Definitions
- the invention relates to wrought products aluminum alloys - copper - lithium, more particularly, such products, their manufacturing processes and use, intended in particular for aeronautical and aerospace construction.
- Aluminum alloy rolled products are developed to produce structural elements for the aerospace industry and the aerospace industry in particular.
- Aluminum - copper - lithium alloys are particularly promising for this type of product.
- the specifications imposed by the aeronautical industry for fatigue performance are high.
- Thick products of Al-Cu-Li alloy are described in particular in applications US2005 / 0006008 and US2009 / 0159159.
- this type of treatment remains difficult to perform for the quantities necessary for the manufacture of thick plates.
- a first object of the invention is a method of manufacturing an aluminum alloy product comprising the steps in which
- the hydrogen content of said liquid metal bath (1) is less than 0.4 ml / 100 g, the oxygen content measured above the liquid surface (14, 15) is less than 0.5% by volume ,
- the distributor used (7) for the casting is made of fabric comprising essentially carbon, that it comprises a lower face (76), an upper face defining the orifice through which the liquid metal is introduced (71) and a wall; of substantially rectangular section, the wall comprising two longitudinal parts parallel to the width W (720, 721) and two transverse parts parallel to the thickness T (730, 731) said portions transverse and longitudinal being formed of at least two tissues, a first substantially obturating and semi-rigid tissue (77) ensuring the maintenance of the dispenser shape during casting and a second non-sealing fabric (78) allowing the passage and filtration liquid, said first and second webs being bonded to each other without overlapping or overlapping and without gap between them, said first fabric continuously covering at least 30% of the area of said wall portions (720,721, 730 731) and being positioned so that the liquid surface is in contact with it over the entire section.
- Another object of the invention is a dispenser for the semi-continuous casting of fabric aluminum alloy plates comprising essentially carbon, comprising a lower face (76), an upper face defining the orifice through which the metal liquid is introduced (71) and a wall of substantially rectangular section, the wall comprising two longitudinal portions parallel to the width W (720, 721) and two transverse portions parallel to the thickness T (730, 731) said transverse and longitudinal portions being formed of at least two fabrics, a first substantially obturating and semi-rigid fabric (77) ensuring the maintenance of the shape of the dispenser during casting and a second non-sealing fabric (78) permitting the passage and filtration of the liquid, said first and second webs being bonded to one another without overlapping or overlapping and without interstices separating them, said first web covering continuously at least 30% of the area of said wall portions (720, 721, 730, 731) being positioned so that the liquid surface is in contact therewith throughout the section.
- Figure 1 is the diagram of the test pieces used for the tests in smooth fatigue (Fig la) and in fatigue with hole (Fig lb). Dimensions are given in mm.
- Figure 2 is a general diagram of the solidification device used in one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 is a general diagram of the dispenser used in the process according to the invention.
- Figure 4 shows representations of the bottom and the lateral and longitudinal parts of the distributor wall according to one embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5 shows the relationship between the smooth fatigue performance and the hydrogen content of the liquid metal bath during solidification (Fig. 5a) or the oxygen content measured above the liquid surface during solidification (Fig. 5b).
- Figure 6 shows the Wohler curves obtained with tests 3, 7 and 8 in the direction L-T ( Figure 6a) and T-L ( Figure 6b).
- the static mechanical characteristics in tension in other words the tensile strength R m , the conventional yield stress at 0.2% elongation R p0.2 , and the elongation at break A% are determined by a tensile test according to standard NF EN ISO 6892-1, the sampling and the direction of the test being defined by the EN 485-1 standard.
- the test conditions follow the ASTM E466 standard.
- the logarithmic average of the results obtained on at least 4 test pieces is determined.
- N the number of cycles to failure
- N 0 the number of cycles to failure
- n -4.5.
- the IQF corresponding to the median is reported, ie 50% rupture per 100,000 cycles.
- a thick wrought product is a product whose thickness is at least 6 mm.
- the thickness of the products according to the invention is at least 80 mm and preferably at least 100 mm.
- the thickness of the wrought products is at least 120 mm or preferably 140 mm.
