Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preheating at least one working roll for rolling, involving phases of:
determining a target thermal expansion profile,
determining an effective mean temperature profile of longitudinal segments of the working roll and for determining a target mean temperature profile,
activating a plurality of inductors distributed along the working roll in order to reduce a difference between the effective mean temperature and the target mean temperature.-

Abstract: The invention concerns a process to manufacture a flat-rolled product, notably for the aeronautic industry containing aluminum alloy, in which, notably a flattening and/or stretching is performed with a cumulated deformation of at least 0.5% and less than 3%, and a short heat-treatment is performed in which the sheet reaches a temperature between 130° C. and 170° C. for a period of 0.1 to 13 hours. The invention notably makes it possible to simplify the forming process of fuselage skins and to improve the balance between static mechanical strength properties and damage tolerance properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rolled product made of aluminum alloy with a thickness of at least 50 mm comprising (in weight %): Zn 6.9-7.5; Mg 1.8-2.2; Cu 1.8-2.2, where the sum Cu+Mg is between 3.8 and 4.2; Zr 0.04-0.14; Mn 0-0.1; Ti 0-0.15; V 0-0.1; Fe≤0.15; If ≤0.15; impurities ≤0.05 each and ≤0.15 total, balance aluminum. The invention also relates to the method of manufacturing such a product. The products according to the invention are particularly advantageous because they have a very favorable compromise between static mechanical strength, toughness and environmental-assisted cracking performance under conditions of high stress and humid environment.

Abstract: Extrados structural element made from an aluminum, copper and lithium alloy and method for manufacturing same. An alloy with composition (in wt %) 4.2-5.2 Cu, 0.9-1.2 Li, 0.1-0.3 Ag, 0.1-0.25 Mg, 0.08-0.18 Zr, 0.01-0.15 Ti, an Fe and Si content level less than or equal to 0.1% each, and other element with content level less than or equal to 0.05% each and 0.15% in total, is poured, homogenized, deformed hot, placed in a solution at a temperature of at least 515° C., pulled from 0.5 to 5% and annealed. The combination of magnesium, copper and manganese content with the temperature in solution can reach an advantageous elasticity under compression limit. Products having a thickness of at least 12 mm have, in the longitudinal direction, an elasticity under compression limit of at least 645 MPa and an elongation of at least 7%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rolled aluminum-based alloy product having a thickness of at least 80 mm comprising, (in weight %): Zn 6.85-7.25, Mg 1.55-1.95, Cu 1.90-2.30, Zr 0.04-0.10, Ti 0-0.15, Fe 0-0.15, Si 0-0.15, other elements ≤0.05 each and ≤0.15 total, remainder Al, wherein at mid-thickness more than 75% of grains are recrystallized or at mid-thickness 30 to 75% of grains are recrystallized and non-recrystallized grains have an aspect ratio in a L/ST cross section less than 3. A process for the manufacture of a rolled aluminum-based alloy product comprises the steps of: (a) casting an ingot made in an alloy according to the invention, (b) conducting an homogenization of the ingot (c) conducting hot rolling of said homogenized ingot in one or more stages by rolling, (d) conducting a solution heat treatment a quench, (e) conducting stress relieving, and, (f) conducting an artificial aging treatment. The products of the invention are suitable for aircraft construction and have advantageous fatigue crack growth properties.

Abstract: The invention is a method for treating a solid substrate, made from a first material, of metal or ceramic type, the method comprising placing the substrate in contact with a liquid metal, while the substrate is exposed to an ultrasonic wave called a power wave. At the level of a surface of the substrate, the power density is greater than a cavitation threshold of the liquid metal. Such exposure improves the wettability of the substrate surface by the liquid metal.
