Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013054013A1] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a rolled product, in particular for the aeronautical industry, containing an aluminum alloy having a composition of 2.1 to 3.9 wt % of Cu, 0.7 to 2.0 wt % of Li, 0.1 to 1.0 wt % of Mg, 0 to 0.6 wt % of Ag, 0 to 1 wt % of Zn, at most 0.20 wt % of Fe + Si, at least one element selected from Zr, Mn, Cr, Se, Hf and Ti, the quantity of said element, if selected, being 0.5 to 0.18 wt % for Zr, 0.1 to 0.6 wt % for Mn, 0.05 to 0.3 wt % for Cr, 0.02 to 0.2 wt % for Se, 0.05 to 0.5 wt % for Hf, and 0.01 to 0.15 wt % for Ti, the other elements constituting at most 0.05 wt % each and 0.15 wt % total, the remainder being aluminum, said method involving flattening and/or pulling with a total deformation of at least 0.5% and less than 3%, and a short heat treatment in which the sheet metal reaches a temperature of between 130 and 170ºC for 0.1 to 13 hours. The invention makes it possible, in particular, to simplify the process for shaping sheet metal for fuselages, and to improve the trade-off between static mechanical strength and damage tolerance properties.
