    摘要: The invention concerns a 5xxx series aluminium sheet made of an alloy comprising in wt. %: Mg: 2.5-4.0, Mn: 0.7-1.2, Fe: 0.25-0.55, Si: 0.20-0.50, Cu: 0.10-0.25, Cr: up to 0.1, Zn: up to 0.25, Ti: up to 0.1, rest aluminium and unavoidable impurities up to 0.05 each and up to 0.15 in total. The method for producing the 5xxx series aluminium sheet of the invention comprises the steps of casting an ingot with a composition according to the invention, pre-heating the ingot, rough hot rolling on a reversible mill with a rough hot rolling entry temperature of more than 440° C., finish hot rolling the ingot with a hot rolling exit temperature of at least 300° C., cold rolling to obtain a cold rolled sheet. The invention also concerns a can end and a beverage can.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a bottom part of a battery box for electric or hybrid motor vehicles made from an aluminium alloy sheet having a thickness between 2 and 6 mm, wherein said aluminum alloy comprises 2.5 to 4.0 wt. % of Mg, 0.1 to 0.8 wt. % of Mn, 0.4 wt. % or less of Si, 0.5 wt. % or less of Fe, 0.5 wt. % or less of Cu, 0.1 wt. % or less of Cr, 0.1 wt. % or less of Zn, 0.1 wt. % or less of Ti, rest aluminium and unavoidable impurities up to 0.05 wt. % each and 0.15 wt. % total. Another object of the invention is a method to make a bottom part of battery box according to the invention comprising casting said aluminium alloy into a rolling ingot; homogenizing and/or reheating said rolling ingot; hot rolling and optionally cold rolling said rolling ingot to obtain a sheet with a thickness between 2 mm and 6 mm. The bottom part of battery box of the invention is simultaneously light, resistant against intrusion, sufficiently formable and leak tight, corrosion resistant, able to accommodate temperature variations and sufficiently stiff and strong.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a textured-smooth hybrid metal closure cap, and a closing caps produced by the method. The method includes a) the supply of a strip or sheet, made of aluminum alloy known as a “textured” strip or sheet, typically coated on at least one of its faces by a stampable lacquer, b) a first operation for cutting discs, called blanks, c) a step for stamping, in one or more passes, of said blank metal, typically using a stamping lubricant, so as to form a stamped blank, comprising a head and a skirt, typically axially symmetric in the axial direction, d) a step for degreasing said stamped blank, typically intended to eliminate the remaining lubricant, to form a degreased blank that can be lacquered, and e) an optional step of protective lacquering and decoration. After the stamping step, and before the lacquering step, at least one drawing step consisting in passing the stamped blank through drawing rings in order to stretch and thin the metal.
