Problems solved by technology

However, under ordinary production conditions, the zinc-aluminum-zirconium master alloy has a limited effect on the grain refinement of primary α-Al, and the final primary α-Al grain morphology is still petal-like with branches and the grain size Still up to tens of microns, and the grain refinement effect will be further weakened when the pouring temperature increases

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for obtaining fine primary alpha-Al equiaxed grains in a zinc-aluminum alloy. The method comprises the steps of melting the zinc-aluminum alloy to 100-200 DEG C above the liquidus line so as to obtain a zinc-aluminum alloy melt; simultaneously adding zirconium, cerium and magnesium elements into the zinc-aluminum alloy melt, continuously keeping the temperature for 8-20 minutes and carrying out efficient stirring to enable the zirconium, cerium and magnesium elements to be uniformly distributed in the zinc-aluminum alloy melt so as to obtain the final alloy melt; and pouring the final alloy melt into a mold, and carrying out cooling so as to obtain the zinc-aluminum alloy containing the fine primary alpha-Al equiaxed grains. The method has the advantage that the obtained fine unramified spherical or polyhedral alpha-Al axial grains can generate the advantageous effect on the optimization, the casting processing performance and the use performance of the structure of the zinc-aluminum alloy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy materials, and relates to the solidification process control and grain refinement treatment of zinc-aluminum alloys, in particular to a method for obtaining spherical or polyhedral fine primary α-Al equiaxed grains in zinc-aluminum alloys. Background technique [0002] Metal grains in metal or alloy castings mainly exist in the following three forms: branched dendritic grains, spherical or polyhedral unbranched equiaxed grains (hereinafter referred to as equiaxed grains) and two-dimensionally long columnar grains. Among them, equiaxed grains are most beneficial to obtain ideal metal or alloy structure and properties, and measures are often taken in production to suppress the formation of dendrite grains and columnar grains as much as possible, so as to transform them into equiaxed grains. The finer the grain size, the more conducive to the improvement of alloy casting process performance and mechan...
