摘要： A method of making aluminum alloy sheet in a continuous in-line process is provided. A continuously-cast aluminum alloy strip is optionally quenched, hot or warm rolled, annealed or heat-treated in-line, optionally quenched, and preferably coiled, with additional hot, warm or cold rolling steps as needed to reach the desired gauge. The process can be used to make aluminum alloy sheet of T or O temper having the desired properties, in a much shorter processing time.

摘要： A method of making aluminum alloy sheet in a continuous in-line process is provided. A continuously-cast aluminum alloy strip is optionally quenched, hot or warm rolled, annealed or heat-treated in-line, optionally quenched, and preferably coiled, with additional hot, warm or cold rolling steps as needed to reach the desired gauge. The process can be used to make aluminum alloy sheet of T or O temper having the desired properties, in a much shorter processing time. The T or O temper may be selected by annealing the strip to achieve an O temper or solution heat treating the strip to achieve a T temper, and, if a T temper is desired, quenching the strip subsequent to the solution heat treating. The invention further provides a hot or warm rolling step wherein the strip is substantially reduces to a final thickness about 10-65% from a casting thickness.

摘要： The present invention discloses a product comprising a 1xxx, 3xxx and 8xxx series aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater compared to the average values of the same alloy in O-temper cast using a slab or roll-casting process. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles. In another embodiment, the present invention discloses a 8111 or 8921 aluminum alloy made by a non-ingot casting process, where the aluminum alloy has a thickness of about 5 micrometers to about 150 micrometers for a foil product. The product has an O-temper tensile strength, O-temper elongation, and O-temper Mullen pressure that are at least 10% greater than the average values of the same alloy in O-temper made from feedstock prepared by slab or roll casting processes. The product is substantially free of pinholes caused by centerline segregation of intermetallic particles.
