Aluminum alloy forged material for automotive vehicles and production method for the material

摘要

An aluminum alloy forged material for automotive vehicles comprises 0.6ˆ¼1.2 mass% of Mg, 0.7ˆ¼1.5 mass% of Si, 0.1ˆ¼0.5 mass% of Fe, 0.01ˆ¼0.1 mass% of Ti, 0.3ˆ¼1.0 mass% of Mn, at least one of 0.1ˆ¼0.4 mass% of Cr and 0.05ˆ¼0.2 mass% of Zr, a restricted amount of Cu that is less than or equal to 0.1 mass%, a restricted amount of Zn that is less than or equal to 0.05 mass %, a restricted amount of H that is less than or equal to 0.25 ml in 100g A1 and a remainder of A1 and inevitably contained impurities, and the material includes precipitated crystalline particles among which the largest one has a maximum equivalent circle diameter equal to or less than 8 µm and an area ratio of the precipitated crystalline particles is equal to or less than 3.6%.
