Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy material technology, specifically relating to a highly formable 3-series aluminum alloy sheet suitable for deep drawing applications such as cosmetic packaging shells and consumer electronics casings, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the cosmetics industry's surging demand for lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and recyclable packaging materials, aluminum alloy sheets with a thickness of 0.4-0.6mm have become the preferred material for the outer shells of high-end cosmetic tubes, cushion compacts, and serum bottles. 3-series aluminum alloys (Al-Mn series) are widely used due to their good corrosion resistance, weldability, and moderate strength.
[0003] In the existing technology, domestic and foreign patent technologies involving aluminum alloy sheets for cosmetic packaging mainly present the following technical routes:
[0004] Prior art 1, CN113874535A / WO2020239276A1, discloses a rolled aluminum-based alloy product for cosmetic packaging, with the following composition: Mn 1.0–1.5%, Mg 0.2–0.6%, Si 0.2–0.6%, Fe 0.1–0.7%, and Cu 0.05–0.3%, requiring the Al(Fe,Mn)Si phase to account for at least 50%. The technical feature of this patent is the forced introduction of Mg (0.2–0.6%) to improve strength through solid solution strengthening. However, the addition of Mg leads to the following problems: firstly, it increases the alloy density and cost; secondly, the energy consumption for recycling and smelting 5-series aluminum is 18% higher than that for 3-series aluminum; and thirdly, the presence of Mg reduces the surface uniformity after anodizing, which is detrimental to the high-end appearance requirements of cosmetic packaging.
[0005] Prior art 2, CN107299262A, discloses a 3XXX series aluminum alloy with high Si content, comprising Si 0.62–0.78%, Fe 0.51–0.61%, Cu 0.10–0.16%, Mn 1.07–1.33%, and Mg 1.09–1.22%. This patent also relies on a high Mg content (above 1.0%) for strengthening, and the Si content is significantly high (above 0.62%), which leads to the precipitation of coarse eutectic silicon phase, impairing deep-drawing performance. Furthermore, this patent does not address the precise control of the Fe / Si ratio.
[0006] Prior art 3, CN201811015307A, discloses an aluminum alloy for cosmetics, characterized by extremely low alloying (Si≤0.12%, Fe≤0.25%, Cu≤0.05%, Mn≤0.05%), with a tensile strength of only 100–130 MPa, an elongation of only 4%–5%, and insufficient cupping value, making it difficult to meet the forming requirements of complex deep-drawing shells;
[0007] Prior art 4, US20160265095A1, discloses a 3000 series aluminum alloy sheet for automobile bodies. Although it has high strength and high flexibility, its application scenario is automobile body panels rather than cosmetic packaging. It has not been specifically optimized for surface gloss and deep drawing performance under ultra-thin (≤0.5mm) conditions.
[0008] In summary, the existing technology currently has the following shortcomings:
[0009] The current technology relies heavily on Mg for strengthening: the patents of existing technologies 1 and 2 both introduce Mg (0.2–1.22%), which increases recycling costs and surface treatment difficulty, and the deep drawing performance of Mg-based alloys is unstable in ultra-thin states;
[0010] Fe / Si ratio control is lacking: Except for a few patents, most existing technologies do not precisely constrain the Fe / Si ratio, resulting in the precipitation of needle-like β-AlFeSi phase, which impairs formability;
[0011] The Cu content range is too wide or too high: In the existing technology, the Cu content is 0.05-0.30%, and an upper limit that is too high can easily lead to intergranular corrosion.
[0012] Insufficient coupling between composition and process: Existing patents are mostly isolated composition designs, and do not systematically and collaboratively optimize composition control with process parameters such as asynchronous cold rolling and two-stage annealing.
[0013] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a highly formable 3-series aluminum alloy sheet with no Mg addition, precise control of the Fe / Si ratio, and trace Cu addition to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-formability 3-series aluminum alloy sheet and its preparation method. It achieves a balance between high strength and high elongation through Mn-Fe-Si-Cu quaternary synergistic strengthening, and eliminates the alloy system design and preparation process that requires the addition of Mg. This solves the technical problems of existing 3-series aluminum alloys, such as high recycling costs due to Mg dependence, difficulty in surface treatment, brittle phase precipitation caused by uncontrolled Fe / Si ratio, easy cracking in deep drawing, and increased corrosion risk due to improper Cu content. At the same time, it reduces the dependence on imported materials.
[0015] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0029] Furthermore, S3, three-stage asynchronous rolling: the roughing stage rolls from 5.0 to 1.2 mm with a rolling force of 3500 kN; the intermediate rolling stage rolls from 1.2 to 0.6 mm with a tension difference of 15%; the finishing stage rolls from 0.6 to 0.48 mm with a work roll crown of 0.005 mm.
[0030] Furthermore, S4 is kept at a temperature in a nitrogen-hydrogen mixed atmosphere and recrystallized.
[0031] Furthermore, in the S5 chromium-free passivation process, the passivation system was: sodium molybdate 10g / L, GPTMS 4%, pH 3.8, temperature 40℃, immersion for 2min, and passivation film thickness 220nm; in the micro-arc oxidation process, the electrical parameters were 400V / 800Hz, duty cycle 15%, the electrolyte was a silicate system, and the Al2O3 ceramic layer thickness was 5μm.
[0032] Furthermore, the size of the needle-like β-AlFeSi phase in the finished aluminum alloy is ≤2μm, and the spherical α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si phase accounts for more than 80% of the total precipitated phase; after sulfuric acid anodizing treatment, the surface has no color difference or dark stripes, and the gloss uniformity ΔE is ≤0.5.

[0038] 5. Breaking through patent barriers: The combination strategy of Mg-free + precise Fe / Si ratio + narrow range Cu in this invention forms a clear compositional differentiation from existing patents, realizing independent intellectual property rights. Detailed Implementation

In addition, the energy consumption of recycling and smelting of Mg-containing alloys is about 18% higher than that of the present invention.
[0087] Comparative Example 2 (Fe / Si>2:1)
[0088] A 3-series aluminum alloy sheet, by mass percentage, is composed of the following components: Mn 1.20%, Fe 0.70%, Si 0.20% (Fe / Si=3.5), Cu 0.08%, and no Mg. The preparation process is the same as in Example 1.

The test results verified the necessity of the Fe / Si ratio ≤ 2:1 constraint condition.
[0090] Comparative Example 3 (Cu level is too high)
[0091] A 3-series aluminum alloy sheet, by mass percentage, is composed of the following components: Mn 1.20%, Fe 0.45%, Si 0.25%, Cu 0.25% (high), and no Mg. The preparation process is the same as in Example 1.
[0092] Performance test results: Cu segregation at grain boundaries intensified, and the tendency for intergranular corrosion increased significantly. After 72 hours of neutral salt spray testing, obvious intergranular corrosion spots appeared, with an area ratio >2%, while in Example 1 of this invention, corrosion spots were <0.3% under the same conditions. The test results verified the synergistic effect of adding 0.05-0.10% Cu.
[0093] Comparative Example 4 (without Cu)
[0094] A 3-series aluminum alloy sheet, by mass percentage, is composed of the following components: Mn 1.20%, Fe 0.45%, Si 0.25%; free of Cu and Mg. The preparation process is the same as in Example 1.
[0095] Performance test results: recrystallization temperature 305℃, elongation after annealing 7.7%, fracture toughness decreased by 20% compared to Example 1, and stamping pass rate 52%. The test results of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 verified the synergistic effect of adding 0.05-0.10% Cu.
[0096] Comparative analysis of this application with existing patents:
[0097] 1. Eliminate the addition of Mg to achieve green and low-cost production.
[0098] Existing technologies all force the addition of 0.2–1.22% Mg to improve strength. This invention achieves mechanical properties of tensile strength ≥140MPa and elongation ≥9.2% without relying on Mg by precisely controlling the Fe / Si ratio and adding trace amounts of Cu. This avoids the increased energy consumption of recycling and smelting (18% higher than the 3-series) and the problem of uneven anodized surface caused by Mg.
[0099] Second: Precise control of the Fe / Si ratio ≤ 2:1 suppresses acicular brittle phase.
[0100] Existing patents generally do not constrain the Fe / Si ratio (CN113874535A specifies a Fe / Si ratio range of 0.17–3.5, which lacks sufficient control precision). This invention is the first to explicitly propose a Fe / Si ratio constraint of ≤2:1 in 3-series aluminum alloys used in cosmetic packaging. Thermodynamic calculations show that this ratio can effectively suppress the formation of needle-like β-AlFeSi phases (phase size ≤2μm), promote the precipitation of spherical α-Al(Fe,Mn)Si phases (accounting for over 80%), and improve the deep-drawing r-value to above 0.8. While the latest patent CN120945241A proposes Fe / Si ratio control (0.08–0.28), it targets 6-series aluminum alloys containing 0.8–1.2% Mg, applied in the semiconductor equipment field, which is completely different from the Mg-free 3-series system technology of this invention.
[0101] 3. Precise control of trace Cu addition (0.05–0.10%)
[0102] Existing patents have excessively wide ranges for Cu content (CN113874535A: 0.05–0.30%, CN107299262A: 0.10–0.16%), with the upper limit being too high, which can easily lead to intergranular corrosion. This invention strictly limits the Cu content to a narrow range of 0.05–0.10%, utilizing its grain boundary segregation effect to reduce the recrystallization temperature by 15℃ (from 305℃ to 290℃), achieving an 8% saving in annealing energy consumption. Simultaneously, TEM observation confirms that Cu forms 5-10nm nanoscale segregations at the grain boundaries, avoiding the corrosion risk caused by excessive Cu.
[0103] 4. Deep Synergy Between Ingredients and Processes
[0104] Existing patents mostly focus on isolated composition design. This invention systematically couples composition control with process parameters: gradient ingot casting technology (Mn content gradually changes ±0.2% along the rolling direction) compensates for elemental losses during rolling; three-stage asynchronous cold rolling (roughing / intermediate rolling / finishing, with a tension difference of 15% between the front and rear) combined with two-stage rapid annealing (heating rate of 100℃ / min) forms a closed-loop optimization of "composition → microstructure → properties". Existing asynchronous rolling patent (CN106903166A) only focuses on warpage control and does not involve the synergistic optimization of composition design and asynchronous rolling.
[0105] The present invention is systematically compared with the prior art, and the comparison results are shown in Table 1.
