Abstract

The present invention provides an aluminum alloy sheet for press forming, having the crystallo-graphic texture in which the orientation density of CR orientation ({001}<520>) is higher than that of any orientation other than the CR orientation. The orientation density of the CR orientation is preferably 10 or more (random ratio). The orientation densities of all orientations other than the CR orientation are preferably less than 10. The aluminum alloy sheet is preferably made of an Al—Mg—Si alloy.

Claims (18)

1. An aluminum alloy sheet, comprising a crystallo-graphic texture,

wherein an orientation density of CR orientation, {001}<520>, is higher than an orientation density of any orientation other than the CR orientation,

wherein the orientation density of the CR orientation is 10 or more,

wherein orientation densities of all orientations other than the CR orientation are less than 10, and

wherein the aluminum alloy sheet comprises an Al—Mg—Si alloy.

2. An aluminum alloy sheet, comprising a crystallo-graphic texture,

wherein an orientation density of CR orientation, {001}<520>, is higher than an orientation density of any orientation other than the CR orientation,

wherein the orientation density of the CR orientation is 10 or more,

wherein orientation densities of all orientations other than the CR orientation are less than 10, and

wherein the aluminum alloy sheet comprises an Al—Mg alloy.

3. An aluminum alloy sheet, comprising a crystallo-graphic texture,

wherein an orientation density of CR orientation, {001}<520>, is higher than an orientation density of any orientation other than the CR orientation,

wherein the orientation density of the CR orientation is 10 or more,

wherein the orientation densities of all orientations other than the CR orientation are less than 10, and

wherein the aluminum alloy sheet comprises an Al—Mn alloy.

4. The aluminum alloy sheet, comprising, in mass %, 0.2% to 2.0% of Si; 0.2% to 1.5% of Mg, 1.0% or less of Cu, 0.5% or less of Zn, 0.5% or less of Fe, 0.3% or less of Mn, 0.3% or less of Cr, 0.2% or less of V, 0.15% or less of Zr, 0.1% or less of Ti, 0.005% or less of B, inevitable impurities and aluminum.

5. The aluminum alloy sheet, comprising, in mass %, 1.5 to 6.5% of Mg, 1.5% or less of Mn, 0.7% or less of Fe, 0.5% or less of Si, 0.5% or less of Cu, 0.5% or less of Cr, 0.4% or less of Zn, 0.3% or less of Zr, 0.2% or less of V, 0.2% or less of Ti, 0.05% or less of B, inevitable impurities and aluminum.

6. The aluminum alloy sheet for press forming, comprising, in mass %; 0.3 to 2.0% of Mn, 1.5% or less of Mg, 1.0% or less of Si, 1.0% or less of Fe, 0.5% or less of Cu, 0.5% or less of Cr, 0.5% or less of Zn, 0.5% or less of Zr, 0.2% or less of V, 0.2% or less of Ti and 0.05% or less of B, inevitable impurities and aluminum.
