For the appropriate design of these components, it is necessary to knowhow the manufacturing process a ects the material properties. In the first place, high plastic strains("p) can be generated during the stamping process, which can result in a change in the residual stressand mechanical properties in the plastically deformed areas. Furthermore, if a last coat of paintthat is usually subjected to a thermal cycle, characterized by temperature (T) and exposure time (t),is applied, it can also influence mechanical behaviour. Consequently, this paper studies how bothprocesses a ect the mechanical behaviour of an aluminium alloy of the 5000 series, commonly usedin these types of components. In particular, the mechanical properties such as the yield stress at 0.2%( 0.2), the ultimate tensile strength (sut) and the engineering strain at break (e f ) have been analysed.To achieve this, a response surface technique, based on the design of experiments, has been used. Theresponse surfaces obtained allow for the prediction of mechanical properties 0.2, sut and e f for anycombination of values of t, T and "p.
