Method for producing aluminum alloy extruded material

Abstract

A method for producing an aluminum alloy extruded material includes: subjecting, to extrusion processing, a casted billet obtained from an aluminum alloy containing 6.0 to 8.0% by mass of Zn, 1.50 to 3.50% by mass of Mg, 0.20 to 1.50% by mass of Cu, 0.10 to 0.25% by mass of Zr, 0.005 to 0.05% by mass of Ti, 0.3% by mass or less of Mn, 0.25% by mass or less of Sr, contents of Mn, Zr and Sr being 0.10 to 0.50% by mass, with the balance being Al and inevitable impurities to obtain an extruded material; cooling the extruded material, immediately after the extrusion processing, to 100° C. or less at a cooling rate of 50 to 750° C./min; then subjecting the extruded material to a heat treatment at 110 to 270° C. and subjecting the extruded material to plastic working within a prescribed time after the heat treatment.
