An aerosol can fabrication process comprises the following steps:
formation of slugs from an aluminium-based alloy having the following
composition, in weight percentage:
TABLE-US-00001
Si 0.35-0.45
Mg 0.25-0.40
Mn 0.05-0.15
Fe 0.12-0.20
Total of minor elements .ltoreq.0.15%
Al Balance.
thermal treatment of the slugs, forced cooling of the slugs, cold
impact extrusion of a slug so as to form a can, applying a lacquer inside
the can.
