Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of equipment and technology adopting graphite mold pressurising continuous casting fine forming, particularly a kind of equipment and technology method being applicable to 5356 aluminium alloy continuous casting fine formings, belongs to metal material processing field.
Background technology
5356 aluminium welding wires are a kind of broad-spectrum universal wldings, and intensity is high, has good corrosion stability.Be mainly used in the industries such as motor car, pressure vessels for the chemical industry, war industry's production, boats and ships, aviation, 5356 welding wires are widely applied in the welding of Al-Mg system, Al-Mg-Si system and Al-Zn-Mg line aluminium alloy structural material.
The chemical composition of 5356 aluminium welding wire welding wires is: Mg:4.5 ~ 5.5%, Mn:0.2 ~ 0.5%, Ti:0.05 ~ 0.2%, Zr:0.08 ~ 0.15%, Cr:0.05 ~ 0.2%, Si:<0.25%, Fe:<0.4%, Cu:<0.1%, all the other are Al, general about the 2mm of finished industrial product light 5356 aluminum alloy welding filament diameter.
Because 5356 aluminium alloy plasticity are poor, during continuous casting, easily there is " breaking " phenomenon, be difficult to the excellent base that direct continuous casting goes out minor diameter (diameter is not more than 10mm).Current China 5356 aluminium welding wire processing technology be first cast the ingot that diameter is about 100mm, then homogenizing annealing; Be extruded into into the excellent base of diameter 10mm again through extruder, extrusion speed is comparatively slow, and is easy to occur crackle, and yield rate is lower.Data shows some external producers 5356 welding wire and adopts continuous casting and rolling method to produce, and aluminium liquid continuous casting after refining becomes the length of side to be the lozenge blank of 40 ~ 50mm, becomes the line base of diameter about 10mm through 13 road hot continuous rollings.After these two kinds of techniques make the line base of about 10mm, all will make the brightness welding wire of about 2mm through drawing and annealing, operation is loaded down with trivial details in general for two kinds of techniques, and equipment needed thereby is complicated, consumes energy higher.
China produce 5356 aluminium alloy welding wires compared with import welding wire, hydrogen content and oxide inclusion content higher, had a strong impact on the quality of weld seam.Often there is the phenomenon broken in welding wire, mainly because oxide inclusion content is high, coarse grains, exists dendritic segregation problem in drawing process, causes the plasticity of aluminium alloy to decline, therefore cannot meet the needs of high-speed automated welding.Special industry (particularly bullet train, space flight, military affairs etc.) has to rely on import, affects the development of China's space flight and Defence business.Therefore, China must strengthen the research and preparation of welding wire high-quality Al alloy.
