A kind of composite casting method of aluminium coldplate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of composite casting method of aluminium coldplate; Belong to metal material field, particularly relate to a kind of manufacturing approach that institutes such as electronic device, electronic module, surface-mounted integrated circuit and circuit, electronic system produce the aluminium coldplate that has cooling passage of heat that removes.
Background technology
Along with development of science and technology, the application of electronic device more and more widely, but electronic device the time can produce great amount of heat in work, so electronic device needs cooling heat dissipation, in order to avoid thermal accumlation too much shortens its life-span, causes it to work or to lose efficacy.The type of cooling of current main application is liquid cooling and air-cooled; But along with the integrated level of electronic device and module is increasingly high; The caloric value of unit are (or volume) is also increasing, limit by air-cooled intensity of cooling, uses liquid cooling and electronic device etc. is cooled off becomes a kind of development trend.Directly contact caused corrosion of electronic device and short circuit problem for stopping cooling fluid; The method of liquid cooling mostly adopts the coldplate that is provided with cooling passage; Electronic devices etc. are fixed on the coldplate through physical connection; Circulate in the passage of cooling fluid in coldplate, absorb from conduction such as electronic devices and give the heat of coldplate, thereby be reached for the purpose of coolings such as electronic device.
Coldplate is generally processed by heat conductivity good metal material, for example copper, aluminium or their alloy.Because the density (2.7g/cm of aluminium
3) be copper density (8.9g/cm approximately
3) 30%, with respect to copper cooling plate, the aluminium coldplate is to the conditional field of parts weight, fields such as for example space flight, aviation, vehicle, boats and ships, portable equipment have application demand widely.
The cooling passage that is provided with in the aluminium coldplate can adopt method manufacturings such as machining, casting according to requirements such as size, shape, heat conductivilitys.The straight channel of simple shape often adopts machining process to realize, long complex passages crooked, that intermesh then often adopts the casting method manufacturing.
The detailed process of machining manufactured aluminium coldplate is generally: at first; On aluminium alloy plate, process the groove of certain cross sectional shape and cooling liquid inlet is set and outlet; Process the cover plate that is complementary with groove then; Use the technology of bolt or welding that cover plate is connected with aluminium alloy plate at last, form the cooling passage of sealing.The shortcoming of this method is that the runner sealing reliability is poor, production efficiency is low, material is wasteful, production cost is high.
Casting is made the aluminium coldplate can be subdivided into a material core method again, core method, tubing core method.
Silk material core method is used the steel wire coring usually, and the external coating parting compound forms the pore passage thereby at last the silk material is extracted out from casting aluminium coldplate.But this method is only applicable to the aluminium coldplate of channel diameter little (below the φ 3mm), simple shape, otherwise the silk material can't be extracted from foundry goods after can causing cast form.
The core method is to make core with resin sand, fine sand or clay-bonded sand, thereby after the cast form core is removed the formation cooling passage.But this method is only applicable to, and diameter is big slightly, length is short, the cooling duct of simple shape.
Tubing core method is that metal pipe material is bent into required shape, then the tubing embedding is cast in the aluminium coldplate, adopts the method for chemical attack to remove the tubing core after the cast form, forms cooling passage.Generally adopt copper pipe as core for the aluminium coldplate; This is that fusing point is higher than aluminium, can not melt and be out of shape little in the casting cycle owing to the good flexible shaping of copper pipe plasticity; Available nitric acid erosion removal after the cast form, and corrosive liquid plays passivation to aluminium and can not corrode the aluminium coldplate.This method can be made the complicated aluminium coldplate of channel shape.Process efficiency is low but this method adopts nitric acid corrosion copper pipe, and can produce a large amount of pernicious gases, contaminated environment; Cupric acid solution dealing with complicated after the corrosion; And copper pipe must thoroughly be removed, otherwise meeting and alloy matrix aluminum produce electrochemical corrosion, simultaneously; Because copper pipe is by acid fluid dissolves, copper material reclaims difficulty.Thereby this method overall manufacturing complex process, long flow path, pollution is big and production cost is high.
To the shortcoming of tubing core method, another kind of aluminium coldplate preparation method is the copper pipe of embedding casting and directly use its passage as cooling fluid in the erosion removal aluminium coldplate not.But, in life cycle, lost efficacy because the electrochemical corrosion between copper and the aluminium is prone to cause at the aluminium coldplate.And the copper pipe of embedding casting causes the overall weight of aluminium coldplate to increase, and has reduced the lightweight advantage of aluminium coldplate on largely.Simultaneously, because the existence of copper pipe in the aluminium coldplate also causes it to be difficult to melt down remelting and recycling.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the problem that production efficiency is low, material is wasteful, production cost is high in the existing production method, propose a kind of composite casting method of aluminium coldplate.Be employed in the method that fine aluminium or aluminium-alloy pipe (following general designation " aluminum pipe ") are cast in embedding in the aluminium coldplate, can prepare has the aluminium of complicated shape runner coldplate, and this method has advantages such as production efficiency height, good product quality, stock utilization height, low cost of manufacture.
A kind of composite casting method of aluminium coldplate is characterized in that comprising that aluminum pipe prepares shaping, aluminium alloy smelting and semi solid slurry preparation and three steps of composite casting shaping; At first aluminum pipe is processed required form and be fixed in the mold cavity; Then melted aluminium alloy is maintained liquid state or is prepared into semi-solid state; At last liquid state or semi-solid aluminium alloy melt are poured into mold cavity; Make it under gravity or pressure condition, be full of mold cavity and solidify, process the aluminium coldplate.
The shape of cross section of aluminum pipe can be selected circle, ellipse or rectangle etc., to satisfy the heat radiation requirement under the different operating modes.The runner of complicated shape can obtain through technologies such as crooked and welding.In the process of cast form, in aluminum pipe, feed refrigerating gas or liquid as required, and semi-solid aluminium alloy size has lower temperature and latent heat of solidification, can alleviate or eliminate fusing, the metaboly of aluminum pipe in the casting process.
The present invention can realize the near-net-shape of aluminium coldplate, can reduce the consumption of machining processes to material.Aluminum pipe after the cast form need not be removed, and has improved production efficiency.Because aluminum pipe and aluminium cooling plate base body main component are aluminium, be same material, also eliminated the electrochemical corrosion phenomenon.And the aluminium coldplate can integral body melts down or recycles, and reduces the waste of material, has reduced production cost.
The whole technical process of the present invention comprises that the aluminum pipe preparation is shaped, aluminium alloy smelting and semi solid slurry preparation, and three steps of composite casting shaping, shown in accompanying drawing 1:
1) the aluminum pipe preparation is shaped
It is the technical pure aluminum pipe that aluminum pipe can be selected 1XXX for use; Also can select the aluminium-alloy pipe of 2XXX-7XXX system for use, 1XXX and 2XXX-7XXX represent that it is the aluminium and the aluminium alloy trade mark of beginning with what mention in aluminium and aluminum alloy extrusion section bar (GB/T 6892-2006) standard with Any Digit in 1 to 7 that aluminium and aluminium alloy draw (rolling) to make seamless pipe (GB/T 6893-2000) or general industry.The advantage of pure aluminum tube is that plasticity is easy to bend shaping well, and fusing point is high, in follow-up composite casting forming process, is difficult for deforming or melting, but also has the low deficiency of intensity.Aluminium-alloy pipe has the high advantage of intensity, but because the low slightly shaping difficulty that bends of plasticity is higher, and because the solidus of alloy is low than fine aluminium, the tendency height that in follow-up composite casting process, deforms or melt.Therefore, can be according to the different choice fine aluminium of demand or other aluminium-alloy pipes cooling passage as the embedding casting.
The aluminium coldplate complex-shaped for cooling passage and bending radius is less can pour into low-melting alloy (like Wood's metal, lead etc.) or fine sand earlier before the bend pipe in aluminum pipe, bend after the shaping low-melting alloy or fine sand removed to get final product.If require cooling passage to contain branch, can adopt the method for welding, a plurality of aluminum pipes are linked together.
2) aluminium alloy smelting and semi solid slurry preparation
The matrix material of aluminium coldplate is selected Birmasils such as Al-Si, Al-Cu, Al-Mg and Al-Zn system for use.Aluminium alloy after the melting maintains liquid state or is prepared into semi-solid state, prepares composite casting and is shaped.For the liquid cast aluminum alloy formed, control its cast temperature and be not higher than 50 ℃ of liquidus curves.For composite casting molded aluminum alloy under semi-solid state, require it to have certain semi solid zone (the alloy liquid phase line is higher more than 40 ℃ than solidus), thereby be convenient to prepare semi solid slurry and accurately control its solid rate.Can adopt pulping process such as existing mechanical stirring, electromagnetic agitation to prepare aluminium alloy semi-solid slurry; The semi solid slurry of processing is characterized as: the solid phase particles that is uniform-distribution with the certain volume mark in the alloy mother liquor; Be the state that solid, liquid coexists mutually, finally control the solid rate (f of semi-solid aluminium alloy size
s) be not higher than 40%.
3) aluminium coldplate composite casting is shaped
The aluminum pipe for preparing is fixed in the mold cavity; Then under gravity (like gravitational casting) or pressure (like compression casting, low pressure casting etc.) condition; Liquid aluminium alloy or semi-solid aluminium alloy size are full of die cavity; Foundry goods is solidification forming under gravity or pressure effect, obtains the aluminium coldplate of embedding cast aluminium cooling tube.
The fusing point of technical pure aluminum pipe is high; When its wall thickness is big; In low overheat liquid cast (especially semi-solid casting) process its deform and the tendency that melts low, the aluminum pipe form can be maintained behind the casting solidification, can obtain the second best in quality aluminium coldplate finished product.But, in composite casting (especially liquid cast) process, be prone to temperature distortion or fusing for wall thickness thin pure aluminum tube or aluminium-alloy pipe (solidus temperature is lower).To this, can be as required, in whole casting process, in aluminum pipe, feed refrigerating gas or liquid cools off aluminum pipe, to alleviate or to eliminate the tendency of its fusing or distortion.
The present invention adopts liquid state or semisolid composite casting forming mode, and aluminum pipe embedding casting at the aluminium coldplate, can be realized near-net-shape, reduces the consumption of following process operation to material, enhances productivity.Characteristics of the present invention are:
1) aluminum pipe has good plasticity, is prone to welding, can realize that cooling passage has multiple shape of cross section and multiple-limb, complex-shaped aluminium coldplate preparation.Cooling plate base body material and cooling passage material are metal of the same race---aluminium, and electrochemical corrosion does not take place, and the foundry goods total body density is identical with aluminium casting, can be applied to aviation, boats and ships etc. parts weight is required strict field.
2) the present invention adopts the method for liquid composite casting of low overheat or semisolid composite casting; And as required in whole casting process in pipe feeding refrigerating gas or liquid aluminum pipe is cooled off; Can effectively alleviate the tendency that aluminum pipe deforms, melts, and the aluminium cooling plate base body even tissue of preparation, tiny.Simultaneously, because there is a part of solid phase particles in semi solid slurry when filling type, the residual stress that can reduce foundry goods and shrinkage cavity, defective such as loose, raising aluminium coldplate quality.
3) the inventive method can be accomplished the composite casting shaping of aluminium coldplate in the effect of gravity (like gravitational casting) or pressure (like extrusion casint, die casting) down, and with the production of the aluminium coldplate that satisfies the different technologies requirement, the mode of production is various.Accurate control through composite casting technology can realize the metallurgical binding between aluminium coldplate and the aluminum pipe, the good cooling effect of aluminium coldplate.
4) the present invention can realize the near-net-shape of aluminium coldplate, has saved core and has removed operation, reduces the consumption of following process operation to material, can boost productivity, and reduces product cost.
