The invention provides a heat treatment method for enabling cast aluminum
alloy to obtain a
linear separation characteristic, which comprises the following steps of: 1, putting an aluminum
alloy casting into a
hot isostatic pressing furnace, raising the temperature and the pressure, and keeping the temperature and the pressure at the temperature lower than the
grain growth temperature; 2, after heat preservation and pressure maintaining in the step 1 are finished, reducing the pressure, meanwhile, raising the temperature, and completing heat preservation and pressure maintaining at the temperature higher than the
grain growth temperature; and thirdly, after heat preservation and pressure maintaining in the second step are finished, the pressure is increased, meanwhile, cooling is conducted, the first step and the second step are repeated, and 4-6 cycles of low-temperature high-pressure and high-temperature low-pressure heat treatment are completed. According to the method, on the basis of
hot isostatic pressing, the local
grain growth rate of the aluminum
alloy is affected by the solute
segregation effect under the pressure and temperature cycle regulation effect, the
grain distribution characteristic of a quasi double-peak structure is formed in the alloy, and a cast aluminum alloy
casting has the
linear separation characteristic; the problem that a traditional aluminum alloy material cannot achieve controllable
linear separation under dynamic
impact on the premise that quasi-static high
toughness is met can be solved, and the lightweight level of a multi-stage aircraft is further improved.
