Problems solved by technology

At present, the forming process of aluminum alloy components takes only a few minutes, while the aging treatment takes several hours or even more than ten hours. The time gap between the forming and aging processes is too large, and the two cannot be carried out simultaneously.
In addition, aging requires heat treatment furnaces with high energy consumption and high pollution, resulting in high cost of large-scale production, long cycle, large equipment footprint, and energy and environmental problems at the same time

Abstract

The invention discloses an electromagnetic pulse fast solution-aging process for an aluminum alloy component. The electromagnetic pulse fast solution-aging process comprises the following steps that S1, firstly, the aluminum alloy component or a blank is put in a pulsed electric field, electrified and heated to solution temperature or above, thus the second phase of the aluminum alloy component orthe blank is dissolved fast, then the aluminum alloy component or the blank is cooled rapidly to indoor temperature with the rate larger than or equal to 80 DEG C / s, and supersaturated solid solutionis formed; and S2, the aluminum alloy component or the blank obtained after solution treatment is put in a pulsed magnet field, magnetic pulse fast aging treatment is conducted, aging treatment timeis 1-12 h, solute atoms obtained after solution treatment are nucleated and precipitated from a substrate, and a precipitated phase in dispersed distribution is formed. Fast solution-fast aging treatment can be conducted, thus comprehensive performance of the aluminum alloy component is promoted, and the purposes of energy saving and environmental protection are achieved.
