Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of rolled, extruded or forged aluminum alloy products Al-Si-Mg 6000 series according to the alloy designations of the Aluminum Association, for the manufacture of structural elements of aircraft, including fuselage elements.
  • the fuselages of commercial aircraft are made for the most part from alloy sheets 2024 in the T3 or T351 state, plated on both sides with a low-alloy aluminum alloy, for example an alloy 1050 or 1070, in the aim to improve the resistance to corrosion.
  • a low-alloy aluminum alloy for example an alloy 1050 or 1070
  • the thickness of the plating may be between 2 and 12% of the total thickness.
  • the US Patent 4589932 (Alcoa ) describes the use, for aircraft structural elements, of an alloy, subsequently registered under the designation 6013, of composition (% by weight): If: 0.4 - 1.2 Mg: 0.5 - 1.3 Cu: 0.6 - 1.1 Mn: 0.1 - 1 Fe ⁇ 0.6
  • the EP 0173632 in the name of the applicant, describes an alloy, subsequently registered under the designation 6056, of composition: If: 0.9 - 1.2 Mg: 0.7 - 1.1 Cu: 0.3 - 1.1 Mn: 0.25 - 0.75 Zn: 0.1 - 0.7 Zr: 0.07 - 0.2 Fe ⁇ 0.3
  • the EP 0787217 also in the name of the Applicant, relates to a particular tempering treatment, leading to a T78 state, for an alloy of the type 6056, so as to desensitize it to intercrystalline corrosion, and thus to permit its use without plating for the fuselage of aircraft.
  • This income is defined by a total duration, measured in equivalent time at 175 ° C, between 30 and 300 hours, and preferably between 70 and 120 hours.
  • This development was the subject of a communication from R. Dif, D. Bechet, T. Warner and H. Ribes: "6056 T78: A corrosion resistant copper-rich 6xxx alloy for aerospace applications” at ICAA-6 (July 1998) in Toyohashi (Japan), and published in Congress proceedings, pages 1991-1996 .
  • the forming of the pieces is preferably in the T4 state, in which the alloy 6056 has excellent formability.
  • the income is made on the formed parts and possibly welded.
  • the figure 1 represents, in the form of Wöhler curves, the fatigue life of samples according to example 1 in the T6 and T78 state, before and after prolonged exposure in the marine atmosphere.
  • the figure 2 represents the results of the intercrystalline corrosion tests as a function of the TL yield strength in the T4 state for the samples of Examples 6 and 7.
  • the plate was reheated to 530 ° C, scalped, hot rolled and then cold to 3.2 mm thickness. Samples of the sheet obtained were dissolved at 550 ° C., quenched with water, finished and subjected to an income. For some, the income was 8 h at 175 ° C to obtain the T6 state, that is to say the state corresponding to the maximum mechanical strength; for the others, it was 6 hours at 175 ° C.
  • the toughness was also measured by the R curve method according to ASTM E 561.
  • the curve R also allows, for example by the method of L.
  • the plate was transformed under the same conditions as in Example 1, except for the income at the T78 state.
  • Part of the samples received an income of 6 h at 175 ° C and 5 h at 210 ° C, a total equivalent time at 175 ° C of 105 h, in accordance with the preferential teaching of EP 0787217 .
  • Another part was tempered for 6 hours at 175 ° C. and 13 hours at 190 ° C., a total equivalent time at 175 ° C.
  • Table 7 Three plates of alloys A, B and C were cast, whose compositions (in% by weight), included in the range of composition of the invention, and the final rolling thickness e, are shown in Table 7: Table 7 alloy e (mm) Yes mg Cu mn Fe Zn Si + 2 Mg AT 1.4 to 3.2 0.93 0.75 0.60 0.63 0.10 0.16 2.43 B 4-8 0.91 0.76 0.64 0.59 0.13 0.17 2.43 VS 4,5-6 0.94 0.80 0.64 0.56 0.10 0.13 2.54
  • the plates were transformed identically to those of the preceding examples until the income, except that, for the thicknesses greater than or equal to 4.5 mm, indicated in Table 7, there was no rolling at cold.
  • the same yield was carried out for 6 hours at 175 ° C. for 13 hours at 190 ° C., ie a total equivalent time at 175 ° C. of 55 hours.
  • the same measurements were carried out as in the preceding examples: static mechanical characteristics in the direction of TL R 0.2 (in MPa), Rm (in MPa) and A (in%), sensitivity to intercrystalline corrosion, tenacity in the TL direction (in MPa) ⁇ m), and crack propagation velocity (TL direction). The results are shown in Tables 8, 9 and 10.

  • a second plate has undergone a manufacturing range B comprising the same steps with the exception of the prior homogenization.
  • the grain size (thickness e and length l), at the surface and at the mid-thickness of the sheet, were measured in the T4 state (before tempering) by optical microscopy on a polished section, as well as the distribution of the Al dispersoids. Mn-Si in transmission electron microscopy. This distribution is evaluated by the Equivalent Circle Diameter (ECD) parameter ⁇ 4A / ⁇ in which A is the area of the phases observed on the micrographic section. To characterize the formability, the parameter LDH (Limit Dome Height) is used. This parameter is defined in the request for EP Patent 1045043 in the name of the plaintiff.
