Abstract:
New 6xxx aluminum alloy strips having an improved combination of properties are disclosed. The new 6xxx new aluminum alloy strips are rolled to a target thickness in-line via at least a first rolling stand and a second rolling stand. In one approach, the 6xxx new aluminum alloy strips may contain 0.8 to 1.25 wt. % Si, 0.2 to 0.6 wt. % Mg, 0.5 to 1.15 wt. % Cu, 0.01 to 0.2 wt. % manganese, 0.01 to 0.2 wt. % iron; up to 0.30 wt. % Ti; up to 0.25 wt. % Zn; up to 0.15 wt. % Cr; and up to 0.18 wt. % Zr.
Abstract:
New 6xxx aluminum alloys having an improved combination of properties are disclosed. The new 6xxx aluminum alloy generally include from 0.30 to 0.53 wt. % Si, from 0.50 to 0.65 wt. % Mg wherein the ratio of wt. % Mg to wt. % Si is at least 1.0:1 (Mg:Si), from 0.05 to 0.24 wt. % Cu, from 0.05 to 0.14 wt. % Mn, from 0.05 to 0.25 wt. % Fe, up to 0.15 wt. % Ti, up to 0.15 wt. % Zn, up to 0.15 wt. % Zr, not greater than 0.04 wt. % V, and not greater than 0.04 wt. % Cr, the balance being aluminum and other elements.
