Overview

EN 1715-3:2008 - Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Drawing stock - Part 3: Specific requirements for mechanical uses (excluding welding) specifies the requirements for aluminium drawing stock intended for general mechanical uses (excluding welding and excluding drawn wire). It defines alloy selection, delivery tempers, inspection and testing frequency, and the documentation required at delivery. General delivery conditions are covered in EN 1715-1.

Keywords: EN 1715-3:2008, aluminium drawing stock, mechanical uses, tempers, chemical composition, mechanical properties

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and exclusions
    • Applies to drawing stock for mechanical uses; does not apply to drawn wire and excludes welding applications.
  • Chemical composition
    • Alloys and compositions must comply with EN 573-3.
    • Certificates must report Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ti, Ga and V; any other elements specified in EN 573-3 (e.g., Pb, Bi, Zr) shall also be reported.
  • Alloys and typical tensile ranges
    • Table 1 in the standard lists main alloys used for mechanical purposes (examples: EN AW-6060, EN AW-6061, EN AW-6082, EN AW-7075, etc.) with typical tensile strength ranges and recommended delivery tempers.
    • Foreword notes updates from the previous edition (e.g., alloy EN AW-6056 added).
  • Tempers for delivery
    • Tempers shall be designated per EN 515. Usual tempers include F (as fabricated), O (annealed), O3 (homogenised), T4 (solution treated, naturally aged).
    • If no temper is specified by the purchaser, the default delivered temper is F.
  • Inspection and testing
    • Chemical composition: checked for each cast as per EN 1715-1.
    • Mechanical properties: measured at least once per coil; alternate sampling frequencies may be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser.
  • Delivery documentation
    • Requires a certificate of mass and analysis and a test report (identifying alloy, temper, diameter, coil IDs, mechanical test results, dates, net mass) as specified in EN 1715-1.
  • Marking and packaging
    • Per EN 1715-1.

Applications

  • Use for procurement, manufacture and quality control of aluminium drawing stock intended for mechanical forming and fabrication (excluding welding). The standard is relevant where defined alloy chemistry, temper and tensile properties affect downstream processing and final part performance.

Who should use this standard

  • Aluminium drawing-stock manufacturers, quality and production engineers, procurement specialists, testing laboratories, and designers specifying material for mechanical applications.

Related standards
