Patent number: 10927437Abstract: The invention relates to an aluminium alloy for the production of lithographic printing plate supports and also to an aluminium strip produced from the aluminium alloy, a process for the production of the aluminium strip and also its use for the production of lithographic printing plate supports. The object of providing an aluminium alloy as well as an aluminium strip from an aluminium alloy that permits the production of printing plate supports having improved bending-strength fatigue transverse to the rolling direction without adversely affecting the tensile strength values before and after the annealing process and while preserving the roughening properties, is achieved by the fact that the aluminium alloy contains the following alloy components in weight percent: 0.4%<Fe?1.0%, 0.3%<Mg?1.0%, 0.05%?Si?0.25%, Mn?0.25%, Cu?0.04%, Ti<0.1%, the remainder being Al and unavoidable impurities, individually at most 0.05% and totaling at most 0.05%.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Hydro Aluminium Deutschland GmbHInventors: Bernhard Kernig, Jochen Hasenclever, Henk-Jan Brinkman, Gerd Steinhoff, Christoph Settele

Patent number: 10696040Abstract: Provided is a method for production of an aluminium strip for lithographic printing plate supports from an aluminium alloy including (in wt %): 0.05%?Si?0.25%, 0.2%?Fe?1%, Cu max. 400 ppm, Mn?0.30%, 0.10%?Mg?0.50%, Cr?100 ppm, Zn?500 ppm, Ti<0.030%, the remainder aluminium and unavoidable impurities individually at most 0.03%, in total at most 0.15%. In the method, a rolling ingot is cast from an aluminium alloy, and the rolling ingot is homogenised. Further, the rolling ingot is hot rolled to a hot strip final thickness, and the hot strip is cold rolled to final thickness of between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm. The product of the relative final thicknesses of the aluminium strip after the first and after the second cold rolling pass of the aluminium strip is 15% to 24%.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Hydro Aluminium Rolled Products GmbHInventors: Christoph Settele, Bernhard Kernig, Jochen Hasenclever, Gerd Steinhoff
