The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
the invention relates to a low-density high-modulus high-strength aluminum alloy which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: li: 2.5-3.5%, Be 0.2-1.5%, Mn: 1-3%, Mg 0.05-2.0%, Zr: 0.05-0.15%, Sc: 0.05-0.15% and the balance of Al.
In the low-density high-modulus high-strength aluminum alloy provided by the invention, Li, Be, Mn and Mg are necessary elements and directly influence the elastic modulus, density and strength of an aluminum matrix alloy, Zr and Sc are crystal grain regulating elements and are used for refining crystal grains of an aluminum matrix, and the low-density high-modulus high-strength aluminum alloy is finally formed under the cooperation of the two aspects.
In the invention, beryllium (0.2-1.5%) is originally added, and the inventor finds that on one hand, the beryllium in the range can improve the high elastic modulus of the aluminum alloy and reduce the density, but the beryllium cannot be undissolved in an aluminum matrix, so the addition amount needs to be controlled, and the strength of the material is reduced by excessively adding the beryllium; on the other hand, in the conventional high-temperature smelting process, the addition of trace beryllium (0.001%) can protect the melt and reduce the oxidation of the alloy, further, the reduction of the oxygen content can improve the performance of the alloy material, and the smelting in the atmospheric environment can be realized. And 1-3% of manganese is added into the alloy to form fine Al in the alloy6Mn、Al4Mn and other high modulus compounds, thereby improving the elastic modulus of the matrix alloy. 2.5-3.5% of Li is added into the alloy, so that on one hand, the overall density of the alloy is reduced, and on the other hand, high-modulus Al is precipitated from the alloy in the subsequent heat treatment process3A Li phase. While the addition of trace Mg mainly reduces the matrixThe density of the alloy is improved, and the strength is improved.
The invention relates to a low-density high-modulus high-strength aluminum alloy which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: li: 2.5-3.5%, Be 0.2-1.5%, Mn: 1 to 2.5%, Mg 0.05 to 1.0%, Zr: 0.05-0.15%, Sc: 0.05-0.15% and the balance of Al.
