Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016116805A1] The invention thus provides a method for the practical, operationally reliable production of castings from an AlCu alloy, which consists of (in % by weight) Cu: 6 - 8%, Mn: 0.3 - 0.55%, Zr: 0.15 - 0.25%, Fe: up to 0.25%, Si: up to 0.125%, Ti: 0.05-0.2%, V: up to 0.04%, the remainder Al and unavoidable impurities. A molten material obtained in accordance with this alloying specification is kept at 730 to 810°C for 4 - 12 hours and then vigourously mixed at least once. The molten material is subsequently cast batchwise to form the respective casting, which is then solution-annealed at 475 - 545°C for 1 - 16 hours. Starting from the solution-annealing temperature, the casting is quenched to at most 300°C, with a cooling rate of 0.75 – 15 K/s being adopted when the temperature range from 500 - 300°C is passed through in the course of the quenching. After that, the casting is artificially aged at 150 - 300°C over a period of 1 - 10 h. Finally, the casting is cooled down to room temperature.
