Abstract

The present disclosure provides an aluminum alloy rolled material for molding, including an Al—Mg—Si—Cu-based alloy containing 0.30 mass % or more Cu. A ratio of a cube orientation density to a random orientation is 10 or more in a plane that is perpendicular to a sheet thickness direction and is at a depth of ¼ of a total sheet thickness from a surface. An absolute value of a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of an average Taylor factor in a case in which molding is assumed to cause plane strain deformation having a main strain direction that is a rolling width direction is 1.0 or less. The average Taylor factor is obtained for each of subareas that are obtained by equal division of an area, having a 10 mm width in the rolling width direction and a 2 mm length in a rolling direction, into 10 subareas in the rolling width direction. The subareas are in a plane that is perpendicular to the sheet thickness direction and is at a depth of ½ of the total sheet thickness from the surface.
