[0033] The composition of aluminum alloy is calculated by mass percentage: Cu4.0wt.%, Mg1.4wt.%, Mn0.5wt.%, Ti<0.1wt.%, Fe≤0.2wt.%, Si≤0.1wt.%, the balance for Al. Semi-continuous casting into flat ingots with a thickness of 45mm.

[0034] The process for homogenizing the aluminum alloy includes: heating the aluminum alloy from room temperature to 465° C. at a heating rate of 50° C. / h for 6 hours, and then cooling in air. After the ingot is soaked, hot rolling, cold rolling, intermediate annealing, solid solution and natural aging treatment are carried out to prepare plates. Before ingot hot rolling, preheat at a heating rate of 460°C / 3h, roll a 6-7mm thick plate from 40mm thickness, pass reduction 2-5mm, and control the hot rolling exit temperature above 300°C. The hot-rolled sheet is sequentially subjected to recrystallization annealing at 410°C / 45min, cold-rolled and thinned to 2mm, and then stress-relief annealed at 280°C / 60min. After the plate is subjected to high-temp...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for improving the intergranular corrosion performance of Al-Cu-Mg series aluminum alloy, which comprises: (1) casting the Al-Cu-Mg series aluminum alloy ingot; (2) homogenizing heat treatment for the cast ingot. The technical scheme provided by the present invention overcomes the problem of dispersed phase precipitation through homogenization heat treatment, and within a short homogenization time, fine, uniform and dispersed AlCuMn phases can be precipitated in the matrix; While the dendrite structure in the microstructure is controlled, a small amount of residual coarse phase in the microstructure is controlled, so that the aluminum matrix is ​​in an undersaturated state during solid solution, which reduces the quenching sensitivity of the material, and inhibits the nanostructure at the grain boundary of the material after solid solution. The precipitation of the second phase of the grade has achieved the effect of improving production efficiency and improving the intergranular corrosion resistance of the product. The technical solution provided by the invention is suitable for industrialized production of large ingots, has good operability, can shorten the homogenization heat treatment time, and save heat treatment energy consumption.

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...
