Problems solved by technology

However, the three-stage aging system also has fatal shortcomings. One is that the electrical conductivity is lower than that of T73 and T76 states, and low electrical conductivity means lower stress corrosion resistance; the second is that the aging process is too complicated, which is not conducive to large-scale industrial production. application
[0005] In order to overcome the three-stage aging system (RRA) and the low electrical conductivity after T76 treatment and the low strength after T73 treatment, and at the same time considering the applicability of industrial production, it is urgent to develop a new aging treatment process to ensure the conductivity of the alloy. Improve the tensile strength and toughness of the alloy under the premise that the rate and exfoliation corrosion resistance do not decrease or the decrease is small

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum alloy and a heat treatment process, in particular to an exfoliation corrosion-resistant high-strength aluminum-zinc-magnesium-copper alloy and a heat treatment process, and belongs to the technical field of nonferrous metal materials. Background technique [0002] Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy is one of the important structural materials in the field of aviation and aerospace. This alloy has a tendency to exfoliate and corrode during long-term use, which will cause great damage to the strength, plasticity, and fatigue properties of the alloy. Serious Shorten the service life of aluminum alloy. [0003] Exfoliation corrosion has the characteristics of intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion, and its corrosion rate is controlled by alloy composition and grain boundary equilibrium phase distribution. In Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy, the higher copper content in the grain boundary equilibrium phase is beneficial to the improvement of th...
