Problems solved by technology

However, this lower forming stress also limits the forming ability of this method, and the creep amount is generally less than 1% under the commonly used aging system for aluminum alloys.
However, the actual aerospace integral panel components, such as wing panels, aircraft doors and other integral panel components, often have complex variable curvature surfaces or large curvature shapes, and it is difficult for these components to be formed at one time by creep aging. Weaken the advantages of creep aging technology in terms of production cost and cycle time

Abstract

The invention discloses an age hardenable aluminum alloy integral panel one-step forming method based on an autoclave. The method includes the steps: firstly, fixing an aluminum alloy plate blank on a forming die, and placing the aluminum alloy plate blank into the autoclave after the aluminum alloy plate blank and the forming die are sealed in a vacuum manner; secondly, providing temperature needed by aluminum alloy aging and pressure needed by component laminating inside the autoclave, and enabling heavy-curvature portion materials to reach yield limit and enter a creep aging stage by keeping a laminating state after plastic deformation. Internal stress distribution is adjusted by local plastic deformation, so that the problem of non-uniform performance caused by internal stress difference in the creep aging process can be eliminated, production cycle and rebound are decreased by combining plastic deformation with creep deformation, and the height of the die can be decreased. The process method can be implemented in the autoclave with enough capacity, the highest working pressure is not lower than 10Bar, and the using temperature can range from 100 DEG C to 200 DEG C. The method is simple and convenient to operate, can be implemented only by one set of female die and has an actual industrial production application value, a tool is simple, and cost is saved.
