The invention relates to the cross technical field of non-traditional
machining forming and heat treatment of
metal materials, in particular to a current forming and heat treatment composite
manufacturing technology for an aluminum
alloy component. The method comprises the steps that S1, first current is applied to an aluminum
alloy blank for
solution treatment, the blank is heated to the solution temperature, and heat preservation is conducted; s2, the blank obtained after
solid solution is quenched and cooled to the aging temperature; and S3, a second current is applied to the cooled blank, meanwhile, a load is applied for plastic deformation, and aging treatment is completed in the deformation process. According to the method, current rapid
solid solution is used for replacing traditional long-time
solid solution, and forming, namely strengthening, is achieved through current forming-aging compounding. Compared with the prior art, the heat
treatment period is shortened from more than 26 hours to less than 15 minutes, and the production efficiency is improved by hundreds of times; the forming precision of the obtained component reaches the submillimeter level, precipitated
phase gradient regulation and control are achieved through multi-field
coupling, the strength and
toughness limit of traditional heat treatment is broken through, and the method has wide application prospects in the fields of
aerospace and automobile carrying equipment.
