Overview

EN 1301-2:2008 - Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Drawn wire - Part 2: Mechanical properties - is a CEN European Standard that defines the mechanical property requirements for aluminium and aluminium‑alloy drawn wire intended for general engineering use (excluding aeronautical rivets and wires for electrical or welding purposes). It complements Part 1 (inspection and delivery conditions) and sets the tensile test and reporting rules used across CEN member states.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope limitations: Applies to drawn wires (not drawing stock) for general engineering; excludes electrical/welding wire and aeronautical rivets (special rules for rivet wire in certain tempers are included).
  • Testing standards referenced: Sampling in accordance with EN 1301-1 and tensile test methods per EN 10002-1, with additional conditions: use full‑section test pieces and measure elongation on a 100 mm reference length.
  • Mechanical property tables: Tensile strength, proof stress and typical elongation limits are specified across alloy series (1xxx to 7xxx) and common EN AW alloy designations (examples in the standard include EN AW‑1050A, EN AW‑6061, EN AW‑6082, EN AW‑7075, etc.). Values are provided by alloy and temper.
  • Temper designations: Temper names follow EN 515 (e.g., O, H12–H38, H13, H18, T4, T6, plus special tempers such as T39/T89). The standard notes when additional testing in T4/T6 (or T42/T62 alternatives) is required for rivet/wire in heat‑treatable alloys.
  • Rounding and reporting: Annex A defines strict rules for rounding measured results and recording test data (including extra decimal for elongation) to determine compliance.
  • Supersession: EN 1301-2:2008 supersedes EN 1301-2:1997 and includes updated alloy/temper entries and editorial updates.

Applications and who uses this standard

  • Manufacturers and suppliers of aluminium drawn wire for automotive, general engineering, fasteners and component production - to set and verify mechanical property requirements.
  • Quality and materials laboratories - for tensile testing, sampling and reporting to harmonized EU rules.
  • Design and procurement engineers - to specify appropriate wire grades, tempers and acceptance criteria in contracts and product datasheets.
  • Conformity assessors and standardization professionals - to align national standards and ensure product interchangeability across Europe.
