Abstract

Abstract An aluminum alloy plate for printing is composed of 0.05-0.30% Mg, 0.05-0.30% Si, 0.15-0.30% Fe and the remainder Al and ordinary impurities. This printing plate is manufactured through the steps of subjecting an aluminum alloy ingot of this composition to a thermal soaking treatment; carrying out a hot rolling process; then carrying out a cold rolling process on the hot rolled alloy at least at a reduction of 70%; and carrying out low temperature annealing at a temperature of 150 DEG -250 DEG C. for at least one hour.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 41 words
An aluminum alloy printing plate comprising a printing plate of an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.05-0.30% Mg, 0.05-0.30% Si, 0.15-0.30% Fe and the remainder Al and ordinary impurities said plate having a uniformed grained surface and a photosensitive layer thereon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 41 words
An aluminum alloy printing plate comprising a printing plate of an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.05-0.30% Mg, 0.05-0.30% Si, 0.15-0.30% Fe and the remainder Al and ordinary impurities said plate having a uniformed grained surface and a photosensitive layer thereon.
Claim 3
Independent Claim 89 words
A method for producing an aluminum alloy printing plate comprising the steps of: subjecting an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.05-0.30% Mg, 0.05-0.30% Si, 0.15-0.30% Fe and the remainder Al and ordinary impurities to a thermal soaking treatment, hot-rolling the thus-treated alloy, cold-rolling the hot-rolled alloy at a reduction of at least 70%, annealing the cold-rolled alloy at a temperature between 150° to 250° C. over a period of at least one hour, and roughening the surface of the resulting alloy so as to have a uniformly grained surface.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 89 words
A method for producing an aluminum alloy printing plate comprising the steps of: subjecting an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of 0.05-0.30% Mg, 0.05-0.30% Si, 0.15-0.30% Fe and the remainder Al and ordinary impurities to a thermal soaking treatment, hot-rolling the thus-treated alloy, cold-rolling the hot-rolled alloy at a reduction of at least 70%, annealing the cold-rolled alloy at a temperature between 150° to 250° C. over a period of at least one hour, and roughening the surface of the resulting alloy so as to have a uniformly grained surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
A method for producing an aluminum alloy printing plate as set forth in claim 2, wherein after the roughening treatment, the resultant aluminum alloy plate is coated with a photosensitive layer.
