- a preferred aluminium alloy has a chemical composition consisting of, in wt.%:
- a more preferred choice is the AA6005 alloy, and more in particular the AA6005A-series alloy, for both alloys with the proviso that the Cu-content is ⁇ 0.25%, and preferably ⁇ 0.2%.
- the sum of Mn+Cr is preferably less than 0.50%, and more preferably in a range of 0.1 % to 0.50% for optimum hemming performance.
- the sheet product in accordance with the present invention may comprise only one clad sheet applied to only one of the faces. In another embodiment a clad sheet is applied to both faces of the sheet product. As a result, a composite material is obtained which exhibits excellent balanced properties, viz. strength and formability versus corrosion performance, dent resistance and hemming performance.
- Such a composite material can be manufactured via various techniques known in the art, and which includes roll bonding and casting techniques such as disclosed in European patent document EP-A-1638715.
- the dimensions of the aluminium composite material can be varied in many ways for use as automotive body sheet it is made from the aluminium alloy sheet product according to this invention and having a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 4 mm, preferably 0.5 to 3 mm, and more preferably of about 0.7 to 1.5 mm.
- the clad layer or clad layers are usually much thinner than the core sheet, and each clad layer constituting about 1 % to 25% of the total composite sheet thickness.
- a clad layer more typically constitutes around about 1 % to 12% of the total composite sheet thickness.
- the invention in a further aspect of the invention it relates to a method of manufacturing a formed structural automotive component incorporating the aluminium alloy sheet product as described herein.
- the method comprises of casting, preheating and/or homogenisation, hot rolling, cold rolling, solution heat-treating ("SHT"), and rapid cooling or quenching after SHT to provide the sheet product, optionally having a cladding on one or both of its faces.
- SHT solution heat-treating
- the cast rolling ingot material has been at least homogenised at a temperature of at least 500 0 C, and more preferably at a temperature of at least 520 0 C. It has been found that using such relatively high homogenisation temperature leads to coarsening of the precipitates in the rolling ingots in the presence of at least Zr. These coarse precipitates facilitate the formation of the preferred fully recrystallised isotropic grain structure in the sheet product in the underaged T6 temper resulting in the favourable combination of strength and formability.
- the aluminium alloy sheet during the solution heat treatment has been heated to the solution heat treatment temperature in a range of about 400 0 C to 500 0 C using an average heat-up rate of more than 30°C/sec, and preferably of more than 50°C/sec. It has been found that a very fast heat-up rate facilitates the formation of a recrystallised and very fine isotropic grain structure in the solution heat-treated and quenched aluminium alloy sheet leading amongst others to increased n-values.
- the aluminium alloy sheet can be, for example, rapidly heated-up in a continuous annealing furnace by means of inductive heating. In an alternative embodiment the rapid heat-up rate is obtained by other means such as infra-red heating.
- the aluminium alloy sheet product is aged.
- the cooled aluminium alloy sheet product is first naturally aged, for example for several minutes up to about four weeks, and preferably for up to about two weeks, to obtain a T4 temper and then artificially aged to an underaged T6 temper, e.g. T61 , T64 or T65 according to EN515, by a heat-treatment comprising of 1 to 10 hours at 100 0 C to 14O 0 C.
- the sheet product has a near peak yield strength ensuring no significant strength loss during possible further heat treatment, in particular no significant strength loss following a subsequent paint bake cycle after forming.
- the sheet product has typically a yield strength or proof strength of at least 390 MPa, preferably of at least 405 MPa, and more preferably of the least 415 MPa. Furthermore in this underaged temper the sheet product has typically an elongation A50 of at least 12%. At this stage the alloy sheet product has preferably also a fully recrystallised isotropic grain structure. In this context "fully recrystallised” means that at least 80%, and preferably at least 90%, of the grains in this underaged T6 temper are recrystallised.
- the alloy composition combined with the specific underaged T6 temper provides for a grain structure allowing a high degree of forming, e.g. by means of deep-drawing or stamping to a formed automotive structural component, while maintaining a high strength.
- the formability at this temper is better in various forming modes than the formability of the sheet product in a T4 temper.
- the sheet product may be coated with a lubricant, oil or dry lubricant, suitable for the forming operation, the assembly and the surface treatment of the structural part to be produced.
- the sheet product may also be treated to apply a surface passivation layer to enhance adhesive bonding performance.
- the formed automotive structural component is then optionally provided with a lacquer or paint layer, and is made part of an assembly of other metal components as is regular in the art for manufacturing vehicle components, and subjected to a paint bake operation to cure any paint or lacquer layer applied.
- the paint bake operation or cycle comprises one or more sequential short heat treatment in the range of 150 0 C to 210°C for a period of 10 to less than 40 minutes, and typically of less than 30 minutes.
- a typical paint bake cycle would comprise a first heat treatment of 180°C@20 minutes, cooling to ambient temperature, then 160°C@20 minutes and cooling to ambient temperature.
- a paint bake cycle may comprise of 2 to 5 sequential steps and includes drying steps, but either way the cumulated time at elevated temperature (100 0 C to 190 0 C) of the aluminium alloy product is less than 120 minutes.
- the formed automotive structural component made according to this invention maintains a high strength level, typically having a yield strength of 380 MPa or more, and preferably of 395 MPa or more, after the paint-bake cycle.
- the rolled aluminium alloy sheet product used in the method according to this invention has a high yield strength after the paint bake cycle.
- Such high yield strength levels after the paint bake allow for the design for thinner parts compared to similar part made from the known AA5000- and AA6000-series alloys commonly used in structural automotive application.
- the subject 7000-series alloy when processed in accordance with the invention may replace structural parts currently made from high strength steels leading to considerable weight saving opportunities in the motor vehicle.
- the automotive structural part is one selected from the group consisting of: a door beam, roof beam, side beam, instrumental panel support beam, pillar reinforcement, tunnel, B-pillar reinforcement, body-in-white part.
- the invention in another aspect of the invention it relates to other structural application parts made from the aluminium alloy sheet, such as a part of a drive train.
- in another aspect of the invention is relates to the use and to a method of use of the aluminium alloy sheet product as set out in this description and defined in accordance with the claims in a method of manufacturing a forming automotive part whereby the sheet product has been aged to near-peak strength levels, then formed and the formed sheet product has been subjected to a paint-bake cycle to achieve a yield strength of at least 380 MPa, and preferably of 395 MPa or more, after the paint-bake cycle.
- 2.7 mm sheet has been produced from 5 different aluminium alloys as listed in Table 1 , wherein alloy no. 4 is the alloy according to this invention.
- the aluminium alloys have been homogenised, hot rolled to 22 mm, re-heated at 460°C, hot rolled to 5.5 mm, cold rolled to a final gauge of 2.7 mm, SHT for 30 min@475°C, quenched, and aged for 8 hours@150°C to near peak strength properties.
- Alloy 1 represents a regular 7021 alloy and which is commonly homogenised at about
- the alloy according to this invention offers increased strength levels while maintaining favourable formability characteristics (at least when assessed on the basis of the elongation) in comparison with the regular 7021 alloy sheet product. Furthermore, it can be seen that a homogenisation practice at elevated temperature, thus above 500°C, results in an increased elongation.
- alloy no. 4 in accordance with the invention combines high mechanical properties, including elongation, with a good bendability.
- the sheet material of alloy no. 4 had also been subject to a simulated 3-step paint bake cycle consisting of a first treatment of 20 min@180°C, air cooled to room temperature, followed by a second treatment of 20 min@160°C, air cooled to room temperature, and then followed by a third treatment of 20 min@140°C followed by air cooling to room temperature.
- the sheet material had an initial Rp of 420 MPa (see also Table 2 above) and had after the simulated 3-step paint bake cycle an Rp of 410 MPa, illustrating that when the sheet material prior to forming is at near peak strength it does not loose much of its original yield strength following a paint bake cycle (in this example about 2%), but instead the yield strength levels are maintained at a desirable high levels.
