ABSTRACT:
Production of a thin aluminum alloy strip containing iron, manganese and silicon by hot rolling and cold rolling with a subsequent final annealing, includes the steps of (a) producing a bar by a continuous casting process, from 0.7-1.15% by weight Fe; 0.5-2.0% by weight Mn; and less than 0.6% by weight Si; as well as impurities, none of which exceeds 0.03% by weight, the remainder of the bar being aluminum; (b) homogenizing the bar for 2 to 20 hours at a temperature from 620.degree. to 480.degree. C., after which the bar is (c) hot rolled in a usual manner to a final thickness of 4 mm; then (d) cold rolled without intermediate annealing to a final thickness of 40 to 250 microns; and (e) annealing the cold-rolled strip for 1 to 6 hours at a temperature of 250.degree. to 400.degree. C. The alloy produced has a sub-grain structure, with an average 10 grain diameter of 0.5 to 5 microns, the subgrains constituting at least 50% of the total structure. An alternative embodiment includes the addition of at least one of the following elements: Mg: 0.1-0.8% by weight, Cu: 0.1-0.3% by weight, and Zr: 0.01-0.20% by weight.
