The invention discloses a 7-series aluminum
alloy material and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of aluminum
alloy preparation.The 7-series aluminum
alloy material and the preparation method thereof have the advantages that on the basis of optimizing components of 7-series aluminum alloy, the proportion and the process of the components are properly adjusted, it can be guaranteed that the tensile strength, the yield strength and the
ductility meet the use requirements on the whole, and the
corrosion resistance can be further improved; by adding the
Zn element and the
Mg element, the strength and
hardness of the 7-series aluminum alloy can be remarkably improved, a proper Cu or Cr ratio can reduce residual phases (a T-Al2Mg3Zn3 phase, an AlZnMgCu phase or an AlZnMgCr phase), but after
solution treatment, the residual phases gradually disappear, all alloy elements can be dissolved in a matrix in a
solid mode, an AlFe phase is reduced, then
corrosion sites are reduced, and by combining the synergistic effect of the
Mn element and the V-containing refiner, the
corrosion resistance of the 7-series aluminum alloy is improved. The crystalline phase in the 7-series aluminum alloy is refined, so that the
mechanical property of the 7-series aluminum alloy can be obviously improved, and the corrosion resistance of the 7-series aluminum alloy can be obviously improved.
