Abstract

The invention discloses an ageing heat treatment method for a low-purity Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy. The method includes the steps that the low-purity aluminum alloy is treated in a solution mode at the temperature of 465 DEG C-480 EDG C for 1-2 h, then first-level ageing is carried out at the temperature of 90 DEG C-120 DEG C for 15-26 h, and air cooling is carried out; the alloy is treated in a regression mode at the temperature of 150 DEG C-210 DEG C for 2-120 min, and intragranular precipitates are redissoluted into a matrix through water cooling; natural ageing (RT) is carried out for 2-120 h, ageing is carried out at the temperature of 50 DEG C-120 DEG C for 2-90 h, and air cooling is carried out. The low-purity Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy comprises, by mass ratio, 5.8-7.5% of Zn, 0.2-0.6% of Mn, 1.7-2.5% of Mg, 1.2-2.0% of Cu, 0.08-0.25% of Cr or 0.05-0.15% of Zr, 0.1-0.6% of Fe, 0.1-0.6% of Si, and balance Al. By means of the four-level ageing technology, the low-purity Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy obtains highly-dispersed G.P. region granules and a few eta phase intragranular tissues and therefore has ultra-high strength, good plasticity and fatigue damage resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of heat treatment of aluminum alloys, and in particular relates to an aging heat treatment method for improving the strength and plastic deformation ability of low-purity Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloys. Background technique [0002] The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy with high Zn content has a tensile strength exceeding 600MPa, and has a wide range of applications in many fields such as aerospace and national economy. In the past, only the strength and corrosion resistance of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were often concerned. With the development of industrial technology, the requirements for the performance of ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy products are not limited to strength and corrosion resistance, but also require high sheet metal performance under ultra-high strength, that is, under the premise of obtaining ultra-high strength after strengthening treatment, It should also have a plastic index of high elongation. Moreover...
