Abstract

A method of making an aluminium base alloy plate comprises providing a body containing 3% - 6% Cu, 0.8% - 3% Mg and 0.3% - 1% Mn, apart from impurities, the balance being Al and the magnesium content being governed by the relation: Mg min = 0.32 Cu when Mn is not greater than 0.5% Mg min = 0.2 + 0.32 Cu - 0.4 Mn when Mn is greater than 0.5%, the body having a length to base ratio of at least 2:1. The body is heated to at least 800 DEG F. to homogenize its internal structure and is then forged a biscuit having a height of not more than 40% of the original body length. The biscuit is reheated to 600 DEG - 900 DEG F. flattened slightly on its sides and further compressed in the original direction into a slab having a thickness of not more than 3/4 of the biscuit height. The slab may then be cooled to room temperature. Subsequently it is hot rolled at 600 DEG - 900 DEG F. to the final plate thickness of 1" - 8". If the stock cools excessively during a hot working operation, it may be interrupted for reheating. To develop high strength and hardness, the plate is solution heat-treated at 800 DEG - 950 DEG F. for 1-12 hours, then quenched and artificially aged at 300 DEG - 400 DEG F. for 6 - 24 hours. The aging step is preferably preceded by stress relief comprising applying a permanent stretch of 1 1/2 - 3% at substantially room temperature.
