Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0375572A1] The invention relates to an Al alloy for stamping, essentially containing Si, Mg and Cu, and to its process of manufacture. This alloy comprises (in % by weight) contents of Mg and Si which are within a polygon ABCDE having the following coordinates: <IMAGE> the copper content being between 0.5 and 0.8%, the contents of the elements Cr and Zr being less than 0.2% each, the Mn content being </= 0.3%, the Fe content being </= 0.35% and the content of the other elements being individually </= 0.05%, and in total </= 0.15%, the remainder being Al. The range of fabrication methods comprises semi-continuous or continuous ingot casting, optional homogenisation, hot transformation ending in the range 270-320 DEG C, optional cold transformation, complete dissolution, shaping by stamping, folding, roll bending etc., and annealing. This alloy is principally employed in panels for automobile bodywork. <IMAGE>
