  • Publication number: 20110017366
    Abstract: A method of producing an aluminum alloy extruded product comprising: casting a billet using a 7000-series aluminum alloy having Mg of 0.95 to 1.95 mass %, Zn of 5.10 to 7.90 mass %, an excess mg or Zn content relative to a stoichiometric composition shown by MgZn2 of less than 0.5 mass %; an A=Zn?5.36×Mg (mass %) of ?2.64 to 0.50; and at least one of Mn, Cr and Zr with a total content thereof being less than 0.25 mass %; homogenizing the billet at 450 to 550° C.; preheating the homogenized product at 480 to 540° C.; extruding the preheated product with a die heated at 440 to 500° C.; and subjecting the extruded product to press quenching at an air cooling rate of 29° C./min or more, wherein a proof stress increase due to natural aging is 15 Mpa or less and a hardness HV increase due to natural aging is seven or less.

  • Publication number: 20090047171
    Abstract: This invention relates to a 6000-series aluminum extruded material containing magnesium (0.3% to 0.7% by mass), silicon (0.7% to 1.5% by mass), copper (0.35% or less by mass), iron (0.35% or less by mass), titanium (0.005% to 0.1% by mass), manganese (0.05% to 0.30% by mass), chrome (0.10% or less by mass), and zirconium (0.10% or less by mass) (provided that at least one transition element selected from the group consisting of manganese, chromium, and zirconium is contained in a total amount representing 0.05% to 0.40% by mass), with the balance comprising aluminum with inevitable impurities, such aluminium extruded material having a predetermined yield strength of 180 MPa or more with an increase of 60 MPa as a result of a thermal history corresponding to paint baking.
