Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy material modification technology, specifically to a high-toughness and wear-resistant iron-based composite additive adapted to high and low temperature cycling conditions and its aluminum alloy preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Iron, as a low-cost and effective element for modifying aluminum alloys, can strengthen them by forming intermetallic compounds such as Al3Fe and Al6Fe, thereby improving the hardness and wear resistance of aluminum alloys. It is widely used in the production of general-purpose aluminum alloy components. However, the application of existing iron additives in aluminum alloys has significant technical limitations, as follows: 1. Imbalance between toughness and strength: Existing iron additives are mostly elemental iron powder or simple iron alloy powder, which easily form coarse needle-like Al3Fe phases in aluminum alloys, causing the impact toughness of aluminum alloys to drop to 15 J / cm. 2 The following components are prone to brittle fracture and cannot be adapted to high-load scenarios; 2. Severe performance degradation at high and low temperatures: Currently, most iron-modified aluminum alloy additives in existing technologies are difficult to adapt to extreme temperature conditions. They are prone to cold brittleness at -50℃ (impact toughness reduction ≥40%), and the strengthening phase is prone to softening at 400℃ (hardness reduction ≥35%), which cannot meet the requirements for high and low temperature cycling. 3. Poor dispersibility and uneven performance: The density of iron powder differs greatly from that of aluminum alloy melt. Existing technologies have not solved the problem of sedimentation and agglomeration (the sedimentation rate of elemental iron powder is ≥30%), resulting in uneven distribution of iron elements and local differences in wear resistance of more than 50%. 4. Lack of corrosion resistance.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an iron-based composite additive that is significantly different from existing technologies, adaptable to extreme working conditions, and possesses high toughness, high and low temperature stability, uniform wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, to fill the technological gap in the modification of high-end aluminum alloys. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a high-toughness and wear-resistant iron-based composite additive adapted to high and low temperature cyclic operating conditions and its aluminum alloy preparation method, so as to solve the problem that iron additives in the prior art are difficult to achieve high toughness, high and low temperature stability, uniform wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a high-toughness and wear-resistant iron-based composite additive suitable for high and low temperature cyclic working conditions, wherein the raw materials, by mass, include 20-30 parts of modified nano iron powder, 10-15 parts of iron-nickel alloy powder, 5-9 parts of titanium carbide nanoparticles, 3-7 parts of rare earth oxide La2O3, 25-40 parts of aluminum-manganese alloy powder, 2-6 parts of dispersant regulator, and 1-4 parts of anti-corrosion additive, wherein the modified nano iron powder is obtained by modification with a silane coupling agent.
[0006] Preferably, as an improvement, the modified nano-iron powder has a particle size of 40-100 nm and a purity of ≥99.7%.
[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the iron-nickel alloy powder has a particle size of 100-200 nm and a nickel content of 35-37 wt%.
[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the titanium carbide nanoparticles have a particle size of 30-80 nm and a hardness ≥2800 HV.
[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the rare earth oxide La2O3 has a particle size of 80-150 nm and a purity of ≥99.5%.
[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the dispersion regulator is composed of zinc stearate and polyethylene glycol 600 in a mass ratio of 2.5 to 4:1, and the anti-corrosion additive is zinc dihydrogen phosphate micro powder.
[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, a method for preparing a high-toughness, wear-resistant iron-based composite additive adapted to high and low temperature cycling conditions includes the following steps: Step 1: Iron powder modification treatment: Add nano iron powder to anhydrous ethanol solution, stir and disperse, then add silane coupling agent KH550, stir at 65-75℃ for 2-3 hours, and then vacuum dry to obtain modified nano iron powder. Step 2: Premixing of composite components: Weigh out iron-nickel alloy powder, titanium carbide, rare earth oxides, and anti-corrosion additives according to the formula and mix them to obtain the premixed components; Step 3, Melt Coating Modification: Heat and melt aluminum-manganese alloy powder, add modified nano-iron powder and premixed components, stir and mix to obtain aluminum-manganese alloy coated composite powder; Step 4: Shaping and sieving: Cool the coated powder to room temperature, crush, sieve and dry to obtain a high-toughness and wear-resistant iron-based composite additive.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, in step one, the amount of silane coupling agent added is 3-5% of the mass of iron powder.
[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, a method for applying a high-toughness and wear-resistant iron-based composite additive adapted to high and low temperature cyclic conditions in aluminum alloys is provided, wherein the amount of iron-based composite additive added is 2.0-4.0% of the mass of the aluminum alloy melt.
[0014] The principle and advantages of this solution are as follows: In practical applications, existing technologies for iron-based modified aluminum alloys have always faced the bottleneck of "a trade-off between toughness and strength." Addressing the technical problems of existing iron-based aluminum alloy additives, this solution overcomes the limitations of single iron powder and single modifiers by creatively employing a quaternary synergistic system of "Fe-FeNi alloy powder-TiC-La2O3." The construction of this quaternary system is not a simple superposition of components, but rather based on three core requirements for iron-based modification of aluminum alloys: phase structure regulation, microstructure refinement, and complementary performance. It targets the pain points of traditional elemental iron powder / simple iron alloy powder modification, such as "coarse needle-like phases leading to poor toughness, unstable phase structure at high and low temperatures, imbalance between wear resistance and toughness, and lack of corrosion resistance," through targeted component selection and functional coupling. Each component performs its specific function within the system, working synergistically to form an integrated functional system of "strengthening-regulation-stabilization-protection." Modified nano-iron powder, used as the basic iron source in the system, was obtained by modification with silane coupling agent KH550. On the one hand, the density difference between the iron powder and the aluminum alloy melt was reduced by grafting amino groups on the surface, solving the problem of iron powder sedimentation and agglomeration. On the other hand, the nano-sized particle size can refine the initial strengthening phase. At the same time, the coating effect of the silane coupling agent inhibited the coarsening and needle-like formation of the Al3Fe phase during cooling, avoiding the problem of a sharp drop in toughness caused by the formation of coarse needle-like Al3Fe phase by traditional iron powder from the source. This lays a uniform strengthening phase foundation for subsequent multi-component synergy. 36 Iron-nickel alloy powder serves as the core for temperature performance regulation. Its key role is to form a Fe-Ni composite strengthening phase with iron powder. Utilizing the face-centered cubic crystal structure of Ni, it forms a multi-element solid solution with Al and Fe, enhancing the lattice stability of the strengthening phase. At low temperatures, the Fe-Ni composite phase can suppress the cold brittleness tendency of the aluminum alloy matrix, reduce dislocation pile-up and crack initiation, and solve the problem of traditional iron-modified aluminum alloys experiencing a ≥40% reduction in impact toughness at -50℃. At high temperatures, the thermal stability of the Fe-Ni composite phase is far superior to that of the single Al3Fe phase, preventing the softening and dissolution of the strengthening phase at 400℃ and ensuring the retention of high-temperature hardness and wear resistance. Simultaneously, FeNi… 36The nanoparticles form a gradient particle size distribution with the modified iron powder, further improving the dispersion uniformity of the reinforcing phase in the matrix. In addition, the system introduces high-hardness TiC nanoparticles (30-80nm, hardness ≥2800HV) to form a dual wear-resistant system with the iron-based metal reinforcing phase, which overcomes the limitation of traditional iron-based modification that relies solely on intermetallic compounds to improve wear resistance. High-purity La2O3 nanoparticles (80-150nm, purity ≥99.5%) were selected as the key regulating component of the system. They can refine the grains of the aluminum alloy matrix and the iron-based reinforcing phase. Through the grain boundary segregation effect of rare earth elements, the growth of grains and reinforcing phases is inhibited, thereby improving impact toughness and plasticity. The morphology of the reinforcing phase is optimized, promoting the transformation of the Al3Fe phase from needle-like to short rod-like / quasi-circular, eliminating stress concentration sources and further improving toughness. It forms stable rare earth compounds with impurity elements (such as Fe and Si) in the aluminum alloy, reducing grain boundary impurity segregation, increasing grain boundary density, and simultaneously improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy, laying the structural foundation for the subsequent role of anti-corrosion additives.
[0015] In terms of optimizing the preparation process, silane coupling modification lays a uniform powder foundation for melt coating, and melt coating lays a density-matched composite powder foundation for ultrasonic dispersion. The synergistic dispersion process of mechanical stirring and ultrasonic dispersion allows the dispersant in the formula to play a full role, ensuring the uniform distribution of composite powder in the melt. The gradient cooling and two-stage aging process regulates the phase structure characteristics of the quaternary system, promotes the uniform precipitation of Fe-Ni composite phase and TiC phase, refines grains, improves microstructure stability, and fully transforms the component advantages of the formula into the performance advantages of aluminum alloy.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: 1. Solving the pain point of toughness-strength imbalance: By refining the strengthening phase with rare earth oxides and regulating the phase structure with iron-nickel alloy, the impact toughness of aluminum alloy is significantly improved, while the room temperature hardness is ≥140HB, achieving a synergistic effect of "high toughness and high hardness".
[0017] 2. Breakthrough in high and low temperature performance bottlenecks: Impact toughness at -50℃ ≥22J / cm 2 (Reduction ≤21%), high temperature hardness ≥115HB at 400℃ (retention rate ≥82%), which is a significant improvement compared to existing technologies (low temperature reduction ≥40%, high temperature retention rate ≤65%), solving the problem of limitations in extreme temperature applications.
[0018] 3. Achieve synergistic performance across multiple areas: Simultaneously improve dispersion (iron element distribution variation coefficient ≤ 0.12), wear resistance (wear amount ≤ 0.025g / 1000r), and corrosion resistance (48h salt spray corrosion area ≤ 4%), with corrosion resistance not only not decreasing but actually increasing.
[0019] 4. Wide range of applications: It is compatible with a variety of commonly used aluminum alloys such as 6061 and 7075, and can be used to manufacture wear-resistant components for rail transit, high-end equipment components for high and low temperature cyclic operation, etc., with broad market application prospects.
