1. A method for manufacturing a rolled product of variable thickness made of heat-treatable aluminum alloy, in which
a. a slab made of heat-treatable aluminum alloy is cast, b. optionally, said slab is homogenized, c. said optionally homogenized slab is hot rolled, by achieving a lengthwise thickness variation to obtain a rolled product of variable thickness, having a thicker part and a thinner part, the difference in thickness of which is at least 10%, d. said rolled product of variable thickness is solution heat-treated and quenched, e. said rolled product of variable thickness, thus solution heat-treated and quenched, is stress relieved by controlled stretching, with a permanent set of at least 1% in the thickest part, f. the rolled product so obtained is naturally or artificially aged. |
