摘要： A process for improving 6XXX alloys, such as 6013, preferably includes heating, hot rolling, inter-rolling thermal treatment at a very high temperature such as 1020° F. or more, again hot rolling (with or without subsequent continuous hot rolling or cold rolling or both), solution heat treating and artificial aging. The initial heating, inter-rolling, thermal treatment and solution treatment, especially the latter two, are carried out at very high temperatures such as 1030° F. Each aforesaid hot rolling stage produces substantial metal thickness reduction. The improved sheet or plate product has a substantially reduced occurrence of reduced density features revealed in scanning electron microscope examination at 500× and exhibits improved (reduced) fatigue crack growth rate providing an advantage in aerospace applications such as fuselage skin, especially fuselage belly skin.

摘要： There is claimed an aerospace alloy having improved corrosion resistance performance, particularly intergranular corrosion resistance. The alloy consisting essentially of: about 0.6-1.15 wt. % silicon, about 0.6-1.0 wt. % copper, about 0.8-1.2 wt. % magnesium, about 0.55-0.86 wt. % zinc, less than about 0.1 wt. % manganese, about 0.2-0.3 wt. % chromium, the balance aluminum, incidental elements and impurities. While it is preferably made into sheet or plate product forms, it can also be extruded. Products made from this alloy exhibit at least about 5% greater yield strength and about 45% or greater resistance to intergranular corrosion attack than their 6013-T6 counterparts, as measured by average depth of corrosion after 24 hours exposure to an aqueous NaCl—H2O2 solution per ASTM Standard G110 (1992).
