This invention discloses a method for preparing high-pressure crush-resistant aluminum
alloy energy-absorbing box profiles for automobiles, relating to the field of aluminum
alloy material
processing technology. The method includes
alloy composition ratio and
casting, two-stage homogenization treatment, design of a special
extrusion die, precision
extrusion, high-strength online water
quenching, and controllable aging. This invention improves the crush-resistant properties of the material from the source by optimizing the
alloy composition system, controlling the Mg / Si ratio and modifying with
trace amounts of Mn. By using a two-stage homogenization heat treatment combined with a rapid
water cooling process,
dendrite segregation is fully eliminated and alloy elements are evenly distributed. Rapid cooling also maximizes the retention of supersaturated
solid solutions in the matrix, avoiding premature
precipitation of the Mg2Si phase and ensuring the uniformity of the
microstructure of cast bars from different batches. Combined with a special decompression structure
extrusion die, the forming accuracy and
microstructure uniformity of the profile are guaranteed, avoiding the risk of crush
stress concentration cracking from the forming process.
