The invention provides an aluminum
alloy used on an automotive body board, and a manufacture method thereof. The aluminum
alloy has the components as follows: Si is 0.8 to 1.5wt percent, Fe is 0.05 to 0.20wt percent, Cu is 0.01 to 0.11wt percent, Mn is 0.02 to 0.1.wt percent, Mg is 0.51 to 0.7wt percent, Cr is 0.1wt percent, Zn is 0.25wt percent, Ti is 0.15wt percent, rare-earth Ce is 0.01 to 0.2wt percent, and the other weight percentage is composed of Al. The invention has the technology that the Al is added in a resistance furnace first; master alloys that are AlSi20, AlCu50, AlMn10, AlCr5, and Al-5Ce are added and stirred when the Al is melted down and the temperature of fused
mass is 740 to 760 DEG C; the Mg, and the Zn are added when the temperature of the fused
mass is reduced by 720 to 730 DEG C, and then the beating and refining are performed; Al-5Ti-B is added in and stirred when the temperature reaches 730 to 740 DEG C, and then the mixture is stood for 10 to 25 minutes, and is casted and molded in a
cast iron die; then aluminum
alloy cast
ingot is processed through homogenization treatment, and rolled into thin slabs; the thin slabs are processed through water quench after
solution treatment, so that finished products are obtained. The aluminum alloy has better
roasting hardening capacity, has
lower yield strength and higher
plasticity before
punching, facilitates for
punching and molding, and has increased yield strength after
roasting hardening so as to satisfy the
shock resistance request of the automotive body board.
