AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing 3xxx series aluminum alloys are prone to forming coarse, high-melting-point second phases during the anodizing process, leading to surface defects and affecting the yield.

Method used

Cr microalloying promotes the formation of stable blocky α phase and inhibits the nucleation and growth of acicular β phase. Combined with homogenization treatment, it forms uniformly distributed fine and dense second-phase compounds, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the alloy.

Benefits of technology

It improves the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of aluminum alloys, avoids surface defects after anodizing, and improves the yield.
