Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9708354A1] An alloy containing 3.0 to 8.0 wt.% of Mg, 0.001 to 0.1 wt.% of Ti and as small amounts of Fe and Si (as impurities) as 0.06 wt.% or below and the balance consisting of A1 and unavoidable impurities wherein the number per square millimeter of grains of an Al-Fe-Si compound having a diameter of 1 mu m or above is 2000 or below, the mean crystal grain diameter is 25 to 200 mu m and the elongation is 350 % or above as worked at 350 to 550 DEG C and a strain rate of 10<-2> to 10<0>/s. This alloy may further contain a small amount of Cu, Mn and/or Cr and is formed at a temperature of 350 to 550 DEG C and a strain rate of 10<-3> to 10<0>/s. An aluminum alloy sheet which is excellent in high-speed superplastic formability and therefore can be formed at high temperature and high speed is obtained and the use of this sheet shortens the forming time to improve the productivity.
