  • Patent number: 11866807
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy pipe includes a pipe body portion made of an Al—Mg series alloy that includes Mg at a concentration equal to or higher than 0.7 mass % and lower than 2.5 mass % and Ti at a concentration higher than 0 mass % and equal to or lower than 0.15 mass %, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, and a Zn-containing layer being outside the pipe body portion and including Zn being diffused in the Al—Mg series alloy at a concentration equal to or higher than 0.1 mass %.

  • Publication number: 20220349039
    Abstract: Provided is a welded structural member with excellent stress corrosion cracking resistance, which includes: a 7000-series aluminum alloy material that has a chemical composition containing 6.6% by mass to 8.5% by mass of Zn, 1.0% by mass to 2.1% by mass of Mg, 0.10% by mass to 0.20% by mass of Zr, and 0.001% by mass to 0.05% by mass of Ti, with a remainder including Al and unavoidable impurities, and includes a metallographic structure that is a fibrous structure; and other aluminum alloy material welded with the 7000-series aluminum alloy material. In this welded structural member, when an electrical conductivity of the 7000-series aluminum alloy material before an artificial aging treatment is defined as X % IACS and the electrical conductivity of the 7000-series aluminum alloy material after the artificial aging treatment is defined as Y % IACS, the following equation is satisfied: 0.120?(Y/X?1)?0.

  • Publication number: 20180347017
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy material as one aspect of the present disclosure has a chemical composition including: Zn: more than 6.5% (mass %, same applies hereafter) and 8.5% or less; Mg: 0.5% or more and 1.5% or less; Cu: 0.10% or less; Fe: 0.30% or less; Si: 0.30% or less; Mn: less than 0.05%; Cr: less than 0.05%; Zr: 0.05% or more and 0.10% or less; and Ti: 0.001% or more and 0.05% or less, a balance including Al and inevitable impurities. In the aluminum alloy material, a mass ratio of Zn to Mg (Zn/Mg) is 5 or more and 16 or less, and a metallographic structure includes an equigranular recrystallized structure.
