Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023031334A1] The invention relates to an aluminium alloy strip made of an aluminium alloy, to a method for manufacturing the aluminium alloy strip, and to its preferred use. The task of providing an aluminium alloy strip, in particular for manufacturing body parts of a motor vehicle, preferably interior body parts, which aluminium alloy strip provides the necessary strengths and at the same time improved forming properties in addition to the necessary resistance to intercrystalline corrosion, is solved in that the aluminium alloy strip has an aluminium alloy having the following composition in % by weight: Si ≤ 0.10%, Fe ≤ 0.25%, 0.20% ≤ Mn ≤ 0.30%, 4.72% ≤ Mg ≤ 4.95%, Cu ≤ 0.10%, Cr ≤ 0.02%, Ni ≤ 0.01%, Zn ≤ 0.10%, Ti ≤ 0.04%, remainder Al with unavoidable impurities individually ≤ 0.05%, in total ≤ 0.15%, wherein the aluminium alloy strip has an average secondary phase density of less than 250 per 1000 μm2, wherein the total number of secondary phases determined in at least 10 measuring fields in relation to the total measuring area of all measuring fields examined gives the secondary phase density.
