Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation methods of auto parts and components High-strength heat-resistant aluminum alloy material, belong to automotive material system
Standby technical field.
Background technique
With the rapid development of the automotive industry, requirement of the auto parts and components to material therefor is higher and higher, not only needs material
Material has low-density to meet lightweight target, requires high temperature resistant, wear-resistant, dimensional stability also to reach use of being on active service and want
It asks.Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe is a kind of high-strength temperature-resistant type aluminium alloy, has low-density (< 3.0g/cm3), high intensity, high temperature resistant,
The comprehensive performances such as low thermal coefficient of expansion have been used for the components such as piston of automobile engine, air conditioning compressor blade in recent years.So
And when preparing Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe material using casting technique, due to Si particle more difficult to control in alloy graining process and Al-
The heat-resisting phase of Fe is grown up, and material property is generally difficult to reach requirement;And powder metallurgy aerosolization method is used to be quickly cooled down
Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe alloy melt, the Al-Cu-Mg- of the available Si particle with microsize and Al-Fe phase constitution
Si-Fe alloy powder, the material that powder obtains after sintering can get high mechanical property, can satisfy making for auto parts and components
With requiring.
Currently, tradition Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe powder aerosolization processing step are as follows: alloy raw material melting ingot → alloy pig
Enter atomizing furnace secondary fusion → alloy melt gas-atomized powder.Wherein, it during alloy raw material melting ingot, is closed to improve
The smelting efficiency of gold, generally requires and first prepares Al-Si and Al-Fe intermediate alloy, then again by intermediate alloy and Al ingot, Cu ingot
With the common melting ingot of Mg ingot.Above-mentioned fusion process has the following problems: (1) Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe melting ingot includes three times
Fusion process, the i.e. melting of Al-Si intermediate alloy, the melting of Al-Fe intermediate alloy, Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe alloy melting, melting time
Number is more, energy consumption is high, production long preparation period;(2) Mg in alloy is easy scaling loss element, and the scaling loss of Mg causes to close in fusion process
The golden more difficult accurate control of ingredient, and then influence material mechanical performance.And Mg is generally added in melting final stage in melt, this
It just needs for melt temperature (850~950 DEG C) to be down to suitable temperature (such as 700~750 DEG C) to operate again, melt is caused to drop
Warm waiting time is long, reduces production efficiency.(3) in Al-Cu-Mg-Si-Fe alloy element species it is more (Al, Cu, Mg, Si,
Fe), complicated component, process window narrow (atomization temperature, atomization cooling velocity, atomization gas more demanding to powder by atomization technique
Pressure), powder atomization difficulty is big, the period is long.
