Definitions
- the invention generally relates to wrought products made of aluminum-copper-lithium alloys, and more particularly to such products in the form of profiles intended to produce stiffeners in aeronautical construction.
- Aluminum alloys containing lithium are very attractive in this regard, because 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 must reach that of commonly used alloys, particularly in terms of compromise between static mechanical strength properties (yield strength, breaking strength) and damage tolerance properties ( toughness, resistance to fatigue crack propagation), these properties being generally contradictory.
- These alloys must also have sufficient corrosion resistance, be able to be shaped according to usual processes and have low residual stresses so that they can be fully machined.
- the patent US 5,198,045 describes a family of Weldalite TM alloys comprising (in wt%) (2.4-3.5)Cu, (1.35-1.8)Li, (0.25-0.65)Mg, (0 .25-0.65)Ag, (0.08-0.25)Zr. Wrought products manufactured with these alloys combine a density of less than 2.64 g/cm 3 and an interesting compromise between mechanical resistance and toughness.
- the patent US 7,229,509 describes a family of Weldalite TM alloys comprising (in wt%) (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, (up to 0.4) Zr or other elements such as Cr, Ti, Hf, Sc and V.
- the examples shown have a compromise between mechanical resistance and toughness improved but their density is greater than 2.7 g/cm 3 .
- the patent application WO2007/080267 describes a Weldalite TM alloy not containing zirconium intended for fuselage sheets comprising (in % by weight) (2.1-2.8) Cu, (1.1-1.7) Li, (0.2- 0.6) Mg, (0.1-0.8) Ag, (0.2-0.6) Mn.
- alloy AA2196 comprising (in % by weight) (2.5-3.3) Cu, (1.4-2.1) Li, (0.25-0.8) Mg, (0 .25-0.6) Ag, (0.04-0.18) Zr and at most 0.35 Mn.
- Yet another object of the invention is a process for manufacturing a wrought product comprising the casting of a raw form according to the process of the invention and steps of rolling or extrusion and/or forging, solution processing, quenching, stress relieving and optionally tempering.
- Yet another object of the invention is a structural element incorporating at least one product obtained by the method of manufacturing a wrought product according to the invention or manufactured from an alloy product according to the invention.
- alloys are expressed as a weight percentage based on the total weight of the alloy.
- the designation of alloys is done in accordance with The Aluminum regulations. Association, known to those skilled in the art. Density depends on composition and is determined by calculation rather than a weight measurement method. Values are calculated in accordance with The Aluminum Association procedure, which is described on pages 2-12 and 2.13 of “Aluminum Standards and Data”. Definitions of metallurgical conditions are given in European standard EN 515 (2009).
- the static mechanical characteristics in other words the breaking strength R m , the conventional yield strength at 0.2% elongation R p0.2 (“yield strength”) and l elongation at break A, are determined by a tensile test according to standard EN 10002-1 (2001), the sampling and direction of the test being defined by standard EN 485-1 (2016).
- the stress intensity factor (K Q ) is determined according to ASTM E 399 (2012).
- the ASTM E 399 (2012) standard gives paragraphs 9.1.3 and 9.1.4 criteria which allow us to determine whether K Q is a valid value of K 1C .
- a K 1C value is always a K Q value, the converse not being true.
- the criteria of paragraphs 9.1.3 and 9.1.4 of standard ASTM E399 (2012) are not always verified, however for a given specimen geometry, the values of K Q presented are always comparable to each other, the specimen geometry making it possible to obtain a valid value of K 1C not always being accessible given the constraints linked to the dimensions of the sheets or profiles.
- the thickness of the profiles is defined according to standard EN 2066:2001: the cross section is divided into elementary rectangles of dimensions A and B; A always being the largest dimension of the elementary rectangle and B can be considered as the thickness of the elementary rectangle.
- structural element or “structural element” of a mechanical construction a mechanical part for which the static and/or dynamic mechanical properties are particularly important for the performance of the structure, and for which a structural calculation is usually prescribed or carried out.
- these structural elements include in particular the elements which make up the fuselage (such as the fuselage skin), the fuselage stiffeners or stringers (stringers), the bulkheads (bulkheads), the fuselage frames.
- fuselage (circumferential frames), the wings (such as the wing skin), the stiffeners (stringers or stiffeners), the ribs (ribs) and spars (spars)) and the empennage composed in particular of horizontal and vertical stabilizers (horizontal or vertical stabilizers), as well as floor beams, seat tracks and doors.
- the present inventors have found that, surprisingly, for certain AlCuLiMgMnZr alloys of particularly low density containing less than 0.1% by weight of silver and a joint addition of copper, lithium, magnesium and manganese, the specific choice of a particular zirconium content, depending on the lithium content, makes it possible to very significantly improve the robustness of the manufacturing process while maintaining for the product a satisfactory compromise between mechanical resistance and tolerance to damage.
- robustness of the manufacturing process we mean here generating little scrap linked in particular to hot slot problems and allowing the use of a significant quantity of recycled alloy.
- the copper content of the alloy according to the invention for which both the compromise of properties and the improvement of the feasibility of the process are obtained is 2.4 to 3.2% by weight.
- the copper content is 2.5 to 3.0% by weight and preferably 2.6 to 2.9% by weight.
- the copper content is 2.4 to 2.6% by weight.
- the lithium content of the alloy according to the invention is such that it makes it possible to obtain a product having a particularly interesting density, in particular a density less than 2.63 g/cm 3 , more particularly less than 2.62 g /cm 3 and, more particularly, less than or equal to 2.61 g/cm 3 .
- the lithium content of the alloy is thus greater than 1.6% by weight, preferably greater than 1.7% by weight and, even more preferably, greater than 1.9% by weight.
- Such a lithium content induces a very high sensitivity to oxidation, hydrogenation and hot cracking, causing difficulties in casting the alloy and, consequently, requires very specific manufacturing processes.
- Requirement WO2015/086921 describes in particular the fact that, lithium being particularly oxidizable, the casting of aluminum-copper-lithium alloys generates more fatigue crack initiation sites than for type 2XXX alloys without lithium.
- problems of hot splitting or cracking in the core of the raw form during casting are also generally observed.
- the problem of hot cracking can be remedied by strongly refining the alloy during casting. It is in fact known that the risk of hot cracking is higher as the casting grain is coarser. A reduction in grain size as well as a change in grain shape can be achieved by adding large amounts of grain refiner during casting. Typical grain refiners are Al3%Ti0.15%C, Al1%Ti0.15%C, Al3%Ti1%B and Al5%Ti1%B in wire form usually added in-line. The addition of these agents induces the dispersion of fine boride or carbide particles in the liquid metal which will serve as grain nucleation sites during solidification.
- grain refining agents comprising titanium as well as that of remelting of alloys also containing titanium rapidly induces, as the alloy production cycles progress, an increase in the content of total titanium of the alloy, which degrades the damage tolerance properties of the wrought product and thus limits the possible contribution of recycled metal in the load.
- an AlCuLiMgMnZr alloy according to the invention having in particular particular Li and Zr contents, made it possible to improve the robustness of the manufacturing process and to limit or even to eliminate the supply of grain refining agents.
- the lithium content of the alloy according to the invention is thus greater than 1.6% by weight, preferably greater than 1.7% by weight and, even more preferably, greater than 1.9% by weight.
- the Li content of the alloy is 1.7 to 2.3% by weight or another 2.0 to 2.2% by weight.
- the high lithium content in particular exacerbates the sensitivity to oxidation of the liquid metal bath and promotes core cracking problems during casting, which requires reducing the casting speed.
- the zirconium content is 0.13 to 0.16% by weight; and more preferably from 0.14 to 0.15% by weight.
- the present inventors believe that the alloy composition according to the precisely selected invention allows the formation of cubic crystalline phases Al 3 Zr and Al 3 (Zr, Li) which are structurally similar to the phase metastable Al 3 Li which is known to precipitate by demixing of the solid solution during tempering after solution and quenching but which is not supposed to form from the liquid, the known stable form being the tetragonal variety.
- the formation of such phases thanks to the specifically selected composition of the alloy could be the origin of grain nucleation sites during the solidification of the as-cast form, thus allowing the formation of an extremely fine granular structure in the presence of a conventional quantity of grain refining agent or making it possible to limit, possibly eliminate, the supply of grain refining agent during casting.
- the zirconium content of the alloy according to the invention is advantageously such that Zr ⁇ -0.06*Li + 0.242, preferably such that Zr ⁇ -0.06*Li + 0.2575.
- the Li and Zr contents of the alloy according to the invention are such that Zr*Li ⁇ 0.235, preferably Zr*Li ⁇ 0.242, more preferably Zr*Li ⁇ 0.275.
- the magnesium content is 0.3 to 0.9% by weight and, preferably, 0.5 to 0.7% by weight.
- the manganese content is 0.2 to 0.6% by weight, preferably 0.3 to 0.6% by weight and, even more preferably 0.4 to 0.5% by weight. Manganese in particular makes it possible to achieve a satisfactory compromise of properties for the wrought product.
- the silver content is less than 0.15% by weight, preferably less than 0.1% by weight and, more preferably still less than 0.05% by weight.
- the present inventors have found that the advantageous compromise between mechanical strength and damage tolerance known for alloys typically containing about 0.3% by weight of silver can be obtained for alloys containing essentially no silver with the selection composition carried out.
- the zinc content is less than 1.0% by weight, preferably less than 0.9% by weight. According to a first particular embodiment, the zinc content is between 0.1 and 0.5% by weight and preferably between 0.2 and 0.4% by weight. According to a second particular embodiment, the zinc content is less than 0.05% by weight.
- the alloy also contains at least one element capable of contributing to grain size control selected from Ti, Cr, Sc, Hf and V, the amount of the element, if chosen, being 0.01 to 0 .15% by weight, preferably 0.01 to 0.05% for Ti, from 0.01 to 0.15% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 0.1% by weight for Sc, from 0.01 to 0 .3% by weight and preferably from 0.02 to 0.1% by weight for Cr and V and from 0.01 to 0.5% by weight for Hf.
- titanium is chosen in the aforementioned contents and even more advantageously in a content ranging from 0.01 to 0.03% by weight.
- the unavoidable impurities include iron and silicon, these impurities have a total content of less than 0.20% by weight and preferably respectively a content of less than 0.08% by weight and 0.06% by weight for iron and silicon.
- silicon; the other elements are impurities which preferably have a content of less than 0.05% by weight each and 0.15% by weight in total.
