Abstract
A method for producing an aluminum alloy member includes an extrusion step for subjecting an aluminum (Al) alloy which contains from 1.6% by mass to 2.6% by mass (inclusive) of magnesium (Mg), from 6.0% by mass to 7.0% by mass (inclusive) of zinc (Zn), 0.5% by mass or less of copper (Cu), from 0.01% by mass to 0.05% by mass (inclusive) of titanium (Ti) with the balance made up of aluminum (Al) and unavoidable impurities to hot extrusion. The method further includes a cooling step for cooling the aluminum alloy after the extrusion. The method further includes a strain processing step for introducing strain that miniaturizes precipitates precipitated in the crystal grains of the aluminum alloy after the cooling. The method further includes an aging step for aging the aluminum alloy by heating.
