  • High Strength Aluminum Alloys
    Publication number: 20230016262
    Abstract: There is provided a high strength high formable aluminum alloys (Al—Mg—Mn alloy). The aluminum alloy exhibits improved castability by achieving lower required torque at high temperature, while meeting or exceeding the ambient temperature strength and formability requirements for high strength applications. The aluminum alloy comprises in weight percent Mg 1.0-2.0, 0.2-0.95 Mn, 0.05-0.35 Cr with the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities.

  • High strength aluminium alloy extrusion
    Patent number: 8313590
    Abstract: An aluminium extrusion having a minimum section thickness and made from an aluminium alloy includes, in weight percent, between approximately 1.0 and 1.7 manganese, and between approximately 0.5 and 1.1 silicon, less than 0.3 iron with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities each less than 0.05 weight % and totaling less than 0.15 weight %, the extrusion being formed with an extrusion ratio less than 125 to retain a fibrous grain structure in which less than 40% of the minimum section thickness is recrystallized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 20, 2012
    Assignee: Rio Tinto Alcan International Limited
    Inventors: Nicholas Charles Parson, Martin Fortier
