Problems solved by technology

[0003] As the aluminum alloy sheet of the body cover, compared with the mature steel used in automobiles, there are still many problems to be solved in the performance of the aluminum alloy sheet, which also limits the application on the body
Especially in the process of storage and transportation in the warehouse after the solution treatment of the raw material factory, natural aging hardening will occur, which seriously affects the stamping ability of the downstream automobile factory and the improvement of the hardening ability after baking
For the adverse effects of natural aging, researchers and technicians have designed technical means including pre-aging treatment, pre-strain treatment, etc., all of which have a certain inhibitory effect, but all bring about a reduction in the hardening ability of the baking process.

preparation example Construction

[0034] A method for preparing an aluminum alloy for a vehicle body, comprising:

[0035] S1. Adjustment of content and ratio of main alloying elements, addition of microalloying elements.

[0036] According to the calculation and analysis of thermodynamic balance, the alloy composition is designed, the aluminum alloy raw material is smelted into a billet, and the sample is analyzed to control the chemical composition of the billet. The main alloying elements include: Mg: 0.7-1.2%, Si: 0.4-0.8%, Cu: 0.2- 0.9%, Zn: 1.5-3.0%, Fe: ≤0.5%, microalloying elements include: Sn: 0.02-0.06%, In: 0.02-0.06%, matrix elements include Al: balance.

[0037] S2. Homogenization treatment.

[0038] The homogenization treatment in this embodiment is a two-stage homogenization treatment. Specifically, the two-stage homogenization treatment is carried out in a resistance furnace, and the billet is kept at a primary heating temperature of 480-520 ° C for 2-4 hours to realize the solidification proces...

Embodiment 1

[0056] This embodiment provides a method for preparing an aluminum alloy for a vehicle body, which includes:

[0057] (1) According to the calculation and analysis of thermodynamic equilibrium, the alloy composition is designed, the aluminum alloy raw material is smelted into a billet, and the sample is analyzed to control the chemical composition of the billet. The main alloying elements include: Mg: 0.8%, Si: 0.6%, Cu : 0.25%, Zn: 1.6%, Fe: 0.45%, Sn: 0.03, In: 0.03, and the balance of Al.

Abstract

The invention provides an aluminum alloy for an automobile body and a preparing method of the aluminum alloy and relates to the technical field of component design and heat treatment of aluminum alloys used for covering parts of automobile bodies. The aluminum alloy for the automobile body comprises, by weight percent, 0.7%-1.2% of Mg, 0.4%-0.8% of Si, 0.2%-0.9% of Cu, 1.5%-3.0% of Zn, smaller than or equal to 0.5% of Fe, 0.02%-0.06% of Sn, 0.02%-0.06% of In and the balance Al. Due to the fact that chemical components are limited and optimized, the aluminum alloy for the automobile body has higher room temperature stability, and therefore the baking varnish capability of the downstream part of the aluminum alloy for the automobile body can be obviously improved. In addition, the preparingmethod of the aluminum alloy for the automobile body includes the step that an aluminum alloy raw material is smelted into a blank, and the chemical components of the blank are controlled to meet theabove requirement. By means of the preparing method, the production process is shortened, the cost is reduced, and the preparing method is suitable for industrial application and popularization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composition design and heat treatment of an aluminum alloy for a vehicle body cover, in particular to an aluminum alloy for a vehicle body and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, while enjoying the convenience of life brought by the rapid development of science and technology, people are also facing the impact of global warming and energy crisis. This has made related industries put forward requirements for the automotive industry to reduce energy consumption, low-carbon environmental protection and improve efficiency. In the Chinese version of the "Industry 4.0" Plan - Made in China 2025 issued by the State Council, "energy saving and new energy vehicles" is proposed as a key development area. By 2025, the overall fuel consumption of new passenger cars will be reduced to 4L per 100 kilometers. about. Automobile lightweight has become one of the most effective me...
