| 2001 | Invention patented by Graeme John Marshall, Karl Albert Herbst, Martin Heinze, and Richard Hamerton on October 30th, 2001. Abstract: A method of converting an ingot of a 6000 series aluminium alloy to self-annealing sheet, comprises subjecting the ingot to a two-stage homogenisation treatment, first at at least 560.degree. C. and then at 450.degree. C. to 480.degree. C., then hot rolling the homogenised ingot at a starting hot roll temperature of 450.degree. C. to 480.degree. C. and a finishing hot roll temperature of 320.degree. C. to 360.degree. C. The resulting hot rolled sheet has an unusually low Cube recrystallisation component. |
