Chinese patent (Patent No. 201380023370.0) discloses a new 2xxx aluminum-lithium alloy comprising 3.5-4.4wt.% Cu, 0.45-0.75wt.% Mg, 0.45-0.75wt.% Zn, 0.65-1.15wt. %Li, the alloy is an aluminum-lithium alloy with low zinc content, the Zn / Mg mass fraction ratio is between 0.60-1.67, and the alloy requires that the magnesium content is less than 1%, but the fracture toughness of the alloy is low
Chinese patent (patent number 201810444457.X) discloses a high-strength and toughness extruded aluminum-lithium alloy with high Zn content and its preparation method. The components in the alloy are: Zn 4.1-5.5%, Cu 2-4.5%, Mg 2-3%, Li 1-2%, Zr0.1-0.5%, but the magnesium content in the alloy exceeds 2%, which will cause T 1 A large amount of phase precipitates at the grain boundary, which reduces the strength of the grain boundary, thereby reducing the fracture toughness of the alloy
It can meet the current demand, but its highest strength is only 663MPa; and it does not involve the optimization of key parameters such as elastic modulus

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrahigh-strength aluminum-lithium alloy and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of metal material preparation. Background technique [0002] Adding 1wt% Li to the aluminum alloy can reduce the density of the alloy by 3%, while the modulus of elasticity can be increased by 6%, and it has a good solid solution strengthening effect. Therefore, aluminum-lithium alloys have the advantages of low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance. Replacing conventional aluminum alloys with aluminum-lithium alloys can reduce the structural mass by 10% to 15%, and increase the rigidity by 15% to 20%. It is an ideal aerospace structural material. With the development of my country's aerospace industry, new low-density aluminum alloys have been continuously developed, but the existing aluminum-lithium alloy production has problems such as difficulty, high ...
