Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2017182506A1] The invention relates to a method for producing an aluminum strip for lithographic printing plate carriers made of an aluminum alloy, wherein the aluminum alloy has the following alloy components in wt.%: 0.05 % ≤ Si ≤ 0.25 %, 0.2 % ≤ Fe ≤ 1 %, Cu max. 400 ppm, Mn ≤ 0.30 %, 0.10 % ≤ Mg ≤ 0.50 %, Cr ≤ 100 ppm, Zn ≤ 500 ppm, Ti < 0.030 %, residual Al, and maximally 0.03% of individual unavoidable impurities, in sum maximally 0.15%, said method having at least the following steps: - casting a rolling ingot from an aluminum alloy, - homogenizing the rolling ingot, - hot-rolling the rolling ingot to a final hot strip thickness, and - cold-rolling the hot strip to a final thickness, wherein the final thickness ranges between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm after the cold-rolling process. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for producing an aluminum strip for lithographic printing plate carriers in order to produce aluminum strips for lithographic printing plate carriers while simultaneously allowing a reduction of costs for producing the printing plate carriers. This is achieved in that during the cold-rolling process of the hot strip, the product of the relative final thicknesses of the aluminum strip after the first and after the second cold-rolling pass of the aluminum strip is 15% to 24%.
