled aluminum raw materials, the fact that existing pretreatment can only remove large impurities or cause element loss and environmental pollution due to acid washing, the fact that smelting is mostly done in an open manner with uneven gas distribution, the difficulty in balancing efficiency and effectiveness in purification technology, and the insufficient precision in controlling casting parameters. These issues fail to meet the needs of high-end fields.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for avoiding oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Raw material pretreatment: The recycled aluminum raw material is crushed by a jaw crusher to control the particle size after crushing to 20-40mm. Metal and non-metal impurities with a diameter greater than 5mm are removed by a screening machine. Then the crushed raw material is placed in a hot air baking oven and baked at 380-420℃ for 1.5-2.5h in an atmosphere with an oxygen content of no more than 3%. The material is turned over every 40 minutes during the baking process. Step 2, Atmosphere melting: The pretreated raw materials are put into the graphite crucible melting furnace, and after the vacuum is drawn to a pressure not exceeding 40Pa, argon gas is introduced to maintain the pressure inside the melting furnace at 0.08-0.12MPa. Then the temperature is raised to 800-840℃ for melting to form a melt. During the melting process, the argon gas flow rate is controlled at 10-15L / min, and the slag is skimmed off every 25 minutes. The slag skimming temperature is controlled at 810-830℃. Step 3, Two-stage purification: After the melt is completely melted, it is first purified using a rotary jetting device. The jetting head is inserted into the melt to a depth of 250-350mm, the nitrogen pressure is 0.4-0.6MPa, the device speed is controlled at 180-220r / min, and the purification time is 18-22min. Then the melt is filtered through a ceramic filter plate with a pore size of 20-40μm, a filtration area of 0.6-0.9m², and a melt flow rate of 0.3-0.5m / s. Step 4, Precision Casting: After purification, the melt is transferred to a vertical semi-continuous casting machine. Before casting, the melt is treated by an online degassing device. The vacuum degree of the degassing device is controlled at 25-35 Pa, and the degassing time is 6-9 min. After degassing, casting is carried out. The casting temperature is controlled at 700-730℃, and the casting speed is 0.6-1.0 m / min. The cooling water temperature of the crystallizer of the vertical semi-continuous casting machine is controlled at 28-32℃, and the cooling water flow rate is controlled at 1.8-2.2 m / s. The ingot is demolded after cooling to below 300℃.
[0007] Preferably, in the raw material pretreatment step, the crushing gap of the jaw crusher is adjusted to 15-25mm, and compressed air of 0.25-0.35MPa is introduced for dust removal during crushing.
[0008] Preferably, the wall thickness of the graphite crucible in the atmosphere melting step is 20-30 mm, and the heating rate of the melting furnace is controlled at 15-20℃ / min.
[0009] Preferably, in the dual-stage purification step, the nozzle of the rotary jetting device has a porous structure with a pore diameter of 1.5-2.5 mm, and the nozzle material is a high-temperature resistant alloy.
[0010] Preferably, the ceramic filter plate in the dual-stage purification step has a composite structure, consisting of an upper layer, a middle layer, and a lower layer. The upper layer has a pore size of 40μm, the middle layer has a pore size of 30μm, and the lower layer has a pore size of 20μm. The filter plate is preheated at 400-450℃ for 30-40 minutes before use.
[0011] According to claim 5, a method for avoiding oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots is characterized in that: the online degassing device in the precision casting step adopts a rotor-type degassing machine with a rotor speed of 400-500 r / min, and the melt temperature fluctuation during the degassing process is controlled within ±5℃.
[0012] Preferably, in the precision casting step, the casting machine's pouring port is provided with a guide groove, and the inner wall of the guide groove is coated with a boron nitride coating with a coating thickness of 5-8 μm.
[0013] Preferably, the raw material pretreatment step, atmosphere melting step, two-stage purification step, and precision casting step all adopt a PLC control system to monitor process parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and rotation speed in real time. When the parameter deviation exceeds ±3%, an alarm is automatically triggered and adjustments are made.
[0014] Preferably, in the raw material pretreatment step, the aluminum content of the recycled aluminum raw material is not less than 95%, the metallic impurities include iron and copper, and the non-metallic impurities include plastics and rubber.
[0015] Preferably, the purity of the argon gas introduced in the atmosphere melting step is not less than 99.995%, and the purity of the nitrogen gas introduced in the two-stage purification step is not less than 99.99%.
[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. Through a collaborative process of “raw material classification and pretreatment - inert gas atmosphere melting - dual-stage melt purification - precision casting control”, the entire process of oxide scale control is achieved from source suppression and process removal to terminal interception. This effectively reduces the amount of oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots, meets the stringent requirements for ingot purity in high-end fields such as automotive lightweighting and electronic device housings, and reduces processing defects caused by oxide scale inclusions.
[0017] 2. By precisely controlling the process parameters at each stage, optimizing the crushing, sorting and baking conditions of raw material pretreatment, improving the melting atmosphere and temperature control, enhancing the adsorption and filtration effects of the two-stage purification, and precisely controlling the casting temperature, speed and cooling system, the ingot qualification rate and mechanical properties are improved simultaneously, and the internal structure uniformity of the ingot is optimized, so that the ingot can be directly adapted to subsequent precision processing procedures such as extrusion and forging, reducing scrap loss.
[0018] 3. By replacing the traditional pickling process with hot air baking in the raw material pretreatment stage, the loss of alloying elements is avoided and the utilization rate of recycled aluminum raw materials is improved; in the smelting stage, inert gas protection is used instead of a large amount of flux, reducing flux consumption and waste slag generation, while reducing flux cost and waste slag treatment cost, thus comprehensively reducing the production cost of recycled aluminum alloy ingots.
[0019] 4. By using a raw material pretreatment process without acid washing, acidic wastewater is avoided, reducing wastewater treatment costs and environmental risks; no corrosive gases are released during the smelting stage, meeting workshop air quality standards; the entire process adopts a PLC automatic control system to reduce manual intervention, reduce the frequency of operators' contact with high-temperature and high-pressure equipment, reduce the risk of safety accidents, and has the advantages of both green environmental protection and safe production.
[0020] 5. Through flexible and adjustable process parameter design, key parameters such as pretreatment temperature and smelting gas flow rate can be adjusted according to the type of recycled aluminum raw material (such as automotive aluminum, architectural aluminum, and aluminum for electronic equipment) to ensure the control effect of oxide scale for different raw materials. At the same time, the process is compatible with existing large-scale production equipment, requiring only minor modifications to be put into use. The modification cycle is short and the investment is low, making it easy for enterprises to quickly promote and apply. It has good process adaptability and large-scale compatibility. Through the PLC control system, the key process parameters of the entire process are monitored and automatically adjusted in real time, and parameter deviations are corrected in a timely manner, which greatly improves the stability of the process, avoids parameter fluctuations caused by manual operation, ensures the consistency of ingot quality in long-term continuous production, and guarantees the stability and reliability of product quality. Attached Figure Description
[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the steps of the method for avoiding oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0022] This invention provides, for example Figure 1 The method shown includes the following steps to avoid oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots: S1. Raw material pretreatment: The recycled aluminum raw material is crushed by a jaw crusher to control the particle size after crushing to 20-40mm. Metal and non-metal impurities with a diameter greater than 5mm are removed by a screening machine. Then the crushed raw material is placed in a hot air baking oven and baked at 380-420℃ for 1.5-2.5h in an atmosphere with an oxygen content of no more than 3%. The material is turned over every 40 minutes during the baking process. Specifically, to address the issues of uneven oxide scale distribution and high impurity content in recycled aluminum raw materials, a "crushing-sorting-baking" grading process is adopted. First, a jaw crusher (crushing gap 15-25mm) is used to crush the recycled aluminum raw materials (containing Al ≥ 95%) to 20-40mm. This particle size ensures uniform heating during subsequent smelting and reduces excessive oxidation of the raw materials during crushing (when the particle size is < 20mm, the specific surface area increases, and the oxidation rate increases by 20%–30%). Compressed air at 0.25-0.35MPa is introduced during crushing, and dust removal is achieved through a cyclone separator (efficiency ≥ 95%), preventing dust from adsorbing onto the raw material surface and introducing impurities. Second, a combination of manual and mechanical sorting is used to remove metallic impurities such as Fe and Cu with a diameter > 5mm (to prevent the formation of intermetallic compound inclusions during smelting) and non-metallic impurities such as plastics and rubber (to prevent the generation of gases from high-temperature decomposition, which would exacerbate melt oxidation).
[0023] Finally, the sorted raw materials are placed in a sealed hot air baking oven, with the oxygen content inside the oven controlled to be ≤3% (adjusted by introducing a small amount of nitrogen), and baked at 380-420℃ for 1.5-2.5 hours. This temperature can remove the surface moisture (water content reduced to below 0.1%) and oil stains (oil stain removal rate ≥98%) from the raw materials, and can also cause the loose oxide scale (thickness >5μm) on the surface to fall off due to heat. At the same time, it avoids the oxidation of the alloy elements inside the raw materials due to excessive temperature (such as controlling the oxidation rate of Mg element to within 1%). The raw materials are turned over every 40 minutes during the baking process to ensure that the raw materials are heated evenly and to prevent local overheating.
[0024] S2. Atmosphere melting: The pretreated raw materials are put into the graphite crucible melting furnace, and after the vacuum is drawn to a pressure not exceeding 40Pa, argon gas is introduced to maintain the pressure inside the melting furnace at 0.08-0.12MPa. Then the temperature is raised to 800-840℃ for melting to form a melt. During the melting process, the argon gas flow rate is controlled at 10-15L / min, and the slag is skimmed off every 25 minutes. The slag skimming temperature is controlled at 810-830℃. Specifically, to reduce melt oxidation during the smelting process, a "vacuum-argon protective" atmosphere is used for smelting. A graphite crucible with a wall thickness of 20-30mm is selected (high temperature resistance, good chemical stability, and to prevent reaction with the melt). After the pretreated raw materials are added to the crucible, a vacuum is first drawn to ≤40Pa to remove air from the furnace (oxygen content reduced to below 0.1%). Then, argon gas with a purity ≥99.995% is introduced to maintain the furnace pressure at 0.08-0.12MPa, forming an inert protective zone. The heating rate of the smelting furnace is controlled at 15-20℃ / min to avoid local overheating (when the local temperature is >860℃, the melt oxidation rate increases significantly). Finally, the temperature is raised to 800-840℃—this temperature range ensures complete melting of the raw materials (melting rate >2kg / min) while inhibiting the selective oxidation of alloying elements (such as Si and Mg) (Mg oxidation rate ≤0.5%). During the smelting process, argon gas is uniformly introduced through a porous distributor (1-2 mm in diameter) at the bottom of the furnace, with a flow rate controlled at 10-15 L / min. As the argon bubbles rise, they carry some oxide scale to the surface of the melt. Every 25 minutes, slag is skimmed off at 810-830℃ (at this temperature, the slag has good fluidity and is easy to separate from the melt). The slag skimming tool is made of high-temperature resistant alloy material to avoid tool damage and the introduction of impurities.
[0025] S3. Two-stage purification: After the melt is completely melted, it is first purified by a rotary jetting device. The jetting head is inserted into the melt to a depth of 250-350mm, the nitrogen pressure is 0.4-0.6MPa, the device speed is controlled at 180-220r / min, and the purification time is 18-22min. Then the melt is filtered by a ceramic filter plate with a pore size of 20-40μm, a filtration area of 0.6-0.9m², and a melt flow rate of 0.3-0.5m / s. Specifically, to efficiently remove residual oxide scale (especially fine particles with a diameter ≤10μm) from the melt, a two-stage purification process of "rotary jetting + ceramic filtration" is adopted. The first stage of rotary jetting purification: After the raw material is completely melted, the nozzle of the rotary jetting device (made of Cr25Ni20 high-temperature resistant alloy, with an orifice diameter of 1.5-2.5mm) is inserted into the melt to a depth of 250-350mm. Nitrogen gas with a purity ≥99.99% (pressure 0.4-0.6MPa) is introduced, and the device speed is controlled at 180-220r / min—the high-speed rotation causes the nitrogen gas to form fine bubbles with a diameter of 1-3mm. The contact area between the bubbles and the melt reaches 0.8-1.2m² / L, which can efficiently adsorb fine oxide scale particles (adsorption rate ≥85%). The purification time is 18-22min, ensuring that the bubbles fully contact the melt and avoiding incomplete purification. The second stage of ceramic filtration and purification: the molten material after blowing flows through a composite ceramic filter plate, which consists of an upper layer (40μm pore size, intercepting large-particle oxide scale), a middle layer (30μm pore size, intercepting medium-particle oxide scale), and a lower layer (20μm pore size, intercepting small-particle oxide scale). The filtration area is 0.6-0.9m², and the melt flow rate is 0.3-0.5m / s. This flow rate ensures filtration efficiency (the capacity of a single filter plate is >10 tons) while avoiding filter plate breakage due to melt impact. The filter plate is preheated at 400-450℃ for 30-40 minutes before use to eliminate the risk of thermal shock and ensure filtration stability.
[0026] S4. Precision Casting: After purification, the melt is transferred to a vertical semi-continuous casting machine. Before casting, the melt is treated by an online degassing device. The vacuum degree of the degassing device is controlled at 25-35Pa, and the degassing time is 6-9min. After degassing, casting is carried out. The casting temperature is controlled at 700-730℃, and the casting speed is 0.6-1.0m / min. The cooling water temperature of the crystallizer of the vertical semi-continuous casting machine is controlled at 28-32℃, and the cooling water flow rate is controlled at 1.8-2.2m / s. The ingot is demolded after cooling to below 300℃.
[0027] Specifically, to prevent secondary contamination of oxide scale during the casting process, an "online degassing-precision casting-stable cooling" process is adopted. First, the purified melt is transferred to the vertical semi-continuous casting machine and treated by a rotor-type online degassing device—controlling the vacuum degree of the degassing device at 25-35 Pa, the rotor speed at 400-500 r / min, and the degassing time at 6-9 min, to remove residual gas from the melt (the gas content is reduced to below 0.1 mL / 100gAl), preventing bubbles from carrying oxide scale into the ingot. Secondly, during the casting process, the melt is guided into the crystallizer through the guide channel at the casting machine's pouring port (with an inner wall coated with a 5-8 μm boron nitride coating to reduce melt friction and oxidation). The casting temperature is controlled at 700-730℃ (at this temperature, the melt viscosity is 0.002-0.0025 Pa・s, resulting in good fluidity and a low oxidation rate), and the casting speed is 0.6-1.0 m / min (adjusted according to the ingot diameter; 0.6 m / min for a 200 mm diameter ingot and 1.0 m / min for a 300 mm diameter ingot). This prevents oxide scale buildup due to excessive speed or cold shuts due to insufficient speed. Finally, the crystallizer cooling system employs closed-loop temperature control, maintaining the cooling water temperature at 28-32℃ (fluctuation within ±1℃) and the cooling water flow rate at 1.8-2.2 m / s. This ensures uniform solidification of the ingot from the surface to the center (solidification rate 0.8-1.2℃ / s), reducing internal stress. The ingot is demolded after cooling to below 300℃ to prevent surface oxidation caused by high-temperature demolding. The entire process adopts a PLC control system to collect parameters such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, and speed in real time (sampling frequency 1 time / 10s). When the parameter deviation exceeds ±3%, an automatic alarm is triggered and an adjustment mechanism is activated (such as adjusting the heating power and gas flow rate) to ensure process stability.
[0028] Extreme reduction in oxide scale inclusions: This invention controls the oxide scale inclusions in recycled aluminum alloy ingots to ≤0.02% through full-process management of “pretreatment-smelting-purification-casting”, which is far lower than the existing technology level of 0.15% to 0.25%, and still has a significant advantage compared with the industry high-end standard (≤0.03%). It can meet the stringent requirements of ingot purity in high-end fields such as automotive lightweighting and electronic device housings, thereby reducing the processing cracking rate caused by oxide scale inclusions and reducing the amount of oxide scale inclusions.
[0029] This invention controls the oxide scale inclusion content of recycled aluminum alloy ingots to ≤0.02% through full-process management of "pretreatment-smelting-purification-casting," which is far lower than the existing technology level of 0.15% to 0.25%, and still has significant advantages compared with the industry's high-end standard (≤0.03%). It can meet the stringent requirements for ingot purity in high-end fields such as automotive lightweighting and electronic device housings. For example, it can be applied to the production of 6061 series recycled aluminum alloy ingots.
[0030] Dual Improvement in Ingot Qualification Rate and Performance: Precise process parameter control not only reduces oxide scale inclusions but also simultaneously improves the uniformity of the ingot's internal structure, increasing the ingot qualification rate to over 99.2%, a 14-19 percentage point improvement compared to existing technologies (80%–85%). This can reduce scrap losses by 150,000–200,000 RMB per batch. Simultaneously, the mechanical properties of the ingot are significantly optimized, with tensile strength reaching 310–330 MPa, yield strength 270–290 MPa, and elongation 14%–16%, representing improvements of 8%–10%, 7%–9%, and 10%–12% respectively compared to existing technologies. This allows for direct use in subsequent precision machining processes such as extrusion and forging.
[0031] Significant advantages in raw material utilization and cost: Hot air baking replaces acid washing in the raw material pretreatment stage, preventing the loss of alloying elements such as Mg and Zn (loss rate reduced from 3%-5% to less than 1%), increasing the utilization rate of recycled aluminum raw materials by 4-6 percentage points; Argon protection during the smelting process replaces the use of large amounts of flux, reducing flux costs by 80%-90% (flux cost per ton of ingot reduced from 50-80 yuan to 5-10 yuan), and also reducing flux volatilization and waste disposal costs (waste generation reduced by 60%-70%). Overall, the production cost per ton of recycled aluminum alloy ingot can be reduced by 120-150 yuan.
[0032] Green environmental protection and safe production assurance: The acid-free pickling process avoids the generation of acidic wastewater (reducing wastewater discharge by 8-10 m³ per ton of raw material), reducing wastewater treatment costs by more than 90%, and there is no release of corrosive gases such as Cl2. The air quality in the workshop meets the requirements of "Occupational Exposure Limits for Hazardous Factors in Industrial Sites" (GBZ2.1-2019); the PLC automatic control system reduces manual intervention, and the frequency of operators' contact with high-temperature and high-pressure equipment is reduced by 60% to 70%, significantly reducing the risk of safety production accidents.
[0033] Process adaptability and scalability: The process parameters of this invention can be flexibly adjusted according to the type of recycled aluminum raw material (such as automotive aluminum and construction aluminum). For example, when processing automotive aluminum raw materials with high Mg content (1.2% to 1.5%), the oxide scale control effect can be ensured by appropriately increasing the baking temperature (410-420℃) and argon flow rate (14-15L / min). At the same time, the process is compatible with existing large-scale production equipment (such as 5-10 ton graphite crucible melting furnaces and vertical semi-continuous casting machines). The equipment modification investment is only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and the modification cycle is 15-20 days, which is convenient for enterprises to quickly promote and apply.
[0034] Long-term controllable quality stability: The PLC system monitors and automatically adjusts 12 key parameters throughout the entire process (such as crushing particle size, baking temperature, argon flow rate, and casting speed) in real time, with parameter fluctuations controlled within ±3%, significantly improving stability compared to manual operation (fluctuations of ±8% to 10%). Long-term production data shows that the coefficient of variation of oxide scale inclusions in ingots produced over six consecutive months is only 0.08-0.12, far lower than the existing technology level of 0.3-0.5, ensuring consistent product quality. Example 1
[0035] This embodiment focuses on 6061 series recycled aluminum alloy ingots (the raw material is waste automotive aluminum parts, which, by weight, contain 96.5% Al, 0.6% Si, and 1.0% Mg). The specific steps are as follows: (1) Raw material pretreatment: Jaw crusher (crushing gap 15mm) is used to crush the raw material and control the particle size to 20mm; 0.25MPa compressed air is introduced to remove dust during crushing (efficiency 95%); Fe, Cu and plastic impurities >5mm are sorted out and removed, and then placed in a hot air baking oven (oxygen content 3%) and baked at 380℃ for 1.5h, turning it over once every 40min.
