Latest Patents
Yuya Sawa holds a patent for a "High-strength 6000-based alloy thick plate having uniform strength in plate thickness direction and method for manufacturing the same." This invention relates to a high-strength aluminum alloy thick plate composed of an aluminum alloy that includes a prescribed quantity of Si, Mg, Ti, Fe, and the balance Al. The thick plate features a material structure where the area ratio of MgSi with circle equivalent diameters of 3 µm or more in the plate thickness central portion is 0.45% or less. Additionally, the area ratio of MgSi in a region of 20 mm ± 1.5 mm from the plate surface is 1.2 times or more and 3.0 times or less than that in the plate thickness central portion. This aluminum alloy thick plate exhibits sufficient strength and good uniformity of strength in the plate thickness direction, and it can be manufactured by cooling it after a solution treatment, creating a suitable temperature difference between the plate thickness central portion and the surface, followed by a quenching treatment.
