The invention discloses an
alloy ingot for an automotive hub and a production method thereof. The
alloy ingot comprises the following components: 6.8-7.2% of Si, 0.28-033% of Mg, 0.10-0.15% of Ti, 0.015-0.030% of Sr, less than or equal to 0.10% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.05% of Mn, less than 0.01% of
zinc, less than 0.01% of Cu, less than 0.003% of Ca, less than 0.002% of P, less than 0.02% of other single
impurity content, less than 0.1% of total
impurity content and the balance of aluminum. The production method of the
alloy ingot for the automotive hub comprises the following steps of: adding 3303 industrial metallic
silicon and electrolytic aluminum liquid for batching, heating at an appropriate temperature and melting, spreading a covering agent so as to reduce oxidation slagging, stirring so that the industrial metallic
silicon rapidly melts, keeping uniform temperature, slagging off, keeping melt clean, spraying
powder and refining by adopting high-purity N2 and a refined
powder spraying agent, controlling the temperature of a
smelting furnace to 740-750 DEG C, adding Al-Sr alloy to
aluminium water, carrying out secondary degassing and slagging-off by adopting a
powder spraying refinement method, filtering to remove
slag, and
casting the alloy ingot in line with requirements. The alloy ingot obtained by the method has the advantages of stable and uniform components, compact structure and clean surface; and the production method is the best production method for producing the A356.2 alloy ingot for the low-iron high-end automotive hub.
