    摘要: The present disclosure provides an aluminum alloy workpiece and a preparation method thereof. By optimizing a composition of the aluminum alloy workpiece, the aluminum alloy workpiece can be prepared by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in the preparation method, thereby forming a target metallographic phase. The preparation method overcomes the problem that the composition of a high temperature-resistant and high-strength aluminum alloy designed based on the traditional casting and forging process cannot be matched with the LPBF, and makes full use of rapid cooling of the LPBF to prepare an aluminum alloy composition of a target crystal phase. The preparation method combines the aluminum alloy composition with the LPBF to achieve mutual promotion, thereby forming a target workpiece, such that an aluminum alloy with high strength and toughness at room temperature/high temperature can be prepared by the LPBF.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for ultra-low temperature forming an ultra-thin curved part of a high-strength aluminum alloy. The method includes the following steps: step 1: selecting a cladding with a suitable thickness according to a wrinkle limit of a sheet; step 2: stacking the sheet and the cladding, then putting into a die, and closing a blank holder; step 3: filling a cavity of a female die with an ultra-low temperature medium to cool the sheet to below −160° C.; step 4: applying a set blank holding force by the blank holder, and enabling a male die to go down to form a thin-walled curved part; and step 5: opening the die and taking out the formed thin-walled curved part. The present invention utilizes the favorable formability of the high-strength aluminum alloy at the ultra-low temperature and the instability resistance of the thick sheet.

    摘要: Substrates suitable for mirrors used at wavelengths in the EUV wavelength range have substrates (1) including a base body (2) made of a precipitation-hardened alloy, of an intermetallic phase of an alloy system, of a particulate composite or of an alloy having a composition which, in the phase diagram of the corresponding alloy system, lies in a region which is bounded by phase stability lines. Preferably, the base body (2) is made of a precipitation-hardened copper or aluminum alloy. A highly reflective layer (6) is preferably provided on a polishing layer (3) of the substrate (1) of the EUV mirror (5).

    摘要: The present invention discloses a method for pressure forming of an aluminum alloy special-shaped tubular component by using an ultra-low temperature medium. By means of the characteristics that the forming property of an aluminum alloy tube is greatly improved under ultra-low temperature conditions, a tube is cooled and pressurized in a die through an ultra-low temperature medium, so that the tube forms a special-shaped tubular component at an ultra-low temperature. In the method for pressure forming of an aluminum alloy special-shaped tubular component by using an ultra-low temperature medium, the ultra-low temperature medium is not only used for cooling the die and the tube, but also used for pressurization to achieve flexible loading of the tube, which is favorable for forming complex special-shaped tubular components with varied cross-sections.

    摘要: This twisted wire conductor 10 for an insulated electrical wire is configured so as to be in a mixed state in which a first conductor 20 and a second conductor 40 are twisted together. The first conductor comprises a specific aluminum alloy: which has an alloy composition that contains, by mass %, 0.2-1.8% of Mg, 0.2-2.0% of Si, 0.01-0.33% of Fe and a total of 0.00-2.00% of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ag, Zn, Ni, Co, Au, Mn, Cr, V, Zr, Ti and Sn, with the remainder comprising Al and unavoidable impurities; which has a fibrous metal structure in which crystal grains extend in one direction; and in which the average value of a dimension t which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of crystal grains is 400 nm or less in a cross section parallel to this one direction. The second conductor has a higher electrical conductivity than the first conductor 20 and comprises a metal or alloy selected from the group consisting of copper, copper alloys, aluminum and aluminum alloys. The twisted wire conductor exhibits high electrical conductivity, high strength and excellent bending fatigue resistance, and enables a reduction in weight.
