Al-Mg-Si(-Cu) heat-treatable alloys are characterized by a significant increase in hardness upon ageing compared to 6xxx series alloys with a copper content of Cu<0.15wt.%. With a higher amount of copper, the formability and ductility of the alloy are typically decreased compared to 6xxx alloys w...
