Patent Summary

An extruded profile comprises an Al-Mg-Si aluminium alloy with a non-recrystallised grain structure, designed for vehicle front structures to improve strength, corrosion resistance, crush properties, and temperature stability. The alloy composition is defined by a coordinate region in an Mg-Si diagram bounded by points $a_1$(0.60Mg, 0.65Si), $a_2$(0.90Mg, 1.0Si), $a_3$(1.05Mg, 0.75Si), and $a_4$(0.70Mg, 0.50Si) in wt%. Additional components (wt%) include: Fe $\le$ 0.30, Cu 0.12–0.32, Mn 0.4–1.0, Cr 0.10–0.20, Zr $\le$ 0.25, Ti 0.005–0.15, and incidental impurities $\le$ 0.1 each (including Zn $\le$ 0.5), with balance Al. Mn and Cr must both be present to ensure an even distribution of dispersoid particles. The non-recrystall
