Abstract

The invention relates to a high-specific-modulus aluminum alloy. The alloy is prepared from, by mass, 2%-4% of Li, 1%-7% of Mn, 0.05%-0.3% of Zr, 0.0%-0.3% of Ti, 0.0%-0.3% of Sc and the balance of Al. Li and Mn are necessary elements for improving the modulus of the aluminum alloy, and Zr, Ti and Sc are grain control elements. The preparation method comprises the following steps of weighing the components according to a designed aluminum alloy component proportion, smelting in a vacuum smelting furnace, casting, molding, and carrying out thermal deformation to form a bar or a plate. The aluminum alloy with high modulus and high specific modulus is prepared by adopting a smelting casting and deformation heat treatment method and controlling the contents of alloy elements (Li and Mn) with increased modulus and the grain control elements Zr, Ti and Sc. An aluminum-manganese-lithium alloy with modulus higher than that of the existing aluminum alloy is prepared, the preparation process is simple, and the alloy can be used as a light structural material with high specific stiffness.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high specific modulus aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof, belonging to new metal structural materials. Background technique [0002] As the backbone material of air, land and water vehicles, aluminum alloy is cost-effective and widely used. High-modulus aluminum alloy plays a decisive role in achieving weight reduction, efficiency increase and long life, and is indispensable. High modulus is a common feature of high-performance aluminum alloys. Under similar strength conditions, greatly increasing the elastic modulus of aluminum alloys to increase the specific modulus is the main development direction for achieving weight reduction and efficiency enhancement of vehicles. [0003] High-performance aluminum alloys for aviation mainly include Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys of the 7XXX series and Al-Cu-Mg and Al-Li alloys of the 2XXXX series. 7XXX series aluminum alloy has high specific strength (180-208MPa.cm 3 / g),...
