The invention discloses a high-
toughness aluminum-
lithium alloy and a preparation method, and belongs to the field of
metal material
processing technologies, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out
solution treatment on an annealed aluminum-
lithium alloy, then carrying out 3-5% of pre-deformation, then carrying out low-temperature pre-aging on the pre-deformed aluminum-
lithium alloy, then adding 1-8% of intermediate secondary deformation, then carrying out high-temperature aging, and finally carrying out high-temperature aging treatment on the pre-deformed aluminum-lithium alloy to obtain the high-
toughness aluminum-lithium alloy. And cooling to
room temperature to obtain the high-
toughness aluminum-lithium alloy. According to the method,
dislocation configuration of the aluminum-lithium alloy is uniform and compact through a two-stage stretching heat treatment (TTIA) process,
precipitation strengthening of a T1 phase is promoted, and alloy weak points are pinned, so that
plasticity is improved while the strength of the aluminum-lithium alloy is greatly improved, and synergistic growth of the strength and
plasticity of the alloy is achieved; the aluminum-lithium alloy treated by the method is high in strength and good in
plasticity, and can meet the performance requirements of the fields of
aerospace, automobile manufacturing and the like on structural materials in the national industrialization process.
