One of the most important topics in the automotive industry is reduction of fuel consumption and the associated decrease of CO2-emissions. The use of aluminum alloys with the accompanying positive effect of weight reduction can realize these requirements of the OEMs.In the present work a newly developed 6xxx series alloy with balanced Mg/Si-ratio is presented which was optimized regarding intergranular corrosion resistance, formability in delivery temper T4 and high mechanical properties after artificial aging with the typical heat treatment cycle 205 °C / 60 min. At present, in chassis applications non-heat treatable 5xxx series alloys are used and by using the herein presented alloy the mechanical properties can be significantly increased resulting in lower weight of the component due to thickness reduction.
