PRODUCTS FROM ALUMINIUM ALLOY OF AA7000 SERIES AND THEIR MANUFACTURING METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C22F1/53 C22C21/10 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to alloy of AA7000 series and to the manufacturing method of products from this aluminium alloy, and namely to aluminium deformed products of relatively large thickness, namely of 30 to 300 mm. Method involves casting of workpiece - ingot of aluminium alloy of AA7000 series, which contains >0.12 to 0.35% Si, pre-heating and/or homogenisation of workpiece, hot deformation treatment of workpiece using one or more methods chosen from the group, which involves rolling, extrusion and forging, optionally cold deformation treatment, solution treatment, workpiece solution treatment cooling, optional tension or compression or other cold deformation treatment for release of stresses, which is performed by straightening or drawing or by cold rolling, ageing of workpiece in order to achieve the required state. At least one heat treatment is performed at temperature in the range of more than 500°C, but lower than solidus temperature of the considered aluminium alloy. The above heat treatment is performed either: (i) after heat treatment by homogenisation prior to hot deformation treatment, or (ii) after solution treatment, or (iii) both after heat treatment by homogenisation prior to hot deformation treatment, and after solution treatment.

EFFECT: obtaining the product from deformed aluminium alloy, which has improved balance of properties, and namely destruction viscosity, tensile yield point, tensile ultimate strength and relative elongation.
