Definitions
- the invention relates to aluminum-based 2XXX alloy products comprising lithium, more particularly, such products, their manufacturing and use processes, intended in particular for aerospace construction.
- Aluminum alloy products are developed to produce structural elements intended in particular for the aerospace industry and the space industry.
- Aluminum - lithium alloys are particularly promising for producing this type of product. Aeronautical industry specifications for fatigue life are high and are particularly difficult to achieve for thick products. Indeed, given the possible thicknesses of the cast slabs, the reduction of thickness by hot deformation is quite low and therefore the sites related to the casting on which the fatigue cracks are initiated see their size only slightly reduced at during hot deformation.
- Al-Li alloys offer compromises of properties generally higher than conventional alloys, especially in terms of the compromise between fatigue, damage tolerance and mechanical resistance. This makes it possible in particular to reduce the thickness of the wrought products of Al-Li alloy, thus further maximizing the weight reduction they provide. The current constraints are however increased, thus inducing higher risks of initiation of fatigue cracks. It is therefore interesting to improve the fatigue resistance of Al-Li alloy products.
- this type of treatment requires a substantial modification of the casting furnace and remains difficult to perform for the quantities necessary for the manufacture of thick plates.
