Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckgusslegierung auf der Basis Aluminium-Silizium.The invention relates to a die-casting alloy based on aluminum-silicon.

Die Verwendung von Aluminium-Silizium-Gusslegierungen zur Herstellung von Bauteilen im Druckgiessverfahren ist allgemein bekannt. Insbesondere an Sicherheitsbauteile werden heute Anforderungen gestellt, denen die bekannten Druckgusslegierungen längst nicht mehr in allen Belangen zu genügen vermögen.The use of aluminum-silicon casting alloys for the production of components in the die casting process is generally known. Today, in particular, safety components are subject to requirements which the known die-cast alloys are no longer able to meet in all respects.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Aluminium-Druckgusslegierung bereitzustellen, die bezüglich ihrer mechanischen Eigenschaften sowohl im Gusszustand als auch nach einer Wärmebehandlung die an Sicherheitsbauteile wie beispielsweise Räder von Personenkraftwagen gestellten Anforderungen erfüllt, gut schweissbar ist sowie eine hohe Korrosionsbeständigkeit aufweist. Darüber hinaus soll die Legierung gut giessbar sein.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has set himself the task of providing an aluminum die-casting alloy which, with regard to its mechanical properties, both in the cast state and after heat treatment, meets the requirements placed on safety components such as wheels of passenger cars, is easy to weld, and has high corrosion resistance . In addition, the alloy should be easy to cast.

Erfindungsgemäss wird die Aufgabe gelöst durch eine Druckgusslegierung auf der Basis Aluminium-Silizium, die
   9,5 bis 11,5 Gew.-% Silizium
   0,1 bis 0,5 Gew.-% Magnesium
   0,5 bis 0,8 Gew.-% Mangan
   max. 0,15 Gew.-% Eisen
   max. 0,03 Gew.-% Kupfer
   max. 0,10 Gew.-% Zink
   max. 0,15 Gew.-% Titan
und als Rest Aluminium sowie zur Dauerveredelung 30 bis 300 ppm Strontium enthält.According to the invention the object is achieved by a die-casting alloy based on aluminum-silicon
9.5 to 11.5 wt .-% silicon
0.1 to 0.5 wt% magnesium
0.5 to 0.8 wt% manganese
Max. 0.15 wt% iron
Max. 0.03 wt% copper
Max. 0.10 wt% zinc
Max. 0.15 wt% titanium
and contains the rest aluminum and for permanent refinement 30 to 300 ppm strontium.

Die erfindungsgemässe Druckgusslegierung entspricht damit dem Typ AlSi9Mg mit erheblich reduziertem Eisengehalt und einer Strontium-Veredelung des AlSi-Eutektikums. Wegen der hohen Dehnungswerte sowohl im Gusszustand als auch nach einer Wärmebehandlung ist die Legierung insbesondere zur Herstellung von Sicherheitsbauteilen geeignet.The die-casting alloy according to the invention thus corresponds to the AlSi9Mg type with a considerably reduced iron content and a strontium refinement of the AlSi eutectic. Because of the high elongation values both in the as-cast state and after heat treatment, the alloy is particularly suitable for the production of safety components.

Obwohl im Gusszustand schon gute mechanische Werte vorhanden sind, können aus der erfindungsgemässen Legierung hergestellte Druckgussstücke allen Wärmebehandlungen unterzogen werden.Although good mechanical values are already present in the as-cast state, die-castings produced from the alloy according to the invention can be subjected to all heat treatments.

Die bei einer Wärmebehandlung erreichten mechanischen Eigenschaften sind in starkem Mass vom Magnesiumgehalt abhängig. Daher ist dieser in der Fertigung sehr eng zu tolerieren. Der Magnesiumgehalt wird auf die Anforderungen an das Druckgussstück abgestimmt.The mechanical properties achieved with heat treatment depend to a large extent on the magnesium content. Therefore, this can be tolerated very closely in production. The magnesium content is tailored to the requirements of the die casting.

Zur Verbesserung der Ausformbarkeit enthält die Legierung Mangan. Der relativ grosse Anteil eutektischen Siliziums wird durch Strontium veredelt. Gegenüber körnigen Druckgusslegierung mit höheren Verunreinigungen besitzt die erfindungsgemässe Legierung auch Vorteile hinsichtlich der Dauerschwingfestigkeit. Die Risszähigkeit ist aufgrund der sehr klein vorliegenden Mischkristalle und des veredelten Eutektikums höher.The alloy contains manganese to improve formability. The relatively large proportion of eutectic silicon is refined by strontium. Compared to granular die-cast alloy with higher impurities, the alloy according to the invention also has advantages in terms of fatigue strength. The fracture toughness is higher due to the very small mixed crystals and the refined eutectic.

Bevorzugt wird die erfindungsgemässe Legierung als Horizontal-Stranggussmassel hergestellt. Damit ist es möglich, ohne aufwendige Schmelzereinigung eine Druckgusslegierung mit geringer Oxidverunreinigung zu erschmelzen: eine wichtige Voraussetzung zur Erzielung hoher Dehnungswerte im Druckgussstück.The alloy according to the invention is preferably produced as a horizontal continuous casting mass. This makes it possible to melt a die-casting alloy with low oxide contamination without complex melt cleaning: an important prerequisite for achieving high elongation values in the die-casting.

Beim Einschmelzen ist jede Verunreinigung der Schmelze, insbesondere durch Kupfer oder Eisen, zu vermeiden. Die Reinigung der erfindungsgemässen dauerveredelten AlSiMg-Legierung erfolgt bevorzugt mittels einer Spülgasbehandlung mit inerten Gasen mittels Impeller.Any contamination of the melt, in particular by copper or iron, must be avoided during melting. The permanently refined AlSiMg alloy according to the invention is preferably cleaned by means of a purge gas treatment with inert gases using an impeller.

Der Strontiumgehalt liegt bevorzugt zwischen 50 und 150 ppm und sollte im allgemeinen nicht unter 50 ppm fallen, da sonst das Giessverhalten verschlechtert werden kann.The strontium content is preferably between 50 and 150 ppm and should generally not fall below 50 ppm, since otherwise the casting behavior can be impaired.

Der Erfindung kann zusätzlich noch 0,05 bis 0,3 Gew.-%, insbesondere 0,15 bis 0,20 Gew.-% Zirkonium zugegeben werden.In addition, 0.05 to 0.3% by weight, in particular 0.15 to 0.20% by weight, of zirconium can be added to the invention.

Bevorzugt wird bei der erfindungsgemässen Legierung eine Kornfeinung durchgeführt. Hierzu kann der Legierung Galliumphosphid und/oder Indiumphosphid in einer Menge entsprechend 1 bis 250 ppm, vorzugsweise 1 bis 30 ppm Phosphor zugeführt werden. Zusätzlich kann die Legierung zur Kornfeinung auch Titan und Bor enthalten, wobei die Zugabe von Titan und Bor über eine Vorlegierung mit 1 bis 2 Gew.-% Titan und 1 bis 2 Gew.-% Bor, Rest Aluminium, erfolgt. Hierbei enthält die Vorlegierung bevorzugt 1,3 bis 1,8 Gew.-% Titan und 1,3 bis 1,8 Gew.-% Bor und weist ein Titan/Bor-Gewichtsverhältnis von etwa 0,8 bis 1,2 auf. Der Gehalt der Vorlegierung in der erfindungsgemässen Legierung wird bevorzugt auf 0,05 bis 0,5 Gew.-% eingestellt.Grain refinement is preferably carried out in the alloy according to the invention. For this purpose, the alloy gallium phosphide and / or indium phosphide can be added in an amount corresponding to 1 to 250 ppm, preferably 1 to 30 ppm phosphorus. In addition, the alloy for grain refinement can also contain titanium and boron, the addition of titanium and boron being effected via a master alloy with 1 to 2% by weight of titanium and 1 to 2% by weight of boron, the rest being aluminum. The master alloy preferably contains 1.3 to 1.8% by weight of titanium and 1.3 to 1.8% by weight of boron and has a titanium / boron weight ratio of approximately 0.8 to 1.2. The content of the master alloy in the alloy according to the invention is preferably set to 0.05 to 0.5% by weight.

Die erfindungsgemässe Druckgusslegierung ist in hohem Mass geeignet zum Druckgiessen von Sicherheitsbauteilen, insbesondere zum Druckgiessen von Fahrzeugrädern wie beispielsweise Räder für Personenkraftwagen.The die-casting alloy according to the invention is highly suitable for die-casting safety components, in particular for die-casting vehicle wheels such as wheels for passenger cars.
