Obtaining Al–Zr-Hf wire using electromagnetic casting, combined rolling-extrusion, and drawing

The article presents the results of obtaining an aluminum electrical wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm from alloys of the Al–Zr-Hf system used in aircraft. Alloys of three compositions were cast in the form of a billet with a diameter of 12 mm using the method of electromagnetic crystallization. Next, the rheological characteristics of billets from experimental alloys were studied. The obtained data were used to simulate the process of combined rolling-extrusion when obtaining a rod with a diameter of 5 mm from a billet with a diameter of 12 mm using the Deform 3D program. A comparison of the experimental forces and forces during the simulation is made for the forces acting on the rolls and the die of the CRE-200 unit. At the next stage, experimental studies were carried out to obtain rods based on simulation data. The obtained rods with a diameter of 5 mm were subjected to drawing or sectional rolling with drawing and intermediate annealing to obtain a wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm. At all stages, the mechanical (ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation to failure and area reduction) and electrophysical properties (electrical resistivity) of the obtained deformed semi-finished products were studied.
