Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a 6000-series aluminum (Al-Mg-Si alloy) extruded material excellent in paint-bake hardenability, whose yield strength is improved when subjected to a heat history equivalent to paint-bake and when subjected to quenching and tempering treatment can be increased. The invention is useful for components that are subjected to a thermal history equivalent to a paint bake, such as vehicle (eg, automobile) components, including frame components such as side members, side members, cross members, and door frames. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, aluminum alloys used for components of automobiles and the like are gaining attention for the protection of the global environment. However, aluminum is more expensive per unit weight than steel. In the case of aluminum, the weight is reduced while the component costs tend to be more expensive at the same time. Therefore, when aluminum alloys are used for automobile compo...
