ところが、従来において、上記した熱間鍛造法で製造した鍛造品の機械的性質を前提としてアルミニウム合金製ロードホイールを設計する場合には、現状得られる機械的性質が部品軽量化の妨げとなっており、車両の運動性の観点から見れば、好ましくないという問題を有しており、この問題を解決することが従来の課題となっていた。   However, in the past, when designing an aluminum alloy road wheel on the premise of the mechanical properties of a forged product manufactured by the hot forging method described above, the mechanical properties obtained at present impede weight reduction of parts. From the viewpoint of vehicle mobility, there is a problem that it is not preferable, and it has been a conventional problem to solve this problem.

本発明は、上記した従来の課題に着目してなされたもので、優れた機械的性質を有していてしかも軽量のアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイール及びその製造方法を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made by paying attention to the above-described conventional problems, and has as its object to provide a lightweight aluminum alloy forged road wheel having excellent mechanical properties and a method for producing the same.

本発明は、車軸が装着されるハブ部と、ハブ部の周囲に位置するデザイン面を有するディスク部と、このディスク部の周縁に一体で形成されたリム部を備えたロードホイールにおいて、質量比でSi0.95〜1.35%、Mg0.8〜1.2%、Cu0.2〜0.5%、Mn0.4〜0.7%、Fe0.3%以下及びCr0.05〜0.25%を含んで残部をアルミニウムとしたアルミニウム合金を鍛造して成り、ディスク部のデザイン面及びリム部の結晶粒が、粒径50μm以下の金属組織を有している構成としたことを特徴としており、このアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイールの構成を前述した従来の課題を解決するための手段としている。   The present invention relates to a road wheel including a hub portion to which an axle is mounted, a disc portion having a design surface located around the hub portion, and a rim portion integrally formed on the periphery of the disc portion. Si 0.95 to 1.35%, Mg 0.8 to 1.2%, Cu 0.2 to 0.5%, Mn 0.4 to 0.7%, Fe 0.3% or less and Cr 0.05 to 0.25 It is characterized in that it is made by forging an aluminum alloy that contains aluminum and the balance is aluminum, and the design surface of the disk portion and the crystal grains of the rim portion have a metal structure with a particle size of 50 μm or less. The configuration of the aluminum alloy forged road wheel is a means for solving the above-described conventional problems.

本発明のアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイールによれば、上記した構成としているので、優れた機械的性質を有していながら軽量化をも実現することが可能であるという非常に優れた効果がもたらされる。   According to the aluminum alloy forged road wheel of the present invention, since it has the above-described configuration, it has a very excellent effect that it is possible to realize weight reduction while having excellent mechanical properties. .

以下、本発明を更に詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

図1に示すように、本発明のアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイール1は、車軸孔2aを有するハブ部2と、このハブ部2の周囲に位置するデザイン面3を有するディスク部4と、このディスク部4の周縁に一体で形成されたリム部5を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 1, an aluminum alloy forged road wheel 1 according to the present invention includes a hub portion 2 having an axle hole 2a, a disc portion 4 having a design surface 3 positioned around the hub portion 2, and the disc. A rim portion 5 formed integrally with the periphery of the portion 4 is provided.

このアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイール1において、リム部5を鍛造後における室温スピニング加工により成形されたものとしてもよく、この構成を採用すると、リム部5をスピニングによりファイバー組織とすることで、リム部5の高い機械的性質を確保し得ることとなる。   In this aluminum alloy forged road wheel 1, the rim portion 5 may be formed by room temperature spinning after forging. When this configuration is adopted, the rim portion 5 is formed into a fiber structure by spinning. 5 high mechanical properties can be secured.

上記アルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイール1に用いるアルミニウム合金は、質量比でSi0.95〜1.35%、Mg0.8〜1.2%、Cu0.2〜0.5%、Mn0.4〜0.7%、Fe0.3%以下及びCr0.05〜0.25%を含んで残部をアルミニウムとしている。   The aluminum alloy used in the aluminum alloy forged road wheel 1 is Si 0.95 to 1.35%, Mg 0.8 to 1.2%, Cu 0.2 to 0.5%, and Mn 0.4 to 0.00 by mass ratio. 7%, Fe 0.3% or less and Cr 0.05-0.25%, the balance being aluminum.

上記アルミニウム合金に含有するSiは、固溶強化により強度を向上させると共に、Mgとの化合物であるMgSiの析出物として強度を向上させる元素であり、含有量が質量比で0.95%未満の場合は、過剰Siによる析出形態微細化が得られずに、狙いとする強度を得ることができず、一方、含有量が質量比で1.35%を超える場合は、靭性及び耐食性が低下するので、Siの含有量を質量比で0.95〜1.35%としている。 Si contained in the aluminum alloy is an element that improves the strength by solid solution strengthening and improves the strength as a precipitate of Mg 2 Si that is a compound with Mg, and its content is 0.95% by mass. If the content is less than 1.35%, it is not possible to obtain a refined precipitation form due to excess Si and the target strength cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 1.35% by mass, the toughness and corrosion resistance are low. Since it falls, Si content is made into 0.95-1.35% by mass ratio.

上記アルミニウム合金に含有するMgは、Siと同じく強度を向上させる元素であり、含有量が質量比で0.8%未満の場合は、狙いとするMgSiの析出量が減少し、一方、含有量が質量比で1.2%を超える場合は、過剰Siによる 強度の確保が困難になるので、Mgの含有量を質量比で0.8〜1.2%としている。 Mg contained in the aluminum alloy is an element that improves the strength in the same way as Si. When the content is less than 0.8% in terms of mass ratio, the target Mg 2 Si precipitation amount decreases, When the content exceeds 1.2% by mass ratio, it is difficult to ensure the strength by excess Si, so the Mg content is set to 0.8 to 1.2% by mass ratio.

上記アルミニウム合金に添加するCuは、固溶強化により強度を向上させる元素であり、添加量が質量比で0.2%未満の場合は、狙いとする強度を得ることができず、一方、添加量が質量比で0.5%を超える場合は、耐食性が低下するので、Cuの添加量を質量比で0.2〜0.5%としている。   Cu added to the aluminum alloy is an element that improves the strength by solid solution strengthening. When the addition amount is less than 0.2% by mass ratio, the target strength cannot be obtained. When the amount exceeds 0.5% by mass ratio, the corrosion resistance decreases, so the addition amount of Cu is set to 0.2 to 0.5% by mass ratio.

上記アルミニウム合金に添加するMnは、鍛造時における結晶粒粗大化を抑制して亜結晶組織をもたらす元素であり、添加量が質量比で0.4%未満の場合は、結晶粒が粗大化してしまい、一方、添加量が質量比で0.7%を超える場合は、Mn化合物が晶出して靭性が低下するので、Mnの添加量を質量比で0.4〜0.7%としている。   Mn added to the aluminum alloy is an element that suppresses the coarsening of crystal grains during forging and produces a subcrystalline structure. When the addition amount is less than 0.4% by mass, the crystal grains are coarsened. On the other hand, when the addition amount exceeds 0.7% by mass ratio, the Mn compound crystallizes and the toughness decreases, so the addition amount of Mn is set to 0.4 to 0.7% by mass ratio.

上記アルミニウム合金に添加するFeは、針状晶出物として靭性を低下させるので、添加量が質量比で0.3%を超える場合は、狙いの靭性確保が難しくなることから、Feの添加量を質量比で0.3%以下としている。   Fe added to the above aluminum alloy reduces toughness as a needle-like crystallized product, so if the added amount exceeds 0.3% by mass ratio, it is difficult to ensure the target toughness. Is 0.3% or less by mass ratio.

上記アルミニウム合金に添加するCrは、鍛造素材である鋳造組織を微細化する機能を有する元素であり、添加量が質量比で0.05%未満の場合は、粗大な鍛造組織となって靭性が低下し、一方、添加量が質量比で0.25%を超える場合は、鍛造素材を鋳造により製造する際に粗大な晶出物が生成されて靭性の低下を招くので、Crの添加量を質量比で0.05〜0.25%としている。   Cr added to the aluminum alloy is an element having a function of refining a cast structure which is a forging material. When the addition amount is less than 0.05% by mass ratio, it becomes a coarse forged structure and has toughness. On the other hand, if the addition amount exceeds 0.25% by mass ratio, a coarse crystallized product is generated when the forging material is produced by casting, resulting in a decrease in toughness. The mass ratio is 0.05 to 0.25%.

本発明のアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイールにおいて、アルミニウム合金が、鍛造素材である鋳造組織を微細化する機能を有する元素であるTiを含んでいる構成とすることができ、この場合、添加量が質量比で0.1%を超える場合は、微細化が進まないので、Tiの添加量を質量比で0.1%以下とすることが望ましい。   In the aluminum alloy forged road wheel of the present invention, the aluminum alloy can be configured to contain Ti which is an element having a function of refining a cast structure which is a forging material. In this case, the addition amount is mass. If the ratio exceeds 0.1%, miniaturization does not proceed, so it is desirable that the amount of Ti added be 0.1% or less by mass ratio.

上記した室温スピニング加工により成形されたリム部5を有するアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイール1を製造するに際しては、まず、ディスク部4の結晶粒を微細化するために、鋳造で製造したアルミニウム合金製の丸棒を切断して得たビレットに対して、大気炉を用いて温度500〜560℃の均質化熱処理を2〜10時間施すと共に加熱温度500〜560℃で加熱する。   In manufacturing the aluminum alloy forged road wheel 1 having the rim portion 5 formed by the above-described room temperature spinning process, first, in order to refine the crystal grains of the disk portion 4, the aluminum alloy forged road wheel 1 is manufactured. The billet obtained by cutting the round bar is subjected to a homogenization heat treatment at a temperature of 500 to 560 ° C. for 2 to 10 hours using an atmospheric furnace and heated at a heating temperature of 500 to 560 ° C.

次に、上記材料加熱と同様にディスク部4の結晶粒を微細化するのを目的として、油圧式鍛造プレス装置を用いて熱間鍛造を行う。この際、鍛造プレス装置の金型温度が300℃未満では、鍛造歪が増加して結晶の粗大化を招くことから、金型温度300℃以上の条件で熱間鍛造を行う。   Next, hot forging is performed using a hydraulic forging press apparatus for the purpose of refining the crystal grains of the disk portion 4 in the same manner as the material heating. At this time, if the mold temperature of the forging press apparatus is less than 300 ° C., forging distortion increases and the crystal becomes coarser. Therefore, hot forging is performed under a condition where the mold temperature is 300 ° C. or more.

次いで、この鍛造で得たホイール素材に対して室温スピニング加工を行って、高い機械的性質を確保したリム部5を成形する。   Next, room temperature spinning processing is performed on the wheel material obtained by this forging to form the rim portion 5 that ensures high mechanical properties.

続いて、上記した固溶強化及び析出強化を促進する強化元素をアルミニウム中に固溶させて、ディスク部4及びリム部5の機械的性質を確保することを目的として、急速加熱炉を用いて溶体化熱処理を行う。このとき、急速加熱炉の雰囲気温度が540℃に満たない場合には、狙いとする機械的性質を得ることができず、一方、雰囲気温度が560℃を超えている場合には、材料に局部溶解が生じることから、温度540〜560℃で5〜180分の溶体化熱処理を行う。   Subsequently, a rapid heating furnace is used for the purpose of ensuring the mechanical properties of the disk portion 4 and the rim portion 5 by dissolving the strengthening elements that promote solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening in aluminum. Solution heat treatment is performed. At this time, when the atmospheric temperature of the rapid heating furnace is less than 540 ° C., the target mechanical properties cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the atmospheric temperature exceeds 560 ° C., the material is localized. Since dissolution occurs, solution heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 540 to 560 ° C. for 5 to 180 minutes.

そして、実体温度60℃以下の水焼き入れ及び温度180〜200℃で1.5〜8時間の時効熱処理を順次施した後、機械加工工程及び塗装工程を経てアルミニウム合金製鍛造ロードホイールを得る。   Then, after water quenching at an actual temperature of 60 ° C. or less and aging heat treatment at a temperature of 180 to 200 ° C. for 1.5 to 8 hours in sequence, an aluminum alloy forged road wheel is obtained through a machining process and a painting process.

上記水焼き入れにおいて、60℃を超えた温度で焼入れを行うと、固溶強化元素が十分に固溶しないので、後工程の時効熱処理で所定の機械的性質が得難くなることから、実体温度を60℃以下とする。   In the above water quenching, if the quenching is performed at a temperature exceeding 60 ° C., the solid solution strengthening element is not sufficiently dissolved, so that it is difficult to obtain a predetermined mechanical property by an aging heat treatment in a subsequent process. Is 60 ° C. or less.

ここで、水焼き入れが終了して時効熱処理を開始するまでの間、室温で30分以上放置すると、強化元素であるMg,Si元素が単体でクラスターを形成して、後工程の時効熱処理で十分な析出が促進されずに所定の強度が得られなくなる可能性があることから、実体温度60℃以下の水焼き入れを行った後、室温放置時間が30分を超えないうちに、大気炉を用いて温度180〜200℃で1.5〜8時間の時効熱処理を施すことが望ましい。   Here, when water quenching is finished and aging heat treatment is started, if left at room temperature for 30 minutes or more, the strengthening elements Mg and Si elements form a single cluster, and the aging heat treatment in the subsequent process is performed. Since sufficient precipitation may not be promoted and a predetermined strength may not be obtained, an atmospheric furnace may be used after standing at room temperature for less than 30 minutes after water quenching at an actual temperature of 60 ° C. or less. It is desirable to perform an aging heat treatment at a temperature of 180 to 200 ° C. for 1.5 to 8 hours.
