Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wrought products of al-Zn-Mg-Cu type alloys with very high mechanical properties, with a Zn content greater than 8.3%, as well as aircraft structural elements incorporating such products.
  • Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys (belonging to the family of 7xxx alloys) are commonly used in aircraft construction, and in particular in the construction of civil aircraft wings.
  • a skin made of alloy plates 7150, 7055, 7449, and possibly stiffeners profiles of alloys 7150, 7055, 7349 or 7449.
  • the alloys 7150, 7050 and 7349 are also used for the manufacture of fuselage stiffeners.
  • alloys 7075 and 7175 (zinc content between 5.1 and 6.1% by weight), 7050 (zinc content between 5.7 and 6.7%). , 7150 (zinc content between 5.9 and 6.9%) and 7049 (zinc content between 7.2 and 8.2%). They have a high yield strength, good toughness and good resistance to stress corrosion and exfoliating corrosion. More recently, it has been found that for certain applications, the use of an alloy with a higher zinc content may have advantages because it makes it possible to further increase the yield strength. Alloys 7349 and 7449 contain between 7.5 and 8.7% zinc. Wrought alloys richer in zinc have been described in the literature, but do not seem to be used in aeronautical construction.
  • the patent US 4,063,936 discloses an aluminum alloy comprising in weight percent: 5-15% Zn, 0.3-1.5% Mg, 0.1-1.0% Zr, 0.1-1.0% of an element of group consisting of Cu and Ag, the remainder being Al and unavoidable impurities.
  • the problem addressed by the present invention is to propose new wrought products of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu type alloy with a high zinc content, greater than 8.3%, and especially spun products, which are characterized by a very high limit of rupture, a very high limit of elasticity, a sufficient resistance to corrosion, a good aptitude for shaping, and which can be manufactured industrially under conditions of reliability compatible with the high requirements of the aviation industry.
  • the Applicant has found that the problem can be solved by adjusting the concentration of the Zn, Cu and Mg addition elements and certain impurities (especially Fe and Si) in a fine way, and possibly adding other elements.
  • a first object of the present invention is constituted by a rolled, spun or forged product made of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy, characterized in that it contains (in percent by mass): a) Zn 8.3 - 14.0 Cu> 0.6 - 2.0 Mg 0.5 - 4.5 and preferably 0.5 - 3.6 Zr 0.03 - 0.15 Fe + Si ⁇ 0.25 b) at least one element selected from the group consisting of Sc, Hf, La, Ti, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Y, Yb, the content of each of said elements, if is selected, being between 0.02 and 0.7%, (c) the remaining aluminum and unavoidable impurities, and that he satisfies the conditions d) Mg / Cu> 2.4 and e) (7.9 - 0.4 Zn)> (Cu + Mg)> (6.4 - 0.4 Zn).
  • a third object of the present invention is an aircraft structural element which incorporates at least one of said products, and in particular a structural element used in the construction of the fuselage of civil aircraft, such as a fuselage stiffener.
  • the figure 7 shows schematically the place on the T1 profile where the sample is taken for the 3-point folding test.
  • the figure 8 schematically shows the definition of the folding angle.
  • the figure 9 schematically shows the geometric parameters important for the three-point bending test.
  • the figure 10 schematically shows a crack with a length of two stiffeners with broken central stiffener.
  • the figure 11 schematically shows the buckling test.
  • Figure (b) corresponds to a rotation AA of 90 °.
  • the figure 12 compares the buckling stresses for different types of Z-shaped stiffeners according to the invention (gray bars) and according to the prior art (white bars), for the same geometry.
  • the Applicant has found a very particular composition area that allows the development of wrought products, including spun products, which have both very high static mechanical characteristics, corrosion resistance acceptable, and good fitness skills.
  • the applicant has thus been able to develop spun products that can be used very advantageously as stiffeners of the fuselage of civil aircraft.
  • the damage tolerance is not a limiting factor, and we can therefore afford to optimize the elastic limit and the rupture limit to the detriment of the damage tolerance, while taking care not to degrade corrosion resistance.
  • the fact of pushing the elastic limit as much as possible and the limit of rupture, making it possible to lighten the structure of the airplane usually leads to a deterioration of the aptitude for shaping.
  • fuselage stiffeners are subjected to complex operations and very particular shaping. In order to develop a stronger alloy for fuselage stiffeners, it must therefore be ensured that the formability is not degraded with respect to known alloys, or preferentially better than that of known alloys. .
  • the problem is solved by finely adjusting the contents of the alloying elements and certain impurities, and by adding a controlled concentration of certain other elements to the composition of the alloy.
  • the present invention applies to Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys containing: Zn 8.3 - 14.0 Cu> 0.6 - 2.0 Mg 0.5 - 4.5 as well as some other elements specified below, and the rest being aluminum with its inevitable impurities.
  • the alloys according to the invention must contain at least 0.5% magnesium, since it is not possible to obtain satisfactory static mechanical characteristics with a lower magnesium content. According to the findings of the applicant, with a zinc content of less than 8.3%, one does not obtain a result that is better than those obtained with known alloys.
  • the zinc content is greater than 9.0%, and even more preferably greater than 9.5%. However, it is necessary to respect certain relationships between certain elements, as explained later.
  • the zinc content is between 9.0 and 11.0%. In any case, we do not want to exceed a zinc content of about 14%, because beyond this value, regardless of the magnesium and copper content, the results are not satisfactory.
  • the addition of at least 0.6% copper improves corrosion resistance. But to ensure a satisfactory dissolution, the Cu content should not exceed about 2%, and the Mg content should not exceed about 4.5%; a maximum content of 3.6% is preferred for magnesium.
  • the copper content is between 0.6% and 1.2 while the magnesium content is between 2.5% and 3.4%.
  • the copper content is between 0.8% and 1.5 while the magnesium content is between 2.2% and 3.0%.
  • the ratio between the magnesium and copper contents must meet certain criteria.
  • the alloy must be sufficiently loaded with addition elements capable of precipitating during a maturation or a treatment of income, in order to be able to present interesting static mechanical characteristics.
  • addition elements capable of precipitating during a maturation or a treatment of income, in order to be able to present interesting static mechanical characteristics.
  • the content of these additive elements must fulfill the condition Mg + Cu> 6.4 0.4 Zn.
  • anti-recrystallizing elements More specifically, for alloys with more than 9.5% zinc, at least one element selected from the group comprising the elements Zr, Sc, Hf, La, Ti, Y, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, must be added. Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Cr, Mn with, for each element present, a concentration of between 0.02 and 0.7%. It is preferable that the concentration of all the elements of said group does not exceed 1.5%.
  • anti-recrystallizing elements in the form of fine precipitates formed during thermal or thermomechanical treatments, block the recrystallization.
  • the Applicant has found that it will be necessary to avoid a too abundant precipitation during the quenching of the wrought product, and especially when the alloy is heavily loaded with zinc (Zn> 9.5%). A compromise must therefore be found as to the content of anti-recrystallizing elements.
  • zirconium with a content of between 0.03% and 0.15%, and in addition at least an element selected from the group comprising the elements Sc, Hf, La, Ti, Y, Ce, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, with, for each element present, a concentration of between 0, 02 and 0.7%.
  • titanium is chosen, alone or associated with one or more other elements of said group.
  • the Applicant has found that for said anti-recrystallizing elements, it is advantageous, irrespective of the zinc content, not to exceed the following maximum levels: Cr 0.40; Mn 0.60; Sc 0.50; Zr 0.15; Hf 0.60; Ti, 0.15; This 0.35 and preferably 0.30; Nd 0, 35 and preferably 0.30; Eu 0.35 and preferably 0.30; Gd 0.35; Tb 0.35; Ho, 0.40; Dy 0.40; Er 0.40; Yb 0.40; Y, 0.20; 0.35 and preferably 0.30.
  • the total of these elements does not exceed 1.5%.
  • the Applicant has found that in order to improve the rupture limit and the yield strength, it is preferable to respect an Mg / Cu ratio> 2.4, and preferably at least 2.8, even more preferentially 3.5 or even 4. , 0.
  • Another technical characteristic is related to the need to be able to industrially produce wrought products under conditions of reliability compatible with the high requirements of the aeronautical industry, as well as under satisfactory economic conditions. It is therefore necessary to choose a chemical composition which minimizes the occurrence of cracks or slits during the solidification of the plates or billets, said cracks or slots being prohibitive defects leading to the scrapping of said plates or billets.
  • the Applicant has found in numerous tests that this occurrence of cracks or splits was much more likely when the 7000 alloys complete their solidification below 470 ° C.
  • This criterion is called in the context of the present invention the "flowability criterion".
  • the alloys produced according to this variant of the invention complete their solidification at a temperature of between 473 ° C. and 478 ° C., and make it possible to achieve an industrial reliability of the processes for producing the metal (that is to say a consistency of the quality of cast plates or billets) compatible with the high requirements of the aerospace industry.
  • Another technical feature of the invention is related to the need to minimize as much as possible the amount of insoluble precipitates (which are typically ternary or quaternary Al-Zn-Mg-Cu S, M or T) after homogenization and dissolution treatments, as this reduces the tenacity, the elongation at break and especially the aptitude for shaping; for this, we choose a content of Mg, Cu and Zn such that Mg + Cu ⁇ 7.9 - 0.4 Zn.
  • Mg + Cu ⁇ 7.9 - 0.4 Zn Mg + Cu ⁇ 7.9 - 0.4 Zn.
  • a content of between 0.05 and 0.10% is preferred.
  • money is the preferred element.
  • the addition of one or more anti-recrystallizing elements, such as scandium is particularly advantageous; such an effect is also observed in the case of heavy plates.
  • the profiles also benefit from an increase in their mechanical strength, which is even greater than the width or thickness of the profile is low; this effect called "press effect" is well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the Applicant has found that when the added anti-recrystallizing element is scandium, a content between 0.02 and 0.50% is advantageous.
  • the products according to the invention are especially spun products. They can be used advantageously for the manufacture of structural elements in aeronautical construction.
  • a preferred application of the products according to the invention is the application as a structural element in the fuselage of a civil aircraft.
  • These elements, in particular the stiffeners, are first dimensioned in mechanical strength.
  • the damage tolerance is usually not a property that fits into the dimensioning, to the extent that it is of a reasonable level: one can, in case of need and up to a certain point, optimize the mechanical resistance to the detriment of damage tolerance, and without fear of reducing the usefulness of the product. Corrosion resistance must always remain at an acceptable level.
  • fuselage stiffeners makes it possible, at the choice of the manufacturer, to reduce their weight, or to have, at equal weight, a more rigid fuselage structure. This can, by increasing the spacing between two adjacent stiffeners (within the limit of the resistance to the folding of the fuselage sheets), to reduce the number of stiffeners, which leads to a decrease in the number of fasteners or assembly points between stiffener and sail skin. This can be very advantageous because fasteners or points of assembly, such as rivets or bolts, are important in the cost of manufacturing such structures.
  • a Particularly advantageous use of the product according to the invention is therefore the application as a structural element in the field of aeronautical construction, and more specifically in the construction of aircraft comprising a fuselage assembled from a plurality of stiffeners and a plurality of sheets, at least a portion of said stiffeners being structural elements according to the invention.
  • Such an aircraft is characterized by a lighter structure, but at least as rigid, or by a more rigid structure, but not heavier than existing aircraft.
  • stiffeners according to the invention can improve the shear and compression stability of the fuselage panels, because these stiffeners exhibit a higher buckling stability.
  • This effect can be used either to increase the margin of safety in constructions where stiffeners are replaced by stiffeners according to the invention, or to reduce the weight of the construction by using stiffeners with reduced sections and fuselage sheets more thin, and / or larger stiffener spacings.
  • An increase in rivet spacing can also be achieved, which reduces the cost of assembling the structure.
  • Table 17 shows parameters of different stiffener geometries used for the calculations. The figure 12 compares the predicted buckling stresses for these different geometries from Z1 to Z8 (from left to right).
  • a shaping mode used in the industrial manufacturing of the fuselage stiffeners from profiles is the soyage. It is an introduction of a step located over an area of a few millimeters (cf. figure 6 ). This can be done, in the case of profiles according to the invention, either hot (preferably at 130 ° C) or cold. In the case of cold milling, it will advantageously carry out a solution in solution of the profile delivered in state W (unstable), followed by quenching. Then the shaping is done by shredding. Cold trimming does not allow shaping as deep as hot trimming, but when it is applicable, it is often more practical.
  • Jarring as an industrial shaping process is not suitable for use in the study of materials under development.
  • the failure of the material during the process is directly related to maximum plane deformations that can be supported by the material. This makes it possible to evaluate the suitability of a material for shaping by means of the 3-point bending test.
  • DIN 50111 September 1987, in particular section 3.1
  • the sample must be sufficiently wide in relation to its thickness to be in plane deformation conditions in the center of the specimen.

  • the applied force (which means crack initiation), always ensuring that the sample temperature is at 130 ° C. Since the deformation is done hot, the deformation rate is a parameter that influences the result. It was fixed by a traverse speed of 50 mm / min. The more the angle of folding (see definition in figure 8 ) is high, the greater the ability to form by sinking is high.
  • it is important that the samples to be compared have the same thicknesses. If two samples of different thickness are to be compared, the face is compressed to the required thickness. In the case of a profile, the sampling of the sample from which the flat specimen is prepared is done at a representative place as indicated on the figure 7 for the T1 profile.
  • the 3-point bending tests at 130 ° C are carried out on the T6x state or on the T7x state of the product. Nevertheless, it is possible to characterize the quenched formability W with this test, provided that the time between the tensile stress relieving after the quenching and the execution of the three-point bend test is controlled.
  • the bending angle at 130 ° C is expressed as the average value calculated from individual measurements made on samples taken at different locations along the length of the profile.
  • a particularly preferred product according to the present invention is a spun product which has in the T6511 state, measured on specimens taken from a flat area, a bending angle, measured at 130 ° C by a 3-point bend test according to DIN 50. 111 (section 3.1) on a sample of thickness 1.6 mm, of at least 34 °, and an elastic limit R p0.2 of at least 720 MPa, and preferably a folding angle of at least 35 ° and an elastic limit of at least 750 MPa.
  • the static mechanical characteristics (R p0.2 , R m and A) depend little on the thickness of the section for thicknesses up to about 60 mm.
  • Another particularly advantageous product according to the invention is a spun product which has, in the T76511 state, measured on specimens taken from a flat zone, a bending angle, measured at 130 ° C. by a 3-point bending test according to DIN 50 111 (section 3.1) on a sample of thickness 1.6 mm, of at least 36 °, and an elastic limit R p0.2 of at least 660 MPa, and preferably at least 670 MPa.
  • This product may be used in cases where the corrosion resistance must be at least EB level in an EXCO test (ASTM G34) performed on unmachined samples.
  • the Applicant has surprisingly found that compared to known products, including those with a comparable zinc content, the products according to the invention show good hot forming ability.
  • the cold forming ability in the unstable state W after redissolution and quenching is slightly less good.
  • the Applicant therefore prefers the hot forming process, if said shaping is deep.
  • the products according to the invention can also be used as structural elements for floors, and in particular as floor profiles, aircraft, and, in the form of profiles, as seat rails.
  • the seat rails are generally of great length, generally arranged parallel to the length of the cabin, on which are fixed rows of seats in a commercial aircraft.

  • sheet C has a good compromise between mechanical strength and elongation. Compared to sheet D, outside the invention, its mechanical strength is significantly better. Compared to the sheet A, alloy 7449 according to the state of the art, the alloy C has a very improved mechanical strength. The fact that the toughness of the sheet C is less good than that of the sheet B limits its application to certain uses for which the toughness is not dimensioning, but which require both excellent mechanical strength and good suitability. formatting. With respect to the sheet B, outside the invention, the elongation at break of the sheet C is significantly better. Moreover, in order for Sheet B to achieve the results indicated in Table 2, it must be subjected to a rather long dissolution in solution which does not lend itself to the requirements of an industrial production. And even, it is found that there are too many coarse phases in the product which have a detrimental effect on the homogeneity of the mechanical properties, both within the same batch and within the same product (sheet or shaped); this could prohibit the use of product B as an aircraft structural element.

  • the stiffener in 2024 will be solicited more and more in the plastic field in comparison with new stiffeners that have not even reached the limit of elasticity.
  • the difference in the stress intensity factor can go up to 15%.
  • the buckling test leads to a deformation of the panel which manifests itself as a gap (24) between the stiffener (14, 16) and the skin (22). It has been noted by the applicant that the shear and compression stability of the fuselage panels working in compression and / or shear can benefit from the high strength of the stiffeners according to the invention.
  • the use of the stiffeners according to the invention as a structural element in a fuselage panel of an aircraft can improve the shear and compression stability of the fuselage panels, because these stiffeners exhibit a higher buckling stability.
  • This effect can be used either to increase the margin of safety in constructions where stiffeners are replaced by stiffeners according to the invention, or to reduce the weight of the construction by using stiffeners with reduced sections and thinner fuselage sheets, and / or larger stiffener spacings.
  • An increase in rivet spacing can also be achieved, which reduces the cost of assembling the structure.
  • a gain estimate in buckling stability can be obtained by applying a general method given in [Michael CY Niu, Airframe Stress Analysis and Sizing, 2 nd edition, chapter 10].
  • the Applicant noted, using this method, that the increase in the stiffness of the stiffener according to the invention (with 700 MPa yield strength in compression and a Young's modulus in compression of 73 GPa) compared with a stiffener in 7150 T77511 (with 538 MPa typical yield strength in compression and a Young's modulus in compression of 73 GPa), which is widely used in aircraft according to the state of the art, is greater than or equal to 15% for typical use stiffeners in the form of "Z".
  • Table 17 shows parameters of different stiffener geometries used for the calculations.
  • the figure 12 compares the predicted buckling stresses for these different geometries from Z1 to Z8 (from left to right).
