Description

Homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a metal processing technology, and particularly relates to a homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Aluminum is considered to be the most economical and practical in a plurality of application fields, and alloy elements are added into the aluminum and a heat treatment mode is applied to strengthen the aluminum as a structural material, so that aluminum alloy is produced, wherein 6 series aluminum alloy is also called aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy, is heat treatment type corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, has higher strength and corrosion resistance, has better uniformity, and is the aluminum alloy which is sold in the market at presentProducts which are relatively fluid in the field are particularly important in engineering applications and are mainly used for extruded profiles. The metal and the alloy inevitably generate dendritic segregation and eutectic structures in the casting solidification process, and the dendritic segregation and the eutectic structures in the alloy are eliminated or reduced through a homogenization treatment process, so that the nonuniformity of chemical components and structures in the alloy is reduced. The temperature in the homogenization process influences the dissolution speed of the eutectic phase, and when the temperature is higher, the heat preservation time can be reduced. The cooling rate in the homogenization process also influences the structure of the homogenized aluminum alloy, the cooling rate is too high, great stress can be generated in the structure, the aluminum alloy is deformed, the cooling rate is slow, and coarse Mg can be generated2Si phase is separated out, and the later processing performance of the aluminum alloy is seriously influenced. In the existing reports of 6 series aluminum alloy homogenization treatment, the homogenization time is too long, the cost is too high, the cooling rate is not clearly given, and some methods also adopt two-stage homogenization, the homogenization time is too long, the cost is higher, for example, in the novel Al-Mg-Si alloy material disclosed in the prior art, the homogenization time is too long, the cost is too high, the cooling rate is not clearly given, in addition, the homogenization time range in the disclosed Al-Mg-Si alloy is larger, the cooling rate after homogenization is not clearly given, and the two-stage homogenization is adopted in the disclosed aluminum alloy ingot casting and aluminum alloy homogenization process, the homogenization time is too long, and the cost is higher.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a method for homogenizing 6 series aluminum alloy and homogenized 6 series aluminum alloy prepared by the method, and residual Mg in the structure of the homogenized 6 series aluminum alloy prepared by the method2The relative area and the length-width ratio of the Si eutectic phase and the average area and the length-width ratio of the Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase are excellent and reasonable, so that the aluminum alloy has more excellent performance.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
the preparation method of the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy comprises the following steps of carrying out heat preservation on a 6-series aluminum alloy ingot at 550-580 ℃ for 8-12 hours, and then cooling to obtain the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy.
In the technical scheme, the cooling comprises air cooling and water mist cooling, and preferably, the water mist cooling is carried out after the air cooling; further preferably, the cooling rate is 3-6 ℃/min during air cooling, and the water mist is adopted to cool to the room temperature when the air cooling is carried out to 300 ℃, and the cooling rate of the water mist is 5-7 ℃/min, so as to obtain the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy. In the prior art, homogenization heat preservation is generally adopted and then water cooling is directly carried out or water cooling and air cooling are carried out firstly, air cooling is carried out at the speed of 3-6 ℃/min after homogenization, and then water mist cooling is carried out, wherein the water mist cooling rate is 5-7 ℃/min, so that stress caused by over-quick cooling is avoided, a precipitated phase is prevented from being too thick, the precipitated phase can be quickly redissolved during later-stage solution treatment, and finally, the homogenized aluminum alloy with ideal organization can be obtained.
In the invention, the 6-series aluminum alloy cast ingot is an existing product and refers to a product before homogenization; preferably, the 6 series aluminum alloy comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 0.5 to 0.8 wt% of Mg, 0.4 to 1.1 wt% of Si, less than or equal to 0.4 wt% of Cu, 0.03 to 0.7 wt% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.2 wt% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.2 wt% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.15 wt% of Zn, less than or equal to 0.02 wt% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.1% of total impurity content, less than or equal to 0.03% of single impurity content, and the balance of Al.
In the present invention, the 6-series aluminum alloy ingot is preferably kept at 560 ℃ for 8 to 12 hours and then cooled to obtain a homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy. The prior art adopts the holding time of more than 12 hours, even longer time, and hopes to eliminate or reduce the dendritic segregation and eutectic structure in the alloy and reduce the nonuniformity of chemical components and structures in the alloy, but the holding time is too long, so the cost is higher. Some homogenization processes do not focus on the cooling process, so that the cooling rate is too high or too low, and the homogenization structure performance of the aluminum alloy cast ingot is reduced. The method preferentially adopts air cooling, the cooling rate is 3-6 ℃/min, the aluminum alloy cast ingot is cooled to 300 ℃, then water mist is adopted for cooling to room temperature, the water mist cooling rate is 5-7 ℃/min, and due to the adoption of the proper cooling rate, the aluminum alloy cast ingot can not generate stress due to too high cooling speed, and can not generate thick precipitated phase due to too low cooling speed, so that residual Mg in an aluminum alloy structure can not be generated2Relative area and aspect ratio of Si eutectic phase and average area and length of Al (Mn, Fe) Si phaseThe width ratio is in the optimal range, and the performance of the aluminum alloy is more excellent.
In the invention, the cooled homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy can be directly used for processing and forming without other treatment, the obtained product has excellent performance, and the defect that the prior art needs further treatment is overcome.
In the prior art, the melting temperature of a low-melting-point eutectic phase in 6 series aluminum alloy is determined through DSC, and then homogenization treatment is carried out at a certain temperature, so that the content of a low-melting-point eutectic phase Mg2Si phase in the aluminum alloy can be reduced, the structure of an Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase is changed, and a needle-shaped Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase is converted into a granular alpha-Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase, so that the aluminum alloy has more excellent performance, but the homogenization time is longer, the cooling mode is not favorable for controlling the size of a precipitated phase, so that more low-melting-point eutectic phases and needle-shaped Al (Mn, Fe) Si phases remain in the structure of the 6 series aluminum alloy, and the later-stage processing. The homogenization and cooling are carried out within the homogenization temperature range specified in the method, the eutectic phase of the low-melting-point Mg2Si in the structure of the 6-series aluminum alloy is completely dissolved, the needle-shaped Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase is completely converted into the granular alpha-Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase, and the size of a precipitated phase in the cooling process is smaller, so that the performance of the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy is more excellent, and the later-stage processing is facilitated.

Figure 687252DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
The results in example 1 and comparative examples 1, 2 and 3 in table 1 above show that the cooling mode affects the parameters of the residual Mg2Si eutectic phase and Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase in the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy, when air cooling is first adopted to cool to 300 ℃, the rate is 3 ℃ -6 ℃/min, then water mist cooling is adopted, the cooling rate is 5-7 ℃/min, the parameters of the residual Mg2Si eutectic phase and Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase in the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy are smaller, which indicates that the structure is more uniform, and the homogenization effect is better. The results of example 1 and comparative examples 4 and 5 show that the parameters for homogenizing the residual Mg2Si eutectic phase and Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase in the 6-series aluminum alloy are larger and the aluminum alloy has a nonuniform texture when the homogenization time is shorter or the homogenization temperature is lower.

In comparison of industrial ingot 6 with example 8, when the homogenization time was prolonged, Mg remained in the 6-series aluminum alloy2The variation of the parameters of the Si eutectic phase and the Al (Mn, Fe) Si phase is small, which indicates that the homogenization effect of blindly prolonging the homogenization time is general.

The comparative results of the industrial ingots 1, 2 and 3 and the example 8 in the table 4 show that the cooling mode influences the hardness and the tensile strength of the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy, and when the ingot is cooled to 300 ℃ by air cooling at the speed of 3-6 ℃/min and then cooled by water mist at the cooling speed of 5-7 ℃/min, the hardness and the tensile strength of the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy are higher, which indicates that the homogenization effect is better. Industrial ingots 4 and 5 compared with example 8, when the homogenization time is shorter or the homogenization temperature is lower, the hardness and tensile strength of the homogenized 6-series aluminum alloy are smaller, indicating that the aluminum alloy has poor performance and the homogenization effect is poor. Compared with example 8, the hardness and tensile strength of the 6-series aluminum alloy did not change much or even decreased when the homogenization time was extended, indicating that the extension time did not contribute much to the homogenization effect of the aluminum alloy.
