Description

Method for improving corrosion damage resistance of conductor aluminum alloy
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy surface treatment, and particularly relates to a method for improving corrosion damage resistance of a conductor aluminum alloy.
Background
Aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si) is widely applied in the electric field due to higher specific strength, good formability, excellent electric conduction and heat conduction performances and the like, and particularly in the aspect of wire manufacturing, the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si) is a preferred electric conduction material for national long-distance power transmission.
With the rapid development of ultra-high voltage transmission, the sectional area of a wire is larger and larger, meanwhile, the topography of an ultra-high voltage line is changeable, the conditions of large span and large height difference are more and more occurred, and the requirements on the mechanical bearing capacity of the wire and the connecting hardware fitting are higher and higher strength of conductor materials for manufacturing the wire and the hardware fitting are required. Under the background of carbon reaching peak, carbon neutralization, new requirements of green low carbon, energy conservation and emission reduction are provided for a power system, higher requirements are provided for the conductivity of a conductor material so as to reduce line loss in the transmission process, and meanwhile, the transmission line can inevitably contact corrosive media in the service process, particularly in coastal areas with larger salt content, heavy industrial areas and heavy pollution areas, and the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si) is directly related to the service life of the line.
However, in order to improve the strength of the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si), some other element is usually added to the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si), which results in a large amount of second phase particles in the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si), and electrochemical properties between the second phase particles and the aluminum alloy matrix are different, so that local micro-cells are easily formed during service, thereby generating pitting corrosion, resulting in poor corrosion resistance, and improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si) on the premise of ensuring the strength and conductivity of the aluminum alloy (Al-Mg-Si), which is important for long-distance and trans-regional power transmission.
The Chinese patent with publication number of CN 111500906A discloses a high-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof, wherein Mn, cu, zn, fe, cr, ni, V, ti, zr and multiple elements such as rare earth elements Gd, la and Eu are added into the aluminum alloy, and the addition proportion of the elements and Ni, V, ti, zr are optimized to be matched with the rare earth elements, so that the aluminum alloy can meet the requirement of high strength and simultaneously can meet the corrosion-resistant effect of the aluminum alloy. The Chinese patent with publication number of CN 112831700A discloses a high-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy for overhead lines and a preparation method thereof, wherein the aluminum alloy comprises the following components in percentage by mass: si:0.98-1.35%, mg:1.7-2.2%, cu:0.045-0.087%, fe: 0.04-0.11%, zn:0.01-0.037%, cr:0.1-0.16%, mn:0.47-0.53%, ti:0.01-0.05%, zr:0.1-0.15%, sn:0.04-0.09%, te+Sb: 0.013-0.025%, sc+Be:0.05-0.12%, ag+Sr+Y:0.2-0.8% and the balance of Al, and the aluminum alloy obtained by optimizing the content of each element has high strength, good toughness and excellent corrosion resistance, and can meet the use requirement of a contact net. Although the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy can be improved in both patents, the aluminum alloy with high-strength corrosion resistance is prepared by adding a large amount of complex elements, so that the smelting difficulty in the preparation process is high, and the corresponding preparation cost is relatively high.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the defects in the prior art, the invention aims to provide a method for improving corrosion damage resistance of a conductor aluminum alloy. The lifting method is simple, low in cost and universal for the 6xxx series Al-Mg-Si alloy.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

Further, the method for improving corrosion damage resistance of the conductor aluminum alloy specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) Preparing an Al-Si prefabricated alloy: placing an industrial pure aluminum ingot into a graphite clay crucible, heating to melt and raise the temperature to form an aluminum melt, adding Si into the aluminum melt for heat preservation, and then casting the aluminum melt after adding the Si into an iron mold to obtain an Al-Si prefabricated alloy ingot;
(2) Al-La intermediate alloy preparation: placing an industrial pure aluminum ingot into a graphite clay crucible, heating to melt and raise the temperature to form an aluminum melt, wrapping rare earth La with aluminum foil, adding the aluminum melt into the aluminum melt, preserving heat, and casting the aluminum melt added with the rare earth La into an iron mold to obtain an Al-La intermediate alloy;
(3) Placing industrial pure aluminum and Al-Si prefabricated alloy cast ingot into a graphite clay crucible, heating to melt and raise the temperature to obtain Al-Si alloy melt, wrapping pure Mg with aluminum foil, adding into the obtained Al-Si alloy melt, stirring to fully dissolve Mg, raising the temperature, and adding NaCl, KCl and Na 3 AlF 6 Refining and standing the mixture for 10-15min to form an aluminum alloy melt;
(4) Adding the Al-La intermediate alloy obtained in the step (2) into the aluminum alloy melt obtained in the step (3), preserving heat and stirring for 8-15min, then cooling to 700-720 ℃, adding 0.2-0.3% of Al-5Ti-1B refiner, blowing high-purity Ar gas into the aluminum alloy melt added with the Al-La intermediate alloy, and finally casting the aluminum alloy melt added with the Al-La intermediate alloy into a preheated iron mold to obtain a conductor aluminum alloy cast ingot;
(5) Heating the conductor aluminum alloy cast ingot obtained in the step (4) to a certain temperature for heat preservation treatment, and then carrying out water quenching treatment;
(6) And (3) heating the conductor aluminum alloy cast ingot after water quenching in the step (5) to a certain temperature for heat preservation, and then performing artificial aging treatment.
Further, the content of impurity oxygen elements in rare earth La of the Al-La intermediate alloy is less than 0.02wt.%, and the total content of rare earth La is more than 99.5wt.%.
Furthermore, the preparation of the Al-La intermediate alloy is carried out in a pure Ar inert gas atmosphere protection smelting furnace.
Further, before the Al-La intermediate alloy is added into the aluminum alloy melt, the hydrogen content in the aluminum alloy melt is less than 0.3mL/100g.
Further, the rare earth La content in the conductor aluminum alloy cast ingot is controlled to be 0.04-0.1 wt%.
Further, the temperature of the heating in the step (1) is 800-900 ℃.
Further, the temperature of the heating in the step (2) is 730-760 ℃; the heat preservation time of the rare earth La which is wrapped by aluminum foil and added into the aluminum melt is 10-30min.
Further, the temperature of the Al-Si alloy melt prepared in the step (3) is 700-720 ℃; the temperature of the Al-Si alloy melt after Mg is added is 750-770 ℃.
Further, the heating temperature in the step (5) is 520-550 ℃; the heating temperature in the step (6) is 175-215 ℃.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the positive and beneficial effects that:
(1) The second phase particles commonly found in Al-Mg-Si alloys are Si and Mg 2 Si phase, mg when contacting corrosive medium 2 The Mg element in the Si particles is preferentially dissolved, and the potential of the Al matrix is higher than that of Mg 2 The potential of Si particles, the potential difference between them accelerating Mg 2 The potential of the Al matrix is lower than that of the Si particles, the Al matrix at the edge of the Si particles is anodically dissolved, the local corrosion of the Al matrix extends to the long flaky Si particles along the grain boundary region to form deep and narrow corrosion pits, and after the Si particles are removed from the corrosion pits, the corrosion continuously develops along the grain boundary due to the self-catalytic effect in the deep and narrow corrosion pits, so that the grain boundary region is severely corroded. Due to the rare earth elements added in the inventionThe atomic radius (0.187 nm) of the element La is larger than that of Al (0.143 nm), si (0.134 nm) and Mg (0.160 nm), and the rare earth element La is arranged between the Al matrix and the Mg 2 The solubility in Si particles is low, so La atoms are repelled in Al matrix and Mg during solidification 2 An La-rich layer is formed in the interface area of Si particles and is wrapped on Mg 2 The surface of Si particles, thereby at Mg 2 The La-rich layer is formed on the surface of the Si particle, and because the potential of rare earth element La is lower, mg 2 The La-rich layer formed on the surface of the Si particles is preferentially dissolved in Mg 2 The local region near the Si particles releases high concentration of La 3+ La as corrosion inhibitor 3+ To react with water solution to generate La with protective effect 2 O 3 /La(OH) 3 Layer coated with Mg 2 Si particle surface, thereby hindering Mg 2 The Si particles are selectively dissolved, and meanwhile, the addition of trace La also prevents the growth of the Si particles, so that the Si particles are changed into a short rod-shaped structure from a long sheet-shaped structure, the continuous distribution of the Si particles at the grain boundary is broken, the fine and dispersed Si particles are formed, the corrosion is prevented from being rapidly expanded along the grain boundary region, and the lasting corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is further improved.
(2) According to the invention, when the Al-La intermediate alloy is prepared, the content of impurity oxygen element in the added rare earth element La is controlled to be less than 0.02 wt%, so that the content of harmful impurities in the Al-La intermediate alloy and the final aluminum alloy melt can be controlled, and the corrosion resistance of the final aluminum alloy melt is prevented from weakening due to excessive content of harmful impurities. If the content of the impurity oxygen element in the added rare earth element La is more than 0.02wt.% in the preparation of the Al-La intermediate alloy, on the one hand, a large amount of oxide is contained in the rare earth element La, and when the Al-La intermediate alloy is added into the aluminum alloy melt, the oxide is difficult to float up, impurities are easy to form in the aluminum alloy, and meanwhile, the impurity rare earth oxide La is introduced 2 O 3 So that the reaction is reversible La in (La) 2 O 3 The concentration of the rare earth oxides is increased, so that the reversible reaction moves leftwards, the deslagging effect of La element is reduced, the inclusion caused by the introduction of the rare earth oxides and incomplete deslagging is used as a leakage source, and the inclusion is used as a corrosion starting position in a corrosion medium, so that the occurrence of corrosion is accelerated; on the other hand, the added rare earth La forms rare earth oxide with oxygen element, and is used as modified Si and Mg after the Al-La master alloy is added into the aluminum alloy melt 2 The effective La element of Si particles is reduced, and the corresponding effect of improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is also weakened.
(3) The invention is to control the hydrogen content in the aluminum alloy melt to be less than 0.3mL/100g because the hydrogen element reacts with rare earth La to form La+2[H]→LaH 2 The Gibbs standard free energy of the alloy is negative in the smelting temperature range of the aluminum alloy and is more than deslagging reaction When the hydrogen content in the aluminum alloy melt is larger than 0.3mL/100g, the limited rare earth La changes the main effect into dehydrogenation after the Al-La intermediate alloy is added into the aluminum alloy melt, and the metamorphic Si and Mg cannot be exerted 2 The effect of the Si particles, and therefore the effect of the rare earth La on improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy, is impaired.
(4) The content of the added rare earth element La is controlled to be 0.04-0.1wt.%, because after the content of the added rare earth element La exceeds 0.10wt.%, laAlSi intermetallic compounds with tetragonal structures are formed in the structure after the aluminum alloy is solidified, the pitting potential of the aluminum alloy is reduced, and the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is gradually reduced; when the addition amount of the rare earth element La is less than 0.04wt.%, the rare earth element La mainly plays roles of removing hydrogen and slag in the aluminum alloy melt because the addition amount of the rare earth element La is too small, so that the rare earth element La cannot play roles of deteriorating Si and Mg 2 The effect of the Si particles, and correspondingly the effect of improving the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy, is also weakened.
(5) Compared with the rare earth aluminum alloy in the prior art, the rare earth aluminum alloy adopts the rare earth microalloying technology, trace rare earth elements (< 0.1 wt%) are added, the addition amount of rare earth is obviously reduced, and compared with the rare earth element Sc which is frequently added, the rare earth element La is added, so that the preparation cost of the aluminum alloy is reduced.
