Abstract

The present disclosure concerns an aluminum alloy with improved strength and ductility. The aluminum alloy composition of the present disclosure achieves a superior strength/ductility combination compared to existing Al—Mg—Si alloys. The aluminum alloy comprises, in weight percent: 0.45-0.60 Si; ≤0.3 Fe; 0.30-0.65 Cu; 0.71-0.90 Mg; ≤0.20 Mn; ≤0.12 Cr; and the balance being aluminum and inevitable impurities.

Claims
