Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019174870A1] The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an AlMgSi<u>(Cu)</u>alloy sheet product particularly suitable for use in the production of automotive body parts, the method comprising the steps of (a) providing a rolled aluminium alloy sheet comprising an AA6000-series alloy; (b) solution heat treating the rolled aluminium alloy sheet; (c) quenching said sheet; (d) pre-ageing said sheet by subjecting it to a heat treatment at a pre-ageing temperature of 65°C to 110°C, for a pre-ageing time of 20 to 70 min. and (e) cooling the pre-aged sheet from the pre-ageing temperature at a cooling rate of more than 3°C/h.The invention is also related to an aluminium sheet product produced by this method.
