Problems solved by technology

Among many types of aluminum-lithium alloys, deformed aluminum-lithium alloys are widely used in aerospace and other fields due to their advantages such as high strength and good plasticity. However, deformed aluminum-lithium alloys have the following problems: many production processes, serious anisotropy problems, and The application of deformed aluminum-lithium alloys is limited by the shape of parts, and some parts can only be produced by casting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop cast aluminum-lithium alloys with excellent casting performance and mechanical properties and low cost.
The above Chinese patents either add high lithium content, or add high-cost rare earth elements Ce or Sc, which ultimately increase the production cost of cast aluminum-lithium alloys

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-strength casting aluminum-lithium-copper-zinc alloy with low lithium content and a preparation method thereof. The alloy includes the following components in mass percentage: Li: 1-2%, Cu: 3-5%, Zn: 1.05-5%, Mg: 0.5-1%, Ag: 0.1-0.5%, Mn: 0.1 ~0.3%, Zr: 0.1~0.3%, Ti: 0.05~0.1%, and the balance is Al. The preparation method is as follows: according to the designed distribution ratio of the aluminum alloy components, weigh each component, first melt the other components except the lithium source according to the designed sequence, and then compress the pure lithium into the alloy melt, degassed and slag-removed, refined, left to stand and cast, and then subjected to homogenization annealing and solid solution aging treatment. The invention prepares a product with superior performance than the traditional commercial casting aluminum alloy, and the product has the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, heat treatment strengthening and the like. At the same time, the cost is low.
