- a cold rolling step of at least 7% and preferably at least 9% is carried out before achieving a controlled pull with a permanent deformation of 1 to 3%.
- An income is made comprising heating at a temperature between 130 and 170 0 C and preferably between 150 and 160 0 C for 5 to 100 hours and preferably from 10 to 40h so as to achieve a yield strength R p0> 2 close to the elastic limit R p0> 2 at the peak.
- R p0> 2 close to the elastic limit R p0> 2 at the peak.
- a point N of the yield curve, of duration equivalent to 155 0 C N and of elastic limit R p0 , 2 (N) is close to the peak by determining the slope P N the tangent to the income curve at the point N. It is considered in the context of the present invention that the elastic limit of a point N of the yield curve is close to the yield strength at the peak if the value absolute slope P N is at most 3 MPa / h. As illustrated by FIG. 1, an under-income state is a state for which P N is positive and an over-income state is a state for which P N is negative.
- the equivalent time t at 155 ° C. is defined by the formula: where T (in Kelvin) is the instantaneous metal processing temperature, which changes with time t (in hours), and T ref is a reference temperature set at 428Kt; is expressed in hours.
- T (in Kelvin) is the instantaneous metal processing temperature, which changes with time t (in hours)
- T ref is a reference temperature set at 428Kt; is expressed in hours.
- the elastic limit close to the yield strength at the peak is typically at least 90%, generally even at least 95% and frequently at least 97% of the elastic limit R p0,2 at the peak.
- the yield strength at the peak is generally satisfactorily evaluated by varying the residence time between 10 and 70 h for a temperature of 155 ° C. after a pull of 3.5%.
- the clearly underdeveloped states correspond to compromises between the static mechanical resistance (Rpo, 2, Rm) and the damage tolerance (toughness, resistance to crack propagation in fatigue) more interesting than peak and a fortiori that beyond the peak.
- the present inventors have found that a state under income but close to the peak makes it possible both to obtain a compromise between static mechanical resistance and damage tolerance of interest, but also to improve the performance in terms of corrosion resistance and thermal stability.
- the use of an under-income state close to the peak makes it possible to improve the robustness of the industrial process: a variation in the income conditions leads to a small variation in the properties obtained.
- the products according to the invention are particularly advantageous for producing products that are machined in the mass, such as, in particular, intrados or extrados elements whose skin and stiffeners come from the same starting material, longitudinal members and ribs, and than any other use where the present properties could be advantageous
- Table 1 Composition in% by weight and density of Al-Cu-Li alloys cast in the form of the EU. (Ref: reference; Inv: invention).

- the plates were homogenized at approximately 500 ° C. for approximately 12 hours and then debited and scalped to obtain slugs of size 400 ⁇ 335 ⁇ 90 mm.
- the slabs were hot rolled to obtain sheets having a thickness of 20 mm.
- the sheets were dissolved at 505 +/- 20 ° C. for 1 h, quenched with water at 75 ° C. so as to obtain a cooling rate of approximately 18 ° C./s and thus to simulate the properties obtained. at mid-thickness of sheet of thickness 80 mm.
- the sheets were then trimmed with a permanent elongation of 3.5%.
- the sheets received an income of between 10 h and 50 h at 155 ° C. Samples were taken at mid-thickness to measure the static mechanical characteristics in traction as well as the tenacity K Q.
- K Q obtained from this specimen type are lower than those obtained from samples having a thickness and a greater width.
- the products according to the invention have a significantly improved property compromise compared to the reference products.
- Table 3 Composition in% by weight and density of Al-Cu-Li alloys cast in plate form.
- the plates were homogenized and then scalped. After homogenization, the plates were hot-rolled to obtain sheets having a thickness of 50 mm. The sheets were dissolved in cold water and fractionated with a permanent elongation of between 3.5% and 4.5%
- points 8, 9 and 10 have been added to FIG. 2 (slope P N between 0 and 3), although they relate to specimens of different geometry for the measurement of K Q (K IC ) in order to facilitate the comparison between the invention and the prior art.
