Abstract

The invention discloses an aluminum alloy suitable for cold forming and a preparation method thereof. The aluminum alloy comprises, by mass, 2-6 wt.% of Zn, 0.2-6 wt.% of Mg, 0.2-3 wt.% of Mn, 0.2-3 wt.% of Cu, 0.1-2 wt.% of Sc, 0.1-2 wt.% of Yb, 0.1-1 wt.% of Tb, 0.2-2 wt.% of Zr, and the balance Al. The preparation method of the aluminum alloy comprises the four steps of smelting, homogenizationtreatment, cold forming and aging treatment. According to the aluminum alloy suitable for cold forming and the preparation method thereof, Zn, Mg, Mn, Cu, Yb and Tb elements are added to the aluminumalloy, a ZnYb strengthening phase, and a ZnTb strengthening phase and a MgZn strengthening phase are introduced to the aluminum alloy structure; grain refinement is conducted through Sc and Zr; through subsequent homogenization treatment, more than 60% of deformation of the homogenized aluminum alloy is realized without cracking; and finally, the homogenized aluminum alloy is subjected to cold plasticity deformation and aging treatment, and the high-performance aluminum alloy suitable for cold forming is prepared.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal materials, and relates to an aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an aluminum alloy suitable for cold forming and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Aluminum is currently the non-ferrous metal material with the largest output and the widest application range in the world. Its consumption is second only to steel. It is widely used in machinery, transportation, chemical industry, electric power, electronics, construction and other fields.
