A380压铸铝合金汽车链接件断裂原因分析

Fracture Analysis of A380 Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy Connecting Component for Automobile

  • 摘要: 新能源轿车在路测阶段,A380压铸铝合金铰链发生断裂,通过宏观观察、CT扫描、断口分析、金相检查、成分分析及力学性能测试等多种手段,对链接件的失效原因进行了系统分析。研究发现,该链接件的失效模式为脆性沿晶断裂,存在轻微过烧组织特征,包括三角晶界、晶界加宽和晶界复熔现象,导致晶界弱化,材料抗拉强度仅为173MPa,远低于标准要求。同时,断口区域存在缩松缺陷,在应力集中位置充当裂纹源。失效机理为:热处理过程中的过烧导致晶界弱化,外力作用下应力集中于次表面缩松缺陷处形成裂纹源,裂纹沿弱化晶界快速扩展,最终导致零件断裂。研究结果强调了热处理工艺控制对压铸铝合金零件性能的关键影响。

     

    Abstract: During the road test phase of the new energy sedan, the A380 die cast aluminum alloy hinge broke. Through various methods such as macroscopic observation, CT scanning, fracture analysis, metallographic examination, composition analysis, and mechanical performance testing, a systematic analysis was conducted on the cause of the failure of the connecting parts. Research has found that the failure mode of the connecting component is brittle intergranular fracture, with slight over heating characteristics including triangular grain boundaries, grain boundary widening, and grain boundary remelting, resulting in weakened grain boundaries. The tensile strength of the material is only 173MPa, far below the standard requirements.. Additionally, shrinkage porosity defects were present in the fracture area, acting as crack initiation sites under stress concentration. The failure mechanism is as follows: overheating during heat treatment led to grain boundary weakening; under external force, stress concentrated at subsurface shrinkage porosity defects, forming crack initiation sites; cracks propagated rapidly along the weakened grain boundaries, ultimately leading to the fracture of the component. The research results emphasize the critical impact of heat treatment process control on the performance of die-cast aluminum alloy components.
