Problems solved by technology

Although the strength of alloys prepared by these large plastic deformation methods is improved due to the refinement of grains, compared with traditional T6 and T5 treatments, their plasticity is greatly reduced or even has no obvious room temperature plasticity.
In addition, when the aluminum alloy is prepared by the large plastic deformation method, defects such as micropores will be introduced due to local strain instability, and these defects pose a great threat to its fatigue life and service safety.
More importantly, the above-mentioned large plastic deformation method can only prepare small samples, it is difficult to carry out large-scale production, and the manufacturing method is complicated, which requires high equipment performance
Because of the above factors, the large plastic deformation method is still difficult to be used in the industrial production of high-performance aluminum alloys.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of metal and alloy fabricating and heat treatment, and provides a hot working method for improving strength of a wrought aluminium alloy and keeping plasticity of the wrought aluminium alloy. The method comprises the steps that the aluminium alloy is cast to form a cast ingot; the cast ingot is subjected to homogenization treatment and heat deformation treatment to form a plate; and the plate is sequentially subjected to solid solution and quenching treatment, natural aging treatment, cold deformation treatment and artificial aging treatment. The method can be used for large-scale production of high-strength aluminium alloys; and compared with the existing hot working method, the manufacturing cost is not increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of preparation and heat treatment of metals and alloys, and relates to a high-efficiency and low-cost novel thermal processing method for improving the strength of a deformed aluminum alloy and keeping its plasticity basically unchanged. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly high requirements for weight reduction in modern vehicles, the application of aluminum alloy as an important structural material in the fields of automobile, high-speed rail and aviation industry is gradually increasing. The high-end aluminum alloy materials currently used in vehicles, such as extruded profiles, plates and forgings, are basically deformed aluminum alloys, including 6×××, 2××× and 7××× alloys. After casting, these aluminum alloys will be subjected to homogenization of the ingot at a certain temperature, and then undergo hot deformation and cold deformation. After deformation, the factory will perform soluti...
