The invention discloses Ta-contained stress
corrosion-resistant Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu)
alloy and a preparation method thereof. The
alloy contains main alloying elements of Al-Zn-Mg or Al-Zn-Mg-Cu and microalloying elements of Zr, Ta, Fe and Si; moreover, a
mass ratio of the microalloying elements satisfies the conditions that Ta is larger than or equal to 0.1Zr and less than or equal to 0.5Zr, Si is larger than or equal to 0.1Zr and less than or equal to 0.3Zr, and Fe / Si is larger than or equal to 0.7 and less than or equal to 1.5; according to the preparation method of the Ta-contained stress
corrosion-resistant Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu)
alloy, after an
ingot metallurgy method is adopted for preparing the alloy, the alloy is subjected to homogenizing treatment, deformation treatment and
solid solution waterquenching, and then artificial
ageing is conducted. According to the Ta-contained stress
corrosion-resistant Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu) alloy and the preparation method thereof, a multielement microalloying methodis adopted, cooperation of the multielement microalloying elements is strictly controlled to form a multielement coherent dispersed phase, recrystallization is completely inhibited, the microalloyingelements are used for improving the corrosion resistance effect of
aluminium alloy passive film, high strength and good corrosion resistance performance are combined, and the problem that the strength and the corrosion resistance of existing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu ultrahigh-strength
aluminium alloy cannot be achieved at the same time is solved; the preparation method of the Ta-contained stress corrosion-resistant Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu) alloy is simple in technology, and the Ta-contained stress corrosion-resistant Al-Zn-Mg-(Cu) alloy is suitable for industrialized production.
