The invention relates to the technical field of
metal materials, in particular to a high-strength aluminum
alloy and a
casting method and a heat treatment method thereof. The high-strength aluminum
alloy comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 4.8%-5.2% of Cu, 0.6%-1.0% of Mn, 0.15%-0.18% of Ni, 0.25%-0.45% of Mg, 0.25%-0.35% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.15% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.15% of Si, less than or equal to 0.2% of Zn and the balance of aluminum and impurities, and the impurities are less than or equal to 0.1. According to the method, on the basis of high-strength aluminum
alloy of an A206 alloy aluminum-
copper-
manganese-
magnesium system, the content of elements such as Cu, Mg, Ni and Mn is accurately controlled, and an optimized
solid solution-aging process is combined, so that a theta phase (an
equilibrium phase and inhibited), an S phase (a main strengthening phase), a T phase (a high-temperature strengthening phase) and a sigma phase (a structure
stable phase) form an ordered multi-phase
system. All phases compete for solutes and have complementary functions, and high strength, excellent
castability and wide temperature range stability which are difficult to consider by a traditional aluminum alloy are finally realized through a
synergistic mechanism of'intragranular dispersion strengthening and
grain boundary stability strengthening '.
