The invention discloses an Al-Mg-Zn aluminum
alloy plate with excellent strong
plasticity and light weight characteristics as well as a preparation method and application of the Al-Mg-Zn aluminum
alloy plate. The
alloy comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 5.0%-5.5% of Mg, 1.5%-2.0% of Zn, 0.4%-0.5% of Mn, 0.1%-0.3% of Cu, 0.15%-0.25% of Sc, 0.1%-0.15% of Zr, 0.05%-0.15% of Ag, less than or equal to 0.1% of impurities and the balance of Al. The density is not more than 2.63 g / cm < 3 >, the tensile strength is not less than 470 MPa, and the
ductility is not less than 23%. The preparation method comprises the steps of high-purity
raw material smelting and
casting, two-stage homogenization, hot rolling, intermediate annealing, cold rolling,
solid solution treatment and single-stage aging. Wherein the total pressing amount of hot rolling is 80-85%, the total pressing amount of cold rolling is 20-35%, and the single-stage aging time is 120-140 DEG C * 16-24 h. The
microstructure of the alloy is characterized in that the
average size of dispersed AlSc particles is smaller than or equal to 100 nm, the
area fraction of deformed grains is larger than or equal to 70%, the
average size of nanometer beta-AlMg and T-Mg (Al, Zn) composite precipitated phases is smaller than or equal to 20 nm, the
number density is larger than or equal to 1 * 10 < m >, the
area fraction of micron-order second phases is smaller than or equal to 0.5%, and the alloy is only formed by
impurity Fe. According to the method, the traditional two-stage aging process is simplified,
low density, high strength and high
plasticity are synchronously improved, and the method is suitable for large-scale industrial application.
