The invention provides a 2xxx series aluminum
alloy with high strength and high
plasticity and a manufacturing method thereof. The aluminum
alloy of the invention comprises the following components: 3.8-4.6wt% of Cu, 1.32-1.56wt% of Mg, 0.5-0.7wt% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.15wt% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.25wt% of Zn, less than or equal to 0.10wt% of Cr, less than or equal to 0.2wt% of Si and less than or equal to 0.2wt% of Fe. The manufacturing method of the aluminum
alloy of the invention comprises the following steps: firstly, adding an aluminum
ingot into a resistance furnace; when the
melt temperature is 740-760 DEG C, adding AlCu50, AlMn10 and AlCr5 intermediate alloys, and stirring; after the temperature falls to 720-730 DEG C, adding Mg and Zn, removing
slag and refining; when the temperature is 730-740 DEG C, adding Al-5Ti-B, stirring and standing for 10-25 minutes and then
casting and forming; homogenizing and annealing the cast
ingot at 500 DEG C for 24h, and then, extruding the cast
ingot at 400-490 DEG C; carrying out
solid solution on the extruded material at 490-500 DEG C for 1-2 hours; and carrying out water
quenching, and putting the material at
room temperature to T4 state to obtain a board. By reasonably adjusting the contents of Cu and Mg in the aluminum alloy, the material has better comprehensive mechanical properties and is an ideal material for manufacturing
aviation components.
