Principles and advantages
The corrosion-resistant zinc alloy is formed by adding a proper amount of copper, nickel, titanium, beryllium and rare earth elements on the basis of industrial pure Zn, has good corrosion resistance, and can be used for hardware, bathrooms, decoration and the like containing Cl-In a humid environment. The deformed zinc alloy material for hardware not only requires excellent molding and machining characteristics, but also requires good corrosion resistance in a humid environment.
According to the invention, a proper amount of Be is added into the zinc alloy, so that slag can Be reduced, the purity is improved, and the fluidity is improved during smelting; after the alloy is obtained, the added Be can form a layer of compact protective oxidation film on the surface of the alloy, and can reduce the oxidation and corrosion of the surface of the Zn alloy at room temperature. Meanwhile, Be in the alloy can change the shape of an intermetallic compound of a brittle impurity Fe, so that the strength and the plasticity of the alloy are improved.
According to the invention, a proper amount of Ni element is selected and added, and the cathode reaction of electrochemical corrosion can Be inhibited through the synergistic effect of Ni and Be, so that a corrosion product is changed, and a compact basic chlorination product film is formed, and the film has poor conductivity, thereby blocking the further corrosion of the zinc alloy.
In the invention, the addition of a proper amount of rare earth elements can refine the matrix structure and reduce the number of dendrites and the dendrite spacing; rare earths can also act with impurities that segregate at grain boundaries to mitigate segregation. Rare earth Ce can obviously refine as-cast structure, and improve the mechanical property and the local corrosion resistance of the alloy; la can refine the primary phase alpha phase of the zinc alloy, improve the appearance and distribution of the phase and improve the plasticity and strength performance of the alloy. The heat treatment of 350 ℃/2.5h is carried out on the alloy, so that the segregation of alloy components is reduced, the structure is more stable, and the corrosion resistance is improved.
Compared with the prior zinc-copper-titanium alloy, the invention has the following advantages and effects:
(1) the preparation process is simple and convenient: beryllium bronze and Zn-Ni-Ti ternary intermediate alloy are added into pure zinc, and zinc foil is used for coating rare earth elements for graded mixed smelting, so that the operation is convenient, and the components can be ensured to be uniform and stable.
(2) The corrosion resistance is excellent: ni and Be are added to form a compact film, so that the contact between a corrosive medium and the surface of a material can Be hindered, and the further development of corrosion can Be inhibited. Electrochemical experiments were conducted in tap water and 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, respectively, and the corrosion potential of the alloy of the present invention became positive, and the corrosion current density became significantly smaller, meaning that the corrosion rate was greatly reduced.
(3) The comprehensive performance is good: by adding a proper amount of rare earth elements, the alloy structure is refined, so that the corrosion resistance of the alloy is obviously improved, and the alloy also has good mechanical properties. Test results show that the alloy of the invention is subjected to homogenization heat treatment at 350 ℃/2.5h in an as-cast state, the tensile strength reaches more than 120MPa, and the elongation reaches more than 8%; after thermal deformation and annealing treatment at 170-220 ℃/6h for certain times, the tensile strength can reach more than 220MPa, and the elongation can reach more than 35%.
Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention will be further specifically described below by way of examples. It should be noted that the following examples and comparative examples are only illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims of the present invention.
Examples and comparative examples
Placing the prepared electrolytic copper, beryllium bronze and Zn-Ni-Ti ternary intermediate alloy at the bottom of a high-purity graphite crucible, placing the prepared pure zinc on the electrolytic copper, beryllium bronze and Zn-Ni-Ti ternary intermediate alloy, then placing the graphite crucible into a medium-frequency induction furnace, heating to the temperature of 900-1000 ℃, uniformly stirring after the electrolytic copper, beryllium bronze and Zn-Ni-Ti ternary intermediate alloy are completely melted, cooling to 800-850 ℃, then packaging the prepared lanthanum-cerium mixed rare earth by using a zinc foil, placing the zinc foil into a smelting furnace, smelting, standing, and casting into a steel mold after the temperature of a melt is reduced to 680-720 ℃ to obtain an ingot. Then the alloy is subjected to homogenization heat treatment at 350 ℃/2.5 h. And finally, sampling the alloy and performing an electrochemical corrosion experiment.
The alloy compositions of the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1, and the data of the electrochemical corrosion test are shown in Table 2.
Table 1 alloy compositions (wt.%) of examples and comparative examples
TABLE 2 electrochemical corrosion Performance parameters of the examples and comparative examples
As can be seen from the data in Table 2, examples 1, 2 and 3 all achieved better corrosion resistance with the optimized alloying ratio of the present invention. Comparative example 1 is more susceptible to corrosion because of the lack of Ni in the alloy composition, which has a corrosion potential negative than that of examples 1 and 2; after the corrosion started, the corrosion current density increased greatly, with comparative example 1 having a corrosion rate in tap water of about 8.9 times that of example 1 and a corrosion rate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution of 6.8 times. From the comparison, it is understood that the addition of Ni element can improve the corrosion resistance of the zinc alloy because Ni element suppresses the electrochemical cathode reaction, promotes the formation of basic zinc chloride film, and further inhibits the corrosion of the zinc alloy.
The alloy formulation of comparative example 2 lacks Be, the corrosion potential becomes negative, the corrosion rate in tap water is about 7.8 times that of example 1, and the corrosion rate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution is 5.9 times. From the comparison, the addition of the Be element can improve the corrosion resistance of the zinc alloy, because the Be can form a dense protective oxide film on the surface of the alloy, and can reduce the oxidation and corrosion of the surface of the Zn alloy at room temperature.
The alloy formulation of comparative example 3 lacks rare earth elements and the corrosion potential becomes negative, with a corrosion rate in tap water of about 3.7 times that of example 1 and a corrosion rate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution of 4.1 times. The rare earth elements mainly play the roles of grain refinement and melt purification in the zinc alloy.
The alloy formulation of comparative example 4 lacks Ni and Be, the corrosion potential becomes negative, and the corrosion rate in tap water is about 8.9 times that of example 1, and the corrosion rate in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution is 7.6 times, and it is mainly illustrated by example 1 and comparative examples 1, 2, and 4 that Ni and Be may have synergistic effects.
The comparison between the example 1 and the examples 2 and 3 shows that after the components are optimized, the corrosion resistance of the product obtained in the example 1 is better than that of the products obtained in the examples 2 and 3.
Therefore, the corrosion-resistant zinc alloy has a positive corrosion potential, is not easy to corrode, has a low corrosion rate after corrosion occurs, and greatly reduces the aging process of materials due to corrosion, thereby providing an effective technical approach for developing new products.
