Description

High-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy super-thick forging and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum alloy, and particularly relates to a high-strength corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy super-thick forging, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy is very suitable for aerospace equipment due to high specific strength, low density and good formability. A common problem with Al-Zn-Mg-Cu high strength aluminum alloys is the contradiction between strength and stress corrosion properties. The occurrence of stress corrosion fracture is not obvious, and the hazard is extremely high, so that the popularization and the application of the high-strength aluminum alloy are severely restricted.
The large-size aluminum alloy plate is a raw material for manufacturing large parts in the aerospace field, and with the development of integrated design of parts, the requirements on the large-size plate are increased more and more, and the performance requirements are also increased more and more. The large plate is usually prepared by adopting an ingot rolling mode, but for plates with larger thickness, the existing ingot rolling mode cannot introduce enough strain quantity in the thickness center of the plate due to the limitation of ingot thickness and equipment capacity, so that the uniformity of the grain structure of the plate is poor. Poor uniformity of the grain structure of the plate directly influences the uniformity of mechanical property and stress corrosion property, and the service life of the plate is seriously influenced.
At present, related patent reports about a method for improving stress corrosion performance of an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy and a method for preparing a forging piece are available. For example, patent CN115710661A discloses an Al-Zn-Mg-Cu aluminum alloy and a method for improving stress corrosion performance thereof, wherein the aluminum alloy comprises, by weight, 7.0-10.0% of Zn, 1.0-1.8% of Mg, 1.0-2.3% of Cu, 0.08-0.12% of Zr, 0.02-0.06% of Ti, less than or equal to 0.08% of Fe, less than or equal to 0.06% of Si, less than or equal to 0.05% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.05% of Cr, sc and Er, the content of Sc and Er is less than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 1.0% of Sc/Er, and the balance is Al. According to the patent, precipitation of MgZn2 phases in crystals is promoted by adding Sc and Er, and the number of MgZn2 phases in crystal boundaries is reduced, so that the stress corrosion performance is improved, but the alloy is not beneficial to low-cost manufacture and application of aluminum alloy due to the addition of Sc and Er elements with high price. Patent CN111974919a discloses a forging method for improving anisotropy of a 7XXX aluminum alloy forging, which adopts a forging process mode of high-temperature forging, medium-temperature forging and low-temperature forging in a gradient manner to improve the recrystallization volume fraction of the forging and reduce the strength difference and toughness difference between three directions, but the invention does not consider the structural uniformity of the aluminum alloy forging with larger thickness. Patent CN111644548A discloses a forging technology for forging a high-strength homogeneous aluminum alloy forging for aerospace, which reduces the generation of cracks in the forging process through upsetting and upsetting with multiple small deformations, but the invention does not relate to the improvement of stress corrosion performance.
