In the subsequent use process, the forming method is mainly bending and punching. With the continuous increase in market demand, the comprehensive performance requirements of materials are gradually increasing, especially the requirements for punching performance; however, there is a problem of low elongation, so it cannot meet the user's high punching depth requirements. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above technical problems and provide a method for manufacturing a 5052 aluminum alloy sheet with high elongation for deep drawing; thereby obtaining a higher elongation, improving the punching performance of the 5052 sheet, and meeting the user's requirements for high punching depth.

[0004] A method for manufacturing a high-elongation 5052 aluminum alloy sheet for deep drawing is carried out according to the following steps:

[0005] 1. According to the weight percentage composition of Cu<0.1%, Mn<0.1%, Si<0.25%, Fe<0.4%, Mg: 2.2%-2.4%, Cr: 0.15%-0.25%, Zn<0.1% and the balance Al, weigh the smelting raw materials and smelt them to obtain an aluminum alloy solution;

[0006] 2. The aluminum alloy solution is melt-casted to obtain an aluminum alloy ingot, which is then homogenized, annealed, and hot-rolled to a thickness of 5.0 mm to obtain a hot-rolled billet, which is then cold-rolled to a thickness of 1.5 to 2.5 mm to obtain a cold-rolled coil;

[0007] 3. The cold rolled coil is subjected to air cushion annealing, and then the annealed coil is handed over to a shearing machine to be sheared to corresponding specifications to obtain a high elongation 5052 aluminum alloy sheet for deep drawing, thus completing the manufacturing method.

[0008] Furthermore, the smelting and casting in step 2 is performed according to the current 5052 smelting and casting process, with a casting temperature of 660°C to 700°C, a smelting and casting speed of 50 to 60 mm / min, a casting cooling water pressure of 0.003 to 0.1 MPa, and a cooling water temperature of 20°C to 26°C.

[0009] Furthermore, the homogenization annealing in step 2: the furnace gas is kept at a constant temperature of 470° C., and the steel is taken out of the furnace after heating for 15 hours.

[0010] Furthermore, the air cushion annealing in step three: the furnace temperature is 455-460° C., the speed is 20 m / min-35 m / min, the pure stretching has an elongation of 0.02%.

[0011] Advantages of the present invention:

[0012] The present invention performs homogenization annealing treatment on the 5052 alloy with a low alloying degree, improves the problem of component and structure segregation in the original structure of the ingot, and lays a foundation for the finished product to obtain good comprehensive performance; at the same time, the composition is finely regulated, and the control range of main alloying elements such as Mg and Cr is tightened to determine a lower recrystallization temperature range to ensure performance; a continuous annealing line is used to perform heat treatment on the 5052 alloy, so that the material can quickly reach temperature to obtain uniform and fine grains to improve its elongation; the cold deformation degree and the finished product annealing system are matched, so that the material obtains good anisotropy. According to the above four aspects of innovation, the punching performance point of the 5052 plate is improved, and the elongation of the produced 5052 plate can reach 25%, and at the same time, it can be guaranteed that the punching height of 200mm is free of cracks.
