  • Patent number: 10309001
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy for microporous hollow shape material use constituted by an aluminum alloy which has excellent corrosion resistance and extrudability which keeps down the content of Cu which poses a problem in intergranular corrosion resistance, which maintains the natural potential noble, which adds transition metals which do not obstruct the extrudability is provided, that is, an aluminum alloy which has a chemical composition which contains, by mass %, Fe: 0.05 to 0.20%, Si: 0.10% or less, Cu: 0.15 to 0.32%, Mn: 0.08 to 0.15%, Zr: 0.05% or less, Ti: 0.06 to 0.15%, Cr: 0.03% or less, and balance: Al and unavoidable impurities and has an amount of gas in the alloy billet of 0.25 cc/100 g or less, and a method of production of an aluminum alloy which, produces a DC cast billet.

  • Publication number: 20130292012
    Abstract: Provided as an aluminum alloy for finely hollow shapes is an aluminum alloy that is reduced in the content of Cu, which is problematic with respect to intergranular corrosion resistance, and that can be kept having a noble self-potential and has excellent extrudability. The alloy has a chemical composition which contains 0.05-0.15 mass % Fe, up to 0.10 mass % Si, 0.03-0.07 mass % Cu, 0.30-0.55 mass % Mn, 0.03-0.06 mass % Cr, and 0.08-0.12 mass % Ti and which optionally further contains up to 0.08 mass % V so as to satisfy the relationship Ti+V=0.08 to 0.2 mass %. Also provided is a process for producing a finely hollow aluminum alloy shape.
