AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies suffer from problems such as low surface accuracy, poor integrity, and high cost when manufacturing alloy skins, especially in the processing of aluminum alloy and aluminum-lithium alloy skins.
Using alloy skin forming molds, including upper and lower molds, and combining friction stir/fluid forming and superplastic/gas quenching forming methods, aluminum alloy and aluminum-lithium alloy skins with large local deformation are prepared through specially designed mold structures and process steps.
The process improved the surface accuracy of aluminum alloy skin from ±1mm to ±0.3mm, the wall thickness uniformity from ±20% to ±10%, reduced costs, increased the tensile strength of aluminum-lithium alloy skin by more than 20%, reduced weight by 10%, simplified the process, and increased the yield.
