preparation example Construction

[0040] In some embodiments, the method for preparing a high-strength and damage-resistant aluminum-lithium alloy sheet includes the following steps: melting and casting into an ingot according to the designed ratio of aluminum-lithium alloy elements, and then annealing the ingot, hot rolling, Intermediate annealing, cold rolling into plates, and then solution quenching, pre-deformation, and aging treatment to obtain the final thin plates.

[0041] Preferably, the cast aluminum-lithium alloy ingot is subjected to three-stage annealing treatment, and the annealing process is (300-400)°C×(2-8)h+(400-460)°C×(2-10)h+(480-500 )°C×(20~30)h. More preferably, the annealing process is (350-380)°C×(3-5)h+(430-450)°C×(4-6)h+(490-500)°C×(20-24)h. The purpose of three-stage annealing with increasing temperature in sequence is to gradually dissolve non-equilibrium solidified phases with different melting points in the ingot during the heating process, thereby reducing the occurrence of over...

The ingot was annealed in three stages at 300°C×8h+450°C×4h+480°C×30h. The surface of the annealed ingot is machined to the slab. The slab is kept at 430°C for 4 hours, after hot rolling (the deformation does not exceed 30%), it is placed in a furnace at 430°C for 1 hour, and hot rolling is continued. After multiple passes of hot rolling, it becomes a 6mm plate. ℃ annealing for 5h, and then cold rolled into a 2mm thin plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation and processing of aluminum alloy materials, and in particular relates to a high-strength damage-resistant aluminum-lithium alloy and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Advanced light metal materials with high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and low fatigue crack growth rate are one of the main measures to reduce the weight of aircraft structures and reduce the structural weight factor. Experience shows that reducing the material density by 10% can generally reduce the weight of the aircraft structure by 10%; while increasing the mechanical properties of the material (such as: strength) by 10% can only reduce the weight of the structure by about 1% to 3%. Therefore, the development of light alloy materials with high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and low fatigue crack growth rate is the most effective way to reduce the structural...
