More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to an aluminum 6XXX (Al-Mg-Si) alloy extrusion component exhibiting a superior combination of strength and energy absorption for crash management applications in automotive markets and for other applications where energy absorption is a critical property. These components provide yield strengths greater than 260 MPa, and preferably greater than 280 MPa, while simultaneously providing energy absorption per unit cross-sectional area of greater than 20 kJ/mm2 using the defined crush testing parameters in the present specification.
