Method for producing a motor vehicle component from a 6000-series aluminum alloy

A method of producing a motor vehicle component from a 6000-series aluminum alloy, the method comprising:

• rapid heating of a blank comprising 6000-series aluminum alloy, using contact plates, to a temperature between 450° C. and 600° C. in a time of less than 20 seconds,
• ending the rapid heating in response to obtaining a grain size between 20 and 50 μm,
• quenching the blank to a temperature of less than or equal to 100° C., in a time of less than 20 seconds to form a tempered blank, the rapid heating and the quenching of the blank is performed in a total time of less than 50 seconds,
• applying a lubricant at 20° C. to 100° C. to the tempered blank,
• forming the tempered blank in a forming tool, the time between beginning of the rapid heating and beginning of the forming is less than 50 seconds, and
• stabilizing or aging the tempered blank, wherein the 6000-series aluminum alloy comprises the following alloy elements, expressed in weight-percent:
• silicon (Si)
• 0.60 to 1.00
• magnesium (Mg)
• 0.65 to 0.95
• copper (Cu)
• 0.25 to 0.90
• remainder aluminum and smelting-related contaminants.
