The present invention relates to an extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums that has excellent cutting surface finish. Recently, new photosensitive agents such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) and organic semiconductors have come to be used in photosensitive drums of copying machines, printers, and the like. However, drums using these photosensitizers are usually manufactured by extruding an aluminum tube, mirror-cut, and then vapor-deposited or coated with the photosensitizer, but in this case, the surface roughness is 5. /100
It needs to be less than μ. If the surface roughness is large, the original characteristics of the photosensitizer cannot be exhibited, and in this point, it is different from the case where conventionally used photosensitizers such as Se and CdS are used. In other words, when using a photosensitive material, especially amorphous silicon (a-Si), Si crystallizes locally in areas where the surface roughness of the photosensitive drum is large, deteriorating image quality. The quality of the finish is an essential requirement. For example, a magnetic disk substrate requires a mirror finish, but in this case defects such as protrusions and holes on the surface of the disk substrate become a problem, and the defect size is equivalent to the unit spatial area of magnetic recording. However, when using amorphous silicon (a-Si),
The essential difference is that crystallization occurs at local protrusions rather than defect size. Therefore, it is important that the entire surface of the photosensitive drum has a uniform mirror surface. In this way, AA5086 alloy is often used in fields where the surface of photosensitive drums is required to have a mirror-like finish.
In addition to the Mn content of 0.2 to 0.7wt%, as an impurity
Since Fe, Si, etc. are contained, these compounds form crystallized substances and interfere with the surface finish. cannot satisfy the required accuracy. In order to improve the surface finish of photosensitive drums that use new photosensitive agents such as amorphous silicon (a-Si) and organic semiconductors as described above, the present inventor conducted research on material-related factors. (1) Crystallized substances are fine and few in number. (2) The grain size should be as fine as possible. It was found that these two points were major factors. Regarding (1), this is a well-known fact experienced with magnetic disks, etc., and can be achieved by controlling the amount of impurities to a trace amount or heating them to high temperatures to dissolve them into solid solution. It was found that by adding the factor 2), the surface finish of the photosensitive drum was dramatically improved, and in particular, if the crystal grains were large, a uniform surface with low roughness could not be obtained over the entire surface of the photosensitive drum. The present invention has been made based on the findings of the inventors, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums that can fully use a new photosensitive agent and has an excellent cutting surface finish. be. The extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums with excellent cutting surface finish according to the present invention is characterized by containing 3.0 to 5.0 wt% Mg and 0.01 to 0.12 wt% Cr, and containing impurities Fe≦0.12, Si≦0.10wt%,
Mn is regulated to 0.2wt%, the balance is Al, and
The average crystal grain size on the cut surface is to be 380μ or less. The extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums having excellent cutting surface finish according to the present invention (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as the aluminum alloy according to the present invention) will be described in detail. First, the components, component ratios, and average grain size of the aluminum alloy according to the present invention will be explained. Mg is an element that increases strength, and if the content is less than 3.0wt%, this effect is not sufficient, causing slight deflection during high-speed rotation during cutting, and 5wt%
If the content exceeds this amount, extrudability will be inhibited. Therefore, the Mg content is set to 3.0 to 5.0 wt%. Cr is an element that refines crystal grains, and if the content is less than 0.01wt%, this effect will be small, and the higher the content, the greater the effect, but if the content exceeds 0.12wt%, the Al 7 Cr Forms compounds that inhibit finish quality. Therefore, the Cr content is set to 0.01 to 0.12 wt%. Fe and Si are contained as impurities, and the content is 0.12wt% for Fe and 0.10wt% for Si.
If it exceeds this amount, compounds such as Al-Fe, Al-Fe-Si, Mg 2 Si, etc. will be formed and the surface finish will be impaired. Therefore, the Fe content is 0.12wt% or less, and the Si content is
Regulated to 0.10wt% or less. Mn is also contained as an impurity, and Mn
is an element that refines crystals, but if the content exceeds 0.2wt%, Al 6 Fe or Al 6
Forms (Mn, Fe) crystals and impairs surface finish. Therefore, the Mn content is regulated to 0.20wt% or less. The maximum roughness (Rmax) is set to 5/100μ because the surface finish deteriorates as the crystal grain size increases.
In order to achieve the following, the average crystal grain size must be 380μ or less. In addition to the above-mentioned components, it is permissible to contain Ti in an amount of 0.037 wt% or less in order to refine the crystal grains of the ingot. Next, an example of an extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums having excellent cutting surface finish according to the present invention will be described. Example An aluminum alloy having the components and proportions shown in Table 1 was melted according to a conventional method, cast into a 200φ ingot, soaked at 520°C for 4 hours, extruded and Diameter 80 due to drawing process
A tube with a thickness of 3.0 mm and a wall thickness of 3.0 mm was fabricated. This tube was stabilized at a temperature of 250° C. for 2 hours and used as a test material. Cutting was performed under the following conditions. (1) Rough cutting (NC lathe) Tool: Sintered diamond tool (commercially available) Cutting speed: 450 m/min Depth of cut: 0.25 mm Feed: 0.1 mm/rev (2) Finish cutting (ultra precision lathe) Tool: Natural diamond Manufacturing tool (commercially available) Cutting speed: 450m/min Depth of cut: 0.015mm Feed: 0.03mm/rev Find the maximum roughness (Rmax) using a surface roughness meter at the center of the cut product with a total length of 300mm, and check the results. Shown in Table 1.

[Table] From Table 1, the extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums with excellent cutting surface finish according to the present invention is
Rmax can easily be less than 0.05μ, and Cr
Although the alloy with a small content (No. 7) and the alloy with large crystal grains (No. 4) have the same components and content ratio as the extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive tram with excellent cutting surface finish according to the present invention, It is clear that the alloys (Nos. 5, 6, and 8), which have fine crystal grains but contain a large amount of impurities, have extremely poor surface finishes. As explained above, since the extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums according to the present invention with excellent cutting surface finish has the above-mentioned structure, the new photosensitizers such as amorphous silicon and organic semiconductors can be used in a sufficient amount. As an extruded aluminum alloy for photosensitive drums that can be used, it has the effect of having excellent cutting surface finish properties.
