Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy deformation-solid solution heat treatment technology

Abstract

The invention relates to an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy deformation-solid solution heat treatment technology, which comprises the following steps: (1) pre-deformation, wherein the temperature range of pre-deformation is 400 DEG C - 420 DEG C, the deflection amount is 10% - 95%; (2) pre-solid solution, wherein the temperature range of pre-solid solution is 440 DEG C - 480 DEG C, the insulation timeis 30 - 120 minutes; (3) re-deformation, wherein the temperature range of pre-deformation is 400 DEG C - 420 DEG C, the deflection amount is 10% - 95%; (4) solid solution for short time, wherein the temperature range of solid solution is 470 DEG C - 485 DEG C, the solid solution time is 10 - 30 minutes. According to the invention, the deformation and solid solution are carried out alternatively,which avoids the problem that high dislocation concentration generated in the deformation process of single deformation-solid solution leads to the recrystallization of a substrate; the temperature of the pre-solid solution is higher than the general annealing temperature, the pre-solid solution process after pre-deforming reduces the dislocation concentration introduced by deformation through replying and performs a solid solution to most crystallization phases; the pre-solid solution for short time is performed again for dissolving the residual crystallization phases and inhibiting the crystallization of alloys. The invention has the advantages of simple process and convenient operation, and effectively reduces crystallization phases and re-crystallization of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu system superhigh strength aluminum alloy, the alloy strength, plasticity and fracture toughness of the alloy after quenching and aging are substantially raised; the technology provided in the invention has significance to the development of the aerospace and traffic transportation fields, and is suitable for an industrial application.
