Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum alloy profile technology, specifically to an aluminum alloy profile with fatigue crack propagation resistance and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Creep aging forming, as a manufacturing process for one-time forming of large, integral stiffened panel components, has been widely used in the manufacture of complex multi-curvature structural parts for aerospace applications. Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy is an ultra-high strength 7XXX series aluminum alloy. Since its development, it has been widely used in aerospace and rail transportation fields due to its ultra-high strength, excellent hot working properties, and weldability. With the development of the aircraft manufacturing and rail transportation industries, the requirements for aluminum alloy sheets have shifted from focusing solely on strength to a greater emphasis on comprehensive performance indicators such as strength, toughness, corrosion resistance, and damage limit. While the widely used T6 state Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy has high strength, its toughness and corrosion resistance are poor. Furthermore, due to its high internal stress, it is prone to warping after processing, leading to a very high scrap rate – a problem that urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the prior art.
[0004] This invention provides an aluminum alloy profile with high resistance to fatigue crack propagation and its preparation method. By controlling the microstructure of the profile through a novel process, aluminum alloy profiles with high resistance to fatigue crack propagation can be produced. This invention obtains an aluminum alloy ingot through melting and casting; the aluminum alloy ingot undergoes homogenization annealing; then, the homogenized annealed ingot is rolled in multiple passes to obtain an aluminum alloy rolled sheet; subsequently, the aluminum alloy rolled sheet undergoes solution heat treatment, artificial aging, and finally, the aged sheet undergoes creep over-aging forming treatment to obtain the aluminum alloy profile.
[0005] A method for preparing an aluminum alloy profile, comprising:
[0006] Provide aluminum alloy ingots;
[0007] The aluminum alloy ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment;
[0008] The homogenized aluminum alloy ingot is rolled in multiple passes to obtain aluminum alloy rolled plate; the annealing temperature between passes is 200-350℃.
[0009] The aluminum alloy rolled sheet is subjected to solution heat treatment and artificial aging treatment in sequence to obtain an aluminum alloy sheet.
[0010] The aluminum alloy sheet after artificial aging is subjected to creep aging treatment to obtain aluminum alloy profiles.
[0011] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the aluminum alloy ingot is composed of the following by mass percentage: Zn: 4.20-6.20%, Mg: 2.0-2.5%, Cu: 1.1-1.5%, Fe: 0.30-0.39%, Cr: 0.1-0.3%, Ti: 0.01-0.06%, Mn: 0.01-0.06%, Zr: 0.01-0.1%, with the balance being Al.
[0012] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the aluminum alloy ingot is composed of the following by mass percentage: Zn: 5.41%, Mg: 2.34%, Cu: 1.37%, Fe: 0.39%, Cr: 0.26%, Ti: 0.06%, Mn: 0.05%, Zr: 0.01%, with the balance being Al.
[0013] The aluminum alloy ingot can be prepared using conventional methods in the art, such as taking raw materials according to the designed composition and obtaining the aluminum alloy ingot through melting and casting.

Studies have found that if the annealing temperature between passes exceeds 350°C, the number and size of precipitated secondary particles increase, the secondary phase tends to coarsen, the yield strength decreases, and the coarser particles lead to stress concentration and microcrack initiation.

[0028] The sixth pass rolls the material from 5mm to 4mm, and then holds it at 250-270℃ for 30-35 minutes.
[0029] According to embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes a step of cold rolling the aluminum alloy sheet obtained by multi-pass rolling; followed by solution treatment after cold rolling. Specifically, the cold rolling includes rolling the aluminum alloy sheet obtained by multi-pass rolling directly from 4mm to 3.5mm without annealing.
[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the solution treatment temperature is 460-480℃ and the solution treatment time is 1-2 hours.
[0031] Specifically, the solution treatment temperature is 470°C and the solution treatment time is 1 hour.
[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the step of water cooling the aluminum alloy rolled plate obtained by solution treatment to room temperature; and then performing artificial aging treatment.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the temperature for artificial aging is 100-140℃, and the time for artificial aging is 20-25h.
[0034] Specifically, the temperature for artificial aging is 120°C, and the artificial aging time is 24 hours.
[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the creep curvature of the creep aging treatment is 200-400 mm, and the creep temperature is 140-170 °C.
[0036] The present invention also includes aluminum alloy profiles prepared by the above method.

Then, through large curvature creep aging forming, it improves the residual stress distribution of aluminum alloy profiles, increases the angle between the actual active slip surfaces of adjacent grains, makes the distribution of geometrically necessary dislocation density within the grains more uniform, and improves the fatigue crack propagation resistance of aluminum alloy profiles.

[0117] Characteristic tests of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2
[0118] 1) Fatigue crack propagation rate analysis
[0119] The aluminum alloy profiles prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to fatigue crack propagation tests on an MTS Landmark material testing machine.
[0120] The fatigue crack propagation resistance of the aluminum alloy profiles obtained in the examples and comparative examples is listed in Table 1. The material constant n in Table 1 reflects the fatigue crack propagation rate of the sample in the steady-state crack propagation region. A larger n value indicates a higher fatigue crack propagation rate and poorer fatigue crack propagation resistance. Table 1 clearly shows that the aluminum alloy profiles prepared in the examples have a lower n value, meaning they exhibit higher fatigue crack propagation resistance.

[0123] Figure 1 The dislocation density diagram of the aluminum alloy profile prepared in Example 1; Figure 2 The dislocation density diagram is shown for the aluminum alloy profile prepared in Comparative Example 2.
[0124] contrast Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the dislocation density in Example 1, which underwent creep aging treatment, is greater, and the ρ within the crystal is higher. GND As the number of cells increases, the resistance encountered during fatigue crack propagation increases, and the crack propagation rate decreases, indicating that... Figure 1 It has higher resistance to fatigue crack propagation.
[0125] Figure 3 The image shows the EBSD (electron backscattering diffraction) pattern of fatigue crack propagation in the aluminum alloy sheet prepared in Example 1. Figure 4 EBSD image of fatigue crack propagation in the aluminum alloy sheet prepared in Example 2; Figure 5 EBSD image of fatigue crack propagation in the aluminum alloy sheet prepared in Example 3; Figure 6 EBSD image of fatigue crack propagation in aluminum alloy sheet prepared in Comparative Example 1; Figure 7 EBSD image of fatigue crack propagation in aluminum alloy sheet prepared in Comparative Example 2.
[0126] contrast Figure 3-7 It can be seen that the angles at which fatigue cracks penetrate the open slip surfaces of adjacent grains differ greatly among the five samples. The total deflection angle of the fatigue crack penetrating the grain boundary in Sample 1 is 581.7°, while that in Comparative Example 1 is 383.4°. The total deflection angles of the fatigue cracks penetrating the grain boundary in Samples 2, 3, and 2 are 474.4°, 468.2°, and 440.3°, respectively. The total deflection angle of the fatigue crack in Sample 1 is larger than that of the other samples, requiring more energy to penetrate these grain boundaries. The total deflection angle of the fatigue crack in Sample 1 is the smallest, indicating the least resistance when the fatigue crack penetrates the grain boundary. Therefore, Sample 1 exhibits the greatest resistance in terms of grain boundary resistance, followed by Samples 2, 3, and 2, with Sample 1 exhibiting the least resistance.
