  • AA6000 aluminum sheet method
    Patent number: 6652678
    Abstract: A method of converting an ingot of a 6000 series aluminium alloy to self-annealing sheet, comprises subjecting the ingot to a two-stage homogenisation treatment, first at at least 560° C. and then at 450° C. to 480° C., then hot rolling the homogenised ingot at a starting hot roll temperature of 450° C. to 480° C. and a finishing hot roll temperature of 320° C. to 360° C. The resulting hot rolled sheet has an unusually low Cube recrystallisation component.
