Aluminium Alloy And Method For Producing The Alloy

Abstract: The aluminium alloy is rapidly-solidified and plastically consolidated and comprises between 3.00 and 10.00 wt.% of magnesium and between 1.00 and 6.00 wt.% of manganese. It moreover comprises dispersoid forming transition elements which are selected from the group consisting of chromium, vanadium, titanium, zirconium, molybdenum, cobalt and niobium. The total amount of these transition elements is at least 0.50 wt.%. The maximum amounts of these elements is 1.50 wt.% for Cr, 1.50 wt.% for V, 1.00 wt.% for Ti, 1.00 wt.% for Zr, 1.50 wt.% for Mo, 1.50 wt.% for Co and 1.00 wt.% for Nb. The aluminium alloy is preferably corrosion resistant and allows, due to its fine grained stabilized structure, to combine a high yield strength at room temperature with a good thermal resistance and with relatively low forming forces at high temperatures. The liquidus temperature of the alloy remains relatively low so that it can be produced easily on an industrial scale.
