Description
本発明は携帯電話やノート型パーソナルコンピューター等に利用されるリチウムイオン電池ケース蓋用として好適な加工性とレーザ溶接性に優れたアルミニウム合金板に関する。 The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy plate excellent in workability and laser weldability suitable for a lithium ion battery case cover used in a mobile phone, a notebook personal computer or the like.
携帯電話やノート型パーソナルコンピューターに組み込まれる部品は軽量であることが強く望まれており、このためリチウムイオン電池ケース材には鋼板やステンレス鋼板に代わってＡｌ−Ｍｎ系のＡ３００３アルミニウム合金板が使われ始めている。 It is strongly desired that the parts incorporated in mobile phones and notebook personal computers be lightweight. For this reason, Al-Mn A3003 aluminum alloy plates are used for lithium ion battery case materials instead of steel plates and stainless steel plates. I'm starting to break.
複数の工程の絞りおよびしごき加工を組み合わせて成型される角形電池ケースにおいて、Ａｌ−Ｍｎ系のＡ３００３アルミニウム合金は光沢のある美しい表面状態を維持しながらケースの薄肉化が可能な素材である。薄肉化は内容積の増加に直結し、電池特性の高容量化を図る重要な要素であり、角形電池ケースはレーザ溶接技術を用いて純アルミニウム合金であるＡ１０５０合金蓋材で封口される。 In a rectangular battery case formed by combining a plurality of processes of drawing and ironing, the Al-Mn-based A3003 aluminum alloy is a material that can be thinned while maintaining a glossy and beautiful surface state. Thinning is an important factor for directly increasing the internal volume and increasing the battery characteristics, and the rectangular battery case is sealed with an A1050 alloy cover material, which is a pure aluminum alloy, using a laser welding technique.
しかしながら、充放電を繰り返すリチウムイオン電池はその反応時に内部圧力が上昇するとともに温度も上昇し、この状態下のアルミニウム合金板材はクリープ変形し、結果として電池ケースの厚みが増加するという問題があり、その厚み変形量が大きい場合には、機器への影響（故障、破損など）が懸念される。 However, the lithium ion battery that repeats charging and discharging has a problem that the internal pressure rises during the reaction and the temperature rises, and the aluminum alloy sheet under this state creeps, resulting in an increase in the thickness of the battery case. When the thickness deformation amount is large, there is a concern about the influence (failure, breakage, etc.) on the device.
また、蓋材に用いられる純アルミニウム合金はＡ３００３合金系と比べると熱伝導性が高く、レーザ溶接性の観点からは溶け込みが浅くなる傾向にあるため好ましくない。所定の溶け込み深さを得るためにレーザ溶接出力を上げることも可能であるが、入熱エネルギーが増すことにより電池ケース内部構造体にダメージを与えることが懸念される。電池ケース蓋材には電池内部の圧力上昇を緩和する目的で局所的に板厚を薄く（約２０μｍ）する防爆機能が付与されている。 Further, a pure aluminum alloy used for the lid member is not preferable because it has higher thermal conductivity than the A3003 alloy system and tends to become shallower from the viewpoint of laser weldability. Although it is possible to increase the laser welding output in order to obtain a predetermined penetration depth, there is a concern that the internal structure of the battery case may be damaged due to an increase in heat input energy. The battery case cover material is provided with an explosion-proof function to locally reduce the thickness (about 20 μm) for the purpose of alleviating the pressure increase inside the battery.
近年、リチウムイオン電池には一層の高容量化が求められ、電池ケースの外形寸法を大きくすることなく内容積を増やすことが課題となっている。このため素材はさらに薄肉化する必要があるが、薄肉化するとクリープ変形が起こり易くなるため、クリープ変形し難い電池ケース用アルミニウム合金板材が望まれている。 In recent years, a further increase in capacity has been demanded for lithium ion batteries, and it has become a problem to increase the internal volume without increasing the outer dimensions of the battery case. For this reason, it is necessary to further reduce the thickness of the material. However, since the creep deformation is likely to occur when the thickness is reduced, an aluminum alloy plate material for a battery case that is difficult to creep is desired.
角形電池ケース用素材には、飲料缶成形で実施されている絞り−しごき加工よりもさらに厳しい成形性が求められ、レーザ溶接性についても実用上問題のないことも重要な要素となる。このような特性を満足する材料として、例えば、Ｍｎ １〜１．５％、Ｍｇ ０．３〜０．８％、Ｃｕ ０．３〜０．６％、Ｓｉ ０．０５〜０．２５％、Ｆｅ ０．２〜０．５％を含有し、残部Ａｌおよび不可避的不純物からなるアルミニウム合金板が提案されている（特許文献１参照）。また、成形性を考慮して、Ｍｎ ０．３〜１．５％、Ｆｅ １．０〜１．８％を含有し、残部Ａｌおよび不可避的不純物からなるアルミニウム合金板も提案されている（特許文献２参照） The material for the prismatic battery case is required to have stricter formability than the drawing-ironing process performed in beverage can molding, and it is an important factor that there is no practical problem with laser weldability. As materials satisfying such characteristics, for example, Mn 1 to 1.5%, Mg 0.3 to 0.8%, Cu 0.3 to 0.6%, Si 0.05 to 0.25%, An aluminum alloy sheet containing 0.2 to 0.5% Fe and the balance being Al and inevitable impurities has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). In consideration of formability, an aluminum alloy plate containing 0.3 to 1.5% Mn and 1.0 to 1.8% Fe and the balance Al and inevitable impurities has also been proposed (patents). Reference 2)
電池ケース蓋材に上記の材料を用いれば、レーザ溶接性の観点からは有利になると考えられるが、材料強度が純アルミニウム系合金より高くなるため、防爆機能を付与する成形が困難となる。また、上記のＦｅ、Ｍｎを多く含む合金系では粗大な金属間化合物が鋳造時に形成し易くなり、防爆機能を付与する成形加工部にこのような粗大金属間化合物が存在すると亀裂発生の起点となり好ましくない。 If the above materials are used for the battery case cover material, it is considered advantageous from the viewpoint of laser weldability, but the material strength is higher than that of a pure aluminum alloy, so that it is difficult to form an explosion-proof function. In addition, in the above alloy system containing a large amount of Fe and Mn, coarse intermetallic compounds are easily formed at the time of casting, and if such coarse intermetallic compounds are present in the molded part that provides an explosion-proof function, it becomes a starting point for cracking. It is not preferable.
Ｍｎ ０．４〜０．６％、Ｆｅ １．１５〜１．３５％を主成分とする電池ケース用アルミニウム合金板も提案され、防爆機能に優れた特性が示されているが、レーザ溶接性に関しては具体的な特性が不明であり、上記提案のアルミニウム合金板はいずれも、リチウムイオン電池ケース蓋用材料としては必ずしも満足すべき特性をそなえていない。
発明者らは、レーザ溶接性を向上させるためのアルミニウム材料の組織について試験、検討を重ねた結果として、Ｆｅを含む金属間化合物の存在が、レーザ溶接時の溶け込み深さを向上させるよう機能することを見出した。その理由を解明した結果、これらの金属間化合物が多数分散することで、レーザ溶接機で利用されるＹＡＧレーザ光の吸収率が高まり、吸収された光が熱エネルギーとなって材料を溶融させるためであることが判った。 As a result of repeated examination and examination of the structure of an aluminum material for improving laser weldability, the inventors function to improve the penetration depth during laser welding by the presence of an intermetallic compound containing Fe. I found out. As a result of elucidating the reason, the dispersion of a large number of these intermetallic compounds increases the absorption rate of YAG laser light used in laser welding machines, and the absorbed light becomes thermal energy to melt the material. It turned out that.
本発明は、上記の知見をベースとしてなされたものであり、その目的は、純アルミニウム系合金のような加工性と適度な低強度をそなえるとともに、優れたレーザ溶接性能を有し、低出力でも良好な溶融状態を得ることができるレーザ溶接性に優れた電池ケース蓋用アルミニウム合金板材を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made on the basis of the above knowledge, and its purpose is to provide workability like a pure aluminum alloy and moderately low strength, as well as excellent laser welding performance and low output. An object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy plate material for a battery case lid which can obtain a good molten state and is excellent in laser weldability.

本発明によれば、レーザ溶接時、同じ入熱で従来材の純アルミニウム系合金板材より深い溶け込みが得られ、特に角形リチウムイオン電池ケース蓋材として好適に使用できるレーザ溶接性に優れたアルミニウム合金板が提供される。 According to the present invention, during laser welding, an aluminum alloy having a deeper penetration than that of a pure aluminum alloy plate of the conventional material can be obtained with the same heat input, and particularly suitable for use as a prismatic lithium ion battery case cover. A board is provided.
本発明による電池ケース蓋用アルミニウム合金板における合金成分の意義およびその限定理由について説明する。
Ｆｅ：Ｆｅは、前記のように、金属間化合物として存在する状態で、レーザ溶接時の溶け込み深さを向上させるように機能する。Ｆｅ含有量が１．４％未満では溶け込み深さが十分ではなく、接合強度が低下するため好ましくない。２．０％を超えて含有すると、鋳造時に１００μｍ以上の晶出物（金属間化合物）を形成し、製品板の状態でも１５μｍ以上の化合物として存在することになり、防爆機能を付与する成形加工部にそれらの粗大な金属間化合物が存在すると亀裂発生の起点となる。Ｆｅのさらに好ましい含有量は１．５〜１．７％である。
The significance of the alloy components in the aluminum alloy plate for battery case lid according to the present invention and the reason for limitation thereof will be described.
Fe: Fe functions as described above to improve the penetration depth during laser welding in a state where it exists as an intermetallic compound. If the Fe content is less than 1.4%, the penetration depth is not sufficient, and the bonding strength is lowered, which is not preferable. When the content exceeds 2.0%, a crystallized product (intermetallic compound) of 100 μm or more is formed at the time of casting, and it exists as a compound of 15 μm or more even in the state of the product plate, and molding processing that gives an explosion-proof function. If these coarse intermetallic compounds are present in the part, cracks will start. The more preferable content of Fe is 1.5 to 1.7%.
Ｍｎ：ＭｎもＡｌやＦｅと結合して金属間化合物を形成し、レーザ溶接時の溶け込み深さを向上させるように機能する。その含有量が０．０５％未満ではその効果が十分ではなく、０．３％を超えて含有すると、鋳造時に１００μｍ以上の巨大なＡｌ−Ｆｅ−Ｍｎ系の金属間化合物が形成され易くなり、成形性を低下させる。 Mn: Mn also combines with Al and Fe to form an intermetallic compound, and functions to improve the penetration depth during laser welding. If the content is less than 0.05%, the effect is not sufficient, and if it exceeds 0.3%, a huge Al-Fe-Mn-based intermetallic compound of 100 μm or more is easily formed during casting, Reduces moldability.
Ｓｉ：Ｓｉは不純物として混入するが、その含有量が０．３％を超えると、強度が高くなって成形性が低下し易くなるため、０．３％以下に規制することが望ましい。Ｓｉ量を低減することは高純度のアルミニウム地金を使用することになり、製造コストを上昇させるので、０．０５〜０．１５％の範囲とするのが好ましい。 Si: Si is mixed as an impurity, but if its content exceeds 0.3%, the strength becomes high and the moldability tends to deteriorate, so it is desirable to regulate it to 0.3% or less. Reducing the amount of Si uses a high-purity aluminum ingot and increases the manufacturing cost, so it is preferable that the Si content be in the range of 0.05 to 0.15%.
Ｃｕ、Ｍｇ：Ｃｕ、Ｍｇはレーザ溶接の際に蒸発し易くヒュームの発生を誘発し、溶接不良の原因となる。そのためＣｕ：０．２％以下、Ｍｇ：０．２％以下に制御することが望ましい。 Cu, Mg: Cu and Mg easily evaporate during laser welding and induce the generation of fumes, which causes poor welding. Therefore, it is desirable to control Cu: 0.2% or less and Mg: 0.2% or less.
Ｚｒ、Ｃｒ：ＺｒおよびＣｒは、再結晶組織を微細化して成形加工性を高めるために有効な元素である。また、溶接割れを抑制する作用もある。好ましい含有量はＺｒ：０．０１〜０．２％、Ｃｒ：０．０１〜０．２％の範囲であり、それぞれ下限未満では上記の効果が十分ではなく、それぞれ上限を超えると粗大な金属間化合物を形成し易くなり、成形性が低下する。 Zr, Cr: Zr and Cr are effective elements for refining the recrystallized structure and improving the moldability. It also has the effect of suppressing weld cracking. The preferred contents are in the range of Zr: 0.01 to 0.2% and Cr: 0.01 to 0.2%. If the content is less than the lower limit, the above effect is not sufficient. It becomes easy to form an intermetallic compound, and moldability falls.
Ｔｉ、Ｂ：鋳塊組織を微細化して、製品板の成形性を高位安定化するよう作用するので、Ｔｉは０．０１％以上０．２％以下、Ｂは５ｐｐｍ以上１００ｐｐｍ以下の範囲で１種または２種を含有させることができる。 Ti, B: Since the ingot structure is refined to act to stabilize the formability of the product plate at a high level, Ti is 0.01% or more and 0.2% or less, and B is 5 ppm or more and 100 ppm or less. Species or two can be included.
金属間化合物分散状態：前記のように、Ｆｅを含む金属間化合物の分散状態がレーザ溶接性に大きく影響し、この金属間化合物が光学顕微鏡で観察される状態で、サイズが２〜５μｍの金属間化合物が１００００μｍ２当たり４０個以上存在する場合、レーザ溶接時の溶け込みが格段に深くなる。これは前記のように金属間化合物によってレーザ吸収率が上がるためで、さらに金属間化合物とマトリックスの界面には添加元素や不純物が偏析しやすく融点が低くなることも溶け込みが深くなる理由である。 Dispersion state of intermetallic compound: As described above, the dispersion state of the intermetallic compound containing Fe greatly affects laser weldability, and this intermetallic compound is observed with an optical microscope. When there are 40 or more intermetallic compounds per 10,000 μm 2 , the penetration during laser welding becomes significantly deeper. This is because the laser absorptance is increased by the intermetallic compound as described above, and further, the additive element and impurities are likely to segregate at the interface between the intermetallic compound and the matrix, and the melting point is lowered, which is the reason why the penetration becomes deeper.
２μｍより小さな化合物が存在してもレーザ溶接性を低下させないが、光学顕微鏡でその分散状態を正確に把握することが難しく、２〜５μｍの範囲の分散状態を正確に区別することでレーザ溶接性の優劣を判断できる。５μｍを超える金属間化合物は、レーザ溶接性への影響が小さい。また１５μｍを超える粗大金属間化合物は防爆機能を付与する成形加工部（約２０μｍの厚さ）の加工において亀裂発生の起点となり、金属間化合物近くで割れが発生し易くなるため、粗大金属間化合物の形成を抑制することが必要である。２〜５μｍの金属間化合物が１００００μｍ２当たり４０個未満では十分な効果が得難い。個数の上限は特に規定しないが、組成と製造工程により自ずから上限が決まり、実際には７０〜１００個程度が上限となる。 Even if a compound smaller than 2 μm is present, the laser weldability is not deteriorated, but it is difficult to accurately grasp the dispersion state with an optical microscope, and the laser weldability is accurately distinguished from the dispersion state in the range of 2 to 5 μm. Can be judged. Intermetallic compounds exceeding 5 μm have a small effect on laser weldability. In addition, coarse intermetallic compounds exceeding 15 μm are the starting point for cracks in the processing of molded parts (thickness of about 20 μm) that provide an explosion-proof function, and cracks tend to occur near the intermetallic compounds. It is necessary to suppress the formation of. If the number of intermetallic compounds of 2 to 5 μm is less than 40 per 10,000 μm 2, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient effect. The upper limit of the number is not particularly defined, but the upper limit is determined by the composition and the manufacturing process, and the upper limit is actually about 70 to 100.
本発明の電池ケース蓋用アルミニウム合金板材は、造塊された鋳塊を常法に従って均質化処理、熱間圧延を行い、必要に応じて中間熱処理を行った後、最終板厚まで冷間圧延を行い、所定の熱処理を施して使用に供する。電池ケース蓋材としては、成形性や防爆機能を考慮し、軟化材（Ｏ材）として使用することが望ましい。２〜５μｍの金属間化合物を１００００μｍ２あたり４０個以上存在させるためには、均質化処理を５５０〜６２０℃の温度範囲で２ｈ以上保持する条件で行い、熱間圧延の圧延加工度を９０％以上、さらに冷間圧延の圧延加工度を５０％以上とすることが好ましい。 The aluminum alloy sheet material for the battery case lid of the present invention is obtained by homogenizing and hot rolling the ingot ingot according to a conventional method, performing an intermediate heat treatment as necessary, and then cold rolling to the final sheet thickness. Then, it is subjected to a predetermined heat treatment for use. The battery case cover material is preferably used as a softening material (O material) in consideration of moldability and explosion-proof function. In order to allow 40 or more intermetallic compounds of 2 to 5 μm to exist per 10,000 μm 2 , the homogenization treatment is performed under the condition of maintaining at a temperature range of 550 to 620 ° C. for 2 hours or more, and the rolling degree of hot rolling is 90%. As described above, it is preferable that the rolling degree of cold rolling be 50% or more.

As an index of formability, those having a tensile strength of less than 130 MPa were accepted, and those having a tensile strength of 130 MPa or more were rejected because of poor workability.
ミクロ組織：試験材のミクロ組織を光学顕微鏡で観察し、画像解析装置を用いて、サイズが２〜５μｍの範囲の金属間化合物を測定し、１００００μｍ２当たりの個数を求めた。また、１５μｍを超える粗大金属間化合物も測定して、成形性の指標とし、１５μｍを超える粗大金属間化合物が１個でも観察されたものは不合格とした。 Microstructure: The microstructure of the test material was observed with an optical microscope, an intermetallic compound having a size in the range of 2 to 5 μm was measured using an image analyzer, and the number per 10,000 μm 2 was determined. Moreover, the coarse intermetallic compound exceeding 15 micrometers was also measured, and it was set as the parameter | index of a moldability, and the thing in which even one coarse intermetallic compound exceeding 15 micrometers was observed was disqualified.

In the measurement, five cross sections were observed at intervals of 2 cm, and the average value of the maximum penetration depth was calculated. A penetration depth of 200 μm or more was determined to be acceptable, and a depth of less than 200 μm was determined to be unacceptable as poor welding.

It was. There were 40 or more intermetallic compounds having a size of 2 to 5 μm per 10,000 μm 2 , and no intermetallic compounds of 15 μm or more were present. Further, a penetration depth of 200 μm or more was obtained after laser welding.
