A preformed component for building of welded structures, is made of aluminium alloy containing by weight 3.0-6.5% magnesium, 0.2-1.0% manganese, 0.05-0.6% silicon and less than 0.8% iron and 1.3% zinc, also possibly up to 0.15% chromium and up to 0.30% each of copper, titanium, silver, zirconium and vanadium, with other elements and impurities up to 0.05% each and 0.15% total. It comprises 150-2000, preferably 300-1500, particles per square mm. of Mg2Si of size between 0.5 and 5 microns. Also claimed are a hot-rolled band of the alloy, but containing less than 0.4% Fe, at least 2500, preferably at least 3300 mm. wide, use of the alloy, with up to 0.5% Zn, in naval construction, or with over 0.5% Zn as a coating to protect welded joints in naval construction and use of the alloy in industrial vehicles. |
