Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for refining and microbial modification of AlMgSi alloys.
  • Alloys of the AlMgSi type are preferably used in die-casting processes, and they are particularly advantageous for producing thin-walled components.
  • a significant deterioration of the elongation at break with increasing wall thickness recorded.
  • AlMgSi-type AlMgSi-type workpieces produced in mold or sand casting have poor mechanical properties, in particular with regard to breaking elongation.
  • the elongation at break [A5] is 3% for a workpiece with 20 mm wall thickness made by sand casting, and also 3% for a workpiece with 16 mm wall thickness made with chill casting. This results in comparable poor elongation at break values as in the die casting process.
  • grain refining treatment is not required in die casting and may even be detrimental.
  • microstructure of AlMgSi alloys can be controlled by adding alloying elements such as Mn, Cr, Zr, please refer ASM Specialty Handbook: Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys, 1993, ASM International, p. 44 ,
  • AlSiMg in contrast to AlMgSi, means that such an alloy contains a higher proportion of Si than of Mg.
  • Hypereutectic AlSiMg alloys are those having a Si content of slightly or considerably more than 12% Si. At a content of 12% Si is exclusively a eutectic in the form of a fine-grained Al-Si mixed crystal.
  • the present invention provides a process for refining AlMgSi alloys for mold or sand casting, which AlMgSi alloys have the general composition 5.0-10.0 wt .-% Mg; 1.0-5.0 wt% Si; 0.001-1.0 wt% Mn, 0.01-0.2 wt% Ti, less than 0.001 wt% Ca, less than 0.001 wt% Na, and less than 0.001 wt% Sr and the remainder Al, and wherein the alloy melt is added to phosphorus in an amount ranging from 0.01 to 0.06 wt .-%, based on the total mass of the alloy.
  • -% Sr and the balance Al have, more preferably.
  • the phosphorus addition causes the eutectic to grow decoupled.
  • the morphology of the eutectic Mg 2 Si phase changes from lamellar and coarse to globular and fine.
  • the phosphorus binds the calcium and thereby suppresses the formation of the intermetallic phases CaMg 2 , Al 2 Ca, Al 4 Ca, and so on.
  • These phases are nucleation sites for the eutectic Mg 2 Si; if they are absent, the nucleation sites are absent at the host level and the Mg 2 Si phase is formed by supercooling. Since nucleation is necessary for each particle, growth is extremely slow compared to unmodified alloys. The nucleation is self-sufficient or on the aluminum, which is also a poor nucleating agent and thereby minimizes the growth rate.
  • the peak of the ternary eutectic disappears or decreases with increasing phosphorus content.
  • the addition of the phosphorus can be in the form of a phosphor master alloy or phosphorus salt mixtures.
  • Preferred phosphor master alloys which can be used in the present invention include CuP8, AlCuP, AlFeP, and FeP master alloys.
