Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy, in particular to aluminum alloy and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The aluminum-based steel used for power battery casings has become an irreversible trend due to weight reduction requirements. Meanwhile, in order to improve space utilization and charge capacity, aluminum alloy power battery cases have also become an irreversible trend toward being lighter and thinner. The thickness of the shell of the battery shell is gradually reduced from the initial 1.4mm, and at the present stage, the thickness of the shell is mostly a square battery shell with the thickness of 0.5 mm-0.7mm and a circular battery shell with the thickness of about 0.3 mm. Among them, the square battery case is particularly preferred because of its high space utilization. Because the existing thin-wall battery shell can not meet the safety requirement, in order to improve the safety, an explosion-proof sheet needs to be directly installed on the shell, and therefore the requirement direction of the battery shell is gradually changed from the original product with the same wall thickness to the product with the different wall thickness.
The manufacturing method of the aluminum alloy power battery shell in the prior art comprises the following steps: firstly, 3003 material or improved alloy is selected and rolled into thin plate, and then is cut and deep-drawn to form the alloy; secondly, 3003 material or improved alloy is selected and extruded into plate, and then the plate is cut and reversely extruded; thirdly, 3003 material or improved alloy is selected, hot extruded into a square shell or a round tube, and then cold drawn to obtain the alloy; and fourthly, 6063 alloy or modified alloy is selected and extruded and then aged. The first, second and third manufacturing methods all comprise a cold working hardening process, the manufacturing process is long, the yield of the superposition process is high, and the cost is high. Wherein, the first and second manufacturing methods can not produce the aluminum alloy power battery shell with unequal wall thickness. In the third manufacturing method, although the aluminum alloy power battery shell with different wall thicknesses can be manufactured, because the wall thicknesses of two adjacent edges of the power battery shell are different, wavy lines, wrinkles and even breakage often occur at the positions of the different wall thicknesses, so that the drawing cannot be carried out. The fourth manufacturing procedure of the manufacturing method is shortest, but because the hot extrusion molding belongs to hot working, the manufacturing method is also very difficult to prepare the power battery shell with unequal wall thickness, thin size (the thinnest reaches 0.3 mm) and high dimensional precision.
Therefore, it is desirable to provide an aluminum alloy which has good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, laser weldability and applicable strength, and can be used for preparing power battery cases with different wall thicknesses.
Disclosure of Invention
The present invention is directed to solving at least one of the problems of the prior art. Therefore, the aluminum alloy provided by the invention can be used for preparing power battery cases with different wall thicknesses while ensuring good corrosion resistance, heat conductivity, laser weldability and applicable strength.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the aluminum alloy.
The invention also provides application of the aluminum alloy.
An aluminium alloy according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention consists of, in mass percent: less than or equal to 0.05 percent of Cu, less than or equal to 0.12 percent of Fe, 1.05 to 1.50 percent of Mn1.12 to 0.25 percent of Si, 0.10 to 0.20 percent of Mg0.08 to 0.15 percent of Ce0.03 to 0.07 percent of La0.02 to 0.06 percent of B, less than or equal to 0.01 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.03 percent of Ti, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of impurity and the balance of Al.
The aluminum alloy provided by the embodiment of the invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
the aluminum alloy of the embodiment of the invention balances the relationship between the strength of the aluminum alloy and the fluidity and quenching sensitivity through the proportion of each element. The aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance and excellent heat conductivity, and has laser weldability and application strength. The method is particularly suitable for manufacturing square or round aluminum alloy power battery shells with different wall thicknesses and thin walls (the thinnest wall thickness is 0.3-0.7 mm, and the local thickness is 1.2-2.0 mm).
The aluminum alloy of the embodiment of the invention takes manganese (Mn) as the main alloyThe element Mn forms MnAl with aluminum (Al) 6 And (4) phase. Silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) have solid solution strengthening effect in aluminum alloy, and Mg can be precipitated 2 A Si strengthening phase. Aluminum alloy strength dependent on Mn content, mg 2 The increase in Si content increases, but as the strength increases, the resistance to extrusion deformation tends to increase, and the extrusion performance is seriously deteriorated. The invention ensures the extrudability, good weldability, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy by limiting the using amounts of Mn, mg and Si.
The cerium (Ce) and the lanthanum (La) eliminate coarse compounds in the ingot, improve the shape of the precipitate, reduce the hot extrusion force and provide certain alloy fluidity. At the same time, ce, la and Al form Al 11 La 3 、Al 4 La、Al 11 Ce 3 And A1 4 The granular or rod-shaped second phase of Ce plays a role in dispersion strengthening, and the mechanical property is further improved.
Boron (B) can properly improve the heat-conducting property of the aluminum alloy. However, when the B element exceeds a certain amount, B and Ti easily form hard particles, thereby affecting the high-temperature fluidity of the material. The invention ensures the high-temperature fluidity and the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy by limiting the dosage of B.
Copper (Cu) can improve the strength of aluminum alloys, but can reduce the corrosion resistance, increase the extrusion deformation resistance, and significantly improve the quenching sensitivity. The invention controls the addition of Cu on the premise of ensuring high strength.
Chromium (Cr) is a microalloying element of the aluminum alloy, can obviously improve the quenching sensitivity of the alloy and improve the extrusion deformation resistance of the alloy, but the Cr and the Al generate phase change reaction during homogenization treatment to form AlCr 7 Is a thermodynamically stable fine dispersed phase which inhibits recrystallization and grain growth.

The specific test results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from table 1, the aluminum alloy for power batteries provided in embodiments 1 to 4 of the present invention has good tensile strength, yield strength, elongation after fracture, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and laser weldability while meeting the requirements for dimensional accuracy.
Comparative example 1 during preparation, the situation that the extrusion speed of the first support rod is low, the flow difference between the thick-wall edge and the thin-wall edge of the product is large, and the mold is plugged occurs, extrusion forming cannot be performed, and the square shell of the aluminum alloy power battery with unequal wall thickness is obtained. This is probably because comparative example 1 does not contain proper amounts of Ce and La, the cast ingot has large rheological stress, and particularly when an asymmetric profile is extruded, the difference between the resistance of the thick-walled edge and the resistance of the thin-walled edge is large, so that the difference between the extrusion speeds of various parts is large, and the part with high flow is pulled by the part with low flow to form blockage, so that the continuous extrusion cannot be carried out. In addition, the aluminum alloy of comparative example 1 does not contain B, so that the thermal conductivity is reduced and the thermal conductivity is deteriorated.
In the preparation of comparative example 2, the extrusion speed of the first support rod is low, the flow difference between the thick-wall edge and the thin-wall edge of the product is large, and the aluminum alloy power battery square shell with different wall thicknesses cannot be obtained by extrusion under the condition of die plugging. This is probably due to the fact that the main alloying elements of the aluminum alloy of this comparative example were 0.50% Mn, 0.4% Si and 0.35% Mg, relying mainly on precipitation of MnAl by dispersion 6 、Mg 2 Si to improve the strength of the product. The aluminum alloy has general fluidity and can be used for extruding products with equal walls or thick integral wall thickness, when the aluminum alloy is used for extruding products with asymmetric unequal wall thickness and the thinnest wall thickness is very thin (such as 0.3mm-0.7 mm), the cast ingot has large rheological stress, the resistance difference between a thick wall section and a thin wall section is large, the extrusion speed difference of each part is large, the part with high fluidity is pulled by the part with low fluidity to form blockage, and the extrusion can not be continuously carried out.
The square shell of the aluminum alloy power battery prepared in the comparative example 3 has the advantages of wavy surface, uneven surface and large wall thickness deviation. This is probably because the aluminum alloy ingot B is directly heated to 470 ℃ in the comparative example 3, the heating is not carried out through the secondary heating process, and the heating process is not strictly controlled (actually measured temperature of the head and the tail of a single ingot is 465-572 ℃ and temperature range between the whole batch of ingots is 462-578 ℃), so that the temperature difference of the ingots in the same batch is large, temperature change influences the metal rheological stress in the extrusion process, and the aluminum alloy ingot B flows fast when the temperature is high and flows slowly when the temperature is low. In the case of continuous production using the same set of dies, the extruded product is dimensionally unstable, especially in terms of differences in wall thickness.
Comparative example 4 does not have the condition of mold plugging in the preparation, and the square aluminum alloy power battery shell can be prepared, but the thin edge wall thickness of the square aluminum alloy power battery shell does not meet the requirement, and the situation of scratching occurs. This is probably because the added Ce and La elements are not suitable in content, so that the rheological stress of the cast ingot is still high.
Comparative example 5 the die plugging condition does not occur in the preparation, the square aluminum alloy power battery shell can be prepared, but the thin edge wall thickness of the square aluminum alloy power battery shell does not meet the requirement, and the scraping condition occurs. This is probably because comparative example 5 did not perform the secondary homogenization treatment process- "further cool to 450 ℃ and preserve heat for 3h". Under the process condition, mnAl 6 The precipitation growth affects the structure of the product in the extrusion process, so that coarse crystal and fiber crystal mixed crystal grains are formed, the mechanical property and the corrosion resistance of the product are further affected, and welding cracks are caused. Coarse MnAl 6 When the precipitated phase is the same, the rheological stress of the material is improved, so that the extruded product is easy to scratch.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
