60min, refining time are 20~30min.
Preferably, heat treatment temperature described in step S2 is 450~470 DEG C, keeps the temperature 1~2h.
Aluminum alloy materials made from the preparation method can be applied to prepare shell case;It is preferably applied to prepare cannon, smooth
The shell case of the bullet of gram big gun or airborne heavy firearms.
The preparation method of the shell case the following steps are included:
S3. the aluminum alloy materials are placed in punch forming aluminium alloy shell case in stamping die, made annealing treatment;
S4. anodized is carried out to aluminium alloy shell case, surface colours.
Preferably, it is 5~8 times that aluminum alloy materials described in step S3, which impact molding number of shocks,;It is moved back described in step S3
Fiery temperature is 430~470 DEG C, keeps the temperature 5~15min.

The defect of slag reduces the comprehensive performance of aluminum alloy materials.Inert gas is passed through in melt, inert gas and hydrogen generate partial pressure
Difference, hydrogen, which just enters, is discharged melt in bubble, and can adsorb some impurity discharge aluminum alloy materials.Meanwhile it preventing in high melt
In the process, the oxidation of aluminum alloy materials.It is further preferred that gas described in step S1 is dry nitrogen.
Aluminium alloy smelting temperature is excessively high, will increase oxidation, the air-breathing, alloy infiltration iron of molten aluminum, reduces the performance of aluminium alloy;Temperature
Spend low, the grain refining effect of aluminium alloy is slow, and effect is poor.Molten aluminum is added in the copper manganese magnesium chromium titanium zr element of aluminum alloy materials, needs
Certain time is stood, keeps its diffusion uniform.It is further preferred that heating melting temperature described in step S1 is 780 DEG C, it is described molten
The refining time is 45min, and the time of refining is 25min.
Aluminium has preferable ductility as a kind of light metal, but its hardness is unsatisfactory for production shell case requirement.By adding it
His metallic element improves the mechanical property of aluminum material.Other alloying elements are added in fine aluminium, forms aluminium base solid solution, causes lattice
Distortion hinders dislocation motion, plays solution strengthening effect, and the intensity for enabling aluminum alloy to material improves.Alloying element is to the another of aluminium
Kind invigoration effect is realized by heat treatment, and aluminium element does not have the transformation of ppolymorphism, and alloying element has larger in aluminium alloy
Solid solubility, and reduce and reduce with temperature.After aluminum alloy materials are heated to a certain temperature, oversaturated aluminium base solid solution can be obtained
The extension at any time of body, intensity and hardness and increase, the time it is too long, agglomeration, intensity decline is precipitated in alloying element.Into
Preferably, heat treatment temperature described in step S2 is 460 DEG C to one step, keeps the temperature 1.5h.
The shell case for the aluminum alloy materials that the height is tough uses punch forming.The forming method can be obtained light weight,
Thickness is thin, high rigidity product, is suitable for shell case requirement, and productivity is good, is suitble to produce in enormous quantities, at low cost.Product can be obtained
The dimensional tolerance of the uniform product of matter, shell case depends on mold, and not needing machine cuts can be used, and stock utilization is high and returns
The property received is good.
Aluminum alloy materials by 5~8 passage punch forming aluminium alloy shell cases, by aluminium alloy small column ingot be placed in mold into
The 1st passage punching press of row molds cartridge case base shape, and intermediate several passages are mainly cylinder part of extending, and last 1 passage is to receive
Mouthful, final molding goes out aluminium alloy shell case.
Annealing can eliminate aluminum alloy materials shell case in stamping forming residual stress, and stable dimensions reduce deformation and split
Line tendency, refines crystal grain, eliminates tissue defects.It is further preferred that annealing temperature described in step S3 is 450 DEG C, heat preservation
10min。
The shell case of the aluminum alloy materials further increases the table of aluminium alloy shell case using hard anodizing treatment process
Surface hardness and modulate required appearance color.
Compared with prior art, beneficial effect is:
The most heavy caliber ammunition in China uses steel ammunition casing, compared to present steel ammunition casing, this hair
The shell case for the aluminum alloy materials that the bright height is tough can mitigate the abrasion to weapon part significantly, improve the longevity that weapon uses
Life.The springback capacity of the shell case for the aluminum alloy materials that the height is tough is small, is not easy to get stuck.Using stamping forming method, technique
Upper easy processing, can be mass-produced.The obdurability that aluminium alloy is improved by being added to the metallic elements such as titanium, chromium makes its satisfaction
Shell case rupture, fire in a stove before fuel is added gas leakage etc. will not occur during the launch process in the high-strength of large caliber weapon ammunition, high-ductility, chemical stability
Situation.Meanwhile the shell case of aluminum alloy materials is to realize one of light-weighted important channel of weaponry, such as certain large-bore machine gun,
Steel shell case is 90g, when the shell case made from the tough aluminum alloy materials of height of the invention instead after, weight is only the left side 30g
The right side reduces almost 2/3rds, when carrying the ammunition of identical weight, takes bullet amount and greatly improves, and enhances my army
Striking capabilities.In air weapon ammunition, car body weight is mitigated using the shell case of aluminum alloy materials, it is anti-to be conducive to army's fast reserve
Should be able to power, the lightweight of ammunition can increase ammunition range, expand strike range.
