Patent CN104451272 B lightweight high-strength cast aluminum-lithium alloy and its preparation method, using a lower Cu / Al ratio is not conducive to the strengthening phase Al 2 The formation of CuLi phase; it adopts the conventional casting method, adding flux during the casting process, the purity of the alloy melt is low, and the plasticity of the alloy is poor
Patent CN 104313421 B relates to a preparation method of an aluminum-lithium alloy ingot, adding a relatively high proportion of Ag elements, which greatly increases the material cost; and it adds a certain amount of Mn elements, surrounding Al 6 Mn forms a grain boundary without precipitation zone, which is unfavorable to the plasticity of the alloy, and this phase can be used as A1 3 The nucleation catalyst of the Li phase further reduces the plasticity of the alloy
[0005] So far, aluminum-lithium alloy materials have problems of poor ductility and high cost. It is of great significance to seek a low-cost, high-strength and high-plasticity aluminum-lithium alloy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloys, and in particular relates to a high-strength and high-toughness aluminum-lithium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aluminum-lithium alloy is a light-weight, high-strength and corrosion-resistant metal structure material. For every 1% lithium added to the alloy, the density will decrease by 3%, which can increase the elastic modulus of the alloy while reducing the density of the alloy. It is used in aviation and aerospace fields. There are very broad application prospects. The use of aluminum-lithium alloys instead of conventional high-strength aluminum alloys can reduce the structural mass by 10% to 20%, increase the elastic modulus by 6%, and increase the stiffness by 15% to 20%. It is considered to be the most ideal structural material for aerospace. [0003] Lithium is the most active metal element in chemical properties. Adding lithium to aluminum ...
