Heat treatment method for improving fatigue resistance of Al-Cu-Mg alloy

Abstract

A heat treatment method for improving fatigue resistance of Al-Cu-Mg alloy comprises: performing high-temperature short-time (505-535 DEG C/1-25 min) solution hardening treatment on cold-rolled sheets, then performing natural aging at room temperature for 96 h or more. The aluminium alloy capable of being treated by the heat treatment method comprise the components: Cu, Mg, Ti and Al. The technology is simple and reasonable; and through high-temperature short-time solution hardening treatment, the alloy obtains relatively high goss texture components. Because most of crystal faces {111} of crystal grains in the alloy with high goss texture is positioned or close to the direction of the maximum external shearing stress, the reciprocating sliding of dislocation is promoted and a persistent slip band is easy to generate in the alloy, and thus the plasticity induction closure effect of fatigue crack is enhanced and the damage accumulation is reduced, also the crack deflection is promoted, and thus the fatigue crack spreading rate of the alloy is reduced and the fatigue resistance of the alloy is improved.

Problems solved by technology

Studies have shown that the alloy can eliminate the dislocation entanglement in the cold-rolled state through solid solution. The conventional solution temperature of Al-Cu-Mg alloy is generally 490-500°C and the time is 0.5-2h, which can effectively eliminate the dislocation entanglement in the cold-rolled state. Dislocation entanglement configuration, however, with this treatment, the alloy will undergo complete rec
