Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of aluminum alloys for bicycles, in particular to aluminum alloys for bicycle frame pipes and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aluminum alloy bicycles have the outstanding advantages of light weight and beautiful appearance, and their demand is expanding rapidly. At present, the aluminum alloy pipe materials used for bicycles mainly include three kinds of aluminum alloys such as 6061, 6063 and 6082. The main alloying elements of these alloys are magnesium and silicon, and by forming Mg 2 The Si phase achieves dispersion strengthening. Where silicon is removed to form Mg 2 In addition to the Si phase, there is generally a certain excess, that is, the mass ratio of magnesium to silicon Mg / Si<1.73. Its tensile strength is generally 230-310MPa, and increases with the increase of excess silicon, and can reach up to 310MPa after heat treatment. The solid solution speed of magnesium and sil...
