Aluminium composite material with AlMgSi core layer

A method of forming a component, chassis or structural part or panel in automotive, aircraft or railway vehicle construction, comprising:

• producing a sheet from strip consisting of an aluminium material for production of components with high forming requirements, wherein the strip has a core layer of an AlMgSi alloy of the type AA6014, AA6016, AA6060 or AA6181 and at least one external aluminium alloy layer arranged on one or both sides and made of non-hardenable aluminum alloy, wherein the at least one external aluminium alloy layer has a lower tensile strength than the core layer of an AlMgSi alloy in state T4, in state T4, the strip has uniform elongation Ag of more than 23% transverse to the rolling direction and with a thickness of 1.5 mm to 1.6 mm, a bend angle of less than 40° is achieved in the bending test transverse to the rolling direction and the at least one external aluminum alloy layer consists of an aluminum alloy type AA8xxx or AA1200, wherein the strip is achieved in that a rolling ingot is cast from an AlMgSi alloy of the type AA6014, AA0616, AA6060, or AA6181, the rolling ingot undergoes homogenisation, a cladding layer consisting of an aluminum of the type AA8xxx, AA8079 or AA1200 applied at least on one or both sides of the rolling ingot, and the rolling ingot together with the applied cladding layers brought to hot rolling temperature, roll cladding at hot rolling temperatures, then optionally cold rolled to final thickness, and the finished rolled strip solution annealed and quenched, wherein the hot rolled strip is quenched after roll cladding;
• and
• unitizing the sheet to from the component, chassis or structural part or panel in automotive or railway vehicle construction, wherein the at least one external aluminium alloy has a grain size of less than 50 μm.
