FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: ingot, at least, 4in-thick, is made from aluminium-based alloy containing, at least, 6.5 wt % of zinc and magnesium at zinc-to-magnesium ratio of 5:1. Said ingot features, at quarter of thickness, the tensile strength of, at least, 61 kgft/sq.in and yield points of, at least, 54.5 kgft/sq.in. Proposed method comprises the following stages: 12 in-thick ingot is cast from aluminium-based alloy containing: 6-8 wt % of Zn, 1-2 wt % of Mg, with Mg content making (0.2 × Zn - 0.3) wt %-(0.2 × Zn + 0.3) wt %, at least, one element forming intermetallic dispersoids, aluminium and unavoidable impurities making the rest. Then, ingot is homogenised at 820°F to 980°F, and cooled by one of below methods: forced feed of air, water mist and water spray. Then, it is artificially aged at 240°F to 320°F to allow age-hardening.
EFFECT: high strength, low sensitivity to quenching.
