The invention discloses an Al-Li-Ta aluminum and
lithium alloy and a
machining technology thereof. The Al-Li-Ta aluminum and
lithium alloy is smelted at the temperature of 700-800 DEG C and has a
combustion resistant property. The Al-Li-Ta
alloy is composed of, by weight, 2.0-6.0% of Li, 1.0-2.0% of Ta, 2.0-8.0% of Sr, 1.0-4.0% of In, 0.2-0.6% of Gd, 0.2-0.4% of Dy, 0.1-0.2% of Ho, 1.0-2.5% of B and the balance aluminum. By adopting the optimized alloying method, the utilization amount of the alloy elements can be reduced greatly, a very good
combustion resistant effect can be achieved, and the
combustion point of the alloy rises sharply while the content of the combustion resistant elements is reduced obviously. The purpose that the alloy can be subjected to heat preservation and standingfor 5 hours without obvious combustion under the
atmosphere environment within the range of 700-800 DEG C. The alloy material has the
mechanical property of a traditional aluminum and
lithium alloy,the yield strength is 400-650 MPa, the tensile strength is 500-750 MPa, and the
ductility is 4-15%. Meanwhile, the alloy has the
high heat conductivity property which the traditional aluminum and lithium alloy does not have, the heat
conductivity coefficient is 120-140W / m.K, while the heat
conductivity coefficient of the traditional aluminum and lithium alloy is about 85W / m.K.
