Two, background technology
At present, the refinement of primary silicon mainly is to adopt the method for adding master alloy in eutectic and the hypereutectic aluminium-Si system alloy.Since the patent of last century the '30s Sterner and Rainer invention phosphorus refinement primary silicon, the research of phosphorous master alloy has obtained bigger progress, as copper-phosphorus, Solder for Al-Cu Joint Welding-phosphorus, aluminium-iron-phosphorus and aluminium-silicon-master alloys such as phosphorus.Copper-phosphorus master alloy density is bigger, easily precipitates segregation, and the modification effect instability is not suitable for leaving standstill stove production, and brings copper component to pollute.Solder for Al-Cu Joint Welding-phosphorus master alloy is rotten, thinning effect is comparatively stable, but its preparation cost height, fails the application that puts it in actual production.The use of aluminium-iron-phosphorus master alloy then can be introduced the impurity iron element in alloy.Application number is that 200510044827 Chinese patent has been reported a kind of novel master alloy that contains aluminium, silicon, phosphorus, contain a large amount of preformed AlP particles in this master alloy, it has good rotten, thinning effect, and has obtained aborning to apply.But three kinds of above-mentioned aluminium base master alloys, P all is present in the master alloy system with the AlP form, because AlP is easy to the oxidation with airborne water vapour reaction, hydrolysis, thereby causes the phosphorus content in the master alloy progressively to reduce in the preservation process.Therefore, press for a kind of new phosphorous aluminium base master alloy of invention in the production, when reaching good thinning effect, in melt, do not introduce other impurity elements, also be convenient to prolonged preservation and use.
Three, summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, a kind of aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus master alloy that can play efficient refinement to the primary silicon in eutectic and the hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy and significantly improve the alloy high-temp mechanical property is provided, provides simultaneously that a kind of production cost is low, technology is easy, be fit to the preparation method of suitability for industrialized production.
The present invention realizes in the following manner:
A kind of aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus master alloy is characterized in that: the mass percent of contained component is aluminium 78.0-94.0%, zirconium 3.0-20.0%, phosphorus 1.0-6.0%; P is present in the master alloy system with the ZrP form.And the ZrP particle in joining eutectic and hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloy melt after, the reaction of ZrP and molten aluminium generates AlP, for primary silicon provides heterogeneous core.Simultaneously, also introduce the Zr element thereupon, can significantly improve the mechanical behavior under high temperature of alloy.
The preparation method of above-mentioned a kind of aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus master alloy is characterized in that may further comprise the steps:
(1) at first is ready to prepare aluminum-zirconium-required raw material of phosphorus master alloy: zirconium sponge 3.0-20% or potassium fluozirconate 9.4-62.5% by following mass percent, aluminium-phosphorus master alloy 13.3-80.0%, surplus is commercial-purity aluminium, and wherein the phosphorus content of aluminium-phosphorus master alloy is 2.0-7.8%;
(2) in smelting furnace, commercial-purity aluminium is melted to 900 ℃-1300 ℃, adds aluminium-phosphorus master alloy earlier, after stirring 10-20 minute, add zirconium sponge or potassium fluozirconate again;
(3) the directly casting ingot-forming or be prepared into wire rod of back that reacts completely and stir.
The preparation method of above-mentioned aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus master alloy is characterized in that in the step (1), the phosphorus content of aluminium-phosphorus master alloy is 2.0-7.8%.
Compare with AlP, the ZrP compound is facile hydrolysis, oxidation not, and this compound can play solid phosphorus effect, and zirconium is the micro alloying element in the aluminium-silicon system, thereby can the reinforced aluminum matrix improves the mechanical behavior under high temperature of alloy.Therefore, when adopting aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus master alloy that eutectic and hypereutectic aluminium-Si system alloy are carried out thinning processing, when reaching good thinning effect, can significantly improve the mechanical property of alloy.This master alloy has advantages such as fusing point is low, add-on is little, and thinning effect is stable, long-acting.Under 15 minutes conditions of insulation, can make primary silicon size in the Al-18Si alloy by being refined to below the 25 μ m more than the 120 μ m, be a kind of efficient and environment-friendly type master alloy.The preparation of alloy can be carried out under lower temperature; Need not specific installation in the preparation process, preparation technology is simpler; Aluminum-zirconium-phosphorus the master alloy of preparation has favorable refining effect and strong anti-time fade performance, can improve the mechanical property of alloy simultaneously significantly, is fit to scale operation and application.
