Abstract (en)

An improved elongate aluminum alloy product, and a method of producing such a product, ideally suited for use as a component in a vehicle frame or subassembly, i.e., body-in-white. The alloy comprises essentially 0.45 to 0.7% magnesium, 0.35 to 0.6% silicon, 0.1 to 0.35% vanadium, and 0.1 - 0.4% iron, preferably 0.15 to 0.3%, the balance substantially aluminum and incidental elements and impurities. <IMAGE>
