Aluminum material with high formability

An aluminum material, which is composed of crystal grains having different crystal orientations,

• wherein the crystal grains comprise Cube-oriented crystal grains, Brass-oriented crystal grains and Copper-oriented crystal grains with a balance of crystal grains of other orientations;
• wherein, among the orientations of crystal grains, the proportion of the Cube-oriented crystal grains is from 0.3 to 0.5, the proportion of the Brass-oriented crystal grains is from 0.25 to 0.5, the proportion of the Copper-oriented crystal grains is from 0.07 to 0.15, and the total proportion of these orientations is from 0.82 to 0.95 with the balance of crystal grains of other orientations;
• wherein the aluminium material has sheet formability that does not sustain cracks on a punch-stretched surface stretched at a punch-stretch height of 50 mm, and has hem-bendability in a range within which cracks do not occur on a bent surface at a bent radius/thickness ratio of 0.5 or less;
• and
• wherein the aluminum material is an aluminum alloy comprising from 0.25 to 1.0 mass % of Mg and from 0.5 to 1.3 mass % of Si with a balance of Al and inevitable impurities.
