Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, even if cracks do not occur during rivet forming, if necking occurs, there is a possibility of cracks during staging (processing of knocking the rivet to destroy it in order to attach the tab to the cap).
Furthermore, in the prior art, necking during rivet forming cannot be controlled, and better rivet formability that suppresses necking is required.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aluminum alloy plate for can lids, which achieves excellent rivet formability without lowering the material strength. One embodiment of the present invention provides an aluminum alloy plate for can lids, which contains 3.8-5.5% by mass of Mg, 0.1-0.5% by mass of Fe, 0.05-0.3% by mass of Si, 0.01-0.6% by mass of Mn and 0.3% by mass or less of Cu, with the balance made up of Al and unavoidable impurities, and which is characterized in that: the number density of intermetallic compounds having circle-equivalent diameters of from 10 nm to 300 nm (inclusive) is 80 compounds / [Mu]m3 or less; and the area ratio of intermetallic compounds having circle-equivalent diameters of more than 300 nm is from 0.3% to 2.0% (inclusive).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an aluminum alloy plate for can ends, and particularly relates to an aluminum alloy plate for easy-open can ends with a good balance between material strength and rivet formability. Background technique [0002] The properties required for aluminum alloy sheets for can ends include formability against end processing, compressive strength against internal pressure after beverage filling, and can openability for normal and easy opening. [0003] On the other hand, in recent years, from the viewpoint of cost reduction, there has been a demand for thinner aluminum alloy sheets for can ends. However, reducing the thickness of the aluminum alloy plate reduces the compressive strength of the can end. As one of the methods of suppressing the decrease in the compressive strength of the can end, it is conceivable to increase the strength of the aluminum alloy itself, but there is a problem that the formability is lowered along w...
