Description
本開示はアルミニウム合金押出材に関する。 This disclosure relates to aluminum alloy extrusions.
従来、フレーム材に用いられるアルミニウム部材として、高強度の６０００系アルミニウム合金押出材が主に使用されてきた。しかし、６０００系アルミニウム合金は焼入れ感受性が高く、焼入れによって歪が生じやすいために、精度が要求される部材への適用は難しい。そこで、応力腐食割れの問題があるものの焼入れ感受性が低い７０００系アルミニウム合金のフレーム材への適用が試みられている。 Traditionally, high-strength 6000-series aluminum alloy extrusions have been the main aluminum components used in frame materials. However, 6000-series aluminum alloys are highly sensitive to quenching and are prone to distortion due to quenching, making them difficult to use in components that require precision. Therefore, attempts are being made to use 7000-series aluminum alloys, which have low quenching sensitivity but are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking, as frame materials.
特許文献１には、合金組成等を制御することにより耐応力腐食割れ性に優れた７０００系アルミニウム合金部材の製造方法が開示されており、具体的にはクロム酸促進法による耐応力腐食割れ試験を行って、割れが少なくとも１２時間発生しないアルミニウム合金部材が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a method for manufacturing a 7000-series aluminum alloy member that has excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance by controlling the alloy composition, etc., and specifically discloses an aluminum alloy member that does not crack for at least 12 hours after a stress corrosion cracking resistance test using a chromic acid accelerated method.
特許文献２には、合金組成等を制御することによりＴ６処理材の強度と靭性、金属組織及び耐応力腐食割れ性を改善したＡｌ－Ｚｎ－Ｍｇ系合金押出材（すなわち７０００系アルミニウム合金押出材）とその製造方法が開示されており、具体的にはクロム酸促進試験により、割れが１２時間発生しない合金押出材が開示されている。
しかしながら、特許文献１および２に開示されるような従来技術では、クロム酸促進試験を１２時間超行った場合に割れが発生するおそれがあることがわかり、耐応力腐食割れ性に更なる改善の余地があることがわかった。
However, it was found that in the conventional techniques disclosed in
本発明はこのような状況に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的の１つは、フレーム材として十分な強度にでき、かつ耐応力腐食割れ性が改善されたアルミニウム合金押出材を提供することである。 The present invention was made in consideration of these circumstances, and one of its objectives is to provide an aluminum alloy extrusion material that has sufficient strength for use as a frame material and has improved stress corrosion cracking resistance.

本発明者らは、フレーム材として十分な強度にでき、かつ耐応力腐食割れ性が改善されたアルミニウム合金押出材を実現するべく、様々な角度から検討した。その結果、Ｚｎ、Ｍｇ、Ｆｅ、Ｃｕ、ＴｉおよびＺｒを必須で含み、それらの含有量を所定範囲に制御するとともに、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比を２．９２～４．３５または８．９４～９．１２という非常に狭い範囲に限定することにより、フレーム材として十分な強度にでき、かつ耐応力腐食割れ性が改善されたアルミニウム合金押出材を実現できることを見出した。 The inventors have investigated from various angles in order to realize an aluminum alloy extrusion material that has sufficient strength for use as a frame material and has improved stress corrosion cracking resistance. As a result, they have discovered that it is possible to realize an aluminum alloy extrusion material that has sufficient strength for use as a frame material and has improved stress corrosion cracking resistance by containing Zn, Mg, Fe, Cu, Ti and Zr as essential elements, controlling their contents within predetermined ranges, and limiting the Zn/Mg mass ratio to a very narrow range of 2.92 to 4.35 or 8.94 to 9.12.
以下に、本発明の実施形態が規定する各要件の詳細を示す。 The following provides details of each requirement stipulated by the embodiment of the present invention.
本発明の実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金押出材は、成分組成が、Ｚｎ：３．０～６．０質量％、Ｍｇ：０．４～１．４質量％、Ｆｅ：０．０５～０．２質量％、Ｃｕ：０．０５～０．２質量％、Ｔｉ：０．００５～０．２質量％、Ｚｒ：０．１～０．３質量％を含み、さらに、残部がアルミニウムおよび不可避不純物であることが好ましい。また、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比が２．９２～４．３５または８．９４～９．１２である。
以下、各元素について詳述する。
The aluminum alloy extrusion material according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably has a composition including 3.0 to 6.0 mass% Zn, 0.4 to 1.4 mass% Mg, 0.05 to 0.2 mass% Fe, 0.05 to 0.2 mass% Cu, 0.005 to 0.2 mass% Ti, 0.1 to 0.3 mass% Zr, and the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities, and has a Zn/Mg mass ratio of 2.92 to 4.35 or 8.94 to 9.12.
Each element will be described in detail below.
（Ｚｎ：３．０～６．０質量％）
Ｚｎは、Ｍｇと共にアルミニウム合金押出材の強度を向上させる元素である。Ｚｎ含有量が３．０質量％未満では電池パックフレーム（バッテリーフレームとも称する）などのフレーム材として必要な耐力２６０ＭＰａ以上が得られない。一方、Ｚｎ含有量が６．０質量％超だと耐応力腐食割れ性および一般耐食性が低下する。よって、Ｚｎの含有量は３．０～６．０質量％とする。
(Zn: 3.0 to 6.0% by mass)
Zn is an element that, together with Mg, improves the strength of an aluminum alloy extrusion material. If the Zn content is less than 3.0 mass%, the yield strength of 260 MPa or more required for a frame material such as a battery pack frame (also called a battery frame) cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the Zn content exceeds 6.0 mass%, the stress corrosion cracking resistance and general corrosion resistance decrease. Therefore, the Zn content is set to 3.0 to 6.0 mass%.
（Ｍｇ：０．４～１．４質量％）
ＭｇはＺｎと共にアルミニウム合金押出材の強度を向上させる元素である。Ｍｇ含有量が０．４質量％未満では電池パックフレームなどのフレーム材として必要な耐力２６０ＭＰａ以上が得られない。一方、Ｍｇ含有量が１．４質量％超だと、押出圧力の増大に伴い押出性が低下するとともに伸びも低下する。よって、Ｍｇの含有量は０．４～１．４質量％とする。
(Mg: 0.4-1.4% by mass)
Mg, together with Zn, is an element that improves the strength of an aluminum alloy extrusion material. If the Mg content is less than 0.4 mass%, the yield strength of 260 MPa or more required for a frame material such as a battery pack frame cannot be obtained. If the amount exceeds 1.4 mass%, the extrudability decreases with increasing extrusion pressure, and the elongation also decreases. Therefore, the Mg content is set to 0.4 to 1.4 mass%.
（Ｆｅ：０．０５～０．２質量％）
Ｆｅはアルミニウム合金の主要な不可避不純物であり、アルミニウム合金押出材の諸特性を低下させないため、０．２質量％以下とする。一方、アルミニウム合金押出材中のＦｅを０．０５質量％未満に低減することはコスト面の負担が大きい。よって、Ｆｅ含有量は０．０５～０．２質量％とする。
(Fe: 0.05-0.2% by mass)
Fe is a major unavoidable impurity in aluminum alloys, and in order not to deteriorate the various properties of the aluminum alloy extrusion material, the Fe content is set to 0.2 mass% or less. On the other hand, the Fe content in the aluminum alloy extrusion material is set to less than 0.05 mass%. Reducing the amount of Fe in the steel sheet imposes a large burden on the cost. Therefore, the Fe content is set to 0.05 to 0.2 mass %.
（Ｃｕ：０．０５～０．２質量％）
Ｃｕはアルミニウム合金押出材の強度を向上させる元素である。Ｃｕ含有量が０．０５質量％未満では十分な強度向上効果が無く、一方、０．２質量％超だと押出性の低下を招く。よって、Ｃｕ含有量は０．０５～０．２質量％とする。
(Cu: 0.05-0.2% by mass)
Cu is an element that improves the strength of an aluminum alloy extrusion material. If the Cu content is less than 0.05% by mass, the strength improvement effect is insufficient, while if it exceeds 0.2% by mass, extrusion property is deteriorated. Therefore, the Cu content is set to 0.05 to 0.2 mass %.
（Ｔｉ：０．００５～０．２質量％）
Ｔｉは、押出材の成形性を向上させる作用があり、０．００５質量％以上を添加する。一方、０．２質量％超だとその作用が飽和し、粗大な金属間化合物が晶出して破壊の起点になりうるため機械的性質が低下する。よって、Ｔｉ含有量は０．００５～０．２質量％とし、好ましくは０．００５～０．１質量％とし、より好ましくは０．００５～０．０５質量％とする。
(Ti: 0.005 to 0.2% by mass)
Ti has the effect of improving the formability of the extrusion material, and is added in an amount of 0.005% by mass or more. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 0.2% by mass, this effect becomes saturated and coarse intermetallic compounds crystallize. Therefore, the Ti content is set to 0.005 to 0.2 mass%, preferably 0.005 to 0.1 mass%, and more preferably 0.005 to 0.2 mass%. Up to 0.05% by mass.
（Ｚｒ：０．１～０．３質量％）
Ｚｒはアルミニウム合金押出材の再結晶を抑制して、耐応力腐食割れ性を向上させる作用がある。Ｚｒの含有量が０．１質量％未満では前記効果が十分ではなく、０．３質量％超だと押出性が低下し、さらに焼入れ感受性を高めて強度低下を招く。よって、Ｚｒ含有量は０．１～０．３質量％とする。
(Zr: 0.1 to 0.3% by mass)
Zr has the effect of suppressing recrystallization of an aluminum alloy extrusion material and improving stress corrosion cracking resistance. If the Zr content is less than 0.1 mass%, the above effect is insufficient, and if the Zr content is 0.3 mass%, If the Zr content exceeds 0.1 to 0.3 mass %, the extrudability decreases and the quenching sensitivity increases, resulting in a decrease in strength.
本発明の実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金押出材は、上記の成分組成を含み、本発明の１つの実施形態では、残部はアルミニウムおよび不可避不純物であることが好ましい。不可避不純物として、原料、資材、製造設備等の状況によって持ち込まれる元素の混入が許容される。なお、例えば、Ｆｅのように、通常、含有量が少ないほど好ましく、従って不可避不純物であるが、その組成範囲について上記のように別途規定している元素がある。このため、本明細書において、「不可避不純物」という場合は、別途その組成範囲が規定されている元素を除いた概念である。
不可避不純物としては、Ｍｎ、ＳｉおよびＣｒなどが挙げられ、ＭｎおよびＣｒを除くものについては、単体で０．０５質量％以下とすることが好ましい。Ｃｒについては、Ｃｒ含有量が多いと押出工程において焼き付きが発生しやすくなるため、０．１２質量％以下とすることが好ましい。また、Ｍｎについては、Ｍｎ含有量が多いと押出圧力を増大させて押出性を低下させるおそれがあるため、０．０５質量％未満とすることが好ましい。また、不可避不純物は総量で０．２０質量％以下することが好ましい。
The aluminum alloy extrusion material according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably contains the above-mentioned composition, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the balance is preferably aluminum and inevitable impurities. As inevitable impurities, the inclusion of elements brought in due to the conditions of raw materials, materials, manufacturing facilities, etc. is permitted. Note that, for example, there are elements such as Fe, which are usually preferable to have a smaller content and therefore are inevitable impurities, but whose composition ranges are separately specified as above. For this reason, in this specification, when the term "unavoidable impurities" is used, it is a concept excluding elements whose composition ranges are separately specified.
Examples of unavoidable impurities include Mn, Si, and Cr, and the content of those other than Mn and Cr is preferably 0.05% by mass or less. For Cr, a high Cr content is likely to cause seizure during the extrusion process, so the content is preferably 0.12% by mass or less. For Mn, a high Mn content may increase the extrusion pressure and reduce extrudability, so the content is preferably less than 0.05% by mass. In addition, the total amount of unavoidable impurities is preferably 0.20% by mass or less.
（Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比が２．９２～４．３５または８．９４～９．１２）
本発明者らは、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比が耐力に影響することを見出した。図１にＺｎ／Ｍｇの質量比に対する耐力の関係を示し、ドットパターンで示される領域は耐力が２６０ＭＰａ以上である領域を示す。図１からわかるように、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比が５付近では、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ原子比（モル比）がＭｇＺｎ２の組成比である２付近となり、その場合に耐力が最大となる。換言すると、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比が約５の場合を基準として、高Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ比側および低Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ比側では耐力が低下し、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比が２．９２～９．１２であれば、電池パックフレームなどのフレーム材として十分な強度（耐力２６０ＭＰａ以上）にでき、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比が３．１５～８．３２であれば、より高強度（耐力２７０ＭＰａ以上）にできる。
さらに、本発明者らは、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比が耐応力腐食割れ性にも影響することを見出した。図２にＺｎ／Ｍｇの質量比に対する、耐応力腐食割れ性を指標となるクロム酸促進試験による割れ寿命の関係を示し、ドットパターンで示される領域は割れ寿命が１２．５時間以上である領域を示す。図２からわかるように、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比が４．３５以下と小さいか、または８．９４以上と大きい場合に、クロム酸促進試験による割れ寿命が１２．５時間以上となって耐応力腐食割れ性を改善でき、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比を４．００以下または９．７４以上とすることにより、クロム酸促進試験による割れ寿命が１４時間以上となって耐応力腐食割れ性をさらに改善できる。
そして、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比を２．９２～４．３５または８．９４～９．１２とすることにより、フレーム材として十分な強度（例えば、強度の１つの指標である耐力（０．２％耐力）が２６０ＭＰａ以上）にできるとともに、耐応力腐食割れ性が改善された（具体的にはクロム酸促進試験による割れ寿命が１２．５時間以上の）アルミニウム合金押出材を実現した。なお、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比について、「８．９４～９．１２」の範囲よりも「２．９２～４．３５」の範囲の方が高い耐力で耐応力腐食割れ性が高まるため、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比は「２．９２～４．３５」とする方が好ましい。さらに、耐力２７０ＭＰａ以上にできるとともに、クロム酸促進試験による割れ寿命が１４時間以上のアルミニウム合金押出材を得るために、Ｚｎ／Ｍｇ質量比を３．１５～４．００とすることが好ましい。
(Zn/Mg mass ratio is 2.92 to 4.35 or 8.94 to 9.12)
The inventors have found that the mass ratio of Zn/Mg affects the yield strength. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the yield strength and the mass ratio of Zn/Mg, and the dot pattern indicates the region where the yield strength is 260 MPa or more. As can be seen from FIG. 1, when the Zn/Mg mass ratio is around 5, the Zn/Mg atomic ratio (molar ratio) is around 2, which is the composition ratio of MgZn 2 , and in that case the yield strength is maximum. In other words, with the Zn/Mg mass ratio being about 5 as the standard, the yield strength decreases on the high Zn/Mg ratio side and the low Zn/Mg ratio side, and if the Zn/Mg mass ratio is 2.92 to 9.12, it can be made strong enough (
Furthermore, the inventors have found that the mass ratio of Zn/Mg also affects stress corrosion cracking resistance. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the mass ratio of Zn/Mg and the cracking life in a chromic acid accelerated test, which is an index of stress corrosion cracking resistance, and the area shown by the dot pattern indicates the area where the cracking life is 12.5 hours or more. As can be seen from Figure 2, when the mass ratio of Zn/Mg is small, 4.35 or less, or large, 8.94 or more, the cracking life in a chromic acid accelerated test is 12.5 hours or more, and the stress corrosion cracking resistance can be improved, and by setting the mass ratio of Zn/Mg to 4.00 or less or 9.74 or more, the cracking life in a chromic acid accelerated test is 14 hours or more, and the stress corrosion cracking resistance can be further improved.
By setting the mass ratio of Zn/Mg to 2.92 to 4.35 or 8.94 to 9.12, an aluminum alloy extrusion material having sufficient strength as a frame material (for example, a proof stress (0.2% proof stress), which is an index of strength, of 260 MPa or more) and improved stress corrosion cracking resistance (specifically, a cracking life of 12.5 hours or more in a chromic acid accelerated test) was realized. Note that, regarding the mass ratio of Zn/Mg, a range of "2.92 to 4.35" has a higher proof stress and improved stress corrosion cracking resistance than a range of "8.94 to 9.12", so the mass ratio of Zn/Mg is preferably set to "2.92 to 4.35". Furthermore, in order to obtain an aluminum alloy extrusion material having a proof stress of 270 MPa or more and a cracking life of 14 hours or more in a chromic acid accelerated test, the Zn/Mg mass ratio is preferably set to 3.15 to 4.00.

Furthermore, the method for producing the aluminum alloy extrusion material according to the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited in terms of achieving the object of the present invention, and it can be produced by any known method.
本発明の実施形態に係るアルミニウム合金押出材は、一般的な人工時効処理によって、耐力を２６０ＭＰａ以上にできる。より好ましくは耐力が２７０ＭＰａ以上であることである。また、一般的な人工時効処理後の引張強度は３３０ＭＰａ以上であることが好ましく、一般的な人工時効処理後の伸びは１０％以上であることが好ましく１１％以上であることがより好ましい。 The aluminum alloy extrusion material according to the embodiment of the present invention can have a yield strength of 260 MPa or more by a general artificial aging treatment. More preferably, the yield strength is 270 MPa or more.

以下、実施例を挙げて本発明の実施形態をより具体的に説明する。本発明の実施形態は以下の実施例によって制限を受けるものではなく、前述および後述する趣旨に合致し得る範囲で、適宜変更を加えて実施することも可能であり、それらはいずれも本発明の実施形態の技術的範囲に包含される。 The following provides a more detailed explanation of the embodiments of the present invention, using examples. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following examples, and may be modified as appropriate within the scope of the intent described above and below, and all such modifications are within the technical scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
表１に示す成分組成のアルミニウム合金ビレットＡを造塊し、４７０℃６時間の均質化処理を行った。室温まで空冷した後、ビレット温度４８０℃、ダイス温度４５０℃、コンテナ温度４５０℃、押出比６０．９、押出速度４ｍ／分で押出加工を行い、断面形状を厚さ３ｍｍ、幅１１０ｍｍの平板とした。その後、人工時効処理として、一般的な７０００系アルミニウム合金のＴ７条件である７０℃×５時間＋１６５℃×６時間の熱処理を行った。得られたアルミニウム合金押出材に対して、以下に示す引張試験および耐応力腐食割れ性試験を行った。 Aluminum alloy billet A with the composition shown in Table 1 was cast and homogenized at 470°C for 6 hours. After air cooling to room temperature, it was extruded at a billet temperature of 480°C, a die temperature of 450°C, a container temperature of 450°C, an extrusion ratio of 60.9, and an extrusion speed of 4 m/min to produce a flat plate with a cross-sectional shape of 3 mm thickness and 110 mm width. Then, as artificial aging treatment, it was heat treated at 70°C for 5 hours + 165°C for 6 hours, which is the T7 condition for general 7000 series aluminum alloys. The obtained aluminum alloy extrusion material was subjected to the tensile test and stress corrosion cracking resistance test shown below.
＜引張試験＞
アルミニウム合金押出材からＪＩＳ１３Ｂの試験片を引張方向が押出方向（Ｌ方向）と平行になるように各２本切出し、ＪＩＳＺ２２４１に規定する金属材料試験方法に準じて引張試験を行い、引張強さ、耐力および伸びを測定した。
<Tensile test>
Two JIS 13B test pieces were cut out from each aluminum alloy extrusion so that the tensile direction was parallel to the extrusion direction (L direction), and tensile tests were conducted in accordance with the metal material testing method specified in JIS Z2241 to measure tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation.
＜耐応力腐食割れ性試験（クロム酸促進試験）＞
アルミニウム合金押出材に応力を３点曲げ方式にて負荷した。応力負荷方向は横方向（ＬＴ方向）で、負荷応力水準は、それぞれの人工時効処理後の耐力に対して１００％を負荷した。その後、各２本ずつクロム酸沸騰溶液中に浸漬して２時間おきに１６時間まで目視観察を行い、いずれも割れが生じなかった最長時間を割れ寿命とした。表２に結果を示す。なお、１６時間経過後も割れが認められなかったものは、割れ寿命の欄に「１６」と記載した。
<Stress corrosion cracking resistance test (accelerated chromate test)>
Stress was applied to the aluminum alloy extrusions using a three-point bending method. The stress was applied in the transverse direction (LT direction), and the applied stress level was 100% of the yield strength after each artificial aging treatment. Then, two pieces of each were immersed in a boiling chromic acid solution and visually observed every two hours for up to 16 hours, and the longest time during which no cracks occurred was recorded as the crack life. The results are shown in Table 2. Those that did not show any cracks even after 16 hours were recorded as "16" in the crack life column.
表２の結果より、次のように考察できる。表２の試験Ｎｏ．１は、いずれも本発明の実施形態で規定する要件を満足しており、フレーム材として十分な強度（耐力２６０ＭＰａ以上）を有するとともに、割れ寿命が少なくとも１２．５時間以上であり、耐応力腐食割れ性が改善されていた。
一方、表２の試験Ｎｏ．２～６は、いずれも本発明の実施形態で規定する要件（Ｚｎ／Ｍｇの質量比２．９２～４．３５または８．９４～９．１２）を満たしておらず、耐力が２６０ＭＰａ未満であるか、または割れ寿命が１２．５時間未満であった。
From the results in Table 2, the following can be considered: All of the test No. 1 in Table 2 satisfied the requirements stipulated in the embodiment of the present invention, and had sufficient strength (yield strength of 260 MPa or more) as a frame material, and the crack life was at least 12.5 hours or more, and the stress corrosion cracking resistance was improved.
On the other hand, Test Nos. 2 to 6 in Table 2 did not meet the requirements (Zn/Mg mass ratio of 2.92 to 4.35 or 8.94 to 9.12) specified in the embodiment of the present invention, and the yield strength was less than 260 MPa or the crack life was less than 12.5 hours.
