Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of alloy sheets medium and high strength aluminum used in the mechanical, aeronautical and space engineering and in armament.
  • high-strength aluminum alloys have been used in aeronautical and space construction, essentially Al-Cu alloys of the 2000 series (according to the designation of the Aluminum Association in the USA), for example alloys 2014 , 2019 and 2024, and Al-Zn-Mg and Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys of the 7000 series, for example alloys 7020 and 7075.
  • alloys 2000 and 7000 have a much better temperature resistance than that of most alloys 2000 and 7000, and at least equivalent to that of alloys in these series specially studied for their temperature resistance, such as alloys 2019 and 2618.
  • Al-Si alloys are widely used for the production of molded parts. However, in this form, they have far lower mechanical strength, fatigue and toughness properties than the wrought and transformed alloys 2000 and 7000 used in structural parts. In rare cases, they can be used in laminated form, in particular for covering plated sheets intended for the manufacture of brazed heat exchangers. Alloys 4343, 4104, 4045 and 4047 are thus used, for example, the properties sought in this case being essentially a low melting temperature and good wettability.
  • Al-Si alloys can also be spun in the form of bars or profiles which, due to their good resistance to wear and temperature, are used in mechanical parts such as connecting rods, brake master cylinders, drive shafts , bearings and various components of motors and compressors.
  • One of the alloys used for this purpose is 4032.
  • French patent FR 2291284 describes the manufacture of AlSi alloy sheets containing 4 to 15% Si by continuous casting between two cooled cylinders. This casting mode is intended to increase the elongation at break, and therefore the formability. They are not high-strength sheets usable in structural applications, since the sheets are simply annealed and the elastic limits exemplified do not exceed not 220 MPa.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore sheets heat treated by dissolving, quenching and optionally tempering so as to obtain an elastic limit R 0.2 greater than 320 MPa, intended for mechanical, naval, aeronautical or space construction made of alloy of following composition (by weight): Yes 6.5 to 11% Mg 0.5 to 1.0% Cu ⁇ 0.8% Fe ⁇ 0.3% Mn ⁇ 0.5% and / or Cr ⁇ 0.5% Sr 0.008 to 0.025% Ti ⁇ 0.02% the total of the other elements being less than 0.2%, the rest being aluminum.
  • the silicon content is preferably between 6.5 and 8%, corresponding to that of the AS7G alloy.
  • Another object of the invention is the use of especially medium or thick sheets of this alloy for the undersides of aircraft wings, of particularly thin sheets for the coating of aircraft fuselages, of sheets for the manufacture of tanks cryogenic rockets, floors and skips of industrial vehicles and hulls or supersructures of boats.
  • Another object of the invention is the method of manufacturing sheets according to claim 9.
  • the sheets according to the invention have silicon contents generally corresponding to the fields of alloys AS7G and AS9G according to French standard NF A 57-702 or the designations A 357 and A 359 of the Aluminum Association.
  • Magnesium should not exceed 1% to avoid the formation of the insoluble intermetallic compound Mg 2 Si.
  • Copper must be limited to 0.8% to avoid the formation of insoluble phases Mg 2 Si and Q (AlMgSiCu). This content also makes it possible to limit the sensitivity to intercrystalline corrosion.
  • Iron is also limited to 0.3%, and preferably 0.08%, as it is in 7000 alloys for heavy plate, when good toughness and / or good elongation.
  • the presence of titanium is linked to the refining of the titanium plates, identical to that used for current medium and high strength alloys.
  • the sheets according to the invention can be obtained by vertical casting of plates, hot rolling up to 6 mm, optionally cold rolling in the case of thin sheets, dissolving between 545 and 555 ° C, quenching with cold water, maturation at room temperature and / or tempering between 6 and 24 hours at a temperature between 150 and 195 ° C.
  • Hot rolling can be preceded by homogenization between 530 and 550 ° C for a duration of less than 20 h, short enough to avoid a globalization of the fibrous eutectic and a marked coalescence of the manganese and / or chromium, when the alloy contains it.
  • a very fine, non-globular eutectic microstructure is obtained in the final state, which has a favorable effect on the toughness.
  • the alloy is weldable by conventional TIG or MIG processes, continuous or pulsed, depending on whether it is a thin or thick sheet, and its density is always lower than that of traditional 2000 and 7000 alloys.
  • Plates with a cross section of 380 x 120 mm of alloy of the following composition (by weight) were produced by vertical casting: Yes 6.77% Mg 0.59% Cu 0.24% Fe 0.06% Mn 0.31% Sr 0.016% Ti 0.01% the total of the other elements being less than 0.2% and the rest being aluminum.
  • the alloy was homogenized at 550 ° C for 8 hours, after a temperature rise of 4 hours, reheated for 2 hours at 500 ° C, then hot rolled up to 20 mm thick on a reversible rolling mill.
  • Cut sheets were placed in solution for 2 hours at 550 ° C, soaked in water and subjected to an income of 8 hours at 175 ° C, ie a state T651 according to the designations of the Aluminum Association.
  • the alloy has a density of 2,678 and a modulus of elasticity E of 74,100 MPa, or a specific module of 27,670 MPa, was measured on the sheet by the hysteresis loop method in tension. 2.770, 72,500 MPa and 26,175 MPa respectively for a sheet of the same thickness in 2024 alloy in the T351 state, an increase of 5.7% in the specific module. This increase is more than 9% higher compared to alloy 2219 for welded construction.
