Definitions

  • the invention relates to an automotive outer panel made from a 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet product and to a method of manufacturing such a panel.
  • up to 0.15% Zn may include an alloy having no Zn.
  • an automotive outer panel made from a 6xxx-series aluminium alloy sheet product consisting of, in wt.%: Si 0.54% to 0.75%, Mg 0.57% to 0.65%, Cu 0.03% to 0.08%, Mn 0.06% to 0.20%, Fe 0.10% to 0.25%, wherein the ratio of Fe to Mn is in a range of 1.0 to 2.30 (Fe:Mn), and wherein the aluminium alloy sheet product has a ratio of Si to Mg of less than 1.20 (Si:Mg) and at least 0.90 (Si:Mg), Cr up to 0.09%, Zn up to 0.15%, V up to 0.04%, Ti up to 0.15%, other elements and unavoidable impurities each up to 0.05%, total up to 0.2%, balance aluminium.
  • the automotive outer panel made of the defined aluminium alloy sheet product by carefully controlling the compositional ranges of the aluminium alloy (with preferred ranges herein set forth and claimed) and its manufacturing route provides a good balance of low strength and good formability, in particular also a good hemming performance, in a T4P temper (relates to material in a T4 temper and that has undergone a pre-ageing treatment to a pre-age temperature in a range of 90 °C to 105 °C), and a high paint bake response and high strength in a T64 temper (after 2% prestrain and a simulated paint bake cycle of 185°C/20 min).
  • a T4P temper relates to material in a T4 temper and that has undergone a pre-ageing treatment to a pre-age temperature in a range of 90 °C to 105 °C
  • a high paint bake response and high strength in a T64 temper (after 2% prestrain and a simulated paint bake cycle of 185°C/20 min).
  • the aluminium sheet product has a very good resistance to corrosion.
  • it has a very good resistance to intergranular corrosion (IGC) when tested in a naturally aged condition after being subjected to a paint bake cycle, as well as after being exposed for 1,000 hours at 150°C.
  • IGC intergranular corrosion
  • the requirement of a good IGC resistance after 1,000 hours at 150°C is to reflect the extreme situation that the aluminium sheet product when applied in a vehicle body is long term exposed to elevated temperature near heat sources such as an engine, exhaust system or sun rays.
  • the Mg-content in the aluminium alloy sheet product is at most 0.65%.
  • the ratio of wt.% Si to wt.% Mg is less than 1.20 (Si:Mg), and preferably at most 1.10 (Si:Mg) to provide sufficient strength and a high formability in the T4P temper.
  • the ratio of Si to Mg is at least 0.90 (Si:Mg). In an embodiment, the ratio of Si to Mg is at least 0.95 (Si:Mg). This narrow range of Si:Mg ratio is to improve the formability in the T4P temper and to increase the strength in the T64 temper of the aluminium alloy sheet product.
  • the manganese (Mn)-content is at least 0.10%.
  • a preferred upper-limit for the Mn-content is 0.18%, and more preferably 0.15%.
  • Vanadium (V) can be present in the aluminium alloy sheet product up to about 0.04%.
  • the aluminium alloy includes not greater than 0.03% V, and more preferably not greater than 0.02% V, as it may have an adverse effect on the r-value of the aluminium sheet in the T4P temper.
  • the alloy according to the invention meets the requirements that in a T4P temper it has a tensile strength of 180 MPa or more, preferably at least 195 MPa, a yield point of 115 MPa or less when measured within 3-10 days after solution heat treatment and quench, and an elongation at break of at least 24%, an uniform elongation of at least 20%, a strain hardening exponent (n-value) of at least 0.26.
  • the yield point was less than 130 MPa after 6 months storage at room temperature.
  • the sheet product has an IGC corrosion resistance well below the required threshold of less than 200 micron.
  • the aluminium alloy sheet product has in a T64 temper a tensile strength of 260 MPa or more, a yield point of 195 MPa or more, and an elongation at break of at least 14%.
  • DC-cast ingots of an aluminium alloy according to this invention has been processed in accordance with the invention into 1.0mm sheet material except for a difference in the pre-age temperature.
  • the composition of the aluminium alloy is listed in Table 2.
  • One alloy has been pre-aged at about 100°C (4A) and one at about 70°C (4B) and immediately coiled at this temperature and cooled to room temperature in an ambient environment.
