Technical field
The invention belongs to aluminum alloy materials technical field, it is related to a kind of high Zn pack alloy and preparation method thereof.
Background technique
Aluminium alloy has extensively due to the advantages that specific strength is high, and thermal diffusivity is good in Aeronautics and Astronautics, weapons and electronics industry
General application.In recent years, the integration of components and the lightweight of product quality are industrially increasingly pursued.Originally by several castings
The component that part, forging and machining are constituted is changed to the casting of an entirety, these casting often have that structure is complicated, internal more
The features such as chamber, boss, unexpected thin and thick section transition, and wall thickness is less than 4mm, is locally even less than 2mm.Therefore, these aluminium alloys
Thin-wall part is difficult to realize by way of machining, and aluminum alloy thin wall pieces generally use die-casting process one-pass molding in industry,
Processing cost is greatly reduced, production efficiency is improved.In general, pack alloy all has excellent casting fluidity.It influences
There are many factor of alloy liquid mobility, and in addition to external factor such as pouring technology and mould structures, material feature itself is to alloy
The influence of liquid flowing is clearly.In general, alloy crystallizing range is smaller, and casting fluidity is better.Therefore, there is eutectic
The alloy of ingredient generally has good casting fluidity near point.On the other hand, the alloy member of low melting point is added in the alloy
Low-alloyed fusing point drops in element, and the degree of superheat of identical pouring temperature, melt is bigger, to be conducive to improve the liquid flow of alloy
Dynamic property.Currently, the cast aluminium alloy gold that can be used for die casting has Al-Si system, Al-Cu system, Al-Mg system etc..Wherein, representative
Alloy is ADC12 alloy (the Japanese trade mark), and main chemical compositions include Si (9wt.%~13wt.%), Cu (1.5wt.%~
3.5wt.%).Silicone content is near eutectic point, and a large amount of eutectic structure makes ADC12 alloy strength higher, and tensile strength is reachable
To 228MPa, while ductility is poor, and elongation percentage is less than 3%.With the reduction of wall thickness, the bearing capacity of component sharply declines,
Existing pack alloy mechanical property has been unable to satisfy the requirement that component is on active service safely, therefore, researches and develops high performance die casting aluminium and closes
Gold is to solve the existing insufficient unique channel of pack alloy system mechanical property.

Specific embodiment
Below with reference to specific embodiment, the present invention is described in further detail, it is described be explanation of the invention and
It is not to limit.
The present invention is prepared for a kind of high Zn pack alloy, is closed by increasing the content of low-melting alloy element Zn to improve
The mobility of golden liquid.It can be seen that from Al-Zn binary phase diagraml when the content of Zn is more than 20wt.%, the fusing point of alloy is significant
It reduces.Therefore, the content of Zn element is improved to 20wt.% or more, is not needed addition silicon addition, can also be obtained good liquid
Liquid flowability.
The chemical component of high Zn pack alloy prepared by the present invention are as follows: the mass percent of Zn is 20%~40%,
Surplus is Al and inevitable impurity.Because of even rafifinal, absolutely purity is also not achieved, it will necessarily be containing few
The impurity of amount.
More preferably, aluminum substrate is strengthened by addition alloying element cu, reinforces the intensity of aluminium alloy, Fe element can be also added
To drop low-alloyed mucous membrane degree.Wherein, the mass percent that Cu element is added is 1.0%~4.0%, the copper of addition
Form is Al-Cu intermediate alloy;It is 0.6% that Fe element mass fraction, which is added, and the form that Fe element is added is closed among Al-Fe
Gold.
The preparation method of the alloy be pure Al is placed in smelting furnace be heated to 660~730 DEG C to melt, Xiang Rong
The pure metal Zn of regulation proportion is added in the metallic solution of change, continues stirring until whole fusings, temperature control is added to 700~730 DEG C
Appropriate refining agent is refined, and after standing 10~30min, is cast in metal die.
When needing that copper is added, after by pure Al fusing, pure zinc and Al-Cu intermediate alloy is added.
The refining agent is the mixture of magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and fluoride composition, or using single
Carbon trichloride, carbon tetrachloride or titanium tetrachloride.Use traditional refining agent can be with purified treatment aluminium alloy melt, refining agent tool
There are degasification, absorption Slag inclusion to float to the liquid level of aluminum solutions and form the ability of dry slag.Common refining agent is using chloride as base
Fluoride, such as CaF is added in plinth2、Na3AlF6。
The study found that typical dendrite morphology is presented in above-mentioned high Zn pack alloy microstructure, Fig. 1 is that the scanning of alloy is seen
Examine result.Figure (a-b) Oxford gray region is α~Al, and white area is α+η eutectic regions, due to the increase of the content of Zn, altogether
Crystalline region domain occupies very big ratio.It is further able to spectrum analysis discovery, a small amount of distribution of particles containing Cu is in eutectic regions.
