Litho strip with high cold-rolling pass reduction

A method for production of an aluminium strip for lithographic printing plate supports from an aluminium alloy, wherein the aluminium alloy of the aluminium strip for lithographic printing plate supports comprises the following alloy constituents in % by weight:

• 0.05%≤Si≤0.25%,
• 0.2%≤Fe≤1%,
• Cu max. 400 ppm,
• Mn≤0.30%,
• 0.10%≤Mg≤0.50%,
• Cr≤100 ppm,
• Zn≤500 ppm,
• Ti<0.030%,
• the remainder aluminium and unavoidable impurities individually at most 0.03%, in total at most 0.15%, with at least the following steps:
• casting of a rolling ingot from an aluminium alloy,
• homogenising of the rolling ingot,
• hot rolling of the rolling ingot to a hot strip thickness, and
• cold rolling of the hot strip to final thickness,
• wherein the final thickness of the aluminium strip after cold rolling is between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm,
• wherein on cold rolling, the product of the relative final thicknesses of the aluminium strip from a first and second cold rolling pass is 17% to 22%.
