  • the as-cast ingot is commonly scalped to remove segregation zones near the cast surface of the ingot.
  • Homogenisation should be performed at a temperature of 460°C or more. If the homogenisation temperature is less than 460°C, reduction of ingot segregation and homogenisation may be insufficient.

  • the ingot is being hot-rolled in one or more rolling steps to a final gauge in a range of 2 mm to 30 mm, preferably 2 mm to 20 mm, and more preferably of 2 mm to 15 mm.
  • the method according to this invention avoids the need for further down-gauging via cold rolling.
  • the hot-rolling process is carefully controlled such that the hot-mill exit-temperature is in a range of 200°C to 360°C, and preferably in a range of 230°C to 280°C, to ensure that the hot-rolled feedstock has a substantially unrecrystallized microstructure.
  • a hot-mill exit temperature in this temperature ranges supresses the coarse precipitation of secondary phases such as Si and Mg 2 Si and AIMgCu-phases and thereby enabling a balance of high strength and good ductility in the final forged product.
  • the grain size in the final forged product is too coarse, e.g. an average grain size of more than 90 micron.
  • the hot-mill entry-temperature is in a range of 400°C to 550°C, and preferably in a range of 435°C to 535°C and more preferably below 500°C, in order to reach the desired hot-mill exit-temperature.
  • the feedstock can be coiled or cut-to-length.
  • the forging feedstock material at final gauge can be processed into a desired shaped product via a hot-shaping process, in particular into an automotive vehicle structural part, using the following processing steps:
  • the hot-formed or forged product is subjected to a solution heat-treatment (SHT), preferably at a temperature of about 460°C to 560°C, preferably about 500°C to 560°C, for 20 minutes to 8 hours, preferably 20 minutes to 2 hours, and quenched to below 70°C, prior to artificially ageing which would bring said product after ageing to a T6X condition by applying one or more ageing steps, and wherein at least one of the ageing steps consists of holding the hot-formed shaped product at a temperature between 150°C and 210°C for a period of 0.5 hours to 15 hours. For example 8 hours at 175°C or 10 hours at 160°C.
  • SHT solution heat-treatment
  • the invention intends to encompass several alternative production routes for manufacturing forged products using the hot-rolled feedstock material, e.g. non-limitative production routes comprising at least the following sequential processing steps:
  • a forged structural member made from the hot-rolled semi-finished 6xxx-series aluminium alloy forging stock or obtained by the method of manufacturing forged products using such hot-rolled 6xxx-series forging stock, and having a substantially recrystallized microstructure.
  • substantially recrystallized microstructure we mean that more than 90%, preferably more than 95%, and more preferably more than 97%, of microstructure across the thickness of the forged product is substantially recrystallized.
