Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017207603A1] The invention relates to hot-rolled semi-finished 6xxx-series aluminium alloy forging stock material having a thickness in the range of 2 mm to 30 mm, and having a composition comprising of, in wt.%, Si 0.65-1.4%, Mg 0.60-0.95%, Mn 0.40-0.80%, Cu 0.04-0.28%, Fe up to 0.5%, Cr up to 0.18%, Zr up to 0.20%, Ti up to 0.15%, Zn up to 0.25%, impurities each <0.05%, total <0.2%, balance aluminium, and wherein it has a substantially unrecrystallized microstructure. The invention relates also to a method of manufacturing such 6xxx-series hot-rolled aluminium alloy forging stock material. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of forging a shaped product from the 6xxx-series aluminium alloy forging stock material.
