    Abstract: New 6xxx aluminum alloys are disclosed. In one embodiment, a new 6xxx aluminum alloy sheet product includes from 0.75 to 1.05 wt. % Si, from 0.65 to 0.95 wt. % Mg, wherein (wt. % Mg)/(wt. % Si) is not greater than 0.99:1, from 0.50 to 0.75 wt. % Cu, from 0.02 to 0.40 wt. % Mn, from 0.06 to 0.26 wt. % Cr, wherein (wt. % Mn)+(wt. % Cr) is at least 0.22 wt. %, from 0.01 to 0.30 wt. % Fe, up to 0.25 wt. % Zn, up to 0.20 wt. % Zr, up to 0.20 wt. % V, and up to 0.15 wt. % Ti, the balance being aluminum, optional incidental elements and impurities.

    Abstract: A manufacturing process for obtaining extruded products made from a 6xxx aluminium alloy, wherein the said manufacturing process comprises following steps:



    a) homogenizing a billet cast from said aluminium alloy;
    b) heating the said homogenised cast billet;
    c) extruding the said billet through a die to form at least a solid or hollow extruded product;
    d) quenching the extruded product down to room temperature;
    e) optionally stretching the extruded product to obtain a plastic deformation typically between 0.5% and 5%;
    f) ageing the extruded product without applying on the extruded product any separate post-extrusion solution heat treatment between steps d) and f).
    characterised in that:

    i) the heating step b) is a solution heat treatment where:

    b1) the cast billet is heated to a temperature between Ts-15° C. and Ts, wherein Ts is the solidus temperature of the said aluminium alloy;
    b2) the billet is cooled until billet mean temperature reaches a value between 400° C. and 480° C. while ensuring billet surface never goes below a temperature substantially close to 400° C.;


    ii) the billet thus cooled is immediately extruded (step c)), i.e. a few tens seconds after the end of step b2).

    Abstract: An alloy composition is provided. The alloy composition includes silicon (Si) at a concentration of greater than or equal to about 0.55 wt. % to less than or equal to about 0.75 wt. %, magnesium (Mg) at a concentration of greater than or equal to about 0.55 wt. % to less than or equal to about 0.75 wt. %, chromium (Cr) at a concentration of greater than or equal to about 0.15 wt. % to less than or equal to about 0.3 wt. %, and a balance of the alloy composition being aluminum (Al). The alloy composition has an intermetallic phase content of less than or equal to about 3 wt. %. Methods of preparing the alloy composition and of processing the alloy composition are also provided.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method of manufacturing an aluminium alloy plate for vacuum chamber elements, valves, or total assemblies, the method comprising the steps of: (a) providing a rolling feedstock material of an Al—Mg—Si aluminium alloy having a composition comprising of, in wt. %, Mg 0.80%-1.05%, Si 0.70%-1.0%, Mn 0.70%-0.90%, Fe up to 0.20%, Zn up to 0.08%, Cu up to 0.05%, Cr up to 0.03%, Ti up to 0.06%, unavoidable impurities and balance aluminium; (b) homogenizing of the rolling feedstock at a temperature in a range of 550-595° C.; (c) hot-rolling of the homogenized rolling feedstock in one or more rolling steps to a hot-rolled plate having a thickness of at least 10 mm; (d) solution heat-treatment (SHT″) of the hot rolled plate at a temperature in a range of 540-590° C.; (e) rapid cooling the SHT plate; (f) stretching of the cooled SHT plate to obtain a permanent elongation from 1-5%; (g) artificial ageing of the stretched plate.
