Problems solved by technology

Again, some studies have found that for Al-Si alloys, when Sr, Ti, and B exist in the melt at the same time, it is easy to form SrB 6 and TiB 2 Particles, the density of these two kinds of particles is much higher than that of molten aluminum, and they are prone to deposition, resulting in accelerated deterioration and refinement decline.
[0007] To sum up, the grain refinement and modification methods for the industrial production of hypoeutectic and eutectic Al-Si alloy ingots are still immature, and it is difficult to simultaneously obtain fine α-Al equiaxed grain structure and fine fibrous grain structure. eutectic structure

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for modification and refinement of a hypoeutectic and eutectic Al-Si alloy. The hypoeutectic and eutectic Al-Si alloy with the Si content of 2-13.5 wt.% is subjected to modification and refinement treatment with Sr and B; after treatment, the Sr content in an alloy melt is 0.005-0.1%, the B content is 0.005-0.1%, and the mass ratio of Sr to B is 0.3-5. An Al-B intermediate alloy is used as a refiner, and has excellent grain refining effect on the Al-Si alloy; an Al-Sr intermediate alloy is used as a modifier, can effectively modify eutectic Si in the Al-Si alloy. By controlling melting, modification and refinement treatment processes, the grain refiner also has good refinement effect on alpha-Al while the added modifier has good modification effect on the eutectic Si, so that an ingot microstructure is simultaneously modified and refined, and a mutual poisoning effect between Sr and B can be effectively avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for modifying and refining treatment of hypoeutectic and eutectic aluminum-silicon alloy ingots, and belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy smelting and casting. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-silicon alloys have the advantages of light weight, high strength, high wear resistance, high heat resistance, and excellent volume stability, and are widely used in machinery, automobiles, and other fields. [0003] The typical structure of aluminum-silicon alloy includes α-Al, primary silicon, eutectic silicon and a small amount of alloy phase. Among them, primary silicon and eutectic silicon are brittle phases, and their shape, size and distribution are the main factors affecting the mechanical properties of the alloy. In the unmodified aluminum-silicon alloy, the primary silicon is distributed in coarse irregular blocks, and the eutectic silicon is in the shape of elongated needles. Under load, the tip and...
