[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metal materials, and relates to an aluminum alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a preparation method of an ultrahigh-strength aluminum alloy extruded plate with a tensile strength exceeding 780 MPa and an exfoliation corrosion resistance grade N. BACKGROUND
[0002] Al-Zn-Mg series aluminum alloys have advantages of low density, high strength and toughness, and low cost, and are structural materials with great application prospects in the fields of aerospace, navigation, military industry, and rail transportation. With the expansion of applications to offshore, industry, and atmosphere, the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of traditional Al-Zn-Mg alloys have gradually failed to meet the requirements of component design. How to have high tensile strength while maintaining good corrosion resistance has become a key problem in the development of Al-Zn-Mg series alloys. Adding Cu elements to Al-Zn-Mg series alloys for micro-alloying can promote the formation of clusters at the early stage of aging and increase the volume fraction of strengthening phases, significantly affect the types, shapes and distribution of precipitates, and thus improve the mechanical properties of the alloy. Numerous studies have shown that adding Cu elements to Al-Zn-Mg series aluminum alloys can increase the hardness and tensile strength of the alloy, but will also increase the exfoliation corrosion sensitivity (exfoliation corrosion grade is generally below EB grade) of the alloy, limiting the wide application of Al-Zn-Mg alloys.

[0004] At present, there are few reports on corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys with N-grade anti-exfoliation corrosion and tensile strength greater than or equal to 740MPa. SUMMARY
[0005] Based on patent application CN118880134A, in order to further improve the corrosion resistance of the product and ensure its strength, the present application is proposed.
[0006] The corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with N-grade anti-exfoliation corrosion includes the following chemical components in mass percentage: Zn 10.0-12.0%, Mg 2.5%-3.5%, Zr 0.08-0.25%, Ti 0.03-0.10%, Fe≤0.10%, Si≤0.10%, other impurities≤0.05%, total amount≤0.15%, the balance is Al; the corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy has N-grade anti-exfoliation corrosion and tensile strength greater than or equal to 740MPa;
[0007] The corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy is prepared by the following steps:
[0008] Step one: according to the above chemical composition and weight percentage requirements, aluminum alloy ingot is obtained by water-cooled mold casting;
[0009] Step two: the ingot obtained in step one is treated according to the two-stage homogenization process, specifically as follows: the first-stage homogenization temperature is 400-450℃, the holding time is 8-16h; the second-stage homogenization temperature is A℃, the second-stage homogenization treatment time is 30-48h; the holding time is 20-60h; after the homogenization of the ingot is completed, it is air-cooled; the value of A is 460-475℃;
[0010] Step three: the ingot obtained in step two is peeled and then hot extruded, with an extrusion ratio of 20~50.
[0011] Step four: the plate obtained in step three is subjected to two-stage solid solution and peak aging treatment, specifically as follows: the first-stage solid solution temperature is B ℃, the holding time is 1-2 h; the second-stage solid solution temperature is C ℃, the holding time is 20-45 min; after the solid solution stage, water quenching is performed, and after quenching, peak aging treatment is performed; the peak aging temperature is 110-130 ℃, and the holding time is 16-32 h; the value of B is 450-470, the value of C is 475-490, and B < C < A.
[0012] Preferably, the alloy contains high contents of Zn and Mg in the chemical composition, and the weight percentages are: Zn 10.0-12.0%, Mg 2.5-3.5%. In the present application, the content of Zn is not less than 10 wt%, the content of Mg is not less than 2.5%, and no Cu element is contained, which, in combination with subsequent extrusion and heat treatment processes, provides necessary conditions for realizing ultra-high strength in a peak aging state and also provides necessary conditions for having super strong exfoliation corrosion resistance.
[0013] As a further preferred solution, the present application provides an N-grade exfoliation corrosion resistant corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, which contains the following chemical components in mass percentages: Zn 11-11.5%, Mg 2.8-3.3%, Zr 0.1-0.15%, Ti 0.03-0.07%, Fe ≤0.10%, Si ≤0.10%, other impurities ≤0.05% individually, total amount ≤0.15%, and the balance being Al.

[0015] The present application adopts special two-stage solid solution, in which the second-stage solid solution temperature breaks through the overburning temperature (i.e. slightly higher than the overburning temperature), so that more difficult-to-dissolve second phases are dissolved into the matrix, and the heat extrusion process is further combined to improve the strengthening effect.
[0016] In the present application, the reason why C is greater than A and B is that the second-stage solid solution temperature is higher than the homogenization and first-stage solid solution temperature, so that the difficult-to-dissolve second phases at A / B temperature are dissolved into the matrix, and the over-saturation of the alloy after quenching is improved.
[0017] As a further preferred solution, B < A < C.
[0018] Preferably, in step one, the aluminum alloy round ingot is obtained by water-cooled mold casting, and the size of the ingot is Φ110-130 mm in diameter.

[0020] As a preference, the first-stage solution temperature is 450-470 DEG C, and the holding time is 80-100 min; the second-stage solution temperature is 475-482 DEG C, further preferably 480 DEG C, and the holding time is 28-32 min. Because the temperature of the second-stage aging is greater than the overburning temperature, the time must be strictly controlled, and the temperature also cannot be too high.
[0021] As a further preference, the fourth step solution process adopts two-stage strengthened solution, specifically as follows:
[0022] The first-stage solution temperature is 463-468 DEG C, and the holding time is 80-100 min; the second-stage solution temperature is 478-482 DEG C, further preferably 480 DEG C, and the holding time is 28-32 min. Because the temperature of the second-stage aging is greater than the overburning temperature, the time must be strictly controlled, and the temperature also cannot be too high.
[0023] Preferably, after the fourth step solution process, water quenching is adopted, the quenching time is less than 5 s, and the quenching temperature is room temperature; the peak aging temperature is 115-125 DEG C, and the holding time is 20-28 h.
[0024] After optimization, the tensile strength of the peak aging product is greater than 788 MPa, the yield strength is greater than 786 MPa, the elongation is greater than 5.0%, and the exfoliation corrosion grade is N grade.
[0025] The product obtained by the present application fully meets the requirements of existing aerospace and transportation equipment for super-high-strength aluminum alloy, and also meets the requirements of future new-generation aerospace technology.
[0026] The present application is a corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy with an exfoliation corrosion resistance grade of N grade and a tensile strength greater than or equal to 740 MPa under the synergistic effect of composition and preparation process; after optimization, the exfoliation corrosion resistance grade of the product obtained by the present application is N grade and the tensile strength is greater than or equal to 780 MPa.
[0027] The use of copper must be eliminated in the present application, otherwise the exfoliation corrosion resistance of the product will be significantly reduced. Under the action of a large amount of zinc in combination with appropriate Zr and Ti without copper, a product with excellent exfoliation corrosion resistance performance can be obtained while ensuring high product strength.
