  • Publication number: 20180363113
    Abstract: Provided is an Al—Mg—Si aluminum alloy sheet having a specific chemical composition including a transition element. The microstructure of the sheet includes grains refined to have a smaller average grain size, and includes nanometer-level fine transition-element-dispersed particles. This allows the aluminum alloy sheet to have higher strength during work hardening in forming into a structural component and, synergistically with this, to have better bake hardenability. The resulting aluminum alloy sheet, when formed into an automobile structural component, offers higher strength after bake hardening without deterioration in formability, even after natural aging at room temperature.

    Abstract: Provided is a hot-forged 6xxx-series aluminum alloy having excellent corrosion resistance and still having both high strength and good ductility. A forged 6xxx-series aluminum alloy having a specific chemical composition after solution treatment is further subjected to warm working to introduce dislocations into the forged aluminum alloy microstructure. This allows the forged aluminum alloy after artificial aging to have a microstructure which has a high dislocation density, includes a large proportion of small angle grain boundaries, and has a high average number density of precipitates. Thus, the resulting forged aluminum alloy has a 0.2% yield strength of 400 MPa or more and an elongation of 10% or more and combines properties necessary for suspension parts.

  • Publication number: 20170114431
    Abstract: Provided is a 6000-series aluminum alloy sheet having good formability for an automotive body panel, which can be manufactured without greatly varying an existing composition or an existing manufacturing condition. The amount of solute Si and the amount of solute Cu in an Al—Mg—Si aluminum alloy sheet are increased in a balanced manner, so that the sheet has a dislocation density within a specific range when tensile deformation in a low-strain region is applied to the sheet. This suppresses localization of dislocations introduced into a material due to tensile deformation during press forming into an automotive body panel, and allows dislocations to be evenly multiplied from the low-strain region to a high-strain region. Consequently, uneven deformation is suppressed during forming into the automotive body panel, and good work hardenability is exhibited.

  • Publication number: 20170081749
    Abstract: Disclosed is a 7xxx-series aluminum alloy sheet that has a specific chemical composition and is produced by a common procedure. The sheet maintains high strength via a good balance between Zn and Mg, while the Zn content is controlled. The average compositional ratio of Zn to Mg in grain-boundary precipitates is controlled in the sheet that is naturally aged after production; and the average compositional ratio of Zn to Mg in intragranular precipitates is controlled in the sheet that is further artificially aged after the natural aging. Thus, the aluminum alloy sheet is allowed to have formability, corrosion resistance, and such high strength as to be demanded of structural components.
