The Effects of Heat-treatment Conditions and Alloy Compositions on Tensile Properties in Al-Mg Alloys for Automobile Body Panels

차체 판넬용 Al-Mg합금에서 열처리조건 및 조성변화가 인장특성에 미치는 영향

Aluminum sheet application to automobile body panels has now become an important objective to meet the requirements of automobile weight reduction. As the Mg content in Al-Mg based alloys increased up to 7.19%, the strength and elongation increased. For instance. Al-7.19Mg alloy had a high strength of 305MPa and a high elongation of 35%. A study was also made to investigate the interrelation between grain size and tensile properties with varying the contents of Mg, Ti and Zr elements and annealing conditions. The yield stress decreased as the grain size increased, which increased the uniform elongation. The strain hardening exponents n increased as the Mg content increased, which depended on the increasing difficulties of the cross slip of dislocation.
