DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] To make the technical problems to be resolved by the present disclosure, technical solutions, and beneficial effects more comprehensible, the following further describes the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used for explaining the present disclosure instead of limiting the present disclosure.

[0025] According to an aspect, the present disclosure provides an aluminum alloy. In percentage by mass, the aluminum alloy includes: 8-11% of Si, 2-3% of Cu, 0.7-1.1% of Mg, 0.7-1.5% of Mn, 0.01-0.015% of Sr, 0.01-0.015% of Cr, 0-0.4% of Fe, 0.02-0.1% of Ti, 0.01-0.02% of Ga, 0.004-0.02% of B, 0-2% of Zn, and the balance of Al and less than 0.1% of other elements.

[0026] By adjusting proportions of all strengthening elements in the aluminum alloy, the aluminum alloy provided in the present disclosure has high yield strength and thermal conductivity, and ensures good elongation without sacrificing the strength. For the aluminum alloy in the present disclosure, the yield strength is about 240-260 MPa (for example, 240 MPa, 242 MPa, 245 MPa, 248 MPa, 250 MPa, 251 MPa, 253 MPa, 255 MPa, 258 MPa, or 260 MPa), the tensile strength is about 380-410 MPa (for example, 380 MPa, 385 MPa, 390 MPa, 395 MPa, 400 MPa, 405 MPa, or 410 MPa), the elongation is about 3-6% (for example, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, or 6%), and the thermal conductivity is about 130-142 W/(k.Math.m) (for example, 130 W/(k.Math.m), 132 W/(k.Math.m), 135 W/(k.Math.m), 138 W/(k.Math.m), 140 W/(k.Math.m), or 142 W/(k.Math.m)). In addition, the aluminum alloy material has low process requirements, and has good process adaptability in die casting.

[0027] In some embodiments, in percentage by mass, the aluminum alloy includes: 9-10.8% of Si, 2.5-2.8% of Cu, 0.7-1.1% of Mg, 0.9-1.3% of Mn, 0.01-0.015% of Sr, 0.01-0.015% of Cr, 0-0.4% of Fe, 0.03-0.1% of Ti, 0.01-0.015% of Ga, 0.004-0.01% of B, 0-2% of Zn, and the balance of Al and less than 0.1% of other elements.

[0028] In some other embodiments, the aluminum alloy is composed of the following components in percentage by mass: 9-10.8% of Si, 2.5-2.8% of Cu, 0.7-1.1% of Mg, 0.9-1.3% of Mn, 0.01-0.015% of Sr, 0.01-0.015% of Cr, 0-0.4% of Fe, 0.03-0.1% of Ti, 0.01-0.015% of Ga, 0.004-0.01% of B, 0-2% of Zn, and the balance of Al.

[0029] In some embodiments, the content of Si is 9%, 9.8%, 10%, 10.5%, or 10.8%, the content of Cu is 2.5%, 2.6%, or 2.8%, the content of Mg is 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, or 1.1%, the content of Mn is 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, or 1.3%, the content of Sr is 0.01%, 0.013%, 0.015%, or 0.02%, the content of Cr is 0.01%, 0.013%, or 0.015%, the content of Fe is 0, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, or 0.4%, the content of Ti is 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05%, or 0.06%, the content of Ga is 0.01%, 0.013%, or 0.015%, the content of B is 0.004%, 0.005%, 0.006%, 0.007%, or 0.008%, and the content of Zn is 0, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.3%, 1.7%, or 2%.

[0030] In the materials involved in the present disclosure, Si and Al form eutectic Si and primary Si. Dispersed primary Si and fine α-Al grains are formed under the effect of Sr, increasing the strength and fluidity of the aluminum alloy.

[0031] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, Cu is solubilized into Al to form a solid solution phase, and precipitated Al.sub.2Cu strengthening phase is dispersed on the grain boundary.

[0032] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, with the increase of Mg content, the yield strength increases and the elongation decreases gradually. When the Mg content is more than 0.7%, a dispersion strengthening phase (with a particle size below 10 μm) mainly composed of Al.sub.2Cu is precipitated. With the increase of the Mg content, the area occupied by this phase in the aluminum alloy gradually increases. When the Mg content is more than 1.1%, the grains of this phase in the aluminum alloy will increase sharply, and the elongation will decrease greatly.

[0033] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, Mn and Cr are solubilized into the aluminum alloy matrix to inhibit the grain growth of primary Si and α-Al, so that the primary Si is dispersed among grains.

[0034] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, Ti and B are dispersed among the grains, so that primary Si can uniformly distribute into α-Al, which greatly inhibits the growth of α-Al (the particle size of α-Al is reduced by one-third compared with that in the aluminum alloy without the addition of Ti and B).

[0035] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, an excessively high content of Zn is easily solubilized into the aluminum alloy, thereby affecting the solubilization of Cu, Mn, and Mg, which will affect the precipitated second phase and greatly change the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy.

[0036] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, an excessively high content of Fe will make the aluminum alloy brittle and thus affect the elongation of the aluminum alloy.

[0037] The mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and elongation of the aluminum alloy are the result of the combined effect of the foregoing elements. Any element that deviates from the scope provided by the present disclosure deviates from the disclosure intent of the present disclosure, resulting in a reduction in mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, or elongation of the aluminum alloy, thereby detrimental to the use of the aluminum alloy as a die-casting material.

[0038] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mass ratio of Ti to B is (5-10):1, for example 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, or 10:1. It was found through further experiments that Ti and B in this ratio ensure the high strength and thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. The reason is that Ti within this content range is uniformly distributed around the eutectic Si, increasing the strength of the aluminum alloy, and the addition of B in this ratio ensures the high strength with good thermal conductivity.

[0039] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the content of Ga in percentage by mass is greater than the content of Sr in percentage by mass.

[0040] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the content of Si and the content of Cu satisfy the following condition: Wt(Si)=(Wt(Cu)−0.2)×(3−5). Under this condition, the formed eutectic Si and Al.sub.2Cu inhibit the growth of the α-Al grains, which become small in diameter.

[0041] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the content of Mn and the content of Cu satisfy the following condition: Wt(Cu)=(Wt(Mn)−0.3)×(2.5−4). Under this condition, through the induction of Ti—B, Si, Cu, and Mn form a new spherical Si.sub.7Mn.sub.6Cu phase uniformly distributed at the grain boundary, greatly increasing the strength and elongation of the aluminum alloy.

[0042] Under the foregoing conditions, a high-strength a solid solution is formed in the aluminum alloy. In this case, Ti, Ga, and B form a fine strengthening phase evenly distributed between the eutectic Si and a solid solution, which greatly increases the yield strength of the aluminum alloy while ensuring the elongation of the aluminum alloy.

[0043] According to the aluminum alloy in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the other elements include one or more of Zr, Ni, Ce, Sc, and Er. Zr, Ni, Ce, Sc, and Er are harmful elements that need to be reduced as impurities from the aluminum alloy as much as possible. In some specific embodiments, the aluminum alloy does not include the other elements.

[0044] For example, as an impurity element, the solubilization of Ni into a solid solution of the alloy will have a greater impact on Cu, Mn, and Mg, resulting in severe segregation, thereby making the aluminum alloy brittle. Zr, Ce, Er, and Sc form a second phase that cannot be solubilized in the aluminum alloy, so that the distribution of composition of the aluminum alloy is uneven, making the aluminum alloy brittle.

[0045] According to another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing the foregoing aluminum alloy. The method includes the following steps: weighing out various raw materials in required proportions based on proportions of all elements in the aluminum alloy, melting the raw materials in a melting furnace to obtain a molten metal, and subjecting the molten metal to slag removal and refining and degassing, and then casting, to obtain an aluminum alloy ingot. The raw materials include an Al-containing material, a Si-containing material, a Mg-containing material, a Fe-containing material, a Sr-containing material, a Ti-containing material, a B-containing material, a Cu-containing material, a Mn-containing material, a Ga-containing material, a Cr-containing material, and a Zn-containing material. The raw materials are selected from alloys or elements containing the foregoing elements.

[0046] In some embodiments, the slag removal includes adding a slag remover into the molten metal, the slag remover including one or more of an aluminum alloy slag remover agent NF-1 and an aluminum alloy slag-removal agent DSG.

[0047] In some embodiments, the refining is carried out at 700-710° C. (specifically 700° C., 701° C., 702° C., 703° C., 704° C., 705° C., 706° C., 707° C., 708° C., 709° C., or 710° C.). The refining includes adding a refining agent into the molten metal and stirring. The refining agent includes one or more of hexafluoroethane and an aluminum refining agent ZS-AJ01C.

[0048] According to the method in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method further includes die casting the aluminum alloy ingot for formation.

[0049] In some embodiments, the casting is carried out at 680-720° C. (for example 680° C., 690° C., 700° C., 710° C., or 720° C.).

[0050] In some embodiments, artificial aging is carried out on the die-cast aluminum alloy at 100-200° C. (for example 100° C., 110° C., 120° C., 130° C., 140° C., 150° C., 160° C., 170° C., 180° C., 190° C., or 200° C.) for 1.5-3 h (for example 1.5 h, 2 h, 2.5 h, or 3 h).

[0051] The aluminum alloy is precipitation-hardened by the artificial aging, and the precipitation hardening effect can be observed by testing the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. The precipitation of Al.sub.2Cu phase is accelerated at 100-200° C., increasing the strength of the grain boundary, thereby increasing the strength and hardness of the alloy.

[0052] The present disclosure is further described through the following examples.
