This invention discloses a method for preparing high-strength, high-
toughness, ultra-thin
aluminum foil for power batteries using cast-rolled 8006
alloy, belonging to the field of aluminum
alloy material technology. The method uses 20%–30% by
mass of remelted aluminum ingots and 70%–80% by
mass of 8021
alloy cast-rolled coil
scrap as raw materials.
Ceramic aluminum seed crystals are added, and the
alloy composition is adjusted to Si 0.2%–0.3%, Fe 1.2%–1.4%, Cu 0.05%–0.07%, Mn 0.3%–0.5%, Mg≤0.02%, Zn≤0.05%, Ti 0.01%–0.02%, with the balance being Al. After melting, adding aluminum-
titanium-carbon and aluminum-
titanium-
boron grain refiners, degassing, two-stage
filtration, and tubular
filtration, the
aluminum foil is cast using an
electromagnetic casting crystallizer, followed by high-temperature recrystallization annealing, cold rolling, longitudinal shearing, foil rolling, inspection, and packaging to obtain the finished
aluminum foil. The aluminum foil prepared by this invention has a thickness of 0.008 mm, a tensile strength ≥310 MPa, a yield strength ≥280 MPa, and an elongation ≥4.0%, and has the advantages of high strength, high elongation, low pinhole rate, and low
oil content.
