- the lithium content is between 1.4 and 1.8%. In an advantageous embodiment, the lithium content is between 1.42 and 1.77% by weight.
- the silver content is between 0.1 and 0.5% by weight. The present inventors have found that a significant amount of silver is not needed to achieve the desired improvement in the trade-off between strength and damage tolerance. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the silver content is between 0.15 and 0.35% by weight. In one embodiment of the invention, which has the advantage of minimizing the density, the silver content is at most 0.25% by weight.
- the magnesium content is between 0.1 and 1.0% by weight and preferably it is less than 0.4% by weight.
- the combination of specific homogenization conditions and the simultaneous addition of zirconium and manganese is an essential feature of the invention.
- the zirconium content must be between 0.05 and 0.18% by weight and the manganese content must be between 0.2 and 0.6% by weight.
- the manganese content is at most 0.35% by weight.

- the decrease in density is generally associated with a degradation of the properties. In the context of the invention, it is possible surprisingly to combine a low density with a compromise of very advantageous mechanical properties.
- the liquid metal bath is then cast in a raw form, such as a billet, a rolling plate or a forging blank.
- the crude form is then homogenized at a temperature of between 515 ° C. and 525 ° C. so that the equivalent time t (eq) at 520 ° C. for homogenization is between 5 and 20 hours and preferably between 6 and 20 hours. and 15 hours.
- the equivalent time t (eq) at 520 ° C. is defined by the formula: where T (in Kelvin) is the instantaneous treatment temperature, which changes with time t (in hours), and T ref is a reference temperature set at 793 K. t (eq) is expressed in hours.

- the times indicated correspond to times for which the metal is actually at the desired temperature.
- the homogenization conditions according to the invention make it possible to improve, surprisingly, the compromise between toughness and mechanical strength with respect to conditions in which the combination of duration and temperature is lower or higher. It is generally accepted by those skilled in the art that, in order to minimize the homogenization time, it is advantageous to carry out the homogenization at the highest possible temperature so as to avoid local melting so as to accelerate the scattering of elements and precipitation of dispersoids.
- the present inventors have found on the contrary for the alloy composition according to the invention, a surprising favorable effect of a combination of duration and homogenization temperature lower than that according to the prior art.
- the raw form is generally cooled to room temperature before being preheated for hot deformation.
- Preheating aims to achieve a temperature preferably between 400 and 500 ° C and preferably of the order of 450 0 C allowing the deformation of the raw form.
- Preheating is typically 20 hours at 520 ° C for plates.
- the times and temperatures mentioned for preheating correspond to the time spent in the oven and the temperature of the oven and not to the temperature actually reached by the metal and the time spent in this oven. temperature.
- induction preheating is advantageous.
- Hot deformation and optionally cold deformation is typically performed by spinning, rolling and / or forging to obtain a spun, rolled and / or forged product.
- the product thus obtained is then put in solution preferably by heat treatment between 490 and 530 ° C for 15 min to 8 h, then typically quenched with water at room temperature or preferably cold water.
- the product then undergoes a controlled pull of 1 to 5% and preferably of at least 2%.
- cold rolling is carried out with a reduction of between 5% and 15% before the controlled pulling step.
- Known steps such as planing, straightening, shaping may optionally be performed before or after the controlled pull.
- An income is produced at a temperature between 140 and 170 0 C for 5 to 70 hours so that the product has a conventional yield strength measured at 0.2% an elongation of at least 440 MPa and preferably at least 460 MPa.
- the present inventors have found that, surprisingly, the combination of the homogenization conditions according to the invention with a preferred income achieved by heating at 148 to 155 ° C. for 10 to 40 hours makes it possible in certain cases to reach a level of toughness. Kic (LT) particularly high.
- the present inventors believe that the products obtained by the process according to the invention have a very particular microstructure, although they have not yet been able to describe it precisely.
- the size, the distribution and the morphology of the dispersoids containing manganese seem to be remarkable for the products obtained by the process according to the invention, however the complete characterization of its dispersoids, whose size is of the order of 50 to 100 nm, requires observations in electron microscopy at a magnification of x 30 000, quantified and numerous which explains the difficulty of obtaining a reliable description.
- the products according to the invention preferably have a substantially non-recrystallized granular structure. By essentially non-recrystallized it is understood that at least 80% and preferably at least 90% of the grains are not recrystallized at quarter and mid-product thickness.
