This invention relates to the field of aluminum
alloy heat treatment technology, and discloses a 6-series aluminum
alloy extruded profile and its T6I6 interrupted aging treatment method, including the following steps: 1) Performing low-temperature pre-aging on the solution-quenched 6-series aluminum
alloy extruded profile, the low-temperature pre-aging temperature is 63°C-67°C, the
holding time is 260h-320h, and no pre-deformation is required; 2) After pre-aging, performing an interruption operation, taking the sample out of the low-temperature aging furnace and transferring it to a high-temperature aging furnace, the interruption time not exceeding 24h; during the interruption operation, the sample is removed from the temperature-controlled environment, and the temperature naturally drops to
room temperature; 3) After the interruption operation, performing high-temperature main aging, the high-temperature main aging temperature is 172°C-177°C, and the
holding time is 5h-7h. After the above treatment, compared with the T6 state, the tensile strength is increased by 8%-20%, the elongation is increased by more than 35%, and the maximum IGC
corrosion depth is reduced by more than 30%. The aluminum alloy extruded profiles have a PFZ width of 30-60nm, a GP zone
number density of ≥5×10²³ / m³, a discontinuous distribution of
grain boundary precipitates, an inter-phase spacing of 50-150nm between adjacent precipitates, and a precipitate size of 20-50nm.
