Problems solved by technology

However, in practical applications, the processing methods for this type of aluminum alloy include pre-deformation-solution quenching-final deformation-artificial aging and other links. Among them, the heat treatment of aluminum alloy formed components is difficult, which easily leads to secondary deformation and decline in service performance. The scope of application is limited

Embodiment example 1

[0026] Take 2 groups of tensile samples (two samples in each group) for solution quenching treatment, and keep the samples in a heating furnace at a temperature of 535°C for 40min. Then double-stage aging treatment, wherein the pre-aging temperature is 140°C, the pre-aging time is 2h, the final aging temperature is 180°C, and the final aging time is 6h. The last group of samples was placed into the mold for electromagnetic uniaxial stretching, with a discharge energy of 10.63kJ and a deformation of 20%. Throughout the process see Figure 6 shown. The aluminum alloy member processed and formed was tested, and its tensile strength was 441MPa, and its elongation after fracture was 21%. Prior Art The 2219 aluminum alloy studied by An Lihui et al.
