Problems solved by technology

The degree of supersaturation of the solid solution obtained after the alloy is quenched has a decisive effect on the effect of aging strengthening, so it causes the problem of quenching sensitivity of the alloy, that is, the decrease of the quenching rate leads to the decrease of the mechanical properties of the alloy
This problem is particularly prominent for large-scale components, because the core is difficult to obtain sufficient cooling rate under conventional cooling conditio...

Abstract

The invention discloses a low quenching sensitive aluminum alloy added with Ag and Ge at the same time. The aluminum alloy is subjected to alloying treatment of trace Ag and Ge elements. On the one hand, the Ag and a vacancy have higher binding energy by using the characteristic that the binding energy of the Ge element and the vacancy is far greater than that of elements such as Zn, Mg, Cu and the like and the vacancy, and the Ge and Ag elements added into the alloy are first bond with the vacancy during solid solution quenching so as to prevent the dispersion of solvent atoms of Zn, Mg, Cu and the like in the alloy and the separation of a thick second phase at a low solid solution quenching speed, effectively improve the quenching property of the aluminum alloy, reduce the quenching sensitivity of the aluminum alloy and provide a complete solid solution quenching tissue for obtaining a dispersed strengthening phase for follow-up ageing; and on the other hand, the added Ag can play a role in reinforcement when the Ge is added by using the effect that the Ag can produce solid solution reinforcement and separation promotion in the aluminum alloy. A low quenching sensitive aluminum alloy structural material is provided for large-scale thick plates and large members in aerospace and other fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a low-quenching-sensitivity aluminum alloy, in particular to a low-quenching-sensitivity aluminum alloy simultaneously added with Ag and Ge; it belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal alloying. Background technique [0002] High-strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy has the advantages of low density, high specific strength, hardness, good hot workability, corrosion resistance and fracture toughness. It is widely used in the aerospace field and is an important structural material in this field. one. This series of alloys is an aging-strengthenable alloy, and its high strength and hardness are mainly obtained through solid solution, quenching and aging. The supersaturation degree of the solid solution obtained after quenching of the alloy has a decisive effect on the aging strengthening effect, so it causes the quenching sensitivity of the alloy, that is, the decrease of the quenching rate leads to the decrease of the mechanical ...
