The invention relates to a 2XXX series aluminum
alloy and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of non-
ferrous metal alloys. The problems of low strength and poor
toughness of the 2XXX series aluminum
alloy in the prior art are solved. The 2XXX series aluminum
alloy comprises the following chemical components in percentage by
mass: 3.9-4.5 percent of Cu, 0.5-1.0 percent of Mg, 0.5-1.2 percent of Mn, 0.3-0.8 percent of Si, 0.1-0.2 percent of Zr, less than or equal to 0.1 percent of Ti, less than or equal to 0.4 percent of Fe, less than or equal to 0.1 percent of Zn, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of single
impurity, less than or equal to 0.15 percent of total
impurity and the balance of Al. The preparation method of the 2XXX series aluminum alloy comprises the steps that 1, pure Al, an Al-Cu intermediate alloy, an Al-Mg intermediate alloy, an Al-Si intermediate alloy, an Al-Mn intermediate alloy and an Al-Zr intermediate alloy are weighed according to the
mass percent of all the elements to serve as raw materials; 2, the raw materials are refined to obtain an aluminum alloy
smelting solution, and cast into a cast
ingot; and 3, the cast
ingot is sequentially subjected to homogenization,
forging and pressing,
solution treatment and aging treatment, and the 2XXX series aluminum alloy is obtained. The strength and
toughness of the 2XXX series aluminum alloy are improved.
