Problems solved by technology

However, the existing 6000-series aluminum alloy body panels are transported to the automobile factory for stamping after solid solution quenching in the material processing plant, and then baked and painted to make body components. During the transportation process, the aluminum alloy panels will undergo natural aging and reach T4 after two weeks. Its strength is relatively high, and its stamping performance is poor, and after stamping, its strength is not significantly improved after baking paint treatment, and it may even be lower than the T4 temper strength of the incoming material, which cannot exert the expected roast hardening effect of 6000 series aluminum alloys.

Abstract

The invention provides Al-Mg-Si alloys for automobile body sheets and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of alloy materials. The invention solves the following problems: the existing 6000 series alloys have poor stamping forming performance and the strength of the alloys is possibly reduced through paint baking after stamping. The alloys comprise the following components in percentage by weight: 0.75-1.5% of Si, 0.2-0.5% of Fe, 0.2-1.0% of Cu, 0.25-1.0% of Mn, 0.75-1.85% of Mg; 0.15-0.3% of Zn, 0.05-0.15% of Cr, 0.05-0.15% of Ti, 0.05-0.35% of Zr and the balance Al. The alloys have the advantages of low yield strength, convenient stamping, high plasticity and good impact resistance and baking hardenability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum alloy and a manufacturing method thereof, in particular to an Al-Mg-Si series aluminum alloy for automobile body panels and a manufacturing method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of alloy materials. Background technique [0002] The world's auto industry is facing three increasingly severe issues: energy, environmental protection, and safety. Under the urgent situation that the world's industrial development requires energy saving and environmental protection, the world's major automobile manufacturers try to increase the proportion of lightweight materials used in automobiles to reduce the weight of automobiles, reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and improve fuel economy of automobiles. Aluminum alloy can significantly reduce the weight of the car, which helps to improve the driving stability, ride comfort and safety of the car, and has excellent performance and high recyclabilit...
