Abstract
Described herein is a method of manufacturing an aluminium alloy rolled product of a heat-treatable aluminium alloy, comprising: semi-continuous casting a heat-treatable aluminium alloy into a rolling ingot; homogenizing of the rolling ingot to a peak metal temperature (PMT) and whereby said aluminium alloy has a specific energy associated with a DSC signal less than 2J/g in absolute value; hot rolling of the rolling ingot in multiple hot rolling steps into a hot rolled product having a final rolling gauge of at least 1 mm, whereby the hot rolled product during at least one of the last three rolling steps has a temperature less than 50° C. below PMT; quenching of the hot rolled product at final rolling gauge from hot-mill exit temperature to below 175° C.; optionally stress relieving and ageing of the quenched and optionally stress relieved hot rolled product.
