Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3085811A1] The subject of the invention is a process for manufacturing a wrought product made of aluminium alloy comprising the following steps : a) casting a plate made of alloy comprising, in percentages by weight, Cu: 2.1 to 2.8; Li: 1.1 to 1.7; Mg: 0.2 to 0.9; Mn: 0.2 to 0.6; Ti: 0.010.2; Ag < 0.1; Zr < 0.08; Fe and Si = 0.1 each; unavoidable impurities = 0.05% each and 0.15% in total; remainder aluminium; b) homogenizing said plate at 480-520°C for 5 to 60 hours; c) hot-rolling and optionally cold-rolling said homogenized plate to give a sheet; d) solution annealing the sheet at 470-520°C for 5 minutes to 4 hours; e) quenching the solution-annealed sheet; f) controlled tensioning of the solution-annealed and quenched sheet with a permanent set of 1 to 6%; g) tempering of the tensioned sheet by heating at a temperature of at least 160°C for a maximum time of 30 hours.
