United States Patent" METHOD OF WORKING AND HEAT TREATING ALUMINUM MAGNESIUM ALLOYS AND PROD- UCT THEREOF Hugh S. Cooper, Shaker Heights, Ohio, assignor to William F. Jobbins, Incorporated, Aurora, Ill., a corporation of Illinois No Drawing. Application October 12, 1956 Serial No. 615,456
3 Claims. (Cl. 148--11.5)
This invention relates to aluminum alloys in which magnesium is a major alloying element and it relates more particularly to the provision of aluminum-magnesium alloys which are wrought alloys, having been fabricated by forging, rolling, extruding and other fabricating procedures involving substantial mechanical working.
Wrought alloys which are known as heat-treatable alloys comprise those in which solid solutionand precipitation heat treatments produce the desired tempers in the final product, while non-heat treatable wrought alloys comprise those where the various tempers are produced by strain hardening or the like, solution heat treatment having no significant effect. While the former have generally highest strengths, they arev characterized by low corrosion resistance, particularly in the case of aluminum-magnesium heat-treatable alloys (this low resistance apparently involves predominantly the phenomenon known as stress corrosion). Theseheat-treatable alloys must therefore be protected by cladding in many if not most applications.
The present invention discloses how to produce wrought alloys which inherently have high corrosion resistance and do not require cladding but which have strength properties closely approaching those of the best of the heat-treatable wrought alloys of the priorart. The strength properties of the wrought alloys provided according to the present invention and the heat-treatable alloys now in use are even more comparable when the latter are taken as clad alloys, which indeed must be done for a fair comparison in the cases of the many specific uses where corrosion resistance is required. Of course, it follows that the strength properties of alloys provided according to the present invention far exceed those of the commercially useful, non-heat-treatable wrought aluminum alloys of the prior art.
I have discovered that certain aluminum-magnesium compositions, heretofore regarded as casting compositions, will respond under certain conditions to the common mechanical workingprocesses to be converted to wrought alloys having the advantages mentioned above. These alloys comprise what may apparently be most appropriately characterized as non-heat-treatable alloys which may be employed either in the cold worked or annealed state. The surface finishes of these alloys are of exceptionally high quality and they are therefore much superior in this respect even to present commercially useful, nonheat-treatable wrought alloys.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide wrought aluminum alloys which have strength properties comparable with the best heat-treatable wrought aluminum alloys of the prior art, but which do not require cladding for use in numerous applications where such prior art heat-treatable wrought aluminum alloys would require cladding.
Another object of the invention is to provide wrought aluminum alloys which are superior to all others in many applications in the manufacture of architectural structural components, marineequipment, cooking utensils, dairy equipment and otheruses.
As anernbodiment of the invention (which is given by way of example and not by way of limitation to all the precise details thereof) an alloy is provided from those alloys comprising magnesium 5-8%, titanium .10-.25%, manganese .l0-.25%, beryllium .0005-.05%, balance, aluminum; or from alloys comprising the same components plus .001-.05% boron, this element appearing to be of benefit in most instances. Other metals which may be present may include copper, iron, silicon and the like, and they can be considered impurities. Impurities should not exceed a combined total of about 50% of the alloy.
Certain alloys included within the ranges specified above have gained Wide acceptance throughout the aluminum industry and are presently commonly known as Almag 35. They are, however, used only in the cast condition as produced in sand or permanent molds or the like. In this connection, reference is made to U. S. Patents 2,564,044; 2,583,473 and 2,733,991. These Almag 35 alloyshave not been found useful for the manufacture of wrought aluminum alloy products.
The. alloy providedfrom those specified above is soaked for a period of hours. at a temperature of from about 700-750 F. The minimum soaking time may vary from hour. to hours. or more, preferably not over 24hours in most cases, depending on the massiveness of the metal. If any doubt exists as to sufficiency of the soaking of a given kind and shape of charge, the soaking time maybe made excessive and may then be varied downwardly in succeeding trials with similar chargesuntil. a workable minimum is established.
After soaking, the charge is formed by operations which involve mechanical working such as forging, rolling, extruding, and the like, until the charge is reduced in cross-sectional area about and preferably at least within the range of about from 40 to During this initial reduction, the metal ismaintained at temperatures not exceeding, and not substantially below, the previously mentioned range of from about 700750 F. This may be done, for example, by frequent passes through or into and out of a furnace pit or other hot zone. After this initial reduction, the metal is fully anneal d by repeating the soaking step at the previously mentioned range of from about 705F750" F.
An aluminum-magnesium alloy provided in this manner may be regarded at this stage as a processed raw material which may be further reduced at later times (and after shipment, if desired). by cold working during conventional forming operations at least down to 16% of starting cross section. It can be thereafter annealed, if desired.
An aluminum-magnesium product made according to the above disclosure was found to have an ultimate strength of 75,000 pounds per square inch,v a yield strength of 60,000 pounds per square inch, and an elongation of about 5%. After full annealing, the same material was found to have an ultimate strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch, a yield strength of 26,000 pouudsper square inch, and an elongation of 32%.
For comparison purposes, these results areset forth in the following tablestogether with' several of the wellpresently known heat-treatable wrought aluminum alloys.
