Abstract

The invention relates to a homogenization heat treatment method of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr aluminum alloy. The homogenization heat treatment method of the Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr aluminum alloy is characterized in that a three-level homogenization heat treatment process for controlling a heating process is used for homogenization heat treatment, and the homogenization heat treatment method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out low-temperature pre-precipitation, and carrying out a first-level homogenization heat treatment process for promoting precipitation of Al3Zr as a dispersed phase; (2) insulating, and carrying out a second-level homogenization heat treatment process for increasing the overburnt temperature of a structure; and (3) carrying out a long-term uniform insulating process, and carrying out a third-level homogenization heat treatment process for eliminating high-melting-point Al2CuMg. By the heat treatment process, the problem of insufficient soaking in large cast ingots of 7xxx series aluminum alloy can be solved well, a coarse phase does not dissolve in a microscopic structure, an S phase is fully re-dissolved, and meanwhile, uniform precipitation of Al3Zr as the dispersed phase can be regulated and controlled. More importantly, the homogenization heat treatment method is suitable for industrial production of large cast ingots, and has good operability; meanwhile, homogenization heat treatment time can be shortened; and energy consumption of heat treatment is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] A homogenization heat treatment method for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr aluminum alloy, in particular to a three-stage homogenization heat treatment method for Al-Zn-Mg-Cu-Zr aluminum alloy with controlled temperature rise process. Background technique [0002] Al-Zn-Mg-Cu ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys have the advantages of high specific strength and hardness, good processability, good corrosion resistance and high toughness, and are widely used in the aerospace field. In recent years, in order to reduce costs, integral structural parts are often used in the aviation industry to replace assemblies composed of a large number of die forgings or extrusions. This broadens the market for the application of aluminum alloy thick plates in the aviation industry, and at the same time puts forward higher requirements for the production technology level of large-scale aluminum alloy ingots. Due to the high alloying degree of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy, the dendrite seg...
