The invention relates a 6XXX aluminum
alloy suitable for an automobile body and a preparation process of an automobile body plate. The 6XXX aluminum
alloy comprises the following components including,by
mass, 0.9%-1.3% of
magnesium, 0.70%-1.0% of
silicon, 0.45%-0.6% of
manganese, 0.15%-0.3% of iron, 0.45%-0.55% of
copper and the balance Al and unavoidable impurities, wherein the total amount of the impurities is less than or equal to 0.06%. The preparation process comprises the following steps of melt
casting, homogenizing heat treatment, rolling, solution heat treatment, pre-aging heat treatment,
natural aging treatment and secondary
artificial aging heat treatment. By means of the
alloy and the preparation process, by optimizing the
alloy composition, the preparation process and the heat treatment method, the strength of the plate after standing at
room temperature is reduced, and meanwhile it is guaranteed that the strength of the plate after painting aging is greatly increased. According to the process scheme, melt
casting, homogenization and hot and cold rolling are carried out to obtain an alloy plate; and after the plate is subjected to
solution treatment, preageing is carried out, and a finished aluminum alloy plate which can be used as an automobile body plate material is obtained. By means of the technical scheme, the aluminum alloy plate which is low in cost, high in quality, capable of achieving
room temperature storage and transportation and good in forming property is obtained. After
artificial aging is carried out on the plate obtained after deformation treatment, the strength and
plasticity are both high.
