Definitions
- the present invention relates to alloys based on Al, containing essentially Li, Cn and Mg: and having high specific characteristics and high ductility.
- lithium alloys It is known to metallurgists that the addition of lithium decreases the density and increases the modulus of elasticity and the mechanical resistance of aluminum alloys. This explains the designers' interest in these alloys for applications in the aeronautical industry, and more particularly, for lithium aluminum alloys containing other addition elements such as magnesium or copper.
- lithium alloys must imperatively have ductility and toughness at least equivalent, with mechanical strength equal to that of conventional aeronautical alloys such as alloys 2024-T4 or T351, 2214T6 (51), 7175-T73 (51 ) or T7652 and 7150-T651 (according to the nomenclature of the Aluminum Association), which is not the case for known lithium alloys.
- the resistance and elongation levels obtained on thin sheets in the T8 state and on thick sheets in the T651 state are however still lower than those of aeronautical alloys of the 2000 to 7000 series, as for the other alloys of the AlLiCu and AlLiCuMg with a lithium content greater than 1.7% known to date, whether these are products obtained by ingot metallurgy (for example, in semi-continuous casting) or by powder metallurgy.
- the content of main elements is preferably held individually or in combination, between 1.7 and 2.5% for Li, between 1.2 and 2.2% for Mg and 1.7 and 3.0% for Cu.
- the Cu value can be limited between 2 and 2.7%.
- the Zr content is preferably between 0.10 and 0.18%. Iron and silicon are preferably kept below 0.10 and 0.06% respectively.
- Homogenization can be done in a temperature range between ⁇ + 10 (° C) and ⁇ - 20 (° C); the dissolution is preferably carried out between 0 + 10 ° C.
- the optimal durations of heat treatment for homogenization at temperature ⁇ are 0.5 to 8 hours for alloys produced by rapid solidification (atomization - splat cooling - or any other means) and 12 to 72 hours for molded products or produced in semi-continuous casting.
- alloys have their optimal mechanical properties after tempering of durations of 8 to 48 hours at temperatures between 170 and 220 ° C (preferably between 180 and 200 ° C) and it is preferable to subject the products to adequate form (sheets , bars, widgets) work hardening giving rise to a plastic deformation of 1 to 5% (preferably 2 to 4%) between quenching and tempering, which makes it possible to further improve the mechanical resistance of the products without degrading their ductility.
- the alloys according to the invention have a higher mechanical strength and ductility than those of the well known alloy AlLiMgMn 01420 (Al - 5% Mg - 2% Li - 0.6% Mn) and have a compromise between higher mechanical strength and ductility than known AlLiCuMg alloys (low magnesium contents). They also have excellent resistance to laminating corrosion.
- alloys are therefore particularly advantageous for the manufacture of molded or wrought semi-finished products (produced by semi-continuous casting, atomization or splat cooling, etc.) whether they are, for example, extruded, rolled, forged or stamped.
- Figure 1 shows, in perspective, a stamped part relating to Example 2 given below.
- Billet ⁇ 200 mm were poured semi-continuously and have the analyzes shown in Table I (a). Unless otherwise indicated, the Fe and Si contents of the flows used are less than 0.04% and 0.03% respectively. These correspond either to conventional alloys (C, D), or to a known lithium alloy (E), or to alloys according to the invention (A, F) or outside the invention (B). These billets have been homogenized and spun into largets 100 x 13 mm. These were then dissolved, soaked in water and returned under the conditions given in Table I (b). The results of the mechanical tensile characteristics obtained in the long direction and through long direction are reported in Table I (c) with measurements of Ferracity (factor Kic) in the direction (LT).
- alloys according to the invention (A and F) have higher elongations and toughness than those of the known Li alloy (E) with equivalent elastic limits.
- the mechanical tensile properties obtained on alloys A and F are, moreover, close to those of conventional alloys.
- Billet ⁇ 200 mm were poured semi-continuously, homogenized, then transformed by spinning and stamping into precision stamps, the shape of which is shown in fig. 1.
- These consist of a flat bottom rectangular (1) of dimensions 489 x 70 x 3 mm, bordered, on its two longitudinal edges and a transverse edge, with three ribs (2) perpendicular to the bottom, 40 to 60 mm high and 3 to 5 mm thick, the longitudinal edges being separated by three small spacers (3) 1.5 mm thick.
- the heat treatments carried out are reported in Table II (b) and the results of the mechanical characteristics obtained in the long and long transverse directions are reported in Table II (c).
- alloys according to the invention (A and F) lead on precision stamps (not hardened between quenching and tempering) at levels of mechanical resistance and ductility at least equal to those of alloy 7175 (H ) normally used for this type of product, but more dense.
