Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving the intergranular corrosion performance of an Al-Cu-Mg aluminium alloy. The method includes the steps that (1) an Al-Cu-Mg aluminium alloy ingot is cast;and (2) homogenizing treatment is conducted on the cast ingot. According to the technical scheme, the problem of dispersed phase precipitation is overcome by homogenizing heat treatment, and a fine, uniform and dispersed AlCuMn phase can be precipitated in a matrix within short homogenizing time; and by low temperature short-time treatment, the dendritic structure in the microstructure is eliminated, meanwhile a small amount of coarse phases remaining in the microstructure are controlled, the aluminum matrix is in the state of undersaturation in solid solution, the quenching sensitivity of materials is reduced, the precipitation of nanoscale second phases at the material grain boundary is inhibited after solid solution, and the effects of improving the production efficiency and improving the intergranular corrosion resistance of a product are obtained. The method is suitable for industrial production of large cast ingots, has good operability, can shorten the time of homogenizing heattreatment and saves energy consumption of heat treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a homogenization heat treatment method for alloys, in particular to a method for improving the intergranular corrosion performance of Al-Cu-Mg aluminum alloys. Background technique [0002] As aircraft manufacturing has changed from purely emphasizing static strength to fatigue and modern damage tolerance design, the requirements for structural materials have gradually evolved from only emphasizing strength to emphasizing the comprehensive performance of toughness, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. Al-Cu-Mg series alloy is an aluminum alloy with Cu as the main alloying element. This series of aluminum alloy is characterized by high strength, excellent heat resistance and processing performance, but its corrosion resistance is inferior to other aluminum alloys. Under certain conditions intergranular corrosion will occur. Since the 1970s, through alloying, improving purity and improving heat treatment, a series of new...
