Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to thick plates of Al-Cu-Li alloy and in particular such products used in the aeronautical and aerospace industry.
- Products, especially thick rolled products, typically at least 50 mm thick, of aluminum alloy are developed to produce by cutting, surfacing or mass machining of high strength parts intended in particular for the aeronautical industry. , the aerospace industry or mechanical engineering.
- Aluminum alloys containing lithium are very interesting in this respect, since lithium can reduce the density of aluminum by 3% and increase the modulus of elasticity by 6% for each weight percent of lithium added.
- their performance compared to other properties of use must reach that of commonly used alloys, in particular in terms of a compromise between the static mechanical strength properties (yield strength, resistance to rupture) and the properties of damage tolerance (toughness, resistance to initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks), these properties being in general antinomic.
- these properties must in particular be obtained at quarter and at mid-thickness.
- These products must also have sufficient corrosion resistance, be able to be shaped according to the usual processes and have low residual stresses so that they can be machined integrally.
- No. 5,032,359 discloses a broad family of aluminum-copper-lithium alloys in which the addition of magnesium and silver, in particular between 0.3 and 0.5 percent by weight, makes it possible to increase the mechanical strength.
- US Pat. No. 7,229,509 discloses an alloy comprising (% by weight): (2.5-5.5) Cu, (0, 1-2.5) Li, (0.2-1.0) Mg, (0, 2-0.8) Ag, (0.2-0.8) Mn, 0.4 max Zr or other grain-refining agents such as Cr, Ti, Hf, Se, V, especially having KJC toughness ( L)> 37.4 MPaVm for a limit of elasticity R p o, 2 (L)> 448.2 MPa (products with a thickness greater than 76.2 mm) and in particular a tenacity KJC (L)> 38.5 MPaVm for a yield strength R p o , 2 (L)> 489.5 MPa (products less than 76.2 mm thick).

- AA2050 alloy products are known for their quality in terms of static strength and toughness, especially for thick rolled products and are selected in some aircraft.
- the interval between two operations of control of the structure depends on the speed and the way the cracks propagate in the materials used for the structure and it is advantageous to use products for which the cracks spread slowly and predictably.

- Plate E was hot rolled to a 100 mm thick sheet, the hot rolling inlet temperature was 481 ° C and the hot rolling exit temperature was 460 ° C.
- the sheets thus obtained were dissolved for 2 hours at 525 ° C. and quenched with cold water.
- the sheets thus dissolved and quenched were controlled in a controlled manner, with a permanent elongation of 4% and were tempered for 18 hours at 155 ° C. (A, B, C and E) or 24 hours at 155 ° C. (D).
- KJC Stress intensity factor measured at 1 ⁇ 4 thickness (T / 4) and at mid-thickness (T / 2) determined according to ASTM E 399.
- Fatigue crack propagation tests on L-S specimens were performed on samples from sheets C and E. The tests were performed according to ASTM E647. These tests are carried out on CCT test specimens, with central crack, width 100 mm and thickness 6.35 mm.
- Figure 2 shows the crack propagation rate results for the samples tested with the CCT test specimen. The results are summarized in Table 5 below.
- Figures 3a and 3b show, respectively, the samples from sheets A and D after the fatigue test.
- the samples from the sheet A according to the invention have a progressive crack bifurcation with in 4 cases out of 6 (Cl, C2, Bl, A2) a rupture by the rear face of the test piece.
- the distance d on which the crack is neither in the initial direction S nor in the direction L is at least 15 mm for all the samples coming from the sheet A, because in no case does the crack join the direction L.
- the predominantly recrystallized product according to the invention has a particularly advantageous fatigue crack propagation.
- the samples thus obtained were dissolved for 2 hours at 525 ° C. and then quenched with cold water and were tempered.
- Samples F and G are mainly recrystallized.
