Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010149873A1] The invention relates to a wrought product such as an extruded, rolled and/or forged product, made of an alloy based on aluminium comprising, in % by weight, Cu: 3.0 - 3.9; Li: 0.8 - 1.3; Mg: 0.6 - 1.0; Zr: 0.05 - 0.18; Ag: 0.0 - 0.5; Mn: 0.0 - 0.5; Fe + Si = 0.20; Zn = 0.15; at least one element from Ti: 0.01-0.15; Sc: 0.05 - 0.3; Cr: 0.05 - 0.3; Hf: 0.05 - 0.5; other elements = 0.05 each and = 0.15 in total, the remainder being aluminium. The invention also relates to the process for manufacturing this product. The products according to the invention are particularly useful for producing thick products made of aluminium intended to produce structural components for the aeronautical industry.
