Abstract:
An aluminum-alloy sheet has a chemical composition containing Si: 2.3-3.8 mass %, Mn: 0.35-1.05 mass %, Mg: 0.35-0.65 mass %, Fe: 0.01-0.45 mass %, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Cu: 0.0010-1.0 mass %, Cr: 0.0010-0.10 mass %, Zn: 0.0010-0.50 mass %, and Ti: 0.0050-0.20 mass %. The ratio of the Si content to the Mn content is 2.5 or more and 9.0 or less. The aluminum-alloy sheet exhibits an elongation of 23% or more and a strain hardening exponent of 0.28 or more at a nominal strain of 3%. Such an aluminum-alloy sheet is well suited for press forming (stamping) applications, such as forming automobile body panels.
