Among them, JIS 5082, 5182
In a positive pressure can end having a high internal pressure, such as a carbonated beverage using an Al alloy plate, there is a problem that the score part breaks during storage and the opening part bursts. This breakage of the score part occurred very rarely even in the case of the RP method, but S
With the introduction of the OT method, its frequency has increased rapidly. These beverage cans are stored in a warehouse or the like after being filled with contents, wrapped and shredded after washing the cans. However, some of them can burst in about one week at the earliest when stored at high temperature and high humidity. The rupture of this score is stress corrosion cracking because stress concentration due to internal pressure occurs in the score part and the cleaning liquid remaining inside the tab or the like can become a corrosive liquid, but stress corrosion generally occurs in Al-Mg alloys. It shows a different form from cracking.

However, the score cracking occurring at the can end does not show the fracture from the grain boundary, and does not match the case of general stress corrosion cracking.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5 (Reference 1), since cracks occur along the shear band due to score processing, by controlling the amount of Mg,
It states that the β phase is reduced regardless of the grain boundaries and grain boundaries, and score cracking is reduced. In this document 1, basically β
The purpose is to suppress the dissolution of the phases, but in the actual can ends, cracks occur even in the crystal grains and grain boundaries where there is almost no precipitation of β phase. Moreover, when these fracture surfaces are observed, it clearly shows a morphology different from the fracture surface due to the dissolution of the β phase. Therefore, it cannot be said that the conventional technique for suppressing the β phase as shown in Document 1 is sufficient to prevent score cracking.

Rials Society, 1993] (reference 2), it is specified that hydrogen is generated from the cleaning water remaining inside the tab and is adsorbed to the score portion having many fine defects to cause hydrogen brittle cracking. Therefore, the residual water content of the cleaning water itself causes generation of hydrogen, and it is important to remove the water content after cleaning and the water content in the storage atmosphere. However, it is difficult to completely remove water, since it causes an increase in cost at the beverage manufacturer during cleaning and storage and it is necessary to unify the storage conditions for each retail store.

[0007] Further, in addition to the influence of cleaning water, which is an external factor, hydrogen contained in the Al alloy plate has the same effect as cleaning water, and it is important to reduce the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate. Is coming. Up to now, the regulation of the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate has been proposed as an Al alloy plate for drawing and ironing (DI processing), as shown in JP-A-5-320808 (Reference 3). . However, Document 3 is an Al alloy plate for DI processing used for can bodies and the like, and regulates the hydrogen content to improve formability, but does not mention stress corrosion cracking (hydrogen embrittlement cracking) at all. . Further, considering the yield strength value and the chemical composition of the example of Document 3, it is difficult to obtain the yield strength required for the can end for a high internal pressure positive pressure can, which is the object of the present invention, and the Mn content is relatively high. Since there are many of them, there is a possibility of causing cracks at the time of rivet molding and cracks due to score processing, which does not satisfy the can end characteristics. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and to meet the above-mentioned demand, and particularly to provide an Al alloy plate for can end which is excellent in the corresponding corrosion cracking of the score part. Has an aim.

The structure and operation of the present invention will be described. First, the reason for limiting the chemical composition of the Al alloy used in the present invention will be described. Mg: Mg is an important element for imparting strength, and is an essential component in the present invention. As a can end material for carbonated drinks, sufficient strength cannot be obtained unless at least 3.00% is added. However, if added excessively, the strength becomes too high and the moldability is lowered, so the upper limit of the addition amount is 5.50%. Therefore, the addition amount of Mg is set to 3.00 to 5.50%.

Mn: Mn is an important element for imparting strength, and contributes to the improvement of can openability, so it is an essential component in the present invention. In order to obtain sufficient strength and can openability as a can end material for carbonated beverages, it is necessary to add at least 0.35% or more. However, if added excessively, the number of fine crystallized products will be too large, and the formability such as rivet overhangability and score workability will be significantly reduced, so the upper limit is made 0.60%. Therefore, the addition amount of Mn is set to 0.35 to 0.60%.

Fe: The addition of Fe has a great effect on the refinement of crystal grains to improve the moldability, which is an important property as a can end material, and at the same time, to improve the can openability of Al-.
Since it has an effect on the formation of Fe-Mn-based crystallized substances, it is an essential component in the present invention. The larger the amount added, the finer the crystal grains and the better the can openability, but the effect is not observed at less than 0.10%, and the addition exceeding 0.60% results in the formation and crystallization of giant crystallized substances. The number of products produced becomes too large, and the formability such as rivet overhangability and score workability is remarkably reduced. Therefore, the amount of Fe added is 0.10.

If it is less than 0.05%, the effect is not recognized, and if it exceeds 0.25% and is excessively added, the number of crystallized products is excessively increased, resulting in deterioration of formability.

Further, in the present invention, it is an important point to suppress the stress corrosion cracking of the score portion by regulating the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate. The stress corrosion cracking of the score portion decreases as the amount of hydrogen decreases. This is because the score cracking mechanism is hydrogen embrittlement due to the hydrogen present in the aluminum alloy,
In order to suppress this hydrogen embrittlement, the amount of hydrogen in the aluminum alloy is preferably 0.08 cc / 100 g or less, more preferably 0.06 cc / 100 g or less.

[0007] Further, in addition to the influence of cleaning water, which is an external factor, hydrogen contained in the Al alloy plate has the same effect as cleaning water, and it is important to reduce the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate. Is coming. Up to now, the regulation of the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate has been proposed as an Al alloy plate for drawing and ironing (DI processing), as shown in JP-A-5-320808 (Reference 3). . However, Document 3 is an Al alloy plate for DI processing used for can bodies and the like, and regulates the hydrogen content to improve formability, but does not mention stress corrosion cracking (hydrogen embrittlement cracking) at all. . Further, considering the yield strength value and the chemical composition of the example of Document 3, it is difficult to obtain the yield strength required for the can end for a high internal pressure positive pressure can, which is the object of the present invention, and the Mn content is relatively high. Since there are many of them, there is a possibility of causing cracks at the time of rivet molding and cracks due to score processing, which does not satisfy the can end characteristics. The present invention is to solve the problems in the above-mentioned prior art, which has been made to meet the requirements described above, Al alloy plate for the can end, particularly excellent resistance to respond <br/> stress corrosion cracking of the score portion Is intended to provide.

Further, in the present invention, it is an important point to suppress the stress corrosion cracking of the score portion by regulating the hydrogen content in the Al alloy plate. The stress corrosion cracking of the score portion decreases as the amount of hydrogen decreases. This is because the score cracking mechanism is hydrogen embrittlement caused by hydrogen present in the aluminum alloy. In order to suppress this hydrogen embrittlement, the amount of hydrogen in the aluminum alloy is set to 0.08 cc. / 100 g or less, more preferably 0.06 cc / 100 g or less.
