Abstract (en)

[origin: US2014166165A1] An Al—Mg—Si-based high-strength aluminum alloy extruded shape exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and ductility, and exhibits excellent hardenability during extrusion (i.e., ensures high productivity). A method for producing the same is also disclosed. The high-strength aluminum alloy extruded shape includes 0.65 to 0.90 mass % of Mg, 0.60 to 0.90 mass % of Si, 0.20 to 0.40 mass % of Cu, 0.20 to 0.40 mass % of Fe, 0.10 to 0.20 mass % of Mn, and 0.005 to 0.1 mass % of Ti, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities, the aluminum alloy extruded shape having a stoichiometric Mg2Si content of 1.0 to 1.3 mass %, an excess Si content relative to stoichiometric Mg2Si of 0.10 to 0.30 mass %, and a total content of Fe and Mn of 0.35 mass % or more.
