Problems solved by technology

This process improves the comprehensive mechanical properties of the alloy, improves the corrosion resistance, and expands the application range of high-strength aluminum alloys. However, the three-stage aging treatment step of the invention is continuous, and the rough processing step is not included in the middle, so the aluminum alloy forging remains The stress and quenching residual stress cannot be fully released in time, resulting in poor fatigue performance and corrosion resistance of the final aluminum alloy. In addition, the mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy are also poor, and the production cycle is also long
[0007] The Australian CSIOR company has developed heat treatment technologies such as T6I6 and T6I4. Among them, the T6I6 treatment process includes three stages: first, the alloy is pre-aged at T6 temperature for a short time (generally 120 °C pre-aging for 80 minutes), so that the alloy is in an under-aged state. Secondary aging at lower temperature for a long time (generally at 60°C, 15d), and finally aging at T6 temperature (120°C, 18h), but the conductivity of the treated aluminum alloy is only about 31IACS%, and the corrosion resistance is very poor
