The invention discloses
alloy for
casting a
space shuttle liquid hydrogen fuel tank. The
alloy is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 85-90 parts of Al, 2.0-3.0 parts of Li, 2.0-3.0 parts of Cu, 0.1-0.25 parts of Zr and 0.1-0.2 parts of Sr. The
alloy has the advantages as follows: with adoption of
electron beams for
smelting the alloy, harmful
impurity elements such as O, N, S and the like can be greatly reduced in the alloy
smelting process, purity and content of Al, Ni and Cu in the alloy are increased, low
temperature resistance of the alloy is guaranteed, and as the temperature decreases, strength,
ductility and
toughness of the alloy are greatly improved; the aluminum
ingot with the grade of Al99.85 is used as a
raw material, purity of Al in the alloy is further improved; an ultra-low-temperature-resistant pressure-sensitive
adhesive is
solvent-free, the curing temperature is low,
curing time is short, the ultra-low-temperature-resistant pressure-sensitive
adhesive is used for bonding flexible foam plastic and a
pipe rapidly, the on-site construction process is good, the ultra-low-temperature-resistant pressure-sensitive
adhesive still realizes a better adhesion effect under the condition of ultra-low temperature; and transmission of low temperature can be better insulated by the soft foam plastic layer.
