- up to and “up to about”, as employed herein, explicitly includes, but is not limited to, the possibility of zero weight-percent of the particular alloying component to which it refers.
- up to 0.10% Zn may include an alloy having no Zn.
- the method according to the invention provides AIMgSc-series aluminium alloy products that have a good strength, preferably Rp> 200 MPa, in combination with a good corrosion resistance, in particular a good exfoliation corrosion resistance in combination with a good intergranular corrosion resistance.
- the cooling rates applied are economically feasible in an industrial environment of manufacturing the AIMgSc-series aluminium alloy products.
- the AIMgSc-series aluminium alloy product manufactured in accordance with the invention is resistant to exfoliation corrosion.
- Resistant to exfoliation corrosion means that the aluminium alloy product passes ASTM Standard G66-99 (2013), entitled “Standard Test Method for Visual Assessment of Exfoliation Corrosion Susceptibility of 5XXX Series Aluminium Alloys (ASSET Test) ".
- N, PA, PB, PC and PD indicate the results of the ASSET test, N representing the best result.
- the aluminium alloy products manufactured in accordance with the invention achieve before and after being sensitised a PB result or better.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy product manufactured in accordance with the invention is also resistant to intergranular corrosion.
- "Resistant to intergranular corrosion” means that both before and after the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy has been sensitized, the aluminium alloy product passes ASTM Standard G67-13, entitled “Standard Test Method for Determining the Susceptibility to Intergranular Corrosion of 5XXX Series Aluminium Alloys by Mass Loss After Exposure to Nitric Acid" (NAMLT Test) ". If the measured mass loss per ASTM G67-13 is not greater than 15 mg/cm 2 , the sample is then considered not susceptible to intergranular corrosion.
- the sample is then considered susceptible to intergranular corrosion. If the measured mass loss is between 15 mg/cm 2 and 25 mg/cm 2 , further checks are then conducted by microscopy to determine the type and depth of attack, whereupon one skilled in the art may determine whether there is intergranular corrosion via the microscopy results.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy products manufactured in accordance with the invention achieve a measured mass loss per ASTM G67-13 not greater than 15 mg/cm 2 both before and after being sensitized. Preferably, the measured mass loss is not greater than 12 mg/cm 2 and more preferably not greater than 9 mg/cm 2 .
- “Sensitized” means that the AIMgSc aluminium alloy product has been annealed to a condition representative of at least 20 years of service life.
- the aluminium alloy product may be continuously exposed to elevated temperature for several days (e.g., a temperature in the range of 100°C to 120°C for a period of about 7 days/168 hours).
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy product may realize resistance to stress corrosion cracking and intergranular corrosion as a result of, at least in part, the absence of a continuous film of ⁇ -phase particles at the grain boundaries.
- Aluminium alloy products are polycrystalline.
- a “grain” is a crystal of the polycrystalline structure of the aluminium alloy, and “grain boundaries” are the boundaries that connect the grains of the polycrystalline structure of the aluminium alloy,
- ⁇ -phase is Al 3 Mg 2 , and
- a continuous film of ⁇ -phase means that a continuous volume of ⁇ -phase particles is present at the majority of the grain boundaries.
- the continuity of the ⁇ -phase may be determined, for example, via microscopy at a suitable resolution (for example, at a magnification of at least 200X).
- a very fast cooling rate for example, by means of quenching from the final annealing temperature to below 150°C, has an adverse effect on the corrosion resistance of the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy product, in particular on the corrosion resistance tested according to the NAMLT-test after being sensitized.
- a slower cooling rate results in an enhanced intergranular corrosion resistance.
- the equivalent time should be longer than 4 hours, preferably longer than 6.5 hours, more preferably longer than 26 hours, and in the second temperature range of about 200°C to about 150°C, the equivalent time should be longer than 0.2 hours, preferably longer than 0.4 hours, more preferably longer than 0.8 hours.
- the relatively slow cooling rate is important for the precipitation of discontinuous ⁇ -phase particles at the grain boundaries and to avoid the precipitation of a continuous film of ⁇ -phase particles, both after cooling to ambient temperature and after the Al-Mg-Sc alloy has been sensitized.
- the cooling down is preferably performed in a continuous mode such that the metal temperature is continuously reduced over time.
- the cooling down from the final annealing temperature to the first temperature range starting at about 250°C is not critical. When employing the method according to the invention on an industrial scale, it can be useful or convenient to apply about the same cooling rate as for the first temperature range.
- the further cooling down from about 150°C to below about 85°C is less critical and can be done at a higher cooling rate to minimize the coarsening of precipitates.
- the cooling rate for the cooling down from about 85°C to ambient temperature is not critical.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy product is in a form selected from the group consisting of a rolled product (sheet or plate), an extruded product, a forged product, and a powder-metallurgy product.

- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy rolled product is cast, subsequently rolled to final gauge, and annealed.
- the alloy can be provided as an ingot or slab for fabrication into rolling feedstock using casting techniques regular in the art for cast products, e.g. Direct Chill DC-casting, and preferably having an ingot thickness in a range of about 220 mm or more, e.g., 400 mm, 500 mm, or 600 mm.
- thin gauge slabs resulting from continuous casting e.g. belt casters or roll casters, also may be used having a thickness of up to about 40 mm.
- the thick as-cast ingot is commonly scalped to remove segregation zones near the cast surface of the ingot.
- the rolling process applied comprises hot rolling and optionally comprises hot rolling followed by cold rolling to final gauge, and where applicable, an intermediate annealing is applied either before the cold rolling operation or during the cold rolling operation at an intermediate cold rolling gauge.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy product Prior to hot rolling, is homogenised or pre-heated for up to about 50 hours, preferably up to about 24 hours, at a temperature in a range of about 320°C to 470°C, preferably of about 320°C to 450°C.
- the hot rolled product receives a very mild cold rolling step (skin rolling or skin pass) with a reduction of less than about 1%, preferably less than about 0.5%, to improve the flatness of the rolled product.
- a very mild cold rolling step skin rolling or skin pass
- the hot rolled product can be stretched. This stretching step can be carried out with a reduction of up to 3%, preferably between about 0.5% to 1%, to improve the flatness of the hot rolled product.

- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy extruded product is produced by a method that comprises the steps, in that order, of: (a) providing an extrusion ingot, e.g. by means of DC-casting, of the aluminium alloy as herein described and claimed; (b) preheating and/or homogenisation of the extrusion ingot; preferably at temperature and times similar as for the rolling feedstock; (c) hot extruding the ingot into an extruded profile having a section or wall thickness in a range of 1 mm to about 20 mm, preferably 1 mm to about 15 mm; the billet temperature at the start of the extrusion process is typically in a range of about 400°C to about 500°C; optionally stretching of the extruded profile to increase product straightness, and (d) annealing of the extruded profile at a final annealing temperature followed by the cooling procedure in accordance with the present invention.

- a preferred lower-limit for the Sc-content is about 0.05%, and more preferably about 0.1%.
- the Sc-content is up to about 0.4%, and preferably up to about 0.3%.
- Mn may be added to the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloys and may be present in a range of up to about 1%. In an embodiment, the Mn-content is in a range of about 0.3% to 1%, and preferably about 0.3% to 0.8%.
- the Zr is present in a range of 0.05% to 0.30%, preferably in a range of about 0.05% to 0.25%, and more preferably is present in a range of about 0.07% to 0.15%.
- Cr can be present in a range of up to about 0.3%. When purposively added, it is preferably in a range of about 0.02% to 0.3%, and more preferably in a range of about 0.05% to 0.15%. In an embodiment, there is no purposive addition of Cr and it can be present up to 0.05%, and preferably is kept below 0.02%.
- Ti may be added up to about 0.2% to the AIMgSc alloy as strengthening element or for improving the corrosion resistance or for grain refiner purposes.
- a preferred addition of Ti is in a range of about 0.01% to 0.2%, and preferably in a range of about 0.01% to 0.10%.
- the combined addition is at least 0.15% to achieve sufficient strength, and preferably does not exceed 0.30% to avoid the formation of too large precipitates.
- the combined addition of Zr+Ti is at least 0.08%, and preferably does not exceed 0.25%, and wherein Cr is up to 0.02%, and preferably only up to 0.01%.
- Zinc (Zn) in a range of up to 1.5% can be purposively added to further enhance the strength in the aluminium alloy product.
- a preferred lower limit for the purposive Zn addition would be 0.1%.
- a preferred upper limit would be about 0.8%, and more preferably 0.5%, to provide a balance in strength and corrosion resistance.
- the Zn is tolerable impurity element, and it can be present up to 0.15%, and preferably up to 0.10%.
- Cu can be present in the AlMgSc-alloy as strengthening element in a range up to about 2%. However, in applications of the product where the corrosion resistance is a very critical engineering property, it is preferred to maintain the Cu at a low level of about 0.2% or less, and preferably at a level of about 0.1% or less, and more preferably at a level of 0.05% or less. In an embodiment the Cu-content is 0.01% or less.
- Fe is a regular impurity in aluminium alloys and can be tolerated up to about 0.4%. Preferably it is kept to a level of up to about 0.3%, and more preferably up to about 0.20%.
- Si is also a regular impurity in aluminium alloys and can be tolerated up to about 0.3%. Preferably it is kept to a level of up to 0.2%, and more preferably up to 0.10%.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy has a composition consisting of, in wt.%: Mg 3.0% to 6.0%, Sc 0.02% to 0.5%, Mn up to 1%, Zr up to 0.3%, Cr up to 0.3%, Ti up to 0.2%, Cu up to 0.2%, Zn up to 1.5%, Fe up to 0.4%, Si up to 0.3%, balance aluminium and impurities each ⁇ 0.05% and total ⁇ 0.15%, and with preferred narrower compositional ranges as herein described and claimed.
- the method can be employed to a wide range of AlMgSc-series aluminium alloys. It has been found that with increasing Cu-content in the aluminium alloy, a lower cooling rate and thus a longer equivalent time in the defined first and second temperature range from the final annealing temperature is being preferred. Such a very low cooling rate has no adverse effect on the corrosion performance of AlMgSc-series aluminium alloys having a very low Cu-content, for example, less than 0.05%, or even less than 0.01%.
- the aluminium alloy product is a single or double curved panel, in particular, a single or double curved aircraft fuselage panel.
- Sheet products of 4.5 mm have been manufactured on an industrial scale comprising the steps of DC-casting of a rolling ingot, scalping, milling, preheating to hot rolling temperature between 400°C and 450°C, hot rolling, cold rolling to 4.5 mm and with intermediate annealing during the cold rolling operation, and final annealing at a set temperature of 325°C (598K) for 2 hours and followed by different controlled cooling rates according to Table 1 and whereby specimen A, B and C are according to the invention, and specimen D is comparative.
- the AIMgSc aluminium alloy cast has the following composition, in wt.%, 4.0% Mg, 0.55% Mn, 0.2% Sc, 0.3% Zn, 0.1% Zr, 0.07% Cr, 0.07% Ti, 0.02% Si, 0.02% Fe, 0.006% Cu, balance aluminium and inevitable impurities.
- Table 1 lists the measured mass loss per ASTM G67-13 for each specimen having different cooling regimes from the final annealing temperature after sensitising at 120°C for 168 hours.
- the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy rolled product manufactured in accordance with the invention is resistant to intergranular corrosion.
- "Resistant to intergranular corrosion” means that both before and after the AlMgSc-series aluminium alloy has been sensitized, the aluminium alloy product passes ASTM Standard G67-13, (NAMLT Test)". All sensitized specimesn had a PA performance, and all non-sensitized specimen had also a PA performance.
- the method according to the invention results in an aluminium alloy product having a good intergranular corrosion resistance in combination with a good exfoliation corrosion resistance.
- Similar corrosion performance of the aluminium alloy product will be achieved in the cooling down from a high-temperature forming operation performed at the final annealing temperature, for example, a creep forming operation performed at 310°C or 325°C.
